Zeke told Ares, “Ares, use the Dark Level divine weapon to trap the tail!”
“Got it!” Ares replied.
He leaped into the air and landed on the ground, aiming his divine weapon at the creature's tail to attempt to pin it to the ground.
Zeke was concerned that the Dark Level divine weapon alone wouldn't be enough to subdue the creature, so he summoned his energy to morph into Dragon King Sword, which he used to help pin the creature's tail to the ground.
Zeke's Dragon King Sword wasn't crafted using spiritual iron, but it was as powerful as a Mid Dark Level divine weapon.
Both Dark Level divine weapons successfully pinned the tail to the ground.
The creature let out a deafening roar of agony and thrashed about, colliding with the nearby mountains with its massive body.
Simultaneously, its body rapidly decreased in size, and within a moment, it returned to its normal size.
By then, everyone finally saw its true form—it was a pangolin.
The pangolin was in critical condition, with blood seeping out of its orifices and its breathing labored. It appeared as if the pangolin could die at any moment.
Sole Wolf sighed. “We defeated this primordial beast with ease. It seems we've overestimated their power, and Minotaur might be the strongest creature around here.”
Zeke shook his head. “It isn't that simple. Didn't you notice that the pangolin is severely injured?”
Sole Wolf answered, “Yes, I noticed that. Wasn't that our doing?”
Zeke shook his head. “I don't think so. I suspect the pangolin was already badly hurt before we showed up. I'll go check it out, so cover me.”
“Cover? Cover what?” Sole Wolf was baffled.
Zeke expressed his concerns, “I'm worried that the pangolin might be feigning its injuries. It could be using it as a ploy to draw us closer before unleashing a powerful attack to eliminate us all at once.”
Sole Wolf nodded solemnly. “Okay.”
