Chapter 392 One Shot At The Kill
Seizing the moment when the monster turned to chase SouthWind, who was throwing stones from the other side, Riley, PineappleBeer, and TartKing finally took cover and regrouped briefly inside a massive
crater.
All three were covered in dust and blood, looking utterly battered and worn out.
“We have to force it to open its mouth. The second it does, we need to break past the defense of its six arms and land a killing blow straight into its weak spot,” Riley said, her gaze unnervingly calm, not the slightest bit shaken by their desperate situation.
Her mind raced as she calculated every possible angle and outcome.

stumbled and scrambled down into the crater as well, drained of nearly all his stamina and over his body.
s then that something suddenly crossed his mind. He reached out into thin air, rummaging in his ventory, and pulled out an ancient parchment scroll shimmering with a faint silver glow.
“I’ve got a scroll here-the Space Swap Scroll.”
SouthWind spoke in a rushed, urgent tone.
“It’s a one-time consumable. Within the scroll’s lock range, I can forcefully swap my position with any target I mark. Size and weight don’t matter at all; the swap is guaranteed to work no matter what.”
At his words, Riley and PineappleBeer’s eyes both lit up.

“Your plan has merit,” PineappleBeer pointed out coolly, picking apart the flaws, “but this thing is rough as nails. Even if the oil detonates inside it, a misfired explosion might not damage its core. Its defense has skyrocketed after merging with the other monster. We have to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
Riley nodded firmly. “We’ve got no other options left. Might as well roll the dice and hope it works.
She glanced at SouthWind. “Get the oil barrels out first and tie them together.”
“Got it.”
Without hesitation, SouthWind let Riley and the others draw the monster’s attention while he pulled one black metal oil barrel after another out of his Inventory.
NorthWind stepped in quickly to help, using thick nylon rope to bind the dozen barrels tightly into one huge cylindrical bundle.
To avoid putting all their hopes on a single attempt, SouthWind split the barrels into two separate batches The smaller bundle would also be easier to drop down the monster’s gaping maw.
Now came the hardest part-getting close enough. They’d already witnessed the flawless all-around defense of its six arms. If SouthWind got blocked mid-swap the moment he activated the scroll, their entire assault would be useless.
The colossal monster’s thunderous roars grew louder by the second. SouthWind and NorthWind quickly finished securing the barrels, stowed them back into the Inventory, and rushed back into the frontline fight.
While holding the monster at bay, NorthWind darted over to Riley and laid out his plan in a rapid, hushed voice.
“Later, you three charge out and draw its full attention. I’ll summon three max-tier stone arrow towers right around this area. The towers can’t kill it, but they’re tall enough. I’ll time their collapse perfectly to pin its flailing arms in place the second they topple over.
“Even if we lock its arms for just two seconds, that’s all the opening you’ll need!”
It was a rough, makeshift plan full of unpredictable variables.
There was no time for careful refinement, no room for mistakes at
