Hemm, huuu, seriously, i... cant clearly process what's... happening

Huuu, we, we are under attack by a thing scarier that all the other fucking one i've seen so far ! Heck, usually i compare them to alien, but even him would go back with his tail between his legs back to his egg, crying from fright ! I mean...

A two meters large, black pincer has penetrated from the tips of his two claws inside the "shielding dome" and is currently trying to crunch the rest to enter entirely.

On the other side of the shield, a large, gaping worm maw surrounded with countless little claws scratching the shield, and with the inside of the maw carpeted with little teeth like a fucking worm from Dune, is trying to force his way following the claws. And a long, scaled neck with at least a twenty meters lenght is hooked away with the rest of his corpse, who was hidden away behind some trees.

And no, i dont want to know what's behind, the front is perfectly good enough to already make me know we're screwed.

Promptly reacting after the lightning attack, the two J-warrior are positionning themselves to slash away at the neck of this wormy-thing, while J-priest, Carl and Boobs elf are casting random spells.

Beastcat seem to have gone away to attack the main body.

And for me, i'm frozen in place, with eyes wide open.

What did you expect, really ? That i will attack him with my poor little fists ? Leeeeeroy jenkins ? Dream on.

I didn't see it cracking before, and franckly i would have been perfectly happy not knowing it, but the shield dome of Book girl look like he's made of solid glass, with each destroyed bit silently exploding when touching the ground. The main problem is the threathening sound of this glass breaking is awfully going louder with each passing seconds ! Book girl is currently glaring at the gaping, drooling mouth, while tightening her grip on her magic stick.

And in the meantime, the faster to react, J-warrior dps, is attacking !

He send a huge, heavy slash with his great two-handed sword at the base of the neck, near the maw of the beast, and i can tell because the slash leave a red glow after-effect, that it was enhanced by magic. Some green goo splash around, but sadly it doesnt look like he penetrated much, huh.

J-warrior tank is currently trying to bash directly near the base of the claws with his shield, but it seem riiiiidiculously ineffective. I hope he has anoth-

- RrrrrRRRRRBRRRAAACK ! -

Ho, a spell was launched ! Boobs elf used magic to create a three meters huge stone hand from the ground who immediately grab the worm by the middle in an attempt to squeeze it !

Yaaay, way to go, my girl ! Except that the worm dont seem to fazed by this ? But at least he stopped moving wildly like some maggot on a fish hook. And Carl too seem to have finish-

- FRrrRRRTCHCKTCHAKTCHAK ! -

-ed his spell, he create a lot of sharp icicles and propel them in a machine-gun fashion on another area not yet attacked of the neck ! It's spectacular, but not really effective too, judging from the swallow wounds.

Hooo, well, they didn't do much damage, but the worm seem to be annoyed by it, nonetheless ! He stopped trying to penetrate further into the solid shield and is currently doing the reverse way to get out, but his large pincers are slowing him, since they were already inside. And in the meantime, the four others hack, slash and... magic-lash him to the maximum they are able to, since it cant retaliate yet. The damage are still not much but it's accumulating !

It's like looking at an blockbuster epic movie from up close, except that you will die at the end of the credits. Yeah, i've totally came back to my sense. Seeing them attack back this thing reassured me a lot, we have hopes to win ! I hope.

If it was not distracting for them and potentially a way to have the creature attack me, i would cheer loudly.

Ha. Ho. It finally escaped from the shield.

The two J-warriors immediately disengage from melee and put some distance from the immediate vicinity of the maw. The stone hand from Boobs elf is still holding the worm neck by the middle and Carl is preparing another spell.

The huge worm slowly stand up to take a look - Huu, though he has no eyes ? - at the situation around him, and with a huge wave-movement with his neck, break free from the stone retraining him.

And after that, i absolutely didn't see what happened.

The worm used his own neck and claws as a sort of whip and trashed madly at everything around him, leaving big scars on the floors and on the shield surrounding us - Book girl seem to have totally reformed it in the moment the monster leaved the breach -, and created a huge dust cloud for a good thirty seconds.

I was holding my breath from the tension. Because, franckly, after the attack started, i was immediately thinking the others outside were already a bunch of freshly cutted sashimi.

Fortunately, after the dust settles, i can fortunately see all of them survived. Pfffff... And i'm happy because they are alive, not because they can protect me ! I'm not that much of an asshole !

The two J-warrior were protected by a blue glowing magic shield, casted by J-priest i suppose, meanwhile Boobs girl and Carl were hidden behind a huge stone wall. Well, no, the remnants of a huge stone wall. Even then, they have some wounds all others, especially the J-warriors who were the closest of the "ground zero" attack.

And the worm stand up again to look or whatever at the still living people before him and start clashing his two huge claws together. All the people are preparing themselve to what's follwing next, and the worm open wide his mouth, turn in the direction of the J-warriors and prepare a roar.

- Bragrlgrlgrlblll !

Huuu, well, it sound like a sink who was just unclogged.

Ha no, it was not a roar, he puked a liquid on them, but it was quickly dodged by the two of them. It do not seem like acid, so i suppose it's some poison... and the maw turn to us now.

The shield have an umbrella option ?

He prepare another roargrblbl, but stop before releasing it and quickly turn on himself.

Boobs elf use this moment to cast another spell, to create another stone hand to grab his neck, but it was quicly destroyed while the worm was quickly returning to his "base" behind the line of trees. The same instant, the two J-warrior shouted something and breaked to a run in the same direction.

And on the other side, another trashing occured. Shit, Beastcat...

All the trees were starting to fall.

Especially one, in the direction of the shield i am under.

You remember ? They are giant trees.

Hu, w-what do i do ?

" - Kyle ! Run ! The shielD cant blocK this"

HO SHIT !

I start to run with all i have. And i think i have destroyed Book girl's shield while passing just now, but we will analyze that later, ok ?

" - No ! Run on siDe, not along ! Tree will sTill fall on you "

HOLY SHIT, WHAT THE FUCK I WAS DOING.

I was running on the direction he was dropping !!! HOW CAN I BE SO STUPID LIKE SOME FUCKING ANIMAL LOOKING AT SOME CAR HEADLIGHTSHITFORFUCKSAKEIDESERVEBUTTKICKHOMYFUCKINGODIWILLDIESOSTUPIDLY !!

I take a 90° turn and try to escape the maximum i was able to. In fact, i runned and jumped before the tree crashed on the ground.

...And luckily, i was able to escape !

From the trunk.

Not from the tree branchs.

Outch.

One minute later, i was able to extirpate myself from the leaves and branchs and approched a little to observe the battle still unfolding.

The beast seem to have gone out from a hole on the ground. It was the same worm-neck and claws, but the main body look like a four to five meters crossbreeding of a weird brown and black oppossum for the fur and claw and a porcupine for the one meter spine who were emerging from his back. You terminate that with a long, slender tail who finish in three little others tails and you have your winner for the award of the worst bizarre-looking creature.

Ho yeah, and on the body, they are heads.

Not worms head, but other creatures heads.

They are like tumors protubering from the back of the beast, between the big spines. Some seem to have been crushed by the differents attacks of our party, but at least 5-6 actually remain intacts. The head of a man, of a horse, of a wolf, and i wasn't able to find out what the two other animals are, but they look like zombie head trying to escape from the digestion.

The two J-warriors are now harassing the "worm part" of the beast with the support spells of Boobs elf and J-priest, while Carl is using his ice-machine gun again to randomly attack the back of the main body. Beastcat is attacking this part too, with a big, long spear. He seem to target especially the heads.

- Bzrghzzzz !

Hey, one of the head who was attacked released a spell just now ? Like a little light effect was targeted to were beastcat was. Damn, dont tell me these things are alive too ?! No fuck, seriously ?

- Scratch !

Ho fuck, beastcat was grabbed by the tail and thrown away against a tree stump. And in the same motion, the tail is now slapping in the direction of Carl who was still using his spell !

" - CAAAARL, run aw..."

A strange wind who was coming from beside me cut my words.

Book girl is on the trunk of the fallen tree, mumbling something while extending her hands to the sky above the area of the fight.

As i look in the same direction, i resume my shouting.

" - CAAAAARL, RUN WAY NOOOOW !"

A ten meters spike, formed with ice, crash on the body of the beast and skewer her on the spot.
