The spear disappeared just as quickly as it had appeared and embedded itself into the Mantis' torso.
Nick hurriedly unsummoned it the moment he noticed that it had hit the mark dead on, hoping to hide his action before any of the Radiant Slayers had noticed.
And, like he'd hoped, for a second nobody did notice.
Except for Beast Slayer.
He froze, eyes wide, mid attack, as the Mantis let out a death rattle before it was abruptly cut off after having both its head and throat crushed under Beast Slayer's fists.
It collapsed entirely, crashing back down to the earth like a toppling tree, kicking up a massive plume of dirt and shredded foliage.
Silence ensued.
The surrounding forest had returned to that familiar, eerie silence that accompanied a Radiant Beast's territory.
Nick exhaled, slowly.
Then let out a low chuckle.
'Jackpot!'
[Radiant Beast Wind Mantis Killed.]
[Beast Armament of the Radiant Beast Wind Mantis Acquired.]
