"Gaaaaah—!!!"
Perhaps sensing the threat of death, the half-human, half-centipede monster finally let out a panicked shriek.
Seeing Roxie charging toward it with the dazzling Holy Sword in hand, like a Goddess descending from the heavens, the monster made one last desperate struggle.
"Boom!"
With its body bound by the earth, the monster could only spew Dragon Breath, sending forth its most devastating blast yet. Like a scorching waterfall surging into the sky, it crashed toward Roxie.
Roxie watched the immense Dragon Breath rushing at her, yet remained utterly calm. Not only did she not dodge, she charged straight into it.
"Clang!"
The Holy Sword's radiance spread across Roxie's body.

The monster's shriek came to an abrupt halt.
"Tap!"
