Matthew pointed his wand forward, and vines suddenly sprouted from the ground, binding Dr. Lawrence.
Dr. Lawrence struggled desperately, trying to break free from the vines, but it was useless. He could only watch helplessly as he was dragged before Matthew.
Just then, a howling sound echoed through the ice cave as a gigantic creature swooped down at Matthew from the ceiling.
The creature resembled a bat enlarged dozens of times over. It had skeletal wings that, when spread open, were as gorgeous as butterfly wings, possessing a bizarre beauty.
But Matthew had been prepared. Through Magic Sense, he had long discovered that three awakened monsters were already here.
The Invisible Hand formed a fist and struck fiercely along the creature's flight path, smashing heavily into its abdomen and sending it straight into the icy ceiling.
Bang!
After smashing the monster into the ice wall, Matthew immediately followed up. He raised his wand and pointed it overhead, and the ice wall on the ceiling rapidly expanded as countless sharp icicles grew from it.
This monster was not as tough as the one he had encountered at the base. The icicles growing from the ice wall easily pierced through its body. Blood rained down from above, only to be blocked by an invisible force before it could splash onto Matthew.
However, although this monster lacked scales and had poor surface defenses, its vitality was still extremely tenacious. Even after being pierced through by more than a dozen icicles, it had not died. It continued struggling, nearly tearing the icicles from the ice wall with it.
Seeing this, Matthew activated his wand again.
The icicles embedded in the monster's body rapidly expanded more than tenfold, directly bursting its body apart!
Bang!
The monster's entire body was forced apart by the expanding icicles,
