"Our team must have noticed this already. That was why they hadn't been locked onto by that giant elephant again."
"If we still want to lure it away, we can make effective use of that."
"Of course, before that, we need to conduct a small experiment."
A few minutes later, the "Dragapult" Dark had released stopped somewhere to the northwest, turned to look at the giant elephant's shadow looming above the mist—and stared at it for a long time.
The earth suddenly trembled, and the sound of pounding drums gradually drew closer.

These Magic Spirits had all gained sentience and possessed a certain degree of power to resist the monsters in the mist.
Some moved alone, while others traveled in groups, continuously advancing northwest. At appropriate locations, they assumed a rearguard stance, gradually luring the giant elephant toward the northwest.
Meanwhile, Professor Kazel used Magic Spirits that had not gained sentience to observe the shadow's location and calculate the giant elephant's precise position.
