"Phantom Claw!" someone shouted from the stands.
The impact triggered a chain reaction. The cracks expanded, and the venom, now more widely distributed through the Stone Lurker's interior, intensified its effect.
Rock fragments began to break off as the monster's structural integrity was irreversibly compromised. The stone surface darkened where the venom made contact, spreading like a network of black veins through the cracks.
Without allowing the momentum to be lost, the team executed a second wave of attacks. The rhinoceros charged again, this time from a different angle, its drill-horn penetrating even deeper. The cobra fired a new load of venom, aiming precisely at the weakened zones.
And Klein, without breaking the paralysis that kept the Stone Lurker defenseless, launched more Phantom Claws, each striking critical points in the monster's structure.
The final collapse was spectacular.
