Chapter 393
Perhaps, somewhere deep inside the leathery hide and muscle bound physique, there still exists the person Garralosh was before she came here . Maybe I can shock her with an image, or sensation . It's been a heck of a long time since she came here, but it might get some response . If it distracts her for a couple of seconds, I'll be happy!
So as the mountain-like Crocodile prepared to charge me once more, I spun together the first sensation I could think of from my past life on Earth . Ice Cream . It's pretty universal, right? It's possible she never ate it, but maybe she saw it at least, or was aware of it . I gotta try something!
Dash!
Rumbling with anger, Garralosh dashed toward me her enormous jaws wide open to snap down on me . Those are some serious jaws! I swear she could snap a megalodon in half with one bite . Thanks to my antennae, and her avenue of attack being completely predictable, I manage to dash to one side . Sadly, I lose my balance due to not having all of my legs .
Yikes!
Quick! Hit her with the Ice Cream! My minds slam the prepared stimuli across the mind bridge and hammer it into that raging mind . The cold sensation on the tongue, the creamy rich texture, the curled sphere of a scoop . Every aspect of ice cream I could think of I bundled together and threw it at her .
And she froze .
NICE!
Dash! With Vibrant tailing behind me, I dash on an angle to try and get behind the beast . Anything to get me away from that mouth! Come on leg, how much longer! I can see the flesh extending down, the claw beginning to form at the end at a ridiculous speed . It itches like mad, but not nearly as terrible as mutating . A few more seconds and I'll be good to go!
But wait . She's still not moving? This could be a chance! A few moments have passed and Garralosh is still frozen in place, perfectly still . Since I'm this close, I might as well get a quick chomp in! I change the direction of my dash to bring me a little closer to her body and position myself near the base of her tail .
Omen Chomp!
Once more, my stamina drains precipitously and the dark mandibles of energy manifest themselves to tear into Garralosh's body .
CRUNCH!
And once more a wound is struck! Her scales are so thick that even with my extended mandibles, I can barely reach through them to the muscle beneath, but reach it I do . With a satisfying tear, I can see the damage has been done and immediately sprint away to get more distance .
GROOOOWWWL!
My bite has snapped Garralosh from her reverie, and she turns toward me, a glowing ball of raging fire in Crocodile shape . Luckily I have a few things going for me at this point . One, my leg has been reformed, and second, I have a new mental package to send her .
The speed at which my brains can weave this stuff together is truly incredible . Evolutionary energy well spent! All around us I see the battlefield had come to a complete stop . The Croca-Beasts in all their forms remain poised away from the wall . Growling they snap their jaws and flex their claws as they watch their mother fight . Hundreds of them stand together in this way, an intimidating sight, to say the least .
On the ant side, they have poked their heads up and I can see thousands of them staring down at me as I fight . Are any of them going to come down for the Queen?! Actually, what the heck is happening to the Queen?! I can barely see her now, it appears as if she's sinking into the ground! Oh, they're digging underneath her! Smart . She's already more than half underground at this point, a minute or two more and they'll be able to drag her deeper into the Dungeon to recharge her energy .
