BXBX NOVEL Chapter 308 Plan Formulation
Cerberus\'s struggle to get its body out of the mud was made null. What it got itself trapped in, is a sticky wet mud that will just keep dragging its body down into the ground, the further it struggles to want to go up.
Monryck and Theron moved at the same time, each coming from a different direction. When they had almost gotten to Cerberus, they jumped up before their legs could touch the muddy ground and aimed for its head, Monryck taking the left head, and Theron going for the right.
They first landed on the nose, and from there, they walked to where the eyes were located. When they got there, they started throwing their fist in different forms, dealing damage to its eyes.
It had six eyeballs, two on each head. Monryck who is on top of its left head, aimed for both eyes, dealing damage to it one at a time. The same applies to Theron who is pummeling both eyeballs with his fist.
The fire elder was not going to let himself get left out, neither was the wind elder going to watch and wait for Monryck and Theron to do the heavy lifting.
The fire elder and the wind elder simultaneously jumped up, targeting the head of Cerberus located at its center.
When they got down on it, they went for the eyes. One head, two eyeballs split between the two of them.
They attacked it with their elemental powers, the fire elder unleashing all sorts of fire based attacks, and the wind elder mostly making use of her ball of wind attack.
Cerberus was getting attacked on all three heads, and it was helpless to fight against it, with the mud pinning down its body and forcing it to start put.
The gatekeeper of hell got mad, real mad about what it considered as insignificant beings toying around on its head.
In anger, it started releasing its fire from all three heads. Cerberus\'s aim was off by a long shot due to not having full access to all the limbs on its body, but it did not mind that at all.
As long as it keeps on moving, the foothold of those attacking its eyes will be unstable, and that will not make them make proper attacks as they wanted.
The land was getting burnt, destroyed by the flames of Cerberus raining down on it.
They thought of getting off of its head and looking for a way to stop it from the continuous downpour of fire. Doing that, however, would only be giving Cerberus what it wants.
They also do not consider it a good idea to move off of its head, knowing fully well that the gatekeeper of hell is a beast that evolves with every tribulation it is faced with.
The earth elder who is the only one on the ground did something to stop not all, but some of Cerberus\'s attacks.
He manipulated the earth that the fire was falling on and turned its texture moist and soaked like the ground beneath Cerberus.
Doing that would not completely put off the flame, but it would be able to keep it under wrap and stop it from spreading any further.
"I sure wish the Rofir elder was here. With her by my side, we could get the fire fully under control". The earth elder grumbled internally, making sure to not lose focus of what is in sight.
His wish for the water elder to be by his side is associated with her ability to manipulate the element of water.
By combining their earth element and water element, there is much that could be done by them, so much power to be exerted, giving them a chance to stand up to Cerberus\'s flame.
The earth elder knows better than to continue to brood and fantasize over his assumptions. Merely taking away his focus concerning how he is dealing with the rain of fire, could lead to catastrophic outcomes for the nation.
"We can\'t just keep punching at it, we have to do something to stop it from breathing out its fire". The fire elder suggested out loud.
His palm clenched on the curve part of Cerberus\'s nostril, and he did that to prevent his body from falling over the unstable Cerberus\'s head.
The fire elder was not the only one that resorted to such actions. The same thing applies to Monryck, Theron, and the wind elder.
"There is not much else we can do against it. Not only is its skin too tough to have our attacks go through, but it is also a beast that adapts well to an attack it is exposed to once". The wind elder replied to the fire elder.
The content of her reply was carried to where Monryck and Theron were. They are all in this together, it is only right that they formulate their plans under the influence of what they can each offer.
"The only part of it that can be considered a weak spot is its eyes. That is why we have to hold on tight and wait for it to calm down". She added, applying more force to her hold on its nostril.
All of Cerberus\'s skin before the naked eye is presented as a tough-skinned body, hardened to even the tiniest needle that seeks to penetrate through it.
All, except for its eyes. Not that it is presented as soft and easy to penetrate, no, that is not the case. The fact that their attacks have so far not been able to deal real damage to its eyes, is a sign of how tough it is.
However, in comparison to any other parts of its body, it would be a fool\'s errand to not go for its eyes. They believe that as long as the damage is continuously dealt to the eyesight, they will eventually crack all its defenses and gain access to the inner part of its eyes.
"What is that". While he was holding on tight to Cerberus\'s skin, Theron\'s head tilted upward, and there he saw it.
