Maya and the others immediately got ready to attack, but Vale hastily stopped them.
Vale reassured everyone. "It's alright. It appears to be a water monster, probably some sort of amoeba. Let me take care of this quickly."
Though the others didn't fully understand what Vale was saying, they watched as he swiftly assessed the situation and moved into action.
With determination and confidence in his eyes, Vale located the core of the monstrous entity. With a wave of his hand, he summoned four old and weary ghostly hands, which materialized to drill through the monster and crush its core.
Crash!
It happened too quickly!
With a resounding splash, the pond monster was vanquished, its existence reduced to nothingness.
Just like that, the path leading to the next challenge lay open before them, beckoning the group to continue their journey through the labyrinth.
