The forest illuminated by moonlight appeared mystical and enchanted. The trees stood tall, as it casted long shadows on the ground, while the leaves and branches swayed gently in the cool breeze.
The moonlight filtered through the trees, as it created a soft glow that bathed the forest in silver light. The forest floor was covered with a carpet of leaves that rustled softly as nocturnal animals moved about.
The moonlight accentuated the natural beauty of the forest, highlighting the intricated patterns of the bark and the delicate veins of the leaves. Overall, the forest illuminated by the moonlight was a serene and captivating sight that evoked a sense of wonder and tranquility.
In this dense forest Egon was very tiny and a drop compared to the size of the forest.
The Nightmauler's size couldn't be compared to the vast size of the forest. Which means the Nightmauler is smaller than the huge forest
Egon noticed the Nightmauler was staring in his direction and exclaimed,
"Why do I feel like he's only looking at me?" Fear gripped him as the Nightmauler approached with thundering footsteps.
Mega retorted, "You're the only one with blood in your veins, and you look delicious to be eaten by him, dumbass." Egon turned to Mega and asked, "What do you suggest I do?" Mega moved closer to Egon and replied, "It's time for action."
Suddenly, they both yelled, "RUN!" and took off.
Egon couldn't stay still and began communicating with the system.
"Could you provide any useful features to help me out of this situation?" Egon asked.
[I'm sorry, but I'm not obligated to assist you as a beginner. You must rely on your own thinking.]
Egon was surprised and disgusted,
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" he exclaimed.
As he was running from the Nightmauler's pursuit, Egon felt a sudden impact on his back. He stumbled forward, but quickly regained his footing.
He turned to see the Nightmauler's massive figure moving over him, ready to strike again. Egon braced himself for impact and dodged the Nightmauler's next attack.
"Mega! what about you? Can you run some calculations for me?" Egon yelled as he continued to dodge the Nightmauler's attacks.
Mega nodded in agreement with the system,
"Egon, I'm sorry, but you have to make decisions for yourself if you want to become stronger. The road to strength cannot be relied on others," Mega said.
"Great, now you guys are leaving me alone in this. You'll regret this. I guess I'll have to give the instructions now," Egon replied with a hint of frustration.
The monster pursuing Egon was so massive that the trees in its path crumbled under its weight. As it chased Egon, any creatures in its way were ripped apart by its massive claws, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
With the monster only five feet away, it released its claws towards Egon, attempting to grab his head. Egon quickly ducked and dodged the attack, as if he knew what was coming.
-Arrrrrrrh!
The monster roared in frustration and tried to grab Egon again, but Egon was too quick. He continued to dodge the monster's attacks as he ran through the forest.
Suddenly, Egon felt a surge of power within him. He shouted,
"Activate shape-shifting!" He leapt onto a nearby tree, grabbing onto a branch and flipping through the air to land on another branch, perfectly balanced.
[SHAPE SHIFTING ACTIVATED!]
Egon decided to take advantage of his ability and run on the tree branches. The savage Nightmauler noticed Egon's strategy and decided to follow him by leaping from tree to tree.
(Some of the trees have strong branches which can hold the Nightmauler's weight).
Fortunately for Egon, he was quick and agile. He always jumped to the next tree moments before the previous one collapsed. The Nightmauler was filled with rage and let out a deafening roar.
"MANAFLAME LAUNCHER CREATION NOW!" Egon shouted.
His glasses flew off his face and transformed into a powerful weapon that landed on his shoulder in mid-air.
Despite the weight of the weapon, Egon's movements were not slowed down. He continued leaping from tree to tree, with the Nightmauler in hot pursuit. "Lockdown target," Egon instructed the system hoping for some assistance.
[Sorry, but I can't assist you]
"Nevermind I will do it on my own" He added
Egon didn't know the weak point of the Nightmauler
"I think the head it's the weak point"
He launched himself towards the Nightmauler as he dodged the creature's attacks.
Egon was close to the Nightmauler. It attempted to shake him off, but Egon held on tight, as he wanted to bring it down.
After what seemed like an eternity, Egon was flat in the air, took aim with the Manaflame launcher and fired at the Nightmauler's head. The missile went straight towards its target.
As he was still in the air, Egon ended his strike with
"DEACTIVATE MANAFLAME LAUNCHER!"
and the launcher dematerialized. He then landed on the ground in a squat.
The quietness, smoke, and dim light in the forest made it difficult for Egon to see if the Nightmauler had been defeated.
[The Manaflame launcher has no effect on the Nightma.....] Before the system could tell Egon the creature's gigantic claws launched at Egon's body.
Mega saw the hands coming and shouted,
"Egon! Watch out!" Egon quickly backflipped and landed on the creature's hands.
He ran on the hands of it and went for his head and kicked the head and landed on the ground with a backflip.
"That's for not dying" he told the monsters as he sprinted immediately and continued the race of his life
Egon was quite angry at the device. "Why didn't you tell me about the Nightmauler's weakness?"
[I told you that I can't interfere in most of your battles if you want to grow strong enough to defeat the threat that is coming.]
"Nevermind, I will not ask for your help again."
Egon started racking his brain for his next move.
"If the creature was immune to a missile strike, it would be nearly impossible to defeat the monster"H is mind flashed to all the books he had read. Egon had a photographic memory.
"Yes, I think I will have to use my Abilities."
Egon remembered that the creature his mom had fought was almost similar to the Nightmauler's scale. The laws of Elements state that abilities are transferred from parents to offspring.
"I need to use my Fire abilities. From my immense studies, I remember that Paranormal Fire is quite different from physical flame. So using an Paranormal flame is my only option."
