Anna was still keeping the Evil Chieftain immobilized.
Valerius stomped on its knee in order to stand on its shoulder.
From his previous position, it would've been a struggle to behead it due to the height difference between them. But from this position, it was going to be a piece of cake, or so Valerius thought until he hacked at its neck with his sword for the first time and saw that his sword barely bit into its neck after slicing open its thick scaly skin.
The fat in its neck was hardened to the point where it was nearly as solid as steel!
"Dungeon guardians are really troublesome," Valerius thought as he hacked at the wound he created on the Evil Chieftain's neck again and again, deepening the laceration.
Skree!!!
The more the laceration on its neck deepened, the more the Evil Chieftain resisted until it reached a point where Anna's hands were forced to open.
