In fact, without Stelina's reminder, Gaven had already begun to burrow his way out, as he had sensed that something was off with the Carrier Bug—it did not seem to be running but rather falling.
Only then did Gaven remember that this battle was happening atop a tree hundreds of meters high.
He didn't know if the Carrier Bug, realizing it was doomed to die, intended to take him down with it,
or if it had accidentally slipped from the Dragon Scale Oak during its frenzied struggle.
When Stelina pulled Gaven out of the flesh cavity, the Carrier Bug was mere tens of meters from the ground.
Crack!
The Carrier Bug let out an unwilling and desperate scream, unable to even take its damned enemy down with it in death.
Seconds later, a massive boom resonated from the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
As Stelina landed on the ground with Gaven, the Carrier Bug was thoroughly dead.
As it fell, it crashed into a giant tree and was impaled by the not entirely straight massive trunk.
