They all tried attacking the beetle with their aura blades, but as expected, its massive legs were too hard to be affected. The lightning strikes Sam unleashed managed to halt it for a few seconds, but there was no lasting damage. Its head was a weaker spot compared to the rest of its shell, but the two giant front legs never let anyone come close.
Lucian attempted to freeze one of its legs, and it worked momentarily, but the sheer force of the creature shattered the ice, setting it free once again. They had to keep moving around its massive body as it continuously spewed acidic liquid at them from its mouth. It also had an attack that shook the ground and a spell that emanated intense heat, making the air around it dry and suffocating. But thanks to the potion's effects, they could endure it. Without the potions, this monster would have been nearly impossible to deal with—no one would have been able to get near it without burning their skin.
