When they finally went to a clearing with a lot of slimes, the mantis took care of all of them except one who kept trying to grab the mantis with all its might.
Theo commanded the mantis to not do anything to this one. The mantis only looked at Theo with unknown emotions before it started backing off into the tall grass proficiently.
When the slime reached there, the mantis wasn't in the grass anymore. The camouflage was so good that even Theo couldn't see it.
Yet a single look at the place Lucien was staring at made him know the mantis was already coming back toward him.
Theo took a deep breath and took the dagger from Clara again.
He went into the most perfect stance he could muster and, with a little aim toward the confused slime, Theo threw it.
Unexpectedly, Theo did good under pressure, and the dagger hit directly at the slimy body of the beast.
Yet, it was only stuck for a few seconds before it started moving down on the ground from the dense liquid.
