The arrow shot out of Sven's bow and hit the crab at the top left side of its body.
The crab was running towards them sidewards, which was why Sven only managed to hit that part.
When the arrow hit, it exploded into a shower of sand, which covered the crab's top.
Surprisingly, the sand completely stuck to the crab and didn't let go.
And that was it.
Its armor was still intact, and the Sand Arrow didn't slow it at all.
At that moment, the crab reached them.
Sven was safe since he had used the knockback of his arrow to throw his body far away.
Falk was not there.
Lily was also nowhere near the group.
Michael was the only one facing the huge crab.
Michael looked with focus and intensity at the lifting claw of the crab.
He had just used a Spell, and he wouldn't be able to cast an evasive or defensive Spell before the crab hit him.
His life was not in his hands anymore.
BANG!
An explosion of wind suddenly appeared beside Michael, which threw Michael out of the way.
BOOOOOOM!
The claw hit the ground, creating a crater almost 20 meters wide.
Michael rolled on the ground for a while before righting his body again.
"Thanks," Michael said.
Naturally, Falk had saved Michael.
At that moment, five golems with axes reached the crab.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
They all attacked the crab's legs but only managed to leave tiny crevices.
The size of the crevices was akin to an average human on Earth striking a solid concrete wall with a knife.
It barely did anything.
The golems all struck different legs, and the Ore Fiend took note of them.
It lifted several of its legs and tried to step onto them.
Naturally, the golems immediately moved to the side, but one of them didn't make it in time.
CRRRRRK!
The leg pushed the golem to the ground and moved backward, grinding the golem into pieces.
That was when Falk appeared above the crab.
He used all of his abilities to increase his power and attacked the cracks in the crab's armor.
BANG!
His spear went into one of the cracks and buried deep into it.
For just an instant, Falk's eyes widened.
He had seen how little the golems had achieved with their attacks.
Yet, when he attacked these cracks, it was like he was slashing through butter!
Naturally, the Icestone Fiend noticed Falk and a lot of Ice Ether gathered on its back.
Falk's eyes widened.
BANG!
"Move, idiot!" Lily shouted as one of her golem birds rammed Falk.
BOOOM!
Suddenly, gigantic ice spikes came out of the crab's back, destroying the bird Lily used to save Falk.
Luckily, Falk didn't receive a scratch.
Falk rolled on the ground but stood up quickly.
Then, he looked with shock at the distant Lily.
Lily had… saved his life?
He had not expected that!
Lily glanced at Falk with disgust and disdain. "Stay on the sidelines and let the adults handle this!" she shouted.
At that moment, the other four flying golems all launched metallic feathers at the crab's back.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Ice exploded everywhere as the feathers tore through the armor like paper.
Every bird launched three feathers, which meant the Icestone Fiend had just received twelve devastating attacks.
Cubic meters of Icestone scattered across the surroundings as Falk watched in shock.
His own attack had been pretty strong, but his attack couldn't compare to Lily's.
Lily's attack had been devastating, and almost the entire back armor of the crab was gone!
BOOOOM!
An explosion of steam covered the surroundings as a lightning bolt turned one of the claws into a thin straw, taking away one of the crab's weapons.
Because of that, the crab's next attack completely missed, and it quickly spun to get its other claw ready.
At that moment, Sven appeared in the air above the crab, an arrow aimed straight at its back.
Sven shot the arrow and used Spike, making it much heavier and harder.
BOOOOM!
Even more ice exploded off the crab, and its legs buckled under the sheer force of the arrow.
CRACK!
An instant later, the arrow even came out of the bottom of the crab's body!
The crab immediately looked upward at Sven and opened its mouth.
Once more, a ton of Ice Ether gathered on its body.
Sven couldn't evade in the air.
Yet, Sven just threw a calm and evaluating gaze at the distant Lily.
He didn't seem worried.
Before the crab could fire, one of Lily's birds hit Sven, who just casually grabbed it.
BANG!
A gigantic spike of ice shot out of the crab's mouth.
If Sven had still been there, he would have been annihilated by its sheer power.
Fortunately, Lily had saved him, and this time, she didn't even need to sacrifice a golem.
Sven skillfully swung himself onto the back of the bird and readied another arrow.
By now, the crab's attention was completely on Sven and the bird.
The golems that attacked its legs were completely ignored.
The crab readied another spike of ice.
"I think you forgot someone!"
BOOOOOOM!
Kyle's hammer hit the crab's underside, and its entire right side lifted off the ground.
Humongous cracks appeared over its underside and even some of the closer legs.
The crab tilted more and more until it effectively just stood on its extended left legs.
Kyle smirked, jumped up, and swung his hammer again.
BANG!
He hit the underside of the crab's right side again, completely tilting it.
BOOOOM!
A moment later, the crab landed on its back.
It released its ice spike but hit nothing.
BOOOOOM!
A bolt of lightning washed over the crab's underside, leaving a massive crevice.
Kyle jumped up and used Boost to gain some more height.
The crab was flailing and trying its best to get back up.
Then, Kyle angled his body downward and used three Boosts to shoot himself right at the crab.
His body spun with his hammer.
The crab noticed and extended its healthy claw to grab Kyle.
BANG!
Another Spike from Sven cracked the claw and pushed it out of Kyle's way.
The burning form of Kyle's spinning body hit the crab's body.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
Icestone exploded everywhere!
Even more, the crab's left side and right side flew in different directions.
It had lost a lot of mass, and its armor had been weakened by so much that one of Kyle's attacks had been strong enough to break the crab in two!
A moment later, more metallic feathers from the birds attacked the core of the Icestone Golem.
Within a couple of seconds, it died.
Kyle put his hammer over his shoulders.
"Good job, team!" he shouted.
