The First Volley, A Successful Preemptive Attack Turning Into a Dangerous Situation

Day 253 - 8:21 AM - Mountainous Crater, Municipality of Viga, Province of Catanduanes

Watching from the northwestern mountains, everyone saw the tree trunk-thick vines quickly making their way up the [Giant Mechid's] enormous body.

The battle had finally started.

Diwata Iraya raised her right hand, signaling the Elementals and Nature Spirits around her to get ready. 

Ordulk, on the other hand, aimed his bow and pulled its string, making the archers under his command follow suit.

Mei also aimed her [Shooting Moon Blade] while Amihan readied to use her magic.

The remaining people remained on standby, clenching their spears.

Nonetheless, no one had fired their weapons yet. While the battle started, it was not yet the signal for them to join in.

Back within the corrupted forest of the crater, Mark saw the vines that began to constrict the [Giane Mechid].

"Chimetrice reached it first."
