Kael's mind went blank for a brief moment.
The anticipated excruciating pain of his skull shattering did not occur.
Instead, his mask was splattered with a layer of scorching, sticky, foul-smelling liquid.
Meanwhile, the other three members of the squad widened their eyes and watched clearly.
They saw a rusty steel pipe pierce through the gaping jaw of the Crawling Beast from behind, as if it was a heavy crossbow firing an armor-piercing spear.
The hard bones and thick scales were rendered useless in the face of this violent kinetic force.
Dark red blood mixed with shattered bones exploded in front of everyone's eyes.
The massive impact launched the half-ton Mutant Beast airborne in an instant.
Its large body flew backward seven or eight meters away.
Finally, with a thunderous crash, it was pinned firmly to the mottled concrete wall by the rusty steel pipe.
