Rise of the Otherworld.

Zhang Hao charged at the beast once more, his eyes blazing with fury, as if oblivious to the pain in his body. Each step was firm and powerful, sending dust flying from the ground. The woman didn't flinch either. She waved her hands, and magical light like radiant stars shot continuously at the beast. The light flickered in the mist, illuminating her resolute face. Sweat streamed down her cheeks, but it couldn't dampen her resolve.

The herbalist, now bursting with unprecedented courage, brandished his club and shouted, "Come on, beast!" His voice was hoarse but powerful, and his eyes were red with anger. In his hands, the club seemed like a weapon of revenge, carrying all his anger and resentment.

While the old man maintained his healing spells to ensure everyone's injuries were alleviated, he also cast supporting spells to try to weaken the behemoth's power. His hands formed seals rapidly, he muttered something, and beads of sweat fell from his forehead, but his gaze remained firm and focused.

The black-robed man's mana was nearly exhausted, but he still gritted his teeth and desperately unleashed a few last powerful spells. The light from his staff flickered, as if it would go out at any moment, but each spell contained his last glimmer of hope and strength.

The beast, enraged by the attacks, lashed its massive tail furiously, stirring up a gust of wind. Rocks on the ground were swept up and hurled down upon the crowd like cannonballs. "Be careful!" Zhang Hao shouted. His voice was muffled by the gusting wind, yet it carried a warning.

The crowd dodged the flying rocks in a chaotic scene. Some rolled on the ground, others jumped to dodge, everyone trying their best to avoid this deadly attack.

"This won't work. We must find its fatal weakness!" the old man shouted. His voice sharp with anxiety, his eyes quickly scanning the beast.

Zhang Hao dodged the beast's attacks while observing its every move. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, not missing a single detail. Suddenly, he spotted a relatively weak spot on the beast's belly. "Attack its belly!" Zhang Hao roared. His voice was filled with determination and resolve.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attacks towards the beast's belly. The woman's magic rained down on that area, interweaving light into a brilliant curtain of light. The herbalist also struck back with his club, each swing exhausting all his strength.

The beast felt threatened and twisted its body desperately, trying to avoid the attacks. Its movements were violent and ferocious, stirring up gusts of bloody wind.

Zhang Hao took the opportunity to leap up, stabbing the sword in his hand straight into the belly of the beast. His figure flashed through the air like a flash of lightning.

Just as the sword was about to pierce the beast, it suddenly turned, and Zhang Hao's sword only left a shallow wound on its abdomen. "Damn it!" Zhang Hao gritted his teeth. His body fell forward due to inertia, and he almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, the beast opened its maw and unleashed a powerful wave of energy. It surged like a tsunami, carrying with it the power to destroy everything. "Not good!" the old man exclaimed. His face instantly turned pale.

Everyone was struck by this energy wave and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground. Their bodies slid on the ground, leaving deep marks.

"Cough cough..." Zhang Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood. He felt his body was reaching its limit. Every breath was accompanied by piercing pain, and his limbs seemed to have lost all feeling.

"Are we really going to die here?" the woman cried desperately. Her tears mixed with the dust on her face, making her look particularly miserable.

"No, we can't give up!" Zhang Hao stood up with difficulty, "As long as we have a breath left, we still have a chance!" Although his voice was weak, it was full of indomitable will.

Inspired by Zhang Hao's words, the crowd struggled to their feet again, ready for a final, desperate stand. A spark of hope reignited in their eyes, even as they faced an almost invincible enemy...
