"Boss, I'm here to save you!" Boudica declared, raising her War Halberd and thrusting forward. The weapon penetrated without hesitation. The sensation in her hand was like plunging it into mud; there was some suction when she tried to pull it back, but it wasn't a major hindrance. However, the sticky substance clinging to the halberd sent an involuntary shiver down her spine.
At this moment, she had no time to dwell on it. The instant she withdrew the War Halberd, she put all her strength into a powerful hack. She refused to believe it would be ineffective.
The axe blade of her halberd chopped into the giant cellular mass, stirring it up, but that was the extent of the damage. The gash healed in the next second, doing nothing to halt the creature's relentless advance.
Nevertheless, Boudica's continuous assault drew the attention of the giant cellular body. Amidst its violent shaking, it suddenly split off a large clump that shot toward her like a glob of spit.
