One precise move, and a swift step, Elaina cut the defenseless Maw of Stones to shreds. She was expecting it to be like slicing something hard, considering that it was inside Mythril rocks and had been eating and making its armor strong enough.

Well, wrong. The Maw of Stones seems to be unable to extend its upgrading capabilities to its body. It can only enhance its "armor" and make it more durable. Even if it eats a lot of minerals, once its "armor" is gone, it will remain vulnerable.
"I see now. No wonder it has a very high defense. Once that defense is gone, it dies too quickly due to its vulnerable body," the Village Chief commented as he approached the dead body of the Maw of Stones.
"Does this mean the Maw of Stones was essentially just a worm inside a stone?" Elaina frowned as she turned her gaze over the carcass once more.
