From MC's perspective:
Michael shot another golden strike. This time the shot penetrated deep into the monster's neck. After a couple of seconds, a massive head fell to the ground.
Tud!
Seeing the fallen head, Laverne said with joy," Our luck is not bad. We came across this class-5 monster right after our appearance."
Ernest Kirk smiled and said, "And I doubt there will be other boar monsters nearby."
Hearing their friendly conversation. My mood becomes light. One thing I'm sure of is that their teamwork is perfect. They have killed this monster in a short time.
After gaining some clarity, I sighed to myself. I feel like I'm starting all over. Then I see Michael digging up the monster core. After placing the monster core in his storage ring.
Michael began to dissect the monster's body using his golden light power. The process was over in a blink of an eye. I see many dissected pieces arranged properly within minutes.
After a few minutes, we resumed our journey again. Looking at them, I feel I'm not much of use here. But I know if I combine the blood element and the lightning element. I'm capable of fighting across ranks.
When the group came to the open space, everyone stopped moving. Because there were several footprints across the open space.
"Look these footprints belong to a boar monster," Ernest pointed his fingers at the footprint.
A strange glint flashes in my eyes. If it's one against three, they can kill monsters easily. But what about the group?
Before I could think of anything else. I heard another roar. This time not one but multiple roars.
"Zack, stay back. A herd is coming here," Michael shouted in a high-pitched voice.
Hearing that not only his, everyone's expression changes drastically.
"Fck!" I cursed out loud in my mind.
I have just guessed a moment ago. Now the situation turned out to be true. Right after everyone retreats backward.
Michael, Ernest, and Laverne formed a group.
Shortly after,
"Thick Skulled Violent Boar - Class 5 Monster"
Two massive monsters rushed toward us. Michael confronts the first monster alone. Ernest and Laverne took charge of confronting another monster.
Seeing the scene, I stood in a daze. I don't want to be a spectator.
The next moment, I drew a black sword from my storage ring. It's been so long since I have used my lightning technique. A surge of heat appeared in my heart.
The next second, I pour an immense amount of lightning essence into the black sword. The purple energy appeared with a crackling sound. In a blink of an eye, the black blade flickered with a bright purple glow.
Seeing that my mouth curved into an arc.
Next, I grabbed the black sword tightly and pointed at the boar monster.
"Sword Divide," I uttered.
The next second, a massive lightning beam shot at the monster. In a blink of an eye, the beam reaches the monster's eye.
The purple beam was so blinding to the eye. That even attracted the attention of others.
"What is that? Ernest cried out in surprise.
Before he could finish his words. The purple beam hit the eye of the monster.
Roar!
The boar monster let out a scream in agonizing pain. Using this opportunity, Ernest used his soil element to make the ground unstable again.
Laverne also recovered from her shock. She quickly uses her ice element to lock the monster.
The 1st boar monster was riddled with holes. Drops of blood were oozing out of it. Seeing that the monster has lost the strength to retaliate back.
Michael shifted his attention to the 2nd monster.
Meanwhile, I rushed forward. When I got closer, a massive aura locked my presence. It all happened in the blink of an eye. I couldn't even move my body an inch. When I looked at the monster. The monster's blood-red eyes looked at me.
Feeling the gaze, I broke out in cold sweat.
Unknowingly, I ran a blood element in my body. All of a sudden, an invisible aura appeared to me and it broke away from the influence of the monster's aura.
When the lock disappeared. I retreated backward immediately.
Michael Quickie saw the scene. He said, "Zack, you retreat backward. I will take care of the monster."
By that time he had already solved the 2nd monster and appeared in front of the 1st monster.
Again he stretched his hand, and a golden light shot at the monster. In a blink of an eye, multiple golden beams shot at the monster.
In a blink of an eye, the monster's body was again riddled with many holes. This time the monster was pushed to the verge of death.
A few seconds later,
Tud!
Monster's body dropped dead after losing the final breath.
Seeing that Michael sighed in relief. Then he turned toward me and asked, "Are you okay?"
At the same time, I loosened the grip slightly.
Looking at Michael, I replied, "I'm fine. " But my heart is not calm at all. A hard cold fact lies before me.
I couldn't even get near the class-5 monster. What's so different about the monster? Unlike other monsters in low-tier cities. The monsters here were filled with so much savage aura.
Which even blocked me from getting near.
Meanwhile, Michael began to dissect the monster again. Ernest is providing protection. He is using soil elements on the ground to sense the vibration.
If any monster comes in his direction, he would get an instant response. Laverne took an ice affinity stone to recover her essence. But suddenly she caught the expression of Zack.
Seeing him looking down. She asked out of concern, "Zack, are you alright?"
Hearing that, I returned to reality. I looked at her and replied, "Ahem, I'm a little bit surprised. The monster's defense was too strong."
Laverne's eyes flickered with a slight glint. She understands Zack's situation. Zack is from a small town. So the environment here is challenging for him.
The monsters living in low-tier cities were not comparable to the monsters here. Before she could speak.
Michael opened his mouth to say, "Zack, you are being restless. Just take your time to adapt. The world energy here is many times purer and higher than lower regions."
"And there is no control over the monster's population. This place is comparable to real wilderness. Only the survival of the fittest works here. So the monsters around here are more brutal and bloodthirsty."
"Besides, it's not easy to fight against a Class-5 Monster being in Elite level," Michael added.
Hearing his explanation, a look of understanding dawned upon me.
I'm thinking too much. This place is new to me. As he is sad, I should first adapt to the environment.
"Here, take this monster core. It's our meeting gift," Saying that, Michael threw the monster core at me.
"This?" I caught the monster's core and looked at him in surprise.
"Hey, take it. We are not short of monster cores," Laverne added further.
I see Ernest raising thumbs-up as well.
Seeing that, I sighed inwardly and accepted the monster core.
Several minutes later,
We resumed our journey. The team needs one more monster core before completing the mission.
Soon we came across another monster. This time it was the bull.
"Mad Horn Bull - Class 5 Monster"
This time the team became even more vigilant. I stopped moving and stood behind the team. A trace of complex emotions flashes in my eyes.
I haven't seen a single Class-4 Monster yet.
But the Class-5 Monsters are popping up all of a sudden. I couldn't help but feel vexed.
The Mad Bull noticed the presence of a few ants. Smelling a familiar scent, hot air gushed out of the bull's nostrils.
It immediately lowered its head to rush forward. The Bull's horns were sharp as a knife. One hit from the horn can cause severe injury to anyone.
Ernest moved forward quickly. He immediately manipulated stable ground. "Laverne, target monster's eyes," Michael shouted before attacking the monster using golden light.
Meanwhile, I gripped my sword tightly and waited for the perfect opportunity to support me.
As far as I know, the bull monster has thick skin and the defense is even stronger than the boar monster.
The golden light beam penetrated the monster's body. But this time the injury was not much deeper. Seeing that Michael shot multiple golden beams toward the monster.
The Bull Monster's legs were trapped in muddy sand. All thanks to Ernest's quick soil manipulation. Because of it, the monster's speed slowed down drastically.
Meanwhile, Laverne targeted the weakest part of the monster using the ice element. The combination of their attack was so perfect. That the monster finds it difficult to free itself.
Seeing that the monster got locked. Michael shot multiple golden beams in a blink of an eye. The injury on the monster's body starts to get deeper.
In the blink of an eye, several wounds appeared on the monster's body. The Bull starts to realize its current situation. If the situation continues further, it will lose its life.
The next moment, the monster's eyes turned blood red.
Michael's expression changes drastically. "Be careful, the monster is going berserk," Michael shouted in a high-pitched tone.
