The monster tide moved towards the front line unhindered by the trees, mountains or any other obstacles that came in their path.
Hell Ape was moving at the rear end of the army while looking in the distance with its sharp eyes.
The man who was sitting on his shoulders a few days ago already left his side since he won't be taking part in the attack
But hell ape didn't care about him because it doesn't matter to it whether that man help it or not. After all, it has enough confidence in its own strength.
When they were just five minutes away from the front line, an invisible pressure came out from the hell ape's body, pressing down on the marching monster army.
Feeling the terrifying pressure, all the monsters marching forward including A+ rank monsters stopped moving and lowered their heads.
When the monster army stopped the pressure coming out from hell ape's body also disappeared making all the monsters sigh in relief.
The man who was with the hell ape already told it about the formations that hunters created to stop it.
It knew that if it wanted to accomplish its goal, it will have to do something big from the start.
Even if it can't break the formation, it wanted to first reduce the numbers and the morals of the high rank hunters who are standing in the front line.
Even though it wanted to reduce their number the task is not easy, after all, it can clearly feel the auras of two S rank hunters from there.
Yes it is not an easy task to reduce their numbers and morals.
But that is what the hell ape liked about this task!
The hell ape is at the peak of S rank, a monster who is alive for more than two hundred years.
It is someone who can be considered one of the rulers of the wilderness, and the army of thousands of monsters under its command is proof of its undeniable might.
"So what if you are hiding behind those formations, in front of absolute power everything is meaningless" the hell ape muttered as its deep yellow eyes suddenly shined with black lustre.
A large amount of mana burst forth from its body and it looked towards the front line from where it can feel the auras of hunters.
Suddenly its body started to burn with black flames, and it used one of its most powerful skills that it refined over the past two hundred years.
Unique Skill - Hell Flame Eruption!
When hell ape activated the skill, Amanda and Damian felt a very powerful fluctuation of mana.
"Run behind the formation wall" feeling powerful mana fluctuation Amanda and Damian shouted at the same time with panicked expressions on their faces.
Their aura burst forth pushing hunters who were near them behind the wall.
At the same time, all the hunters who were far away from them also tried to move behind the formation wall.
The front line immediately fell into chaos because of the sudden warning.
All the hunters present there were at least A rank so all of them can also feel the powerful mana fluctuations from afar.
But the hell ape already used its skill and before all of them can move behind the formation wall, a tsunami of black flames which was thirty meters high and fifty kilometres wide rushed towards them.
At the same time, the sky turned dark and five huge black volcanoes appeared in the sky.
The diameter of each of the volcanoes was ten kilometres, and they were also covering fifty kilometres of area in total.
"Sh*t" both Damian and Amanda cursed at the same time and rushed forward to stop the tsunami of hell flames to buy some time for the hunters who were backing away.
Never in their dream, they thought that the hell ape will use such a powerful skill even before the fight begin and were caught completely off guard.
This kind of skill can be considered a trump card for anyone, and can save their life in a crucial moment, but the hell ape used it even before the start of the fight.
The sword in Amanda's hand shined with star like light and soon her body was covered in a sharp sword aura.
She swung her sword towards the incoming hell flames sending sharp sword light towards it.
A large amount of mana also burst forth from Damian's body, and soon tens of metal golems emerged from the ground standing in front of the incoming flames.
When the hell flame struck the golem it wasn't able to move forward immediately, but because of its high temperature all the metal golems were destroyed in just two seconds and it continued to move forward.
When his golems were destroyed he summoned them once again trying to buy as much time as he can for other hunters.
But the tsunami of hell flame was fifty kilometres wide, and Amanda and Damian can only stop a portion of its original size.
In other areas the hell flame already caught up with some hunters who were backing away, they all tried to use their skills to stop the hell flames, but a unique skill of an S rank monster who refined it for over two hundred years is not something they can stop easily.
Some A rank hunters were engulfed by hell flames, and even with their high defence, they were not able to handle the high temperature and turned into ashes immediately.
The A+ rank hunters were able to resist the high temperature of flame for some time and retreated behind the wall.
Working together most of the hunters successfully retreated behind the formation wall, but many were gravely injured after escaping.
The tsunami of hell flame struck the formation but wasn't able to break the wall of the formation.
But the faces of the hunters didn't ease up and they continue to retreat because they can saw the volcanos in the sky started to shake.
Damian and Amanda looked up at the volcanos and felt powerful energy fluctuations coming from them.
And the next second, the hell break loose from the sky.
