Forty minutes before Eclipse contacted Evan...
After successfully stopping A+ rank monsters till the formation was repaired, Damian and the other hunters were fighting against them.
Damian was looking at the far distance from time to time from where he can feel powerful energy fluctuations coming occasionally.
That was the place where Amanda was fighting against hell ape.
In their initial plan, two S rank hunters were supposed to fight against hell ape, but after receiving the news that the dark guild would attack on the city, one of the S rank hunters Ron was stationed there and wasn't able to come here.
Damian also can't leave the front line because the numbers of A+ rank monsters were very high compared to hunters, if he leaves the front line to help Amanda, he was afraid that the front line will not be able to hold up.
Swish -!
A sharp sword slash tore through the air and came before the hell ape who was covered in black flames.
Seeing the sword slash, the black flames around hell ape intensified and it punched the incoming sword slash.
Boooommm-!
With a loud booming sound, the sword slash was obliterated into small motes of sword light and scattered in the surroundings.
When those motes of sword light touched the ground, the ground was split open as deep crevices formed there.
Amanda and hell ape were around twenty kilometres away from the front line.
The entire surrounding area around them was completely destroyed. The ground in more than ten kilometres of the area was scorched black because of the destructive hell fire, and deep sword slashes and crevices can be seen everywhere.
Amanda was panting heavily while looking at the hell ape who used its skill to reduce its size to two meters so that it can fight against Amanda more comfortably.
There was a deep frown on Amanda's face and her body was burned in many places.
Compared to her, the breathing of the hell ape was more stable, even though there were many sword wounds all over its body, anyone can tell that Amanda was weaker than the hell ape.
'Just what kind of monster is it?' Amanda can't help but click her tongue in irritation, she faced some S rank monsters in the past, but no one was as strong as the hell ape in front of her.
And from the indifferent expression on its face, she was feeling that it wasn't even trying its best to fight her.
It was more like it is trying to exhaust her and is waiting for something.
After destroying the sword slash, the hell ape looked at Amanda who was panting heavily and its eyes flashed.
"It is time to take the next step" the hell ape muttered in a low voice.
Amanda just saw its lips moving and wasn't able to hear it, but for some reason, her heart tighten.
"Hell prison" Suddenly pillars of black flames shot out from the ground and surrounded both Amanda and the hell ape.
After reaching fifty metres high, all the flame pillars connected with each other enclosing both hell ape and Amanda in a prison that looks like a bar cage.
Seeing the prison Amnada narrowed her eyes. She didn't expect hell ape to use this kind of move.
Because of hell prison, both of them have limited space for moving.
Even though the physical strength of hell ape is far superior to her, she will not be at a disadvantage because of the limited space.
On the contrary, because of the sword aura, she releases all the time, the hell ape will have a hard time dodging her attacks because of limited space.
Seeing the confused expressions on Amanda's face the lips of the hell ape arched upward, and the next second black flames burst forth from its body.
Amanda was about to use her skill to defend against the black flames, but soon she realized the flames were not attacking her.
The black flames that were coming out from the ape's body started to materialize and soon a clone of hell ape appeared beside it.
But even after the clone appeared, the flames coming out from its body didn't stop and more and more flames continue to come out from its body.
In just less than five seconds there were ten clones of hell ape in front of Amanda.
Even though she can feel the power of the clones was just fifty percent of hell ape's original power, she still can't help but feel a sense of crisis.
But the next thing that hell ape did once again surprised her.
Instead of using its clones to attack on her, it rushed towards her leaving its clones behind.
The hell ape arrived before her in an instant and sent a fist towards her, even though Amanda was confused, she still used her sword and slashed at the incoming fist of hell ape.
The sword and fist clashed as the shockwaves swept the area.
Amanda was pushed back because of the impact but did not receive any damage, on the other hand, after clashing against the sword, a deep wound appeared on the arm of the hell ape as the sword aura ravaged its wound.
But the hell ape ignored the injury it received and once again charged towards her.
At this moment Amanda suddenly saw an opening appearing at the other end of the hell prison, and the ten clones summoned by the ape left from there through that opening.
'Sh*t' Seeing the clones leaving from the back, Amanda can't help but curse, and finally understood the hell ape did not summon those clones for her.
She quickly evaded the attack of the hell ape, sword aura burst forth from her body as she slashed at the cage that was enclosing her.
"It is useless" Just as she slashed, she heard the voice of hell ape and the prison bars lit up, the next second, tens of fireballs shot out from the prison bars obliterating her sword slash.
"If you want to leave from here you will have to defeat me first" the hell ape spoke as it looked at Amanda with a smile on its face.
Hearing hell ape Amanda gritted her teeth and watched helplessly as the ten clones of hell ape dashed towards the front line
