247 Another Battle <1>
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Screams filled the air.
The chaos was even more than yesterday as the ground collapsed and brought along everything on top of it.
Kate watched the rank 7 giant mutated snake that appeared near her with dumbfounded expression. She had just cured three soldiers and walked out because she felt a bit suspicious of these soldiers’ injury.
She only suppressed their injuries for the time being.
Her plan was simply to ask Mr. Yuri about them more.
But the moment she walked out, what greeted her was the sight of the rank 7 giant mutated snake standing in front of them.
“Stay back, Kate!” Lucy yelled and warned Kate. She readied her stance and looked at the large rank 7 giant mutated snake in front of her, feeling nervous.
She’s only rank 5, one rank lower than Kate and two ranks lower than this rank 7 giant mutated snake. The difference in rank represented their limit to use their abilities and the effect that came with it.
.....
It was clearly impossible for her to truly be a match of this rank 7 giant mutated snake.
But she couldn’t back down!
“I’ll restrain it!” Yuri yelled when he saw the rank 7 giant mutated snake approaching them. “What are those below doing?”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Metal moved in accordance to Yuri’s order, restraining the rank 7 giant mutated snake effectively. The other awakened around the area were trying their best to gather themselves from the sudden earthquake made by this rank 7 giant mutated snake.
The moment they saw the rank 7 giant mutated snake, they also began trying to contribute to restrain the rank 7 giant mutated snake’s movement.
Should the rank 7 giant mutated snake headed towards the city, the people would be in danger.
They couldn’t let it happen.
“That damned snake escaped!” There was a yell from below.
The three groups of people who were below seemed to still be able to move around. It was unknown how their state was after fighting against the two rank 7 giant mutated snakes not long ago.
“Can you come up to help?” Yuri asked, controlling the metal to weave a net and restrained the rank 7 giant mutated snake’s movement.
He could restrain the rank 7 giant mutated snake effectively, but if he kept this on, he wouldn’t be able to attack it. After all, his focus would be to control the rank 7 giant mutated snake’s movement.
It was taking too much of his concentration and ability.
Swish!
Vines appeared from below and Kent climbed up. His appearance was a mess, but he was not injured in the slightest bit. “The others are in various state of burial. They might not be able to come up.”
Yuri frowned. “What about the other rank 7 giant mutated snake?”
“It’s dead.”
With the cooperation of three rank 6 awakened, they managed to somehow trapped one of the rank 7 giant mutated snakes and killed it. However, the other one managed to escape and they were already too tired after dealing with one of them.
“Good, it means only one rank 7 giant mutated snake is left.”
“Ah, the other one is dead too?” Kent was pleasantly surprised. He thought that since there were only two rank 6 awakened who were dealing with that rank 7 giant mutated snake, they might not be able to deal with it yet.
“They had just cheered before this earthquake from this rank 7 giant mutated snake happened.”
“Is it also earth element?” Kate asked, interrupting their talk.
“It seems so.”
Swish!
The metal nets were weaving around the rank 7 giant mutated snake, preventing it from moving around.
However, it was not strong and all Yuri could do was to prevent the rank 7 giant mutated snake from heading towards the already broken down city. The buildings were exposed due to the sudden downfall of the ground.
It was unknown how many people were trapped below the ruins by now.
Thankfully, City H was not completely destroyed.
It was only a part of it.
Still, should giant mutated animals come and attacked them, they might not be able to hold on for long. They had to rebuild the wall as fast as possible to be able to block the attacks from these giant mutated animals.
But before that…
They had to deal with this rank 7 giant mutated snake.
“Stay back and heal us if necessary.” Kent jumped to a relatively stable area and looked at the rank 7 giant mutated snake at the distance. His eyes narrowed slightly. “It might be a bit harder to deal with since it can control the earth. How about switching the task, Mr. Yuri?”
“You control and I attack.”
“Deal.”
Swish!
Vines of various thickness sprang out from the ground. It was unknown when Kent spread these seeds, but it was proven to be useful. These vines grew up quickly under the urge of the wood element power and headed towards the rank 7 giant mutated snake not far from them.
“Hiss!”
The snake hissed and the rocks all around the area moved in accordance to its control.
Bang! Bang!
Clashing against the vines, the rank 7 giant mutated snake effectively stopped Kent’s attempt to get closer and restrained it.
“It’s getting smarter again,” Kent said in frustration.
When they were fighting below, they were also shocked when they saw that these rank 7 giant mutated snakes could learn their way of attacking. It was as if they were all newborn who had only came into contact with the proper element abilities and used it to attack.
But the problem was that their degree of control and power became extremely strong very quickly.
They couldn’t deal with these rank 7 giant mutated snake easily.
“Hiss!” The snake kept on hissing and moving, avoiding the area where Kent had already grown the vines.
Kent’s eyes narrowed and quickly used his wood abilities and grew more plants to restrain the rank 7 giant mutated snake.
“We’re in ruins. This is the rank 7 giant mutated snake’s territory. Lure him away from the ruins first.” Yuri pointed towards the plains at the side.
“Got it.” Kent nodded and continued his control.
