From MC's perspective:
The purple-black scorpion again dashes toward me. Seeing that I pointed my finger at the monster. A purple ball forms at the tip of my finger in a blink of an eye.
"Lightning finger technique"
Then I released the lightning finger technique. The power beam was released from the finger and shot at the target at breakneck speed.
The monster senses the danger. But it was too late to avoid the attack.
Boom~
A terrible sound is heard as the attack collides with the monster. The lightning beam pierces through the side of the body.
At the same time, the monster stopped its movements abruptly. The attack from the two of us has already injured the monster deeply.
Using this opportunity, Ernest Kirk made the finishing move. The head of the monster was crushed under the bombardment of heavy boulders.
Seeing that my eyes flickered. I thought that the boulder attack was the signature move of earth-element warriors. But Ernest can recreate the same effortlessly.
"Let's go, the commotion will attract other monsters," Ernest Kirk said with a smile. His earlier gloominess completely disappeared.
Meanwhile, I used my perceptual ability. My senses already picked up the few red dots near us.
If they come closer, I can get a clear image of the monster.
"Collect the monster core," I said to Ernest.
Ernest nodded at me before starting to work on it. After a couple of seconds, I saw the appearance of the monster in my mind.
"Worm monster?" I uttered in surprise. No, this appears to be different. Is it a mutation?
The worm monster brings back old memories. These monsters are hard to deal with.
Ernest heard Zack's murmuring. Then he speedily began to dissect the parts.
A few distance away from them, a razor-sharp red worm monster appears above the surface. The monster already spotted its prey.
In the next second, it began to move its gigantic body toward the prey. The whole body is moving in a zigzag manner.
On the other hand, a few other monsters are moving toward the location. But after seeing the worm monster they backed away immediately.
Meanwhile,
"Here it is," Ernest Kirk said, collecting the monster core from the scorpion monster.
Hearing that I replied, "It's too late to move now. We need to tackle this one."
When I finished uttering those words. The razor-sharp tooth red worm appeared before us.
Unlike the other worm monsters, this one is strangely neat. No ugly fluids were secreting in its body. Instead, the body was protected with hard scales.
"Looks like we entered the experimental monster zone," Ernest said in a solemn tone.
Hearing that my eyes flickered.
"Do you mean this one is a product of the lab?" I asked back.
"Yes, it's born from the lab"
"Also it's a waste to kill this monster. Because its monster core is not useful to us," Ernest replied.
By that time the worm monster had already gotten closer to us.
"Alright, let's injure it before walking away," After saying that, I raised my sword to attack.
I charged the black sword with purple essence. After a few seconds, I discharged the powerful beam from the sword.
Thunder~
A thundering sound was heard as the purple beam released from the sword.
Behind me, several boulders shot at the worm monster targeting the wide mouth.
Boom~
The lightning beam attack hits the target. Right after a small explosion occurs in its mouth. The worm monster is wailing in pain.
But the next moment, many boulders enter the worm monster's mouth one by one. Instead of getting attacked, the heavy boulders were swallowed up by the monster.
Seeing that my eyes flickered. Ernest's attack was ineffective against the worm monster.
"I have told you that lab-bred monsters are difficult to kill. Let's head into the woods," Ernest Kirk said.
Hearing that both of us started rushing toward the green vegetation. The worm monster was not in a condition to chase us. So we started to flee.
After a few minutes of running, we came to the shade tree.
"Why can't we fly?" I asked. If we used our flight ability, then we would have gotten here sooner.
But Ernest made strong objections to that.
"Since we know it's an experimental monster zone. Do you think there are only worms here?"
"It won't be surprising to come across lab-bred falcons," Ernest said.
Hearing that I nodded my head in understanding. "Then we have no choice other than to look for natural monsters," I commented.
The Giant shade tree provides good protection. It's hard for any flying monsters to approach us.
"Zack, when did you replenish your lightning essence?" Ernest asked.
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm A quick glint flashes in my eyes. I remember they didn't know about the uneven mountain.
"I have told you before. The dean has found a place for me. Where climatic conditions favor natural thunder and lightning," I answered.
"I remember now."
"But Zack, sorry for asking this"
"Will you fight Michael?"
Ernest Kirk asked.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. I turned toward Ernest and observed his expression. Michael, that guy is a Super Elite Warrior. Probably a Peak stage one.
My body strength is at Initial Super Elite. And my essence is at Peak Elite. Even if I can't kill him, I can injure him gravely.
But Ernest doesn't know that.
Does he think I can win against him? I furrowed my eyebrows.
Then I replied, "He is a Super Elite Warrior. That too a Special Element user. I never thought of this before."
"But if there is any situation in the future, I will fight him," I said.
Ernest was relieved hearing that. He doesn't know what Zack will do in the future. Since he had helped Laverne, there was no distrust anymore.
At the same time, I sighed inwardly. For so long, Ernest and Laverne are overshadowed by Michael's presence.
Now they are finding it difficult to accept the reality.
Then we rested for a few minutes before starting to search for the next monster.
Soon we came across the wild boar monster. Which was predominantly seen in the monster zones. Though the boar monsters are at the Class-4 stage.
But still, their monster cores are useful for cultivation. So we started to chase monsters.
Two of us got separated and started to chase boar monsters. They started to flee after sensing the danger from us.
"Phantom lightning technique," I uttered.
The purple arcs quickly covered my legs. The next moment, I disappeared from the spot and started moving toward the target at lightning speed.
In a blink of an eye, I arrived before the monster.
Seeing the monster, I didn't stop. Rather, I raised my fist to punch the boar monster in the head.
"Blood Fist"
The blood energy quickly gathers around my fist within seconds. When the punch lands, it hits the monster's head.
Pfff~
The head burst into pieces like a watermelon. The body dropped dead on the ground. Seeing that I started using the black swords to dissect the parts.
Fortunately, Ernest was not here. Otherwise, he would have been shocked to the core. When I was slowly dissecting the monster's body.
Green vine roots began to wrap around my legs. The speed was so fast that it took me a moment to realize.
Cut~
I swung the sword and made a direct cut. The vine roots are divided into pieces. Seeing that I moved from the spot and located the monster.
"Plant Monster," I mumbled under my breath. There was a parasitic plant monster a few steps away from me.
Seeing that my eyes flickered. I should have used my perception before. This was a careless move.
Removing these thoughts, then I started to remove the monster core. The plant monster didn't plan on disturbing me again.
It will soon find another prey. Then after collecting the monster core. I placed the dissected parts in the container.
When I started to walk out of this place.
I encountered the razor-sharp red worm monster again. The damaged mouth part is still visible.
The worm monster spewed venomous liquid toward me.
"Fast," I muttered before using the lightning technique to retreat backward.
The venomous liquid like a flood gate has opened and it quickly covered the ground including the parasitic plant monster.
Which immediately died upon contacting the venomous liquid.
Scorch~
The small green patches decayed quickly under the attack.
"Sword Divide"
I made another lightning sword attack. The purple sword beam again shot at the monster. The lightning attack again hits the mouth part.
This time the injury was severe. I can see the torn and damaged flashes in its mouth.
The next moment, several sharp earth spikes appeared.
"Ernest," I muttered. This guy has made a timely return.
Last time, the monster completely swallowed the boulders. But this time it's difficult to remain unscathed from the sharp spikes.
The mouth of the worm monster is especially a huge weakness.
Pfff~
The spikes pierce through the flesh. And causing the monster to wail in pain again.
"It worked out," I gave an appreciative look.
Then we left the spot but the monster didn't follow us back.
