While standing behind the trees and overgrown bushes, Vincent's scrutinizing gaze swept across the field of monsters that were sitting below the cliff, near the stream of water and a few feet away from what seems like an entrance to a cave.
After a few moments, once he had found the strength of each of the monsters by using the appraisal spell matrix, he inclined his face towards his group and said, "I have assessed their strength. There are six rank-7 magical realms and three rank-8 magical realms Grim Gores among them. The rest of them are between the second and fifth ranks of the magical realm."
Vincent's power to correctly discern the strength of more than a dozen beasts in several seconds came as a surprise to the twins, but it amused Varth.
Varth pointed at the group of monsters and said, "This might just be an appetizer. The real deal might be hiding inside the cave with water streaming out of its entrance. We'll need to kill this horde of monsters before the stronger ones come outside if we want to end this safely."
"Got it! We just need to kill them fast." John said, "Am I right?"
Varth blinked his eyes, indicating that he was correct.
"But aren't these creatures feared for their impressive defense?" Leilani said. "How will we kill them in a short time?"
A negative energy barrier protected their body from all type of physical harm all the time, every day
The barrier was thin but solid, able to absorb all damage from the attacks thrown their way. They were proclaimed as the monsters with the best defense in the magical realm due to their negative energy barrier.
However, their defense was far from being perfect as the negative energy barrier could shatter into bits under an attack with strength surpassing what it could endure.
"Although their defense is too strong, as long as we hit them hard in a single place, the negative energy barrier covering that region of their body will shatter, and we will be able to harm them," Varth pointed out the main weakness in the impressive defense of the monster.
"Alright, I got it," Leilani said, understanding that the fastest way to kill them is to hit their vital points again and again until the negative energy barrier shatters, allowing her to end their lives.
"I will take the front with Varth. Leilani, use your abilities and attack them from a range. John, try to deal with every monster that ignores us and charges toward Leilani. Lastly, try to hit where it hurts the most," Vincent said. "With that said, let's begin!"
Vincent and Varth charged out from behind the trees, approaching the group of monsters with strength ranging from rank-1 to rank-9 of the magical realm.
When the monsters resting on the ground listened to the suspicious rustling of the grasses coming from dozens of meters away from camp, they inclined their head to the sides and saw two tall figures in the distance approaching them quickly.
Gah! Goh! Gah!
While screeching like a banshee at the top of their lungs, twelve monsters rushed at Vincent and Varth, who ran towards the monsters without slowing down, a calm expression on their face as they were not dismayed in the face of grotesque monsters.
A few moments later, both of the sides closed upon each other, and at that time, the strongest among the twelve monsters jumped at the two of them with their sharp claws spread wide open, threatening to take their life.
Seeing this, Vincent immediately activated his special ability to manipulate blood and created a weapon made out of the crystallization of his blood.
A scarlet sword appeared in his hand as he infused battle energy with the bones of his arms, increasing the strength behind his swing.
Just as the monsters were about to reach his body, with a jerk of his right hand, the crimson sword flashed forward to take the lives of the monsters in mid-air as he stepped backward.
The crimson sword that was glowing in a red light pierced through the negative energy barrier of the monsters and chopped off the heads of three monsters in a single swing.
Fresh blood was drawn under the moonlight, splashing on the grasses and sliding down from them like morning dew.
‹ You've slain three monsters at the second, third, and fourth rank of the magical realm ›
‹ Gained 90 experience points ›
‹ Level 4: 290/700 ›
"A group of ignorant and unintelligent fools. Courting death!"
Meanwhile, a few of the monsters surrounded Varth, whose long black cloak opened as he took out a battle gun from the holster equipped on his belt before aiming it at the monsters approaching him.
BANG
BANG
Gunshots sounded in the area as he shot at the monsters, knocking two of them backward and severely injuring one after shattering the negative energy barrier around its throat region with two bullets. He moved in a zig-zag manner while taking shots at the monsters.
The first two bullets only managed to shatter their negative energy barrier; however, the third bullet inflicted severe harm to the monster.
He was using a battle gun with special enhanced bullets that could take down regular magical realm monsters and beasts with ease. The bullets were made out of the bones of demonic beasts, so they were able to injure them.
However, each bullet was expensive enough to make a normal person cry tears of blood, but he happily pulled the trigger and shoot as many bullets as he required at the monsters.
"Ice Spears!"
Leilani raised her hands and activated her abilities, manifesting eight icy spears that floated around her. A storm of eight spears swept out and directly crashed on the vital spots of the monsters surrounding Varth and Vincent. The sound of mirrors being shattered rang out through the grassy battlefield as the negative energy barrier protecting the monsters was torn off.
"Thanks!" Varth and Vincent didn't let go of this chance.
The crimson sword mercilessly chopped the defenseless bodies of the monsters and the demonic beast's bullets hit the monsters whose negative energy barrier has shattered and killed them immediately.
