Chapter 84: Fighting a Rank Chapter 6: Ape
84 Fighting a Rank 6 Ape
"Come!"
"Roar!"
Red furs were covering its body, but there is a black spot. That spot was the place that Alex"s fire arrows exploded. Because of Alex"s tyrannical flame, the normal fire arrows have a big might. The roaring Ape started moving its huge body toward Alex.
Alex already took out his sword, as he wanted to test the power of Sanguin Sword Art Sixth Slash. He was shocked, the ape was already in front of him and swung his big hand toward him.
"Not good" Alex immediately duck in.
"Boom! Cras.h.!.+" with a swing of its hand, a few trees were fallen down.
"This Ape, not only had power with its huge size, but it also had speed"
"Flash Step"
Alex used Flash Step to disappear from the Ape vision using his big hand as a cover. The next he appeared, he was already behind the huge Ape. Alex smirked. He clenched his sword and aimed toward the Ape"s neck, he tried to finish this in one blow. "Sanguin Sword Art, Sixth Slas.h.!.+"
The instant Alex disappeared, the Ape"s instinct sensed something. He swung his other arm toward his back as his body twisted strangely toward the left.
His strike collided with the Ape"s arm, giving the Ape a big cut wound in its left arm. The red-colored blood started gus.h.i.+ng out from the wound.
"Roar!"
Although his first attack failed, there is no change to Alex"s expression. He sent another sword wave flying toward the Ape"s neck. But sadly, The Ape"s eyes already locked onto him, the Ape twisted its body into a weird shape to dodge Alex"s sword wave. Alex finally had a chance to kill the ape. When he just about to send another sword strike. The Ape swung his right hand toward him at a very fast speed. Alex who saw this hand was shocked. With the Ape current weird position, He predicted there will be no incoming fast attack from the Ape.
"Not good"
Because he planned to throw a sword strike, he was in no position to handle the incoming attack.
"Flame Armor"
A Translucent Crystal red-colored flame appeared in his arm. The flame appeared in the form of a s.h.i.+eld connecting to Alex"s arm. The power contained in the flame can make others dread. But to this insane Ape who already reduced to such a state, there will be nothing that scared the Ape. The Ape pounded the flame-made s.h.i.+eld without considering its consequences.
Because of this attack, Alex was blown away. With his current position, Alex crashed into the wall just beside the cave"s entrance.
"Cough"
Bright red blood flow from his mouth. The blow just now, get him a minor internal injury. He wiped the blood in his mouth, He looked toward the Ape. The Ape was not better, the surface of the fist that pounded Alex away was burned, leaving a big pitch-black burned wound in the shape of s.h.i.+eld at the skin.
Alex refraining the use of his fire in this forest. Beside him was a numerous number of trees. If his fire got into a tree, one tree becomes two, two become four and soon enough it will burn the whole forest. His fire was too tyrannical. He can use the fire arrows since he was aiming at the cave. But in this open field surrounded by trees, using his fire would have more harm. He can only fight with Sanguin Sword Art since he used a sword. He also can take out his spear but he left it as his trump card.
The Ape stabilized its form and went toward Alex madly. After the wounds he got from Alex. The Ape berserk. It threw punches after punches at Alex. Although Alex can dodge all this punch, he just can"t find the chance to attack the Ape. After the Ape went to berserk state, its power and speed were doubled. The speed was similar to the rank 7 centipede that Alex had fought back then.
"As expected of the Forest King. Its power and speed were top notch. This speed alone was very similar to the centipede back then. Even though this Ape was very fast. It is like converting its power to speed and converting its speed to power and the problem is he didn"t convert them separately but simultaneously, fusing those two power and giving birth to a stronger force within each atta..."
Alex"s eyes brightened, he muttered. "Converting power to speed, converting speed to power. These two were the first two principles of Sanguin Sword Art. When I used the strike up to the Third Slash, it used the former, and when I used, the Fourth to Sixth Slash. Don"t tell me... the Sanguin Sword Art divided each three slash with a different principle? And the Seventh Slash was using the other principle? That means I was wrong all this time. If it like that, then..."
He looked toward the Ape who still threw punches toward him. He observed each strike that the Ape throw. This strike might be the one he needed to successfully used the Seventh Slash. Alex used his "Flash Step" to the limit, so he can have more time to observe the Ape"s strike. Even though the time difference was very small, for him, it was enough.
Strike after strike, Alex keeps observing. After a few minutes, suddenly the Ape stopped.
"ROAR!"
It was enraged. The reason might because all of his strikes were missed, or other reasons. But because of this Alex saw a big chance.
"Flash Step"
With "Flash Step", he distanced himself with the Ape. He took a long breath as he looked toward the frenzied Ape. "It worth to try"
"Fuu..."
Converting the power in my hand for the sword"s speed. Simultaneously, converting my hand speed to give the sword power. Similar but not the same, with fusing the two principles, giving birth to a new kind of prowess. At the tip of the sword started glowing, The blue colored light started covering the sword"s blade from its tip. Alex raised his sword and swung it down.
"Sanguin Sword Art, Seventh Slas.h.!.+"
The blue-colored glow on the sword transformed into a beautiful but tyrannical blue-colored sword wave. This crescent sword wave might make other creatures dread but to the frenzied rank 6 Ape... The beautiful sword wave flies toward the Ape. It cut all obstacles in its way. The frenzied Ape tried to guard this sword wave with its arms, crossing the two arms in front of his chest.
Alex who released this sword wave was both stunned and astonished. He was shocked by the power contained in the sword wave. With his eyes widened, a wild smirked appeared on his face. He was excited with the sword wave power, the power contained in it was very different than that of the "Sixth Slash". He looked toward the Ape who crossed its arms to block his strike. He shook his head, "The current you, can"t block this sword wave"
When the Sword wave clashed with the Ape"s arms, the sword wave continued to fly through the Ape, Cutting the Ape into two. The sword wave pa.s.sed through the Ape like its cut a pudding. The sword wave continue flying toward the cave wall.
"Boom"
With the collision of the sword wave and the cave wall. It gave a big explosion noise. Both students and teachers were alarmed by this, but because all of them not present, they can only imagine what kind of scene happened. Most of the Students scared, while the teachers alarmed. All rank 7 or above teachers immediately flew toward the scene. When they saw a big cut on the wall, they were stunned and astonished. After all, there are no monsters that can use a sword in this forest. That means it was made by a human. But they never saw any cut like this in the previous year. When they moved their view toward the ground, they saw a big Ape was split to two on the ground. They were too shocked, after all, they know what is this Ape. This Ape was the king of this forest, the rank 6 Ape.
On the other side, they spotted a student, with a sword in his hand as he sheathed the sword back. He looked toward the Ape without saying anything. With the current situation, that means this student had killed a rank 6 monster. This was unprecedented in the academy"s history. There might be some genius that managed to reach rank 5 before graduation, or there might be unparalleled genius that even managed to reach rank 6. But all of them reach that level just before graduation or at least in the third year. They knew who is the student on the ground. He is Alexander, the dean"s student, a second-year student.
The dean slowly walked to the crowd of teachers. Some of the teachers noticed the dean coming, so they looked toward him. Some of the teachers didn"t notice the dean coming because of the scene, so when they saw their colleague turned their look to another direction, they followed and see the dean coming up. The atmosphere becomes tense after all, the scene that just happened was too great. The dean silent for a while then he sighed.
"Sigh...If he practiced that technique in my courtyard, the courtyard wall would be destroyed by him"
"..." Every one of them were speechless with what they heard.
"That"s your problem?" They cursed in their minds.
"Dean Marco, you got an unparalleled genius as your student. Congratulations!" Suddenly one of them started to congratulate him. Find authorized novels in ReadNovelFull，faster updates, better experience，Please click .Com for visiting.
"Yes, The Hero was just trash if compared to him. Congratulations!" One by one started to follow.
"Dean Marco, since your wall might be destroyed. Then he can practice in my courtyard, even he destroyed my walls. It"s fine" One of the teachers said.
"What? Don"t think to poach him from me, you would never succeed on it" The dean snorted.
"Then, he can practice in the student field. That way he can also teach other students"
"If something like that happened, most of the students would have their heart pummeled by him. The brighter the light, the darker the shadow. If my students did that, their heart would unconsciously think him as a limit. "there is no use to train, you won"t be the best as long as you are in the same generation with him, or something like that". Are you going to destroy the students" future?"
"..."
"Let nature take its course. All right, dispersed. There will be a problem if all of you were here for a long time. The students might be in dangers while you are here"
"Yes" All of them then fly toward their previous spot, albeit reluctantly.
