Chapter 229 Killing the Four Arm Troll
Roar!
Bryan jumped in the air as he raised both of his hands above his head. He gathered his mana above and a huge ball of flames formed.
"Eat this!!" He roared and threw the huge ball of flames towards the group of monsters.
Swoos.h.!.+
The ball of flames landed on the ground and it caused a huge explosion that burned everything within thirty feet diameters.
Brando and Lumilia covered their eyes using their hands as the hot wind swept out in the surrounding area.
"There"s a lot of monsters!" Brando complained as he brought down his huge s.h.i.+eld in front of him. This s.h.i.+eld was a purple grade weapon that he bought using the money he got from selling the carca.s.s of the third evolution monster.
"We need to hide... We couldn"t exterminate all these monsters with just the three of us." Lumilia said while looking at the countless monsters in front of them.
They were clearing the low-level dungeons one by one and after they clear the last dungeon, they saw a huge group of monsters outside the dungeons. It felt like those monsters were running away from something more terrifying deep in the Forest of Eternal Light.
Ordinary monsters, first evolution monsters, and second evolution monsters were present all over the place. They had enormous numbers and Lumilia thought that this was a monster tide.
That"s right a monster tide but there were three levels of monster tide. The disaster level, the calamity level, and lastly the catastrophe level monster tide.
The disaster level monster tide consisted of monster of level 1 - 40. The strongest monster was level 40 a monster that has just reached the third evolution stage. A monster that has a monster orb and could use the best feram. It was a disaster. That"s why they called this disaster level monster tide.
But there"s no third evolution monster in this group. It means that this monster tide wasn"t a threat to any city out in the world. They could easily repel this monster tide. Lumilia felt lucky that there"s no third evolution monster or else they wouldn"t be able to last this long.
"Let"s go back to the dungeon and close the entrance," Brando said as he slowly stepped back while repelling the monsters that pounced at them.
"Bryan! I"m counting on your firepower! Shoot a powerful spell!" Lumilia shouted towards Bryan. A magic circle appeared on her feet and two giant serpents made of water formed above her. The serpents attack the nearest monsters.
Boom! Boom!
The monsters keep coming at them nonstop. There"s no use in fighting all of then. That"s what Lumilia decided.
"Got it." Bryan nodded as he threw a punch at the monster in front of him. After that, he lifted his feet and kicked another monster.
Bang! Bang!
Lightning crackled in Bryan"s left hand while flames coated his right hand.
"Let"s do this..." Bryan grinned as his mana rose to its limit.
On the other side...
Alice, Yujin, and Lynn were experiencing the same thing. They were fighting countless monsters that appeared out of nowhere. They didn"t know what happened to cause such disturbance in the Forest of Eternal Light.
Alice was killing monsters left and right. She couldn"t count how many monsters she slay this time. And that"s the same for Yujin.
Both of them were slaying monsters like a madman to protect Lynn. Lynn was also casting all the spells that she knew. Her role wasn"t to fight the monsters but to support Alice and Yujin.
"d.a.m.n! There"s no end if we keep fighting like this!" Alice said as she glanced at Yujin.
"Yeah, we need to fall back and find a safe place!" Yujin nodded at her words as he slashed the monster in front of her using his sword. It was useless even if he used his spirit power. He would only waste his stamina if he did that.
Even with his full power, he wouldn"t be able to annihilate all these monsters that kept coming at them.
"...but where do we find a safe place here?" Lynn asked with a tired look. Her mana was decreasing at a very fast speed. She could also sense that the number of monsters here was more than one thousand.
"...dungeon," Alice muttered as she thrust her spear in front of her and pierced the body of two monsters.
"Yes, we should go back inside the dungeon and sealed the entrance." Yujin nodded and he used a powerful combat arts to kill the group of monsters in front of him.
Their idea was the same as Lumilia"s idea. The only safe place here was inside the dungeons. Even if that dungeon has monsters inside it they didn"t have a problem with it. As long as it was a low-level dungeon then it would be a safe place for them. They could just exterminate all the monsters inside the low-level dungeons.
...
Putchi!
A small hole appeared at the chest of the four arm troll as the vajra sword pierced it.
Souta quickly jumped backward as the axe of the four arm troll smashed right at the place where he had been.
Bang!
"For the finis.h.i.+ng touch..." Souta said in his mind as he slashed his sword.
[Crimson Moon]!
A red slash flew out of his sword and hit the body of the four arm troll. Ever since he fought the troll he hasn"t used any skill so this took the troll off guard.
[Crimson Moon] was an equipment skill that didn"t require mana to use it. It only required a specific amount of stats and he would consume some of his stamina. It"s the same as combat arts. While the other equipment skill of the vajra sword [Cross Moon] required mana to use it.
Bang!
Souta didn"t let the four arm troll regained his posture. He used [Dash] to zoom the distance between him and the four arm troll. He then slashed the vajra sword and slice the arm of the four arm troll which was holding the axe.
Blood spurted out like a fountain and the arm of the four arm troll fell on the ground dying it in red color.
Argh!!
The four arm troll screamed in pain. It waved all the weapons in his hand but Souta antic.i.p.ated it so he deflected the weapons of the troll before he slashed the neck of the four arm troll.
"This is the end..." Souta muttered as he slashed his sword horizontally.
A red line appeared on the body of the four arm troll. After a few moments, it spurted out a fountain of blood.
A familiar sound rang in his head. He was sure that the four arm troll died and the soul in his earring also increased.
"Huff..." Souta exhaled as he turned his head and saw that Yuko already finished fighting the other four trolls. It seems that Yuko could fight four second evolution monsters at the same time. She fought and eliminated four monsters alone at her level. But she took some wounds on her body.
"Good job." Souta praised her as he patted her head. He could see that Yuko was exhausted from fighting monsters. It was understandable as they were clearing dungeons for five hours.
[Shadow Bind] spell would be enough to handle all of these monsters. Unfortunately, he couldn"t use his mana.
Souta looked around and saw a room on the other side of the area. He entered it and found troll babies. The babies were crying silently as they knew that all the adult trolls that protected them died.
"Hays..." He sighed and closed the room. He would let them survive and increased the number of trolls here. It doesn"t matter to him as long as they increase their number and after they reach a certain number Souta will decrease them by killing all the adults.
Oh? That"s a good idea...
Well, it all depends on them if they could survive without getting killed by any monster here in this world.
At least, Souta gave them his mercy by sparing them.
Yuko looked at Souta with a tired expression. She wanted to rest for a whole before they continued clearing dungeons. She didn"t know that Souta planned to go back to the Eternal Empire after this.
Boom!
Suddenly, the whole area shook heavily. Then a heavy pressure of best feram flooded the entire dungeon.
Souta and Yuko shuddered as they felt the intense pressure of best feram. Even though Souta has energy resistance, he still felt pressure by the best feram in the atmosphere.
This best feram was the strongest energy he felt ever since he came into this world. He couldn"t compare it to Bargan as Bargan"s mana didn"t even fluctuate when he defeated the six-circle officers of the Deadly Sins. It means that Bargan didn"t even need to use half of his powers to defeat those people. He was simply swatting ants with his palm.
The best feram in the atmosphere was thick and dense. Souta and Yuko could hardly move their body under the pressure.
"Stronger than third evolution..." Souta grumbled in frustration. He was sure that the best feram was coming from a monster higher than a third evolution monster. He saw the ape in the Desolate Woods and saw the power of the dark vine stinger in the Fersch dukedom. Both of them were at the third evolution stage. Also, the dark vine stinger was a monster at the peak of third evolution. But the best feram of that monster wasn"t as strong as this one.
The troll babies in the other room were already lying on the ground without a hint of consciousness. Even though they were monsters, they still wouldn"t be able to handle the pressure of the best feram that was coming from a higher existence. Just like how Souta suffered from drinking the monster potion and took the best feram when he wasn"t supposed to have it at his current level.
"d.a.m.n! Just what is happening right now!? I don"t know anything about this event!" Souta gritted his teeth in anger.
