Chapter 98 Absolute Defense
In the middle of the forest, Shawn Murphy, Frank, and Shey started to investigate the area and get as much as knowledge as possible.
They are trying to familiarize themselves with the unknown terrain. Shawn Murphy is the captain of one legion in their organization. He is an experienced battle-hardened veteran. Furthermore, he was quite well known in the Degu Circle as "The Steel Hunter". Hunters are known to specialize in hunting their fellow degu users instead of fighting monsters. That's why Shawn Murphy has offended a lot of people and has a lot of enemies wanting to tear him into pieces. The problem is his defense that reached the level of monstrosity.
All of his abilities were biased on his defense and physique. Even S-ranks would have a hard time fighting him because of it. And he was just an A-rank.
His defense and hunting expertise made him lethal and feared. Countless forces have offered an olive branch to him, but all of them got refused. Until one of the strongest came and beat him into submission. Max Greyfold, an absolute powerhouse, the patriarch of Werewolves Clan, the one and only Alpha, the one who can go toe to toe with the Blood Progenitor of Vladimir Family! These titles aren't even enough to describe him. He was ruthless to all and even himself, he even killed his own child for being weak. Lastly, he was the big boss behind many incidents that range from assassinations and theft.
Shawn suddenly stopped.
"There are traces here, it seems there are five monsters in front of us. Let's warm up before disposing that guy called Fein Bonifacio!" After saying this he run forward with a twisted smile on his face.
Frank and Shey looked at their Captain with fear.
"His true face has appeared again, be careful okay?" Shey said with seriousness.
Frank nodded and quickly followed behind the two.
Shawn Murphy ran crazily, ramming into the trees with brute force while laughing crazily... Every tree would either fall directly or would result in a huge hole with the shape of a human.
The twin brothers wiped the cold sweats on their forehead at the craziness their Captain was showing. They have known their Captain for a long time, they knew most of his dark secrets including this one. All of Shawn's past subordinates died because they can't keep secrets.
Gradually they saw a light at the end of the forest. Shawn glanced at the five 43 meters beasts in front of him and smiled wildly.
"Hehe, I might enjoy my time here this time" He clenched his fist and charged forward.
The five leopards who were peacefully doing their own thing saw a crazy man disturb their meal time. They were enraged by this, in the jungle, there was a saying in the hunters' circle that you don't disturb a predator's meal or you would be deader than dead!
As they were getting close to each other, Shawn Murphy's skin transformed into diamond, its brilliance would blind anyone who looks at it. The sharp claws of the beasts manage to land on Shawn's body. But it didn't do anything, as there's not even a scratch on Shawn's diamond skin.
Multiple claws started to relentlessly attack Shawn Murphy. Seeing the futile attacks, he held his punch and stand still to let them attack. He looked at them with a mocking face.
Seeing the arrogant and annoying attitude of the human in front of them, the five leopards became even crazier, their attacks starts to produce tearing force in the air, but even then, Shawn didn't do anything but yawn in boredom.
"Look, Captain's absolute defense was really unmatched"
"Well, he was called invincible Steel Hunter for nothing"
The two twins watched in awe as their captain tanked all the attacks casually. It was as if he was having a relaxing massage instead of fighting. It was literally a monster in a human skin.
The battle continued for hours, the leopards continued their fierce onslaught with increasing intensity.
But as time passes, they became slower, and the force of their attacks have decreased substantially.
All creatures have their stamina, some can last longer while some would be exhausted quicker. Now, the leopards are on their limits, the previous craziness vanished replaced by doubt and helplessness.
Their self-confidence was hit hard, Shawn didn't defeat them not only in physical but also mentally.
Shawn became even more happy as he saw the misery the Leopards are undergoing. He liked this feeling, crushing his enemies in despair, and the next would be his target "Fein Bonifacio". He would humiliate him until he doubt his life. As his line of thought continues, a smirk formed on his crazy face. This is his proud defensive ability, anyone would feel weak and helpless against it. If there was anything he was afraid of, it was only one person. Max Greyfold the supreme leader of their faction!
'This is enough, It's getting boring.' Shawn clenched his fist, his bulging veins were now apparent.
" Get lost little shits! The realm of A-ranks does not need weaklings like you"
After saying this, he smiled arrogantly, his fist went towards the five leopards.
The five leopards are powerless due to exhaustion after battling for hours and using all of their abilities.
*Boom!*
A loud sonic boom was produced by Shawn's powerful punch. His fist penetrated the five leopards smoothly like butter. The mountains behind were also destroyed completely...
Frank and Shey gasped at the sole power of the punch. They have witnessed their Captain's power many times but it doesn't fail to surprise them every time they witness it.
"This is the Captain's power after combinations of passive abilities that strengthen his physical body right?" Frank whispered.
Shey glanced at the destruction and answered. "Diamond Skin, Enhanced Strength, Explosive Muscles, and Steel Bones. There are the abilities that made Captain's defense and strength reach this level, and if he used thunder punch, even S-rank would have to evade it."
Shawn Murphy looked at his fist which was full of fleshly blood and licked it. He went to the organs and scattered flesh in the area. He picked them up and chew them. His face was in bliss as he enjoys eating the raw meat of the dead leopards.
The two twins looked disturbed, the two of them puked at the side of the tree.
