Chapter 214: Crude Fight
Chapter 214: Crude Fight
“Fighting my instinct??” asked Anna.
“No, silly girl. You need to be the one that makes the decision. Like when you choose to stay with me. You have a good reason to even fight against your instinct. So, as long as you have a good reason to do it, you could do whatever you want and even stay with me.” said Angus.
“I.. I will be the decision-maker with a good reason and stay with Angus. Angus is kind and helps me. I like staying with Angus. So, please let me stay?” said Anna.
“Good girl. But, I will still punish you if you make a bad decision.” said Angus.
“Yeah.. Yey.. I will stay with Angus.” said Anna happily.
Suddenly both of them look in different directions at the same time while Draven is entering Angus’s shadow. On the horizon, there are dozens of people running towards Angus direction. All these people were wearing different colored clothes and were wounded.
They are the survivors from the other ambush. Now, they are on the way to regroup with the main camp.
“Forty-two people.. One of them is a fifth-grade combatant. That’s quite a lot. Well, none of it matters. They will die anyway. Anna stays he…” said Angus.
*BOM* Before Angus ends his sentence, Anna already charges fast towards the survivor. The incoming survivor also notices the incoming Anna.
“What’s that?!!” yelled one of the survivors.
Anna approached the survivor with a huge dark claw in both hands in the blink of an eye. Without hesitation, she begins to attack the survivor.
“Die!! Die!! Die!!” said Anna maniacally.
Looking at this, Angus could only release a sigh, “Good grief. Well, not that I complain. Draven, protect her from the shadow.” said Angus while wearing his cloak artifact and disappearing from the spot.
The survivor group is surprised at the sudden attack, but they are also not weak that Anna could be killing them right away. Still, they are surprised at her speed and body strength. Moreover, she fights like a mad beast which is harder to fend off.
“Don’t worry. It’s just a kid. Quick surround…*BAM*” Before the survivor finished his sentence, his head was already pierced by [Snipe Shot].
The last surviving fifth-grade combatant in the team managed to notice this, “Ambush!! defend yourself!!” Shouted the fifth-grade leader before coming towards Anna, who used this opportunity to kill her opponent.
In due time, another person got attacked by [Snipe Shot] and [Shadow Spike] from Draven. The situation became more chaotic while the fifth-grade combatant fought against Anna.
“Shit… What is this little girl? Although I am injured, how come she is moving like that. Moreover, It feels like fighting against a monster rather than a person.” said the fifth-grade combatant while defending against Anna’s mad attack.
Suddenly, Anna retreats and creates a black miasma ball in front of her. Less than a second later, she shoots the black ball towards the fifth-grade combatant [Miasma Blast].
“Shit!!” Yelled the fifth-grade combatant.
*BOOM* The fifth-grade combatant managed to dodge the Miasma Blast at the last second, but his body still got hit by it. Suddenly, he feels the miasma slowly corroding his body from his wound.
“This.. Miasma!!” said the fifth-grade combatant.
Before the fifth-grade combatant could react, Anna already continued her attack.
Angus, who saw this from far away, couldn’t help but think, ‘Damn, she likes a beast. So much wasted movement and energy.’ thought Angus while continuously casting [Snipe Shot] towards the survivor group.
Soon, the number of surviving groups is dwindling. There are fifteen grade four combatants and the injured fifth-grade combatant that is still clashing with Anna. At this moment, a beast roar was heard from the surrounding area. *Roar* *Roar* *Roar*
“Damn.. Why is there a group of monsters here at this moment?!!” said one of the survivors trying to fend off the monster.
One by one, monsters start to appear and attack the survivors. Angus uses this opportunity and begins to [Snipe Shot] the remaining survivor from far away.
While killing the survivor, ‘Monster? Does she also have the ability to summon them?’ thought Angus.
After a while, the only survivor is the wounded fifth-grade combatant who fends off the attack from the monster and Draven [Shadow Spike]. As for Anna, she is already exhausted after using another miasma blast and recuperates on the spot.
Right now, she couldn’t move her body and was exhausted. However, none of the monsters attack her while she is recovering. The fifth grade is quite persistent under the combined attack of Draven and the nearby monster.
“Let’s see you handle this.” said Angus as he shot [Snipe Shot] towards the fifth grade.
*BAM* the [Snipe Shot] hit the fifth-grade head and ultimately killed him.
“Fiuhh.. Fortunately, he is injured and distracted. Otherwise, it will be difficult just to defeat him. Now, what should I do with all this monster?” said Angus.
Then, Anna stands up from her spot and glares at the monster. The monsters also glare at Anna. Most of the monsters here are called desert wolves and giant scorpions. Both of them have poisonous claws and are pretty dangerous.
After glaring for a while, the biggest desert wolf, a grade two monster, sniffed at Anna before growling and attacking Anna. Before the attack reaches Anna, Angus already appears in front of Anna and wielding Sky Thorn.
Without hesitation, Angus beheads the incoming wolf. The other monster is surprised at Angus’s sudden appearance. But feeling the thick mana in Angus’s body, they immediately attack Angus.
Using [Beast Walk] while holding Sky Thorn, Angus begins to butcher the monster efficiently. He managed to hit all the monster weak spots while dodging all of their attacks. He didn’t use any firebolt or another spell since the monster’s body is quite resilient.
Based on his experience, monsters at this grade could even withstand the Fireball spell head-on. Because of this, Angus decided to use Sky Thorn to penetrate their thick defense. As he fights the incoming Desert Wolf, a big scorpion’s claw comes towards him.
Angus immediately shoots the Sky Thorn’s blade towards the giant scorpion. *BAM* The Sky Thorn penetrates the giant scorpion head and instantly kills it. After that, Angus controls Sky Thorn’s blade using the chain and killing the surrounding wolf.
The Sky Thorn seems alive and moves according to Angus’s will. Draven also does not stay idle either. He also launches many sneak attacks from the shadow.
After a while, Angus and Draven managed to kill all the monsters and harvest their core. Draven even decides to eat some of their meat on the spot. Beast body is different from any other race. They somehow could withstand the miasma inside the monster meat.
They even prefer monster meat since all the miasma inside of it could become nutrition. They are the only living being that can consume monster meat safely. However, they couldn’t eat monster meat with grades far beyond theirs.
For the current Draven, he could only eat up to grade three monsters. Above that, he could die from the potent miasma inside the monster.
Unfortunately, the growth rate of beasts is very slow, unlike other races, especially a legendary beast like Mundus. Otherwise, they will become the true hegemon of this world. After cleaning up a little bit, Angus approaches Anna, who is still recovering.
“Why are you suddenly attacking them?” asked Angus.
“It’s because they are dangerous, and Angus also wants to kill them.” replied Anna innocently.
“Haa… Anyway, did you somehow summon all these monsters?” asked Angus.
“Ermm.. I am not sure. But it seems they are attracted to me.” said Anna.
“Attracted?? Is it from your cry or your miasma?” asked Angus.
“Miasma? What’s that?.” replied Anna.
“Haa.. Forget it. What does your instinct tell you when the monster is glaring at you?” asked Angus again.
“I feel.. I am not strong enough to subdue them.” said Anna honestly.
“Subdue? not killing them?” asked Angus again.
“Yes, I guess I am too weak. I couldn’t even finish that guy without the help of the monster and Angus.” said Anna dejectedly.
‘Weak?!! Weak my ass!! You just fight on par with a fifth-grade combatant. Although he is injured and corrupted with your miasma, you are still called your strength weak. I guess I need to teach her some common sense.’ thought Angus.
“You are not weak. Although your fighting capability is crude, you managed to be on par with a fifth-grade combatant. Even if he is injured, you should be proud to hold on that long.” said Angus.
“Anyway, let’s get out of here. Some people may feel all the commotion and investigate this place.” added Angus before standing up.
Looking at Anna that still didn’t move from her spot, “Hey, are you okay? What’s wrong?” asked Angus.
“Erm… Can I eat them?” said Anna while pointing at the survivor and the monster’s corpse.
Hearing this, Angus begins to frown, “Does your feeling tell you to eat their corpse?” asked Angus.
Anna shook her head, “No, I just want to eat something inside them. I feel that there is something inside them that could help me grow.”
“By something, did you mean this one?” said Angus.
