Chapter 140 Peak Two-Star Beast
Chapter 140 Peak Two-Star Beast
*Bellow*
Just as Haory wanted to turn around to alert everyone, a loud bellow followed by rustling of trees sounded.
In the next moment, a white bull that was the size of an elephant with two sharp pointing horns appeared in her sight
Its eyes were red and it had deep claw wounds on its body, blood was gushing out of them.
It was clear that it just had a fight with some other beast and escaped here after getting injured.
Inside the cave Max frowned when he heard the sound and stood up. "Everyone, some beast is outside. Get ready to fight and follow me. Haory must be in trouble." After shouting he ran at his fastest speed toward the exit that was only around fifty meters away.
...Meanwhile, outside the cave...
The bull was already full of anger because of its injuries and the fact that it had to escape.
Thud! Thud!
Although it was injured, its speed was nothing a initial stage two-star beast could compare.
Haory was frightened by the pressure it exuded, however, she quickly calmed down and cast her spell [Sand manipulator hand]. The sand took the shape of a giant punch and struck the bull head-on.
Bang!
Bull's horns glowed and the sand punch was destroyed just as it came into contact with them.
Halt!
However, the bull was also stopped by the force of the punch.
*Bellow*
It bellowed in anger, its eyes turning a ominous shade of red. Its horns glowed and the glow covered its body as it charged at Haory.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
From the rubble of destroyed sand hand, many one meter long sharp spikes shot at the bull, targeting the wounds on its body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sand spikes crashed onto its body and were destroyed by the glowing light without doing much harm.
However, some of the spikes landed on its wounds making it cringe in pain. It increased its already frightening speed and appeared in front of Haory, attacking her with its horns.
If the horns struck her body, death was certain.
Seeing the death so close, Haory's mind retained unparalleled calmness and she cast another spell in an instant.
Rumble!
As she expanded her mana, Wall after wall of sand appeared in front of her to defend against the bull's strike. At the same time more spikes shot out from under her feet.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bull destroyed every wall in front of it. The spikes were ignored by it as the glow was still enveloping its body. The spikes stabbed in its thick hide but couldn't damage it.
Bang!
Even though the bull was seriously injured, the sand walls that could have stopped most of the attacks from most of the initial stage two-star or even middle stages mages and beasts, crumbled when coming into contact with the bull's horns as if they were made of paper.
Ugh!!
Seeing that her defences weren't of any use and the horns about to pierce her body, she dodge the horns and was struck by the its head. She was thrown toward the cave at frightening speed, spitting out blood, her internal organs badly damaged.
When she saw that she would crash into the stone wall of the cave, she tried using her mana to cushion the impact but maybe because of her injury, she couldn't use it in time.
'I'm really going to die. Won't anyone come to save me?' A tear drop fell from her eyes. The image of Max appeared in her mind but she wasn't too optimistic about the fact that he could arrive in time and her consciousness was starting wavering now.
Whoosh!
Right before losing her consciousness, she felt two warm hands gently wrapping around her body, preventing her from crashing into the rocky wall.
'You... Came...' She thought and a relieved smile appeared on her face as she fell unconscious.
Max saw her bloodied body and was amazed. It had been only a few seconds and she was already injured to this extent despite her strength.
He quickly took out two grade two healing pill and put it inside her mouth and used his mana to help her digest it.
Whoosh!
Leticia followed by Belén and Rima also came beside them.
However, their faces turned pale upon seeing the white bull glaring at them.
"Gulp! A p-peak two-star beast." Belén gulped nervously.
Hearing this Max also frowned and scanned the beast. He understood why she was defeated in such a short time.
Their whole group could at most fight a middle stage two-star beast. High stage and peak stage beasts were simply out of the question.
"It's indeed a peak two-star beast. But it's already injured and most probably doesn't have much mana left. We can fight it." Max said, trying to boost their dwindling courage.
The bull has seen them and given the state it was in, it won't let them go easily. Although Max and Leticia had high chance of escaping with their speed.
Belén, Rima and the unconscious Haory would definitely be killed and he didn't want his comrades to die when they still had hopes of survival because,
[ Mana: 4200 ]
[ Lust Points: 20000 ]
'I should be able to kill it since it is already injured.' Seeing his status screen he felt more confident.
His mana was more than double when he fought the eight eyed spider, and although he wanted to save some LPs to unlock a fire spell, he could still increase his mana by another 2000 points if needed.
He looked at the unconscious Haory in his arms and put her down on the ground behind them.
"Rima, cast your sonic spell on it. Belén, use your vines and restrict its movements. Leticia use you wind bullets and target the wounds on its body, and most importantly, DON'T GET KILLED." Max quickly shouted instructions seeing that bull was charging toward them.
Everyone nodded simultaneously. A peak two-star beast, even after being injured wasn't something to be taken lightly.
*Bellow*
The bull saw more humans appear in front of it and Bellowed. It didn't wait and charged at them.
'Let's see how strong I've become.' Max crackled his knuckles and conjured a 300-point fireball.
