Blood Assimilation

Chapter 235

235 Icy Fog

At this moment, Randy looked ahead of himself as a strange phenomenon was happening right in front of his eyes.

The green-clothed young woman, who was on the verge of being taken down by the fierce magical beasts, suddenly exploded with a burst of power, as her entire body started glowing in this intense green glow that embraced her entire being. It was almost as though she was a living brilliant light.

Seeing her like this, Randy was shocked by the power exuding from her body as it did not seem to be just mana. It had this sublime feeling, which gave the impression that something was different about it as compared to ordinary mana.

‘Is this body aura or something else?’ Randy wondered with a perplexed expression.

With his interest now piqued, he decided to hold back on his intervention for a bit to observe what power she was using.

Even though he wields different forms of energy within his body enough to be familiar with their nature, this energy still looked completely different in nature from what he currently possessed.

Meanwhile, the surrounding magical beasts winced in trepidation as they tried not to get close to the strange emitting light coming from the green-clothed young woman.

However, they did not completely depart from her location, and instead waited, especially the B-Rank magical beasts, who could tell that it was that human’s last-ditch attack.

They had faced these kinds of attacks in the past from other Dungeon Hunters, and most of them were weaker than even their original output power. As such, they were able to kill them after letting them drain their remaining power.

.....

Although these magical beasts had no intention of fighting these humans in the beginning and only cared about running away from a threat, since they were already at this stage, they might as kill these weak humans, who most likely had something to do with the threat within the forest.

On the other hand, Randy continued to observe the changes happening to the green-clothed young woman’s body.

He had no idea what that strange power was, but according to his deduction, she seemed to be using her ultimate attack against the magical beasts since she was about to lose.

Sure enough, a few moments later, after she stabilized herself and her power, she immediately charged into the swarm of the unsuspecting beasts like a moth to a flame with reckless abandon.

Although her current actions may indeed be reckless, and she most likely planned on dying while fighting those magical beasts, her movement, weapon technique, and visual awareness- all of her combat prowess were showcased effortlessly with a clear resolution and bravery displayed in her sharp gaze.

Furthermore, her combat skills and techniques were also executed flawlessly without wasting any movement as she pounced on the magical beasts, who had no choice but to face her relentless wrath.

This time, with a long sword in her grasp, she utterly decimated a group of magical beasts who had no idea that their target would suddenly ambush them out of nowhere and was even stronger than they had anticipated, completely unlike the others that they had faced before.

Even though she had the upper hand while killing about 10-20 C-Rank and B-Rank magical beasts after her sudden outburst of that strange power, she very quickly lost her steam in combat like a deflated balloon.

Shortly after, she knelt on the ground, a few meters away from the remaining magical beasts, as she started panting with a withered expression. She seemed to have expended all of her energy.

Furthermore, it appeared that the mysterious and unknown power she used just now had taken a great toll on her body after usage, as she could barely stand and could only use her thin long sword to prop herself up from falling flat on the ground as she knelt.

When the fierce-looking magical beasts, especially the surviving B-Rank magical beasts, who were caught off-guard by her attacks, saw her sorry state, their eyes immediately became filled with redness from going into their frenzied state.

They wanted to get their revenge on her for killing their comrades, and so with bloodshot eyes, a group B-Rank magical beasts pounced on her with the aim to rip her apart and chew on her bones to sate their anger.

Seeing the approaching beasts who had savage looks on their hairy faces, the green-clothed young woman simply knelt there with a calm expression.

Her current appearance could only be described as wretched; Her clothes were wrinkled and tattered, which exposed a bit of her fair skin; Her neatly tied-up blonde hair became undone and disheveled from the battle; There were also countless cut wounds inflicted on her otherwise unblemished skin from the magical beasts’ claws and fang attacks.

Naturally, most of these wounds came from her previous battle against much stronger magical beasts. These magical beasts couldn’t even put a scratch on her body.

However, despite her current appearance, the green-clothed young woman did not pay it any attention, as she waited for her end right where she stood without turning her firm gaze away from her attackers.

‘Is this finally it? Will I also die in battle like my comrades?’ The green-clothed young woman wondered to herself despite the approaching magical beasts, who only drew closer toward her.

Within the few moments of silence before her ultimate end, she displayed a melancholic expression before muttering: “Pylona, Pylonard, Celesta... All of my comrades... I will be joining you guys soon... Pylona, Pylonard, Celesta... I hope that when we meet again, you will forgive this incompetent Big Sister of yours...”

The moment she finished her seemingly last words, she gazed into the sky for a moment before she closed her eyes, ready to perish under the brutal beasts’ attacks.

The magical beasts were only about 30 inches away from gnawing at her supple neck, clawing at her chest, and slashing her back; Each magical beast aimed at a different part of her body with madness visible in their bloodshot eyes.

At this critical moment, imperceptibly, something silently appeared in front of the green-clothed young woman.

The next instant, the entire surroundings were filled with this bone-chilling icy fog.

The chilly sensation from the icy fog caused the green-clothed young woman to abruptly open her eyes, and to her surprise, at some unknown point, a young man was standing in front of her gallantly as he wielded a sword that exuded a cold aura from its blade.
