Chapter 402 - Intense Battle!
-----
As Kuro and her party reached the Dark Forest Dungeon, they were greeted by a beautiful sight of a dark forest with purple-colored plants.
??
However, the very moment they entered this area, they felt the presence of several creatures glaring at them with a strong bloodlust!
"Ah, we are being watched!" said Fei, readying herself for battle by jumping off Berth.
"Everyone, get ready!" said Kuro, as she raised her several weapons into the air, enhancing them with her Phantom Aura!
The children bared themselves as they glanced at the beasts leap out of the bushes and trees, large wolves, each one being around two meters tall, with enormous jaws filled with razor-sharp teeth, glowing red eyes, and rabid expressions on their faces!
"Awwoooooo!"
Suddenly, they heard one of the wolves howl loudly, commanding the rest of the group to attack Kuro and the rest!
These monsters were Rank 3 Demon Wolves, not so strong by themselves, but rather deadly when they were together while being commanded by a Pack Leader!
"GRAAWR!"
The wolves rushed towards Kuro and company, jumping out and opening their enormous and disproportionate jaws with fierceness!
Vina was the first one to strike, as she raised her hammer into the air and hit one of the Demon Wolves that leaped towards them with enough strength to completely shatter its skull, sending the lifeless body up into the air!
CLASH!
"One down! Hmm, I wonder how wolves taste like!" said Vina.
"Gust Kick!" said Fei, jumping in midair and using her strong talons to unleash a powerful, wind-boosted kick into the chin of a Demon Wolf, breaking apart its jaw in an instant and sending the agonizing beast high into the air!
"Slicing Wind Fist!"
Fei immediately continued with a combo, using her fists to unleash a slicing wind attack in the shape of her scaled hands, slashing through the Demon Wolf in midair and covering it with slice attacks!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
"GRRAAAOOOO…!"
The beast agonized in pain as it died not long after, hitting the floor and blasting its head into pieces, like a watermelon falling off a cliff!
"Damn, she's fierce!" thought Berth, as he raised his large axe and slashed through a Demon Wolf's back, leaving a giant wound that made the creature lethargic!
"I got you!" said Berth bravely, he was no longer the same weak kid of before, and he had already fought monsters before and leveled up, even changing Jobs, he was strong now, and was confident that he could take the life of another living being now!
However, two other Wolves came from his left and right, distracting him as he used his giant tower shield to black the charge of the left one while using his axe to slash through the right wolf, however, the wolf leaped in advance and evaded the attack, roaring fiercely as it bit Berth's leg!
"Agh, you damn dog!" said Berth, glaring at the weakened Wolf he attacked beforehand trying to bite his other leg!
However, a tiny Cockroach-type Insectoid girl emerged at Berth's side to his rescue!
"I'll finish it!" said Mitiliph.
Mitiliph came afterward, using her wings to enhance her speed and then releasing several shadow bullets through her magic circles conjured beforehand, blasting the Demon Wolf into pieces by leaving its body filled with holes, like swiss cheese!
"Amazing! You are really good at magic!" said Acaracia, as she noticed a wolf coming right towards her, but she had no time to take out her spear!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" cried Acaracia, however, she did not cry out of fear, but as a method of attacking!
Banshees had the amazing talent of using their own voices as a weapon, their screams had the power to even inflict physical damage into the target through sound waves and strong vibrating forces!
Through her Scream Skill, Acaracia unleashed a strong wave of sound waves, hitting the wolf directly as it was less than a meter near her body!
The vibrating forces hit the wolf directly, as they spread through all of its body and even slightly shattered its bones!
CRASH!
"AWOOO…!"
The Demon Wolf roared in pain as it was sent flying into the air, falling into the ground and gasping for air, its entire bones had shattered a bit, and every time it tried to move it caused extreme pain!
"Piercing Spear!" said Acaracia, using her spear technique to finish off the Demon Wolf with a piercing attack right into its head, blasting it into pieces in an instant as she quickly kept fighting, using the combination of her Scream Skill to disable enemies, and then finishing them off with her spear!
Meanwhile, Berth used his axe to slash the head of the wolf that was biting his leg!
SLASH!
Berth glanced at his leg as he only felt a slight pain, but the armor he wore protected him from a direct wound into his flesh rather well, although it ended molded by the bite attack, it slowly began to regain its original shape through the special armor's Shape Memory!
"Phew… Eh!" said Berth, as he could not relax for a bit as another Wolf leaped over his shoulder, trying to bite his neck!
"GRRRAAAWWR!"
"Berth-kun, I got your back!" said Fei, jumping towards the Demon Wolf with amazing speed and her wind magic, using her talons to kick the Demon Wolf off Berth's back with incredible speed, strength, and swiftness!
CLASH!
"GROOOWL!"
The wolf roared in agonizing pain, as Berth smiled, using his amazing strength fitting of someone of the pure Giant race, as he raised his giant axe upwards, slicing in half the Demon Wolf while it was in midair!
"Wow!" said Fei, surprised about Berth's amazing physical capabilities, as the Demon Wolf groaned the last time before falling into two pieces over the ground, motionless!
"Thanks for covering my back, Fei-chan!" said Berth.
"Hehe, it's nothing!" said Fei cutely, as she and Berth resumed the intense battle!
CLASH! BOOM! CRASH!
Kuro was mercilessly slaughtering the Demon Wolves rushing towards her!
Using the weapons gifted by her mother, she unleashed powerful breath attacks from her staff, sliced through the demon wolves using nether flames, or made them explode with the piercing power and explosive effect of her spear!
Monstrously merciless, the little and adorable Kuro was incredibly strong, so much that the wolves quickly began to tremble near her, desiring to attack the other kids while trying to evade her!
"Eeeh?! Where are you going? Give me more EXP!" said Kuro, rushing towards the Wolves and using her metallic threads to catch and slice them up into tiny pieces ruthlessly!
However, she quickly came to a stop to her merciless slaughter as a larger and fiercer wolf emerged from within the large pack!
It is body size was almost five meters tall, with an enormous jaw, muscular body, and hard, metallic fur, with fierce crimson eyes and a breath that even exuded black flames!
"GRAAAAAAAAAWR!"
"W-What is that thing?!" asked Asure while being startled, he was fighting by jumping over the Demon Wolves with his small and agile frame and slicing off through their throats.
The aura of the beast unleashed a dark domain that gave it a powerful pressure, making many of the children aware of it immediately!
"T-That's…! I know what it is! It is a Black Fire Demon Wolf King! That is a Rank 5 monster!" said Berth, gritting his teeth, he didn't think that such a fierce and strong creature would emerge so fast in this battle!
"Eeeeh?! Then let us get him! I am going to eat that meat!" said Vina, rushing boldly towards the giant beast and raising her hammer towards it!
"GRAWR!"
However, the Wolf King quickly flashed towards her with enormous speed, startling her she lost the balance of her large body and almost tripped over!
"Aaah!" cried Vina glancing at the giant jaws opening towards her!
"VINAAA!" roared Asure, coming to the rescue of his big girl as he jumped over several meters through the air, landing into the head of the wolf and using his Cursed Daggers to inflict deep wounds into the beast's beady crimson eyes!
SLASH! SLASH!
"AGRRROOOOWWL!"
The beast moved away from Vina in time, as Asure was thrown away by the wolf's constant movements of its back!
"Agh!" cried Asure, as Vina quickly caught him!
"Thanks, Asure-kun!" said Vina with a warm smile, putting Asure on her back as she raised her hammer and hit the wolf's head with it!
CLANK!
"GRRAAWRR…!"
"Everyone, get to it!" roared Kuro, charging to battle with the rest of her friends, using her weapons to slice through the giant beast's thick skin and hard flesh, while freezing it with her demon fire and other spells!
Berth used his giant axe and slashed through the flesh of the monster, but it was quite too thick for him, so he had to use Limit Breakthrough and enhance his piercing strength!
Fei used her unarmed fighting techniques, slicing through the monster and smothering the flesh with strong hits!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Tina used her daggers, sending them flying towards the wolf and making them explode with crimson flames!
BOOM! BOOM!
Then Acaracia unleashed her Scream once more, making the beast lethargic and confused, as it began to unleash breaths of black fire around aimlessly!
It was growing desperate!
Mitiliph flew with her insect wings high into the sky, as she conjured a large spear of shadows through her magic circle created beforehand through an extensive chant!
"Shadow Spear!" she roared, firing the spear of shadows over the weakened beast's body, piercing its entire body, and defeating it once and for all!
CLASH!!!
"AGRROOOOOOOOOOWL…!"
BOOM!
With a single boom, the beast fell over the ground, motionless…
"We… did it!" said Fei, resting over the grass… most of the other wolves were defeated now, and the rest ran away.
"Yeah… Phew… That was intense…" sighed Berth.
"Alright, let's save this up and continue! There's a lot to do yet!" said Kuro, cheering up her party.
