Creeping slowly towards the inner chamber, the tapping sound echoed throughout the cave with each footstep from Elric and Davis.
"Davis get over here and look" with a slight whisper Elric who had already reached the chamber's entrance quickly signalled Davis to get closer.
Seeing this, David quickly increased his pace catching up to Elric at the entrance.
"Damn young master, what do you think happened to them? They all look like they're about to die."
Pointing towards the cave's interior Davis had a look of shock.
In it, five large and heavily injured monsters could clearly be seen.
First off was a large thunder bunny who had a large scar right through his chest bleeding profusely, its left eye seemed to have lost light and from time to time it would roar out in pain.
Beside it was a large ant-type creature of about three metres, its body was split in two yet its two antennae upfront kept moving to show it was alive
Looking deeper, three more figures came into sight, a huge blood-red bat with only half a wing growing from its back, a huge rocklike figure covered with dense cracks all over its body, and lastly, a large pertrosour-type animal.
Looking at all these different bests lying down without any friction, Elric suddenly realised that only such severe injuries could stop the two hostile factions from fighting.
*However this is a good thing, the appearance of these beasts just solves the food issues and my experimental materials till we find a way out of here*
Thinking of this, Elric couldn't wait to rush into the inner chamber and slaughter all of them.
*Calm down Elric, although their injured who knows what kind of strength a wounded beast can burst out on the verge of death"
Taking a deep breath, Elric still decided to have some extra insurance before he went in.
"Davis I'm about to go in, the beast's there are on the verge of death. If I make a perfectly timed move, I should be able to one-shot the five of them"
"And no buts this time, we need to act quickly as any wasted time increases the possibility of uncertain events"
Just as Davis was about to go against it, Elric quickly shut him down, not giving him a chance.
Taking a deep breath, Davis already knew from the tone of Elric's voice there was no possibility of changing his mind.
"Fine, however, if anything goes wrong I'll rush in and save you"
Although reluctant, Davis had no choice but to accept it.
And seeing this, Elric just nodded with a light smile obviously he had predicted Davis reaction
"Now that that's done, it's time for my second insurance"
Mumbling under his breath, Elric face gradually turned into a serious one
"A.I. chip active combat mode!"
"Objective, elimination of those five targets!"
As soon as Elric said this, his eyes suddenly became dull.
Davis on the side could help but feel familiar when he saw Elric like this
"wait a minute, isn't this the state young master looked like back at the warriors' challenge?"
Thinking of this, Davis suddenly felt he was right unfortunately neither Elric nor the A.I. chip were in the mood to answer after all their battle was about to start
[Command received!]
[Combat mode activated!]
However this time unlike last time the source of extraordinary and the A.I chip had completely merged plus Elric new knowledge of inscriptions completely raised the combat modes to combat ability by more than a level
[Initiating target!]
[Target locked!]
[body strengthening magic activated!]
Soon under Davis' astonished gaze, a bunch of unintelligible words came out of Elric's mouth.
However just as he was about to say something, Elric suddenly dashed at amazing speeds into the inner chamber
[Summon spell book]
[Active fire ball inscription!]
[Create blinding effect with the light]
As Elric entered, before the monsters could react, a huge fireball suddenly exploded in front of them completely obstructing their vision
"Roaaar!!"
"Roaaar!!"
"Roaaar!!"
"Roaaar!!"
"Roaaar!!"
Being blinded by the light the five monsters simultaneously roared confused by their current sudden situation
Unfortunately, Elric didn't give them a chance to figure out what was going on, with the A.I. chip activated his calculations speeds had increased multiple times allowing him to figure out the best move to make
*Boom!*
Immediately Elric disappeared from where he stood, under the combined effect of the body stretching magic and his enhanced physique Elric speed was not sometimes ordinary monsters could deal with
Soon Elric had already found himself in front of the injured thunder bunny.
Looking at the thunder bunny currently injured and blinded by light Eric felt no shame nor pity in attacking an injured opponent
[Injured thunder bunny detected]
[Highest severity of injured located on the left area of the chest]
Under the A.i chips powerful scan, the weekends of the thunder bunny had already been detected
[...Commencing attack!]
[Serious punch activated!]
*Boom!*
Concentrating all the power on his right arm, Elric delivered a serious bunch going directly through the bunny's chest.
Following this example, Eric appeared one by one to attack each of their weaknesses directly, killing them with one hit.
Soon all that was left was a dull eyed Elric standing in the middle of five corpses with a bloody fist
[Detected goal achieved]
[Deactivating combat mode!]
Soon the colour in Elric's eyes gradually began to regain colour
"Young master are you alright?"
Although only a few seconds had passed however, after going from hearing loud sounds and seeing a larger flash of light, Davis quickly ran into the chamber disregarding the consequences
However, after seeing only Elric standing there with a fist covered in blood he couldn't help but worry so much that he ignored the corpses around Elric.
And Elric who had just got out from Combat mode suddenly felt a wave of fatigue hit him
"Don't worry Davis I'm fin-!"
*Boom!*
Just as Elric was about to say the last word, he suddenly collapsed on the floor
"Young master!!!!"
Seeing this Elric fall, Davis' shout immediately resounded throughout the cave even reaching Alvin and George back at the entrance.
