Chapter 33: Beasts’ Attacks (1)

Bloed was not as nervous as Liu Ying. He was confident that with all his trump cards, nothing below S-Grade could stop him if he wanted to escape, and it was without considering Regina.

He ordered Leto to speed up and stood on its back observing the monsters with a serious look.

Leto's speed doubled. It quickly reached three hundred kilometers per hour and continued increasing its speed. Liu Ying was forced to hold the wolf's back to not fall.

But despite its increased speed, the monsters did not fall behind.

Around them, monster after monster started to appear. As Regina said, the monsters were trying to surround them.

Bloed frowned. He activated one of his eyes' functions and connected to a satellite he launched before leaving the spaceship. The image of everything around him appeared.

Instantly, Bloed's expression changed.

All the monsters in the exiled lands were converging towards their position.

Thousands and thousands of monsters were chasing after them. None of those monsters was stronger than B-Grade, but just the numbers alone were enough to cause despair.

"Regina, are you seeing this?"

Regina nodded. "I underestimated the number of monsters in this place. I need to go all out if I want to wipe out these many monsters completely"

"But you will not, right?"

Regina nodded. "Of course. Master's goal is to escape, not to fight. And I judged that you are not in life-threatening risk yet. Unleashing all my strength means that master will not have the opportunity to grow."

Bloed smiled wryly. Well, he was already expecting something like that.

Leto continued accelerating, but some of the fastest monsters were already catching up with them. Especially a group of flying monsters. They were already circling above the wolf.

Mana was very powerful. Although flesh and blood alone could not accomplish speeds comparable to Leto, the addition of mana made things different. Some monsters were even faster than him.

Bloed sighed. "Well, it's time to fight. Leto, weapons!"

Bloed submerged his hand into Leto's back and took something out. At some point, a part of Leto's body had turned into a supercharged energy sniper rifle.

It was the true purpose of Bloed's two pets. Tito was his armor, and Leto was his armory.

Bloed held the sniper rifle on his shoulder and activated his eyes. The blue mechanical eyes and his enhanced brain worked together to give him the perfect aim.

Putting his finger on the trigger, he smiled.

"Let's fly."

Then, a flash of light flew towards the sky, right into an eagle's head.

The eagle was unable to react and its mana-enhanced body was unable to block the projectile. In an instant, the result was out.

"Headshot!" Bloed whispered, and pressed the trigger again.

Liu Ying opened her eyes wide. Every time Bloed pressed the trigger, a ray of light was shot, and a beast was killed. Not one managed to survive his attacks.

"W-Wat kind of magic is that?" She asked surprised.

But Bloed was too concentrated to answer. In his place, Regina's right hand lit up and pointed towards the sky.

"It's technology. Below A-Grade, firearms are the kings. Even an A-Grade can't receive a sniper bullet like these head-on. He will have to avoid the bullet to survive."

"A-Grade? Do you mean A-Rank?"

"It's the same." Regina aimed up and shot a ray of light from her arm. Although she would not unleash her entire strength if Bloed was not in life-threatening danger, using C-Grade attacks was alright.

Liu Ying was astonished. Bloed and Regina shot down the monsters incredibly easily. It did not even seem as though they were having trouble.

For an instant, she was a bit envious. Her bloodline was close-combat related, so her long-ranged abilities left much to desire.

But soon, she stopped being envious. Despite Bloed and Regina's astonishing rate of killing, the number of monsters closing to them was only increasing.

When the closest monster was less than a hundred meters away, Bloed frowned. He turned the sniper rifle into two small energy guns and continued shooting.

The energy guns were less powerful and precise than the sniper rifle, but the rate of fire was many times higher and it was easier to use. Much better for medium-ranged combat.

Rays of super-compressed energy were shot quickly. With Bloed's marksmanship, he never needed more than two bullets to kill an enemy.

Then, the first monster reached them.

"Hey Regina, are you ready?" Bloed asked excitedly.

Regina smiled. "I'm needing a bit of exercise."

"Hahahaha, perfect! Liu Ying, take care of yourself!"

"Don't worry, I won't die before you!"

Bloed grinned and unsheathed his saber.

When the first monster jumped into Leto's back, Bloed took a step forward and

Disintegration Saber!

The monster was cut into two.

Seeing that, Regina did not fall behind. She formed two energy blades in her hands and jumped towards a vulture. The vulture tried to pierce her with its beak, but Regina's activated her anti-gravity device and moved behind it.

With a swing of the energy blades created through her ESP ability [Energy Materialization], the C-Grade vulture could not even to feel pain.

More and more monsters attacked. Bloed continued swinging his saber and moving skillfully between the monsters. Each swing of his saber was a limb cut, and each monster he passed was a life taken.

From time to time, he used his gun to shot the monsters he could not reach with his saber. His movements were so elegant that it seemed as though he was taking a stroll instead of fighting.

To Liu Ying's surprise, she was the weakest of the group. Despite being a powerful C-Rank demon, her battle strength could not be compared to the pair before her.

She could not understand. Her bloodline gave her a powerful physical power, and she felt that her speed and power were greater than Bloed and Regina. But when she finished an enemy, they had killed five each.

It was as though they were an entire level above her.

As comparing a child with an adult.

:p

The Cover is not ready yet. I was very busy last week and failed to make any advances. I'll try to finish it in one week, but I don't know...
