Chapter 118: 112. Protector from the shadows
"Seventh class interns, you were right." Henry said as he panted tiredly.
"Hey, you've only killed two!" Dexter shouted to Henry and Henry smiled bitterly as he looked at his friend who looked like he had tons of energy to continue.
"I'm not very used to using swords. My fists are better but they can't do some decent damage right now." Henry said with a sigh.
Dexter looked at the field to see more than twenty more twice as big, black cows coming and he dismissed his spear and charged towards them.
Lightning suddenly wrapped around his arms and he began to beat down the cows. They were very resistant and didn't even move very much when he punched them normally.
*Bang!*
A punch down to the middle of the cows head stunned it hard before the cow's head for buried in the grass.
Dexter summoned his spear and then he looked at it. see-more-MVLeMpYr
'Assuming I didn't use all my free points to boost my agility and stamina, I wouldn't even be able to land a hit on them.' Dexter thought and he proceeded to killing the other cows and dogs.
Henry saw a large sized chicken heading towards Dexter and he pointed to sword towards the chicken.
The sharp side of the sword suddenly detached, turning into a few pieces and floated beside the sword and the inside extended like rubber, still with its sharp sides floating around the extended part like shards.
The blade pierced the chicken and he pulled it before throwing it off to another direction.
"Seems like you're already getting a hang of it." Dexter said and Henry's sword came back to its original length and the sharp shards joint back together with the blade, forming the same sword with serrated edges.
"We managed to get through that without any injuries." Dexter said and Henry stood up while breathing heavily.
"Hey, Dexter. I finally reached level 20." Henry said as he walked towards Dexter.
"Oh, then you should have a few Job classes to choose one." Dexter said and Henry smiled bitterly.
"I'm wondering what I should choose. What did you choose?" Henry asked and Dexter turned back to him.
"I chose a unique ruler class. Unique classes have more potential but there are requirements to complete before you can use the class. Till then, you're just an intern." Dexter said and Henry nodded in understanding.
"Wait, how do you know so much about them anyway?" Henry asked with a frown and Dexter laughed.
"I played a lot of fantasy games so I know my way around the things relating to it." Dexter said.
As Henry was about to say another thing they suddenly heard a loud screech again and then they saw the giant flame coming towards them and something fast came from behind it.
'Kila, hide with Collins!!' Dexter said in his mind and he immediately pulled Henry down to the ground to hide behind the dead cow.
The giant flame hawk flew past them, making the wooden warehouse almost detach from the floor ad the wind was strong.
Something jumped over them with a growl and then Dexter finally saw what chased the Hawk. If was a large sized cat, looking like a cheetah as the spots on the body and stature resembled that of the familiar creature.
It stopped and it growled while licking it's paws and Dexter tapped Henry before they sneakily tried to go over to the other side of .
The creature already saw them and it turned around towards them with a growl before it let out a loud roar.
The cheetah creature had normal brown eyes and it roared loudly before lunging towards them at top speed.
'Shit, we won't be able to dodge.' Dexter thought quickly and he became scared.
He didn't have a plan for this. He didn't know what to do at this moment other than watch the cheetah close in on them with its wide jaws, he couldn't really do anything else.
Just as the cheetah was about to reach them a golden dome suddenly appeared over him and Henry and the creature's claws clashed with the dome and it stepped back in pain as it's torce reflected on its paw.
As it was distracted the giant hawk that flew passed before passed over them again but this time it scratched the large cheetah creature, making it angry as it let out a loud roar before it jumped over them and immediately chased the hawk.
"Ha..!!" Henry collapsed on the floor as he felt his legs weak and Dexter still had wide eyes as he wondered what the whole situation was about.
"Nice skill you got there bro." Henry jjsaid as he breathed heavily while clutching his chest.
Dexter finally shook head as he came back to reality and he turned to look at Henry.
"What skill?" Dexter asked.
"Isn't this your barrier?" Henry asked as he looked at the barrier which surrounded them.
"No, it's not." Dexter furrowed his brows as he touched it and he noticed that he couldn't pass through it.
On top of a building not far away from the farm, an individual wearing a red cloak had her feminine hand stretched out towards the farm.
It emitted a gold light and the light dimmed as she put the barrier down and waited for the humans she was protecting to come to their senses.
This individual was very weird, even with everything happening, none of the creatures neared her.
Like, as if she was invisible.
...
When the barrier came down Dexter looked around whether he could spot the one that helped them but he didn't find them and he sighed tiredly.
"Seems like someone is following us from afar. They seem to help." Henry said as he tried standing up but failed as his legs were too shaky.
"So someone is following us." Dexter said and his eyes glowed a bright red colour and he couldn't see anything other than Kila and Collins in the distance withing a house.
No blood signatures at all.
'Kila, you can come with Collins now. Be careful.' Dexter said inwardly.
'Okay.'
Dexter's brows raised as he heard a reply and he shrugged while saying, "Nice."
Dexter helped Henry up and Kila soon approached them with Collins and they all made their way to the warehouse.
Dexter walked forward and knocked on the door three times.
He was using his vampire eyes so he could see the people moving over to another corner of the inner room
"No reply? Alright boys, break the damn door." Dexter said with a smile.
