The moment she was surrounded, Rea retracted her dragon's transformation.
Then, a pair of fox ears came out of her head and nine tails replaced the dragon tail.
This was her Kitsune Form.
Rea smiled when she saw the monsters gathering their Magic Power to shoot her down. It seemed they had sensed her overbearing presence from the dragon transformation had gone, so this was their best chance to defeat her.
But before they could attack Rea, the latter had vanished into thin air.
"!!!" The monsters widened their eyes in surprise. Their senses were tingling and their eyes were sharper than humans, so they managed to find Rea not long after that.
It turned out she had jumped into the air as if trying to escape from the encirclement.
The monsters hurriedly aimed at her and released their attacks.
Rea's nine tails began to extend to the ground and somehow pierced the soil. After that, the tails shrank, pulling her back to the ground.
"!!!" The monsters that attacked Rea were the ones who had ranged attacks. So, they were the ones who were supposed to attack the army.
Now that they attacked Rea and missed, their attacks made a parabolic movement and fell on top of themselves.
*Roar!*
The monsters roared, trying to stop these attacks.
Some of the monsters in charge of their protection leaped into the air and blocked it, but they couldn't stop all of them.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
A series of explosions occurred, injuring more than a hundred monsters.
They all looked at Rea and noticed her cunning smile as if she had just tricked them.
Rea was satisfied that her attacks could cause a lot of destruction around. And before they came up with another way to defeat her, Rea had to keep them busy.
As expected, the moment she clapped her hands, the monsters thought she was planning to use another trick.
So, some of them charged forth, trying to stop her with close combat. This should be enough to give the rest of the monsters time to reorganize.
But this was what Rea was waiting for. A pair of red horns replaced the fox ears. There was no more tail on her back this time, but her aura was filled with bloodlust.
"Oni Form…" Rea muttered inwardly while looking at the incoming monsters.
She saw a wolf monster pounce on her, but she took it down with a single swing. And when she made a full swing until she hit the ground, the soil split and the rocks came out like spikes, showing the strength she put behind that swing.
The monsters were confused because their footholds became uneven, making their aims off.
Rea took that chance to approach them. She slashed one monster after another skillfully.
It was impossible for one to go against an army unless they had a big gap of strength. And she already had it.
The only thing she needed to do was to approach with one of the usable methods. This time, she chose to fight against all these monsters one by one.
She didn't fight a hundred monsters at once, but she fought one monster a hundred times.
Her eyes flashed as she leaped around and cut the monsters, making her way toward the monsters that wanted to attack the army.
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
The monsters were trying to tell each other to stop Rea, but she was simply too strong to be stopped.
Rea killed more than a hundred monsters in just one minute. Every slash she made took one life and she planned to continue doing it to lower their number as much as she could while preserving her stamina.
It seemed that the monsters managed to reorganize themselves in this situation. It was surprising, but Rea also felt something fishy.
There was no way these brainless monsters could do it. Even Rare Class Monsters didn't have the ability. Only if they had multiple General Class Monsters or a King Class Monster could they do something like this.
So, Rea started gathering her Magic Power around her body, providing an extra layer of protection.
Though, it also drained more Magic Power and slowed down her speed. This allowed some of the monsters to catch up to her and surround her.
Three monsters attacked her at the same time. Anna made a swift swing to hit these three monsters in rapid succession, but due to the extra protection, the last monster managed to stop her even though it cost him his entire paw.
"…" Rea clicked her tongue. She knew that it would be impossible to kill them easily anymore. However, this was necessary.
So, Rea decided to regain some distance so that she could gather some momentum.
She jumped back before leaping into the air to trick the monsters again. But before she changed into the Kitsune Form, she received a new form of attack.
"!!!" Suddenly, Rea felt a few Magic Power fluctuations. She glanced to the side and found multiple red lights appearing next to her.
'This is…' Rea gulped down, feeling danger coming from these lights. Her gut feeling actually linked her brain to the video Theo sent to them.
Everything passed so fast, so she didn't manage to confirm whether the lights were the power of explosions or not. She only trusted her instinct which was moving her body to create a barrier with the help of Genbu.
The barrier was made of turtle shells and blocked the explosions.
*Boom!*
Those lights exploded at the same time, producing a huge black smoke in the air. However, a green light came out of the smoke, falling to the ground away from the monsters.
Rea shook her body as if she was trying to get the feel of her body again. At the same time, she raised her head and saw how her barriers cracked.
'Seriously?' Rea confirmed it now. She looked back at the monster army and found several red colored Magic Power.
The humanoid monsters that carried the power of explosions had come, but their number was far less than she expected.
"They have appeared."
