*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
"Stop her!"
One of the King Class Monsters shouted in anger as they had a hard time besieging another King Class Monster.
This might be the difference in their power, especially considering their target was a successor of a Saint.
Her combat prowess far surpassed a normal King Class Monster.
"Haaa!" Ava let out a cry as the lightning around her started to gather and form a sphere. The sphere suddenly expanded, pushed, and electrocuted everything it touched.
The ground was charred by the intense lightning, the trees were shattered by the spark, and a King Class Monster had his hand almost disintegrated by this lightning sphere.
"Kh…"
The King Class Monsters were glaring at Ava, never thinking she would be this strong. Theo could fight against two to three monsters of the same level without a clone. Although Ava wasn't as strong as Theo, she still managed to hold back four monsters of the same level.
However, it came with a price. Ava had been using a lot of her Magic Power.
There was only half of the Magic Power remaining in her body. If this continued, Ava would be defeated within half an hour.
Ava glared at them, not scared of their attacks. She also picked up a lot of noises from their surroundings.
With just a glance to the side, Ava could see the unique monsters taking on the humans.
It was Ergene.
She commanded a lot of humans skillfully to the point she managed to force the enemies to use all their strength to stop her. Ergene even commanded them from the front as she had to fight these monsters herself in order to cause more damage.
Ergene released all her potential in order to strike them.
As a result, she was covered in injury as she took down five unique monsters by herself. Luckily, the injury could be treated by Aisha. So, Ergene could utilize her strength without any worry.
It could be said that without Ergene, Ava wouldn't be able to stop these four monsters by herself.
Unfortunately, the longer the battle went on, the more disadvantageous the situation was.
Ava looked at the four King Class Monsters. She had spent a lot of Magic Power to injure them. One of them couldn't use his left hand anymore, another one had a whole paw obliterated, and two of them suffered many superficial wounds.
Still, she wouldn't be able to kill all of them no matter how hard she struggled. So, she was waiting for the reinforcement.
"Attack her!"
The four King Class Monsters released their Magic Power again while approaching Ava. They tried to surround her this time.
The one behind her was the first to make his move. The monster charged forward while putting the Magic Power into his horn. He had a body similar to a rhinoceros. The Magic Power was amplified inside the horn as it shot a lightning bolt at Ava.
Ava turned around while putting her paw right at the lightning. The moment the latter hit her paw, it got scattered as if lightning couldn't injure her.
However, the rhinoceros already knew that it was impossible to kill Ava with lightning. So, this attack had a different purpose.
The lightning he shot was quite powerful and thick, so when Ava scattered it, each part was big enough to cover Ava's vision.
This way, the monster in front of her could take advantage of it and approach Ava.
"It seems I have been underestimated." Ava frowned. Even though she couldn't see anything, her ears could pick up the sound.
The moment the monster reached her, it struck Ava with all its strength.
Ava used her other paw to stop this attack, catching the monster's hand.
"Heh… Of course, I know that you are strong enough to handle this." The monster suddenly smirked as he suddenly grabbed Ava's paw with his other hand. Even the one caught by Ava's paw suddenly tweaked so that it could hold Ava's hand.
"!!!" Ava widened her eyes and glanced to the side. She realized that these monsters were just trying to hold her back so that the other two could injure her.
Without hesitation, Ava suddenly released a powerful lightning spark from her paw.
"Aaaaahhhhh!" The monster that held her hand was screaming in pain. However, his grip wasn't weakening.
The monster gritted his teeth while smiling. "Come on. I can hold on!"
There was an advantage when fighting in a group. And this advantage was shown by the monsters.
One or two of them could easily sacrifice themselves in order for the others to attack. And since their vitality was strong as a monster, they were most likely to survive the attack.
Even if Ava could use her feet to stop the other two, it wasn't enough because her body was locked by these two monsters.
Ava gritted her teeth, trying to find a way to escape. She had gathered the Magic Power in her belly, planning to release another lightning sphere to kill the monster next to her. But it would mean she discharged another twenty percent of her Magic Power, leaving her only with thirty percent of her peak Magic Power.
This was the sacrifice she had to make if she wanted to survive here.
So, Ava took a deep breath as the lightning started sparking all around her body.
But before she could release that energy, the sky suddenly split as light illuminated Ava and the monster next to her.
"Huh?" The monsters were confused, but Ava could feel someone's presence.
"I'm going to die!" This was what the monster thought before he hurriedly let go of Ava's hand, trying to get away.
He was lucky that he managed to stay alive, but suddenly, the ray of light fell on top of his hands and cut them both.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!" The monster screamed in pain as he didn't know what had just happened.
"I'm sorry for being late." A deep voice echoed in Ava's ears. It was easy to recognize this voice.
Ava smiled and glanced to the side. "Well, better late than never. Glad to have you here, Felix."
Yes, the one who had just come was Felix. He nodded his head with a calm expression, staring at these four monsters. "We'll split them. Since I'm still fresh, you take the injured ones. Leave those two to me."
"I guess." Ava smiled, knowing that she was in no condition to argue.
