Ugh!
A large amount of blood came out of Yanagi's mouth. Her whole body was full of blood and her right hand didn't have any skin left.
"Hehe, that monster is really powerful..."
She chuckled as she wiped the blood on her mouth and looked at her blades. Everything was shattered. All the orange grade blades were completely gone and it was beyond recovery.
"To think that this monster is capable of destroying seven orange grade weapons in just one attack is out of my expectations... If my weapon's grade is lower then I would have died."
Yanagi stood up with shaky knees. She could barely stand after she received that full-blown attack from a fifth evolution monster. At her condition, even B-rank would be able to defeat her as the protective field of her body was completely broken.
She was at her weakest point.
"I'm quite lucky... If I didn't have my weapons then I would surely die."
She thought that maybe it was the time for her to find a weapon that was higher than orange grade, the red grade. But red grade weapon was extremely rare in this world and most of the people that owned one was powerful.
...
"Fuck! I succeeded..."
Algard muttered with heavy breaths. He succeeded in deflecting the [Bestrou] of the Great Berserk Kohima using his dark grade staff. The most fortunate thing for him was that he didn't suffer any heavy wounds. He could still move and gather his mana. Nothing change for him except for the bruises on his body.
"Still, I now know the reason why that monster changed its attack direction at last minute..."
He could sense that people at his level and above him have arrived in this place and that was the reason why the Great Berserk Kohima changed the direction of the three [Bestrou]. If that monster shoots those three at him then the possibility of him surviving that attack was low. Also, even if he survived he would suffer heavy wounds and will not be able to keep his life.
...
"Fucking bugs!"
The Great Berserk Kohima roared angrily. The people that arrived were powerful and judging from their auras they could fight him on equal grounds. It would be fine if it was a one-on-one battle but the powerful people that arrived were ten and according to humans and demis' terms, they were at SSS-rank and Hero-rank.
"At the very least I killed some of them."
He glanced at the injured Yanagi Shina. Most of the people that were around her had perished. Those shackled realm experts were quite helpless against his [Bestrou].
His eyes flashed with green light as his body exuded a green gas that slowly spread in the entire area.
[Poison Desolation]!
This was one of the trait skills he gained after evolving for many years. Although the effect was quite slow it would be enough to take down another fifth evolution monster if they inhale a lot of his poison gas.
His poison wasn't that lethal compared to other poisonous monsters but the antidote to his poison was pretty rare than the others. Some of humans and demis cure spells didn't even work on his poison.
The Great Berserk Kohima looked at them with fierce eyes.
"The monsters here are quite lenient compared to the monsters in Dark Forest. You humans and demis are afraid of them, those ancient monsters."
He then turned around and left the area leaving the poisonous gas in the air. He knew that this gas will kill some of them and he remembered all of their faces.
Thud!
Bryan fell down on the ground and looked at the Great Berserk Kohima's retreating figure. The last thing he heard before he lost his consciousness was Eunice, Lumilia, Lynn, and Alea's worried voice.
""Bryan!!""
They shouted but Bryan didn't hear them anymore as he reached his limit.
"Hmmm...? That's a Great Berserk Kohima..."
A tall elf with long blonde hair glanced at the figure of the monster. He was holding an exquisite bow in his hand which was exuding a fearsome aura. This bow was a dark grade equipment and he was one of the military commanders of Eternal Empire.
He was dispatched here to deal with the Bentley Family but he didn't expect that he would meet a fifth evolution monster. Luckily, the monster didn't fight them or else they would suffer heavy casualties.
He glanced at the elderly man behind him and said, "Minister Eldein, please..."
The elder elf nodded his head and a blue orb appeared in his hand. It was a dark grade equipment too and this elf was the Minister of Magic in Eternal Empire.
"I will disperse the poisonous gas so you guys should capture Algard..."
With a wave of his hand, a powerful mana swept out in the surrounding area. It was followed by white smoke which pushed the green gas away. Slowly the green gas was pushed a hundred meters away from them.
"Let's stay here for a while. I couldn't completely disperse the poison gas of the Great Berserk Kohima. It will take a few hours before it disappeared so I will erect some wards to prevent us from inhaling that poison gas."
The Minister of Magic said. If they leave this place then the poison will attack them so it's safer if they stayed here for a while and wait for the poison to disappear.
"Still, I didn't think that Algard would do something like this... It placed the empire in a tight position against the adventurers."
...
One week had passed in the blink of an eye.
The incident regarding the Bentley Family became a hot topic in the whole Eternal Empire. Algard, the Head of the Bentley Family, was captured and was sentenced to imprisonment for two hundred years. His wealth was confiscated by the government and once he got out of prison he will be forced to do labor for another fifty years.
Even then, most of the people thought that it wasn't enough. For all the things that he did, he was just going to prison. Actually, the Adventurers Guild wanted to take Algard's head for torturing their fellow adventurers but the royal family protected Algard. Algard was one of their people and they were the ones who's going to decide how to punish him. It was their responsibility, not the Adventurers Guild.
The Adventurers Guild was a force to reckon. They were a continental organization that could be found anywhere in this land. They were also a master in hunting monsters as their archives were even larger than the large countries.
Even though they were a huge organization, the royal family didn't give Algard to him. After all, the Bentley Family did help the country a long time ago.
Lumilia and Lynn were inside a room in the royal palace. They were here because of Alea. Alea used her authority to get Bryan the highest medical treatment as he was one of the victims of this incident.
One week had passed yet Bryan didn't show any sign of waking up. The doctors and healers gave him treatment so that he could survive without eating.
"The doctors said that Bryan will wake up soon. It will entirely depend on his mental health." Lynn said in a low voice. She glanced at Lumilia who was looking at the window before she added, "Should we inform Souta about it?"
Lumilia shook her head and said, "We shouldn't as it will only burden him. Let's report it once Bryan woke up. We will deal with the problems here so that Souta and Alice could focus on the problem there."
"Ah, yes... Souta just encountered a war in sub-world." Lynn nodded as she lowered her head.
"After this, we should expand our legion and I will focus on reaching A-rank then we will try to conquer some dungeons here," Lumilia said while rubbing her chin.
"Me too... I will try to reach A-rank and learn some fighting skills so I could defend myself. I'm ashamed that I'm always the one being protected. Even without a teacher that could help me master my god's eye, I will delve deeper into this ability of mine." Lynn said.
"I don't like it but we're getting left behind..." Lumilia sighed as she turned around and looked at Bryan.
Bryan's name was cleared after the incident. The Bentley Family was the one who framed up Bryan and this information was released in public.
Still, a lot of people were amazed at him. To think that he would fight the Bentley Family and hold his ground against them. Also, his barbarian bloodline and magical human bloodline were discovered. They didn't expect that a person could hold this much bloodline power without decreasing its strength. It was like a pure breed of barbarian and magical human was forced into one person.
His bloodline power was even stronger than half-barbarian and half-magical human.
But this would bring them trouble...
"I should prepare myself."
Lumilia said as she narrowed her eyes.
