Chapter 452: Apex predator.A group of 9 people fully equipped in armor were running above the speed of sound. The man led the group to 'clear' the way, and the girls were following behind the man in a straight line to catch the wind tunnel and not get caught in the wind or get tired unnecessarily.As the man was the one with the most stamina due to his special condition, he promptly volunteered to go ahead."Eleonor, a pack of the Behemoth class in front of us.""Yes." Eleanor looked at the girls with her monster eyes, and the girls nodded their heads as their eyes slowly changed to become similar to Eleanor's.The sclera of Eleanor's eyes were completely black, and her pupil was as thin as a reptile and green in color with golden undertones."Conflicting in 3... 2... 1... Now!"Victor suddenly stopped running along with the girls, and the first thing the group saw were 20 gigantic monsters, all of them over 10 meters tall, while some even reached 20 meters in height.Assessing the situation quickly with his eyes, Victor said:"Three high-level Behemoths, the rest are all low-level."This simple information was enough for Eleanor to act."Dorothy!" Eleanor pulled her greatsword from her back and positioned herself with one hand."I'm Ready." Dorothy took her two black swords from her waist and quickly jumped into the air.Eleonor placed her greatsword on Dorothy's foot, and when the girl stepped on the greatsword, Eleonor threw the girl towards the monsters over 20 meters tall."Anrietha.""I'm done." Anrietha, the woman with long brown hair, spun the priestess staff and hit the floor."!@#$%" Words in an unfamiliar line are spoken with gentle intonation, and soon the entire group glowed with brown power.'...I can't get used to this feeling of getting stronger all of a sudden, it's very... Weird.' Victor thought as he opened and closed his hand.Anrietha, who was flying in the sky, was also hit by Anrietha's power, and her speed got faster, as the sounds of air breaking several times were heard.

'Give me you Head, piece of shit!' Dorothy thought.The smile on her face was quite intimidating as a kind of red aura came out of her body.She spun in the air, and with a clean cut, she cut off the monster's head... Well, at least she tried, the only thing that was damaged was her armor.ROAAAAAAAAAR!The monsters had been alerted, and now they were heading towards the group.Anrietha, who increased everyone's strength, appeared in front of the group while holding a giant shield and a greatsword in her other hand. The weight of these weapons, along with her armor which was even more robust than the group, was unbelievable. Only a vampire like Anrietha could wear it and not feel any weight at all."@#%#" Again, she whispers an incantation under her breath, and the black shield in front of her begins to glow, the shield is enveloped in a layer of red power, and soon that power explodes.ROAAAAAAAR!The power seemed to draw the monsters' attention, and soon even the monster that was focusing on Dorothy turned its attention to Anrietha.Looking at the woman in front of him, Victor thought:"This armor is stronger... How far are we from home?" Eleanor asked when she saw Dorothy fail her sneak attack."20 KM." Judy, a woman with long blue hair, spoke in a cold tone as she took the giant rifle-like weapon from her back and pointed it at the monster.Her eyes became sharp, and when she deemed it necessary, she pulled the trigger.Bang!The rumbling sound of a gun was heard.A hole was made in the head of the monster that Dorothy failed to kill."Tsk." She clicked her tongue in annoyance. As they got further and further away from the city, the sneak attack she and Eleanor always made was starting to fail. She quickly used her two swords and pierced the monster's heart, effectively killing the monster.Soon after, Dorothy jumped on the back of one that was heading towards the group and used her two swords to attack the eyes of the monsters that didn't have a protective shell, while she jumped from monster to monster as if she were dancing on the battlefield."You're doing a lousy job, calm down a bit, this is going to happen more often than you might think." A long-haired, blond-haired woman appeared near Dorothy."I know, Juliet." Follow current on novel-online.com
"Good.""Get back to the group, the assassination job is up to me." She disappears into the fog, her eyes starting to scan the monsters' bodies."..." Dorothy didn't say anything as she picked up her momentum on the closest monster and moved closer to the group.'Let's eliminate the most problematic first, the one that can summon a horde of monsters.' Her eyes focused on another 30 foot tall monster.When that monster was about to scream, she slashed its throat with her daggers."GGRR?"And quickly, she drove the daggers into the monster's brain.The monster didn't stand still either, it used its claws and thorns to expel Juliet, but the woman just took her daggers and disappeared into mist and appeared in the air.She put away her daggers and took the large black bow from her back, she made a pulling motion on the string, and an arrow made of pure power was made."Two Down." She released the arrow, and the arrow split into four more arrows and pierced the monster's head and heart."Eleanor." Victor spoke when he saw the creatures getting closer,"I know." Eleanor stomped on the floor heavily.Quake, quake, quake.The ground started to shake, and rapidly a wall of more than 20 meters tall was built around them.Victor looked at the wall, and cold air started to leave his body, soon the entire wall was covered in ice.BOOOOOOM!The creatures crashed into the wall, and Victor saw a small crack in its ice that quickly regenerated.'My ice is not common, as it is made by my power, it is much more resistant than diamond itself, and even so, these creatures are managing to break it.'Victor began to realize that the further he got from the city, the harder it became to kill the monsters since his powers stopped having an effect like in the beginning. The lightning and fire didn't even seem to have an effect on the monsters, the only powers that still worked completely were the power of blood and of water.Thanks to his training, Victor was able to manipulate an individual's water, effectively killing them, but as they were immortal creatures, doing so was virtually useless, so he only temporarily immobilized the monsters.

The further away he got and encountered stronger Behemoth-class monsters, Victor was forced to use his powers more for support.Of course, against minions, his elemental powers were extremely efficient, he could burn an entire horde of minions, and that would give the group 1 or 2 minutes of breathing space.The powers that Victor was using the most when fighting these monsters were combined powers since he had realized that if he covered his Odachi with elemental power, he would still be able to kill the monster faster.Because of that, he used the power of lightning more, this power increased his speed to absurd levels, and if combined with Odachi, the power to 'cut' became ridiculous, and he cut these hard monsters like butter."…Ahh~." He can't help but flash a big smile.'This is indeed the best playground.' Victor looked like a kid who found his favorite amusement park."Martha, Alexa, it's your turn." Eleanor ordered while not taking her eyes off the monsters."Yes!" X2Martha, a woman with long brown hair and brown eyes, was the first to go. Using her Knights Halberd, she jumped towards the monster.Her arm started to become more monstrous, and that power started to go towards the Halberd, soon, the Halberd that was completely black created green 'veins' all over the weapon.Arriving in front of the first monster, with a big horizontal swing, she split the monster!The swing was so strong that the ground was cut, and the depth could not be seen.Next up was Alexa, who positioned herself like she was about to throw the Spear that was her main weapon.The spear started acting weird, it started to grow and become sharper, and when it was 3 meters long, she threw it at the other 20 meter monster.The Spear traversed the creature's entire body, effectively killing it.As Spear was about to hit the ground, Alexa appeared and grabbed the spear's handle.Again she threw the spear at the other monsters, and when the spear went through all of them, she appeared next to it and grabbed the weapon. She spun the Spear around to get the nasty blood off and repositioned herself, then disappeared again."That speed... Isn't it on par with me without using lightning power?" Victor commented.….....
