It is a panda, panda monster with diamond-like skin. I am sure its Deedee because only she could come out of Rhea like that.
I felt a little confused about two things before quickly understanding them.
When deedee was a stone panda, she was nearly five times taller than her above two-foot tall size and the second thing is her strain.
If she had activated the dormant higher strain in her body, she would have become Iron Panda but she, not an iron panda.
She is Mutated, sometimes when leveling up stages instead activating higher strain sometimes monster activated mutated strain.
Ashlyn mutation is different, she is born mutated. There are many things related to monsters that shocked one to the core sometimes.
Although every mutation brings good qualities isn't true, sometimes abilities of monsters regressed in mutation but clearly in DeeDee's abilities had taken a huge leap.
Despite being an initial level of Corporal grade monster, she was able to stop the blow of strong mid-level Corporal monster head on without getting injured, that is a testimony of her new abilities.
Stone Panda's are an average monster but looking at the performance DeeDee's diamond form, she can definitely include in the elite monsters list.
''Growl!" The monster growl in frustration seeing its attack had failed and attacked again but this time rhea had come to herself and charge toward the monster.
As she charging toward the monster, I notice that there is a faint layer of diamond skin flickering on rhea on rhea body.
I got quite surprised seeing that, when DeeDee was a stone panda, she didn't give rhea any power except for enhancement in strength and defense but looking at a layer of diamond on rhea skin, I am sure rhea got diamond skin ability from DeeDee this time.
I sucked a deep breath at that thought, she was already powerful, to begin with, and now gaining diamond skin, a top defensive ability, she had become even more powerful.
I really want to see how powerful Rhea had become now that she had leveled up to Corporal Grade.
''Bang!" Rhea crashed with a yellow lightning tiger head on, although she had taken steps back after clashing still clashing with minster head on without receiving injuries shows her formidable offense and defense.
Even I when fighting against the monster front of me did not clash with the head on. I always use my shield and whenever I used my sword for defense, I used in a way that I receive minimum damage.
Normally everyone does that, monsters strength is always two or three times more than humans but we used artifacts, skills, and our intelligence to beat them.
Rhea probably clashing against it head on because she wants to test her strength otherwise, she wouldn't have asked DeeDee to stand by.
"Thud!" The in yellow lightning tiger fell on the ground withering in the pain as it was dying due to blood loss.
''Growl!" ''Growl" the Corporal grade and Specialist grade both monsters growled in anger seeing their kin fell.
Corporal grade yellow lightning tiger had rushed toward me but it stipped by Rhea in midway.
"Growl" it growled at rhea fiercely and attack her but she countered its attack effortlessly.
Like me, rhea's normal attack cant heavily injure the Corporal Grade Yellow lightning tiger but she used skill, she can definitely kill it with the power of the third strike.
She could have easily killed right after leveling up but she is using it, dummy, to get control over its strength, when she felt she had enough, she will kill it using the skill.
Now I have only one monster to kill and I am confident in killing it within half an hour.
''Slice! Slice!" I keep attacking but other than normal wound nothing happened to the monster, only using skill can I do any real damage to them but to use a skill I have to wait for fifteen minutes more.
"Growl!" feeling frustrated that any of its attacks aren't landing on me, it attacked me again.
Despite its ferocious attacks, I am easily able to dodge its attack because of supreme combat exercise.
Earlier when used skill, like before I kept circulating supreme combat exercise and refining mana.
Just like when I use the skill before that, I felt pain as if thousands of hammers striking inside my head but rushing power of skill had diverted my mind from pain or I would have directly fallen unconscious.
When I check which moves of supreme combat exercise I reached after performing the skill and I was quite surprised to find out that I advanced four moves and my circulation had reached.
I am so happy knowing this, not because I advance four moves again but I had found the new way to advance moves of my supreme combat exercise.
I know it will not be forever as supreme combat exercise advances, so is its pain as it will be many times worse than hammering headache that I feel using the skill.
I just hope that with this method, I will at least able to create the fourth seal.
''No, I don't need help!" I said DeeDee had come closer to me and asked if she could help me beat this monster.
Ever since she leveled up, she only had a chance to attack one time and Rhea took over and asked her to stay put.
And when she comes to ask if I need any help, I also declined her request. Poor DeeDee she had just leveled up a but did not get chance to test her powers against monsters.
If was fighting three monsters like earlier, I would have accepted her help unhesitantly but now I can kill it in a few minutes after I used my skill.
''Thud!" I heard a loud thud, when I looked up I found that Rhea had killed the corporal level monster by piercing its skull.
I should also finish this fight soon! I thought, twenty minutes had already passed since I used my skill last time, its time to kill.
''First tide!" I shouted and the power of the first tide started to run into my body.
''Slice!" I attacked its neck with power first tide it dodged an attack by its neck and it landed on its back.
''Second Tide!" I shouted and my power increased one fold than the first tide, this I will definitely kill it with the power of the second tide.
''Puchi!" I pierced its neck directly, it tried to dodge it but my sword was to fast to dodge it.
"Thud!" it fell into the ground as removed the swords from its neck, I finally killed three mid-level Specialist grade elite monsters with my own.
