Chapter 15 99 more kills!?
Chapter 15 99 more kills!?
On the third floor...
"Well, this could be troublesome". Muku said while looking at the 50+ unranked killer dogs on the floor. They were so many they couldn't fit on the passageway, some were poking thier heads out of the classrooms.
They alone weren't the problem, just him alone could easily deal with them. The real problem was the two meter killer dog that was standing in front of the other dogs. 'Lower stage Rank One' are the words that suddenly came to his mind when he looked at it. Just like when he suddenly knew what a mana core was, it was the same. He suspected that the being behind the scenes had somehow made it that they can automatically recognize some things. As to back his claim, even the girls knew what it was.
The beast was still pitch black like the others. The difference though, other than body size, ranged from black spikes poking out of its back. Crimson eyes excluding intelligence. A body that radiated mana unlike the others. Longer canine teeth and claws.
"You guys take the underlings and I'll take at the big g...Oh shit!!"
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
While Muku while still giving orders to the girls. The Rank One killer dog seemed to run out of patience. And it did something nobody expected. It swiped it's claws in the air and its claws were actually detached from its body and flew toward Muku's group. If Muku didn't hurriedly party then with his axe, he and Emily standing beside him would have been given a few extra holes on their bodies. Even more astonishing was how new claws quickly grew in the place of the ones thrown at them.
"Well damn!, who would have thought, well at least from this I now know to expecting anything from these monsters. Girls, attack!" Muku said while sprinting toward the beast. His body carried forward and made lighter by his telekinesis.
Pwak!
Within seconds he was in front of the beast and his axe falling down on its huge head. But to his suprise, his axe broke without being able to cut the dog.
He quickly stepped back in surprise. That's when he noticed a look of disdain in the dog's eyes. It seemed it already knew his attack wouldn't do it any harm. No wonder it didn't even react.
"Damn, even a beast is giving me a disdainful look now?. Well I'll show you, here I was thinking I could minimise my mana expenditure by using the axe instead of creating swords.". With that said, a silver longsword appeared in Muku's hand as he ran to attack the beast once again. Though this time it didn't passively accept his attack.@@@@
....
On the girls' side.....
Woosh! × 3
With that statement, he creates two more swords, his limit was only three at the time. Made them shoot forward aiming at the leader killer dog's giant had.
"Lets see if you can deflect two at the same time". He said while standing still.
The dog's eyes narrowed but soon a look of disdain appeared in its eyes again. It did something unexpected, stood up in its two hind legs and slapped the swords away. But before it could get down on all fours again, it sensed danger.
Before it could react, Muku appeared just below it, his sword stabbing dip into its throat and coming out through the other side. It seemed the dog's mana and skin that could easily shrug off the axe, couldn't resist a weapon created from the mana of a same level being. Before the blood could spurt out and cover him all over, Muku had already stepped back.
His chest was heaving up and down as he had pushed his telekinesis to the limit to increase his speed. This had taken quite a bit of energy from him.
The dog fell to the ground, chocked on its own blood for a bit before dying, it's eyes full of disbelief. Which made sense really, like how of a human was killed by a chicken, of course they would show surprise in their face as their died.
[99 kills left before Rank up!]
Muku stepped back to the girls' side, his face scrunched down a bit after hearing the message. To get to Rank Two he had to kill 99 more Rank One beings after all. The previous 10 was nothing worth mentioning in front of the new requirements, and he almost died to get those ten too.
As soon as their leader died, the remaining seven dogs got out of their berserk state and quickly turned around to flee.
"Oh no you don't, and now without him in the way I can finally let loose". Seeing the dogs start running away, Jade spoke before disappearing, her speed a lot faster than the one before. She had reached and surpassed the speed Muku used to kill the leader dog. Less than five seconds later Jade appeared again. The dogs were all dead, and unlike the ones who dies before them, their heads were sliced off.
"Gulp, seems she wasn't kidding when she said her base form was an agility type". Emily said with a nervous expression. She just realised that she'd probably be unable to react if Jade tried to kill her. Of course such a day definitely never come, but she couldn't help but think of it.
"Phew, that took a lot out of me, but it was fun as hell though". Jade said, her modest chest heaving. Seems the speed took a lot out of her.
"Good that you had fun, now would you mind looking down at your uniform?". Muku said while looking at her with a smile.
"Huh, what do you...oh". Jade was first confused, but when she looked down she understood. Her originally blue school uniform was now more red than blue in the front area. Even her face had some blood on it. With her smile, she kind looked like someone who fell out of a horror movie. Especially with her claws that were still dripping blood.
"You're sleeping outside today". Muku said with a deadpan expression, while the girls at his side subtly nodded.
