Chapter 86 Monsters
"I guess he can't hold back anymore huh?" Muku spoke while also looking at the leader, who was creeping in on the battlefield unnoticed by Jack's group and was completely focused on their opponents.
"I'm surprised it could actually hang on this long when we're hiding out auras. I thought it would pounce right in" Chloe replied.
"Even when a beast can't sense your aura if its instinct is strong enough, it can sense that there's danger close by", Jade spoke up as if defending the beast.
Whoosh!
Before anyone could respond, she was gone.
Bang!
"Howl!"
The wolf leader howled in pain as it was punched in the gut by Jade who suddenly appeared beside it. It was thrown a few metres back.
"Wow, their defence is really good. I thought that bunch would at least break a couple of bones, but it only threw it back", Jade said while staring at the beast that was getting up.
"Growl!" The wolf leader growled threateningly but was actually stepping back rather than forward. When it was looking at Jade who had only released a bit of her aura, it felt like it was looking at an insurmountable mountain. It got the urge to prostrate in front of her but it managed to resist the urge.
"Well, I didn't know you were actually a chicken instead of the wolf", Jade said while walking toward the wold leisurely.
"Grrrr" The wolf's eyes were immediately covered in anger, it was as if it understood what she said and couldn't take being looked down on so much. Its body was immediately covered by a layer of brown earth from top to bottom, its eyes red with anger. Even its aura increased by a bit.
"Well, it seems the little chicken wolf actually has a bit of guts after all", Jade added to her mockery, not influenced by the wolf's enhanced state.
What she didn't know was that when the wolf entered its seemingly berserk state, it affected the wolves behind her that were fighting Jack's group. They were also powered up, although they didn't get the earth armour. Jack's group, which was barely holding on, was immediately overcome.
Crackle!
"What's wrong? did something go wrong?" Emily asked with a bit of worry in her voice.
"It's nothing much, I just realised I can only have one spell from each element, so I had to choose between the spikes and the amour. I obviously chose the spikes since I didn't have long-range attacks. I'm just disappointed that I had to waste a perfectly good core to find that out" Jade explained why she looked disappointed.
"Oh, it's just that?. Although it sucks but it also makes sense, your class can't be too broken after all. Now let's continue the journey; we've delayed enough," Muku spoke, then went back to the track. Everyone did the same; Jack's group could rest while they continued the journey.
Although they met more beasts on the way, Muku's group took care of them this time. So they didn't need to stop the trucks as the beasts were killed while still a distance away. This sped up the journey.
At this point, Jack's group was numb to anything Muku's group did as they wouldn't be surprised if his group could even affect the weather at this point. Which they didn't know they actually could to some extent. If Chloe or Layla were to use their strongest spells right then, someone from Jack's group was likely to have a heart attack. Some things just shouldn't be done by humans...
....
Around an hour later.....
"That's our destination huh?" Muku asked no one in particular while looking forward.
There were four broken-down silos around a kilometre away from them. Rice grains were all over the place. But luckily, the silos weren't completely broken, which meant some of the rice was preserved under the rubble on top.
"It would be great to have something to go with the meat instead of eating by itself all the time. Even if it is super tasty" Hope spoke her mind, looking forward to having some rice after almost a month. She never thought she'd ever miss rice, but there she was.
"I just hope there really are unranked beasts as we were told" Emily was more worried about her sister's matter.
"Don't worry about it; I think you'll like what we find when we get there", Jade replied to her while looking forward, but the way she was looking, it seemed like she was looking beyond the silos...
...
{Why do I feel slightly uneasy?}. Inside the truck, Audrey thought to herself.
It was the first time she felt like this ever since she reached Rank Two. But she couldn't pinpoint what was causing the feeling so she ignored it while staying vigilant. Since she didn't know why she was feeling like that, she didn't bother telling the others.
