BXBX NOVEL Chapter 92 The Blazing Centipede
"Jason, don't let the Centipede get near to us!"
"I'm doing my best, we have to increase the damage output!"
"Jessi, use your whirling arrow on the right arm..."
Fein looked at the coordinated group in front of him. As expected of the elites the human race has. They are properly trained to deal with this type of monster. If not for the overwhelming might the Centipede possessed they might have the chance to slay it. He couldn't help but look at the corpses. It reminded him how fragile human life is. This elite has undergone countless battles, trained with their sweat and blood. But in the end, they still died. Fein felt sad at the cruelty of life.
In this World, weakness is a sin. You can only survive by taking the matters into your own hands. A cruel World that has a competitive society. That's why Fein always strives to become stronger.
'I wonder how strong these elites are?' Fein looked thoughtful and decided to use his probe ability.
A gust of wind appeared beside him. He saw Aoi descend along with Sofia and Voli on its back.
"We're too late," Sofia said as she looked at the group. She finally manage to ease the churning sensation on her stomach.
Fein nodded and says with a bitter smile. "Let's help them, but let's plan first... We don't know what we're facing."
Fein is always rational when it involves their safety. Although the group of five are also humans. For him, they are nothing but strangers. He won't easily risk his life and friend's safety for a bunch of people that he hasn't even met yet. Yeah, it was indeed cold, but if it was the face of survival, there was no such thing as right and wrong. Do you still care about morals after you died?
He would only help others when their safety is guaranteed. He's not the naive bastard that he was when first came to this World. Even Fein was scared at his own changes, but he knew that it was necessary and inevitable. Good person dies early on his last life, unlike what they portray in the movie where Villains die early, only by being in the middle could you go toe to toe in the face of cruel World.
Sofia just shut her mouth and fell silent. She wants to immediately help the five, but she wasn't that dumb. The Centipede manage to kill three elites and injure the others showing how terrible its strength was.
'Probe' Fein called out in his mind. Although he looked rational and calm. Sofia can see Fein's tightly clenched fist and the protruding veins. She knew that even though Fein looked presently aloof and indifferent on the outside. But on the inside, he also wants to help right now. He was only burdened by responsibility. One wrong decision could cost the life of his companion. Sofia understands his feeling right now. That's why he was currently planning the best course of action even though the group of five would fall any time soon.

Fein shuddered after seeing the dazzling S letters on the Blazing Centipede status.
It's no wonder that the group of elites was having a hard time coping with it. He suddenly wondered, S-rank golden beast is already this strong, how about S-rank Legendary beast?
He turned his head to the human side and probed them.

'Damn, as expected of human elites. One shouldn't really underestimate them. It seems they still have some chance to escape.'
Fein looked at the white-haired female S-Rank degu user holding a wind bow on their backline. She wore a green hat on her head, and her glossy white skin and curves were being emphasized by her light green dress.
This is his second time seeing an S-rank human. After all, Lucius is a Dhampyr like Sofia. though her base stats weren't up to par with her degu amount.
So these are the geniuses of Human Kingdoms?
Now he knew why they say that monsters in the same realm are stronger than humans. And it seems that it was more terrible than he thought.
What's more unfortunate thing was, that the Monster is a golden beast only lower than legendary. Fein was also surprised that there are two swordsmen within them. One was only 1 lvl lower than his swordsmanship.
Now, Fein decided to help them. After all, if he combined their strength they may have the chance to defeat the Blazing Centipede.
...
The fight between the Blazing Centipede and the Human Group became even more intense.
Elena looked at the Blazing Centipede with despair.
How unlucky are we to encounter a Gold Type Beast?
When they first step into the Monster World the eight of them were still full of confidence. Each of them is geniuses carefully nurtured by respective kingdoms and countries. Countless people looked at them with worship and respect.
Now only five of them were left. She couldn't forget how her three other companions died with regret in their eyes, as they were screaming, asking for their help. But the five of them can't do anything, they didn't even know if they would be able to survive this.
This is a big loss to humans. The humans have invested all their resources in these elites because they are one of the future pillars of humanity in the fight against the demons. But now, just like that, all of them would die.
"All of you! Make way!" A determined light flashed in Elena's eyes. "Divine Arrow!"
Ryu, Sova, and Redriff quickly followed Elena's command with familiarity.
