BXBX NOVEL Chapter 91 In Front Of His Eyes
Sonya continued to shoot arrows at high speed. It was as if she was not holding a bow but a rifle with that amazing shooting speed.
Arrows that shot from Sonya\'s bow shattered every debris thrown by the monster\'s tentacles. But the monster continued to create tentacles and use them to keep attacking them.
So the combination of debris and tentacles creates a big obstacle for them to get close to The Devourer\'s mouth.
Rodney continues to lead in front with sparkling eyes because he has found his goal that is so clear in front of his eyes.
There was a yellow light in the center of the circular mouth with circular jagged teeth. There, if he managed to land just three hits - or even less- he would successfully kill that monster and claim his [Title].
Rodney slashed swords at the tentacles approaching from his right and left.
*SRATT!*
*SRATT!*
The disgusting purple liquid oozing out of the monster covered Rodney\'s face and body more and more. The liquid smelled so bad. But Rodney didn\'t see it as something that bothered him.
Eric, Reed, and Mona were also behind him following him faithfully. They sure also face the same struggle.
Their situation who was injured and covered in purplish liquid was not much different from Rodney\'s. They followed Rodney faithfully without questioning anything he did because they had complete trust in him.
For them, Rodney is a leader who can be relied upon. He was also the most powerful of them even though their strength difference wasn\'t that great.
Following Rodney\'s orders until now had always yielded good results. Of course, Rodney also made a shady decision. However, in a world like this, they see it as something necessary.
"Watch out!" Rodney shouted.
From in front of them, a bunch of tentacles wrapped around each other and became one shot toward them. Thanks to Rodney\'s warning, they were able to avoid the tentacles.
*BOOM!*
The group of tentacles crashed into a building where they were previously standing. The building immediately lost an enormous amount of its original height.
"Hang on! We\'ll be there in a bit!" Rodney shouted again.
After hearing his shout they keep moving and don\'t complain about all the attacks that are aimed at them.
Sonya and Asqa - who had come out of her hiding place - saw the four Regressors running across the building to get closer to the monster\'s mouth.
Asqa could judge the situation well and could see that The Devourer\'s attack was now fully aimed at the Regressors who were approaching it.
The tentacles no longer charged toward the two of them. The giant yellow eyes were no longer directed at them as well. It was directed to look at the four Regressors who were getting closer to that spot.
"Are you alright?" Asqa asked when she arrived beside Sonya.
Sonya, who was busy shooting arrows, flinched when she heard her voice.
"Oh, s-sorry." Asqa feels guilty seeing that reaction.
Sonya breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that it was only Asqa who had come out of her hiding.
She nodded. "It\'s alright."
Sonya then proceeded to shoot her arrows. Several of her arrows hit debris and tentacles that were about to hit the Regressors. Sonya greatly reduced their burden.
"Maybe I should go after them," Asqa suddenly said while looking at the Regressors who were advancing.
"Don\'t be crazy," Sonya said. "I thought you already understood your abilities."
"I thought I could help those who were getting hit," Asqa said.
"You don\'t have to bother with that. They didn\'t ask you to go there, did they?"
After thinking about that for a few moments, Asqa agreed with what Sonya had said. She had previously thought of using her powers to heal them.
However, even though her stat has been maxed out she cannot match their strength which is focused on fighting ability. So the possibility of her getting hurt will be greater if she follows them.
The side of her heart that wants to help others says to follow them and help if someone gets hurt.
However, the other side of her heart which wants survival screams louder and pushed away that wish.
So Asqa decided to stand next to Sonya and watch the Regressors from a safe distance.
"We\'re almost there!" Rodney shouted then jumped towards a huge tentacle that was reaching towards them. His three friends followed behind.
A tentacle shot out suddenly from under Rodney. He belatedly noticed the tentacles and immediately felt panicked.
\'Fuck! Even though I just need a little more!\'
Rodney cursed in his heart while staring at the tip of the tentacle that almost hit his body.
*CRAATTT!!!*
However, an arrow flashing with a bluish light came from behind and instantly destroyed the tentacle.
Rodney immediately felt relieved. Sonya saves him just in time. He owed his life to her, but that wasn\'t enough to stop all the plans that were already in his head.
Rodney jumped through the debris after getting past the tentacles. The Devourer\'s mouth was right in front of his eyes. The mouth opened showing the way to the terrible abyss.
Rodney activated [Skill: Sword Slash] and slashed his katana blade toward The Devourer\'s mouth opening.
A crescent-shaped black slash with a total length of five meters shot out from Rodney\'s sword and shot toward the center of the circular mouth.
"Cover me!" Rodney shouted while turning towards his comrades behind.
Eric, Reed, and Mona nodded and immediately carried out Rodney\'s order. They spread out and protect the tentacles and debris that might lead to him.
"GRRRHHHH!!!"
After Rodney\'s strike hit the center of The Devourer\'s mouth, the monster let out a very powerful growl sound.
With them this close to its mouth, the impact of the growl was so painful.
Their heads ached, their hearts pounding so fast. They find it difficult to maintain their footing on an already fragile basis.
But they knew they couldn\'t fail now. So they tried hard to survive in the midst of that enormous pressure.
Rodney knows that his strength is far greater now than when he faced The Devourer for the first time. So he will need less damage to kill the monster.
After better controlling himself from The Devourer\'s growl sensation, Rodney continued his attacks.
He jumped over the tentacles and debris then activated [Skill: Sword Slas] again.
The crescent-shaped slash shot out with incredible speed and aimed straight for the center of The Devourer\'s mouth.
Rodney who saw it grinned with shining eyes as if he could already see the victory before his eyes.
However, Rodney\'s expectations were canceled by the group of Tentacles that suddenly gathered in front of his Sword\'s slash.
What happened next was something obvious. The black slash smashed into the cluster of tentacles and sliced several of them.
However, it wasn\'t strong enough to break through all the tentacles that had gathered and formed several layers.
Rodney\'s slash shattered before it managed to destroy all the tentacles. Making his attacks pointless and his hopes that were already soaring high plummeted.
"Shit!"
Rodney immediately jumped in to get an even better footing.
This time it was more difficult for him to get footed because the amount of debris was already very low and the monster had already pulled its tentacles to protect itself.
Rodney jumped so he had to fall a little further down. Rodney also had to concentrate so he didn\'t hit any debris or slip so he fell head first.
His friends who saw the situation had changed immediately scattered and secured themselves.
"What happened?" Mona asked in a panicked tone.
"I saw Rodney\'s attack hit a bunch of tentacles," Eric replied.
"So his attack failed?" Reed asked.
Eric nodded briefly.
Reed sighed. "Where is he now?"
They spread their gaze amidst this steadily rising rain and debris. Until finally Mona managed to find the whereabouts of Rodney.
"He\'s there!" Mona pointed with her hand.
Eric and Reed followed Mona\'s direction and saw Rodney on the side of a building that was about to collapse.
Rodney seemed to be looking up and ignoring the rain falling on his face.
"He\'s fine," Reed said in a relieved tone.
"GRRHHH!!!"
The Devourer let out another growl. The Growl had the same terrifying effect as before.
Eric, Mona, and Reed ground their teeth. Due to too much exposure to The Devourer\'s growls, their ears were bleeding and their bodies were trembling even more.
Rodney, who is under it, is no exception. But he was able to withstand the effects of the pain better because he was determined to get the [Title].
His ear was also bleeding a little. But this is better than how he felt in the previous turn because his Level is much higher now.
\'If I manage to land one more hit at that point, I will kill it!\'
With her willpower, Rosney fought back against the pressure of the growl.
A moment later the growl stopped. Rodney immediately took off and jumped again to close the distance and cast [Skill: Sword Slash].
