Chapter 68 - Battle for the Mystical Light Cherry: [Monster Orb Release]

"Bryan, you can go now!" Souta shouted. The clash between his group and the other people that were after the Mystical Light Cherry was inevitable.

He got worried because of the people who killed those monsters. But now, he thought that he doesn’t need to worry about it.

He then turned his head to Jusmin and said, "Protect her. It’s going to get chaotic now."

Justin nodded her head and she pulled Cl.u.s.ter to her chest.

Souta jumped above the tree and saw that a lot of people were coming. The fight broke out in all areas.

...

"Ah!" Bryan charged towards the adventurers as soon as Souta gave him the signal.

Swoosh!

He gathered his mana on his fist and shot a powerful punch.

The adventurer saw it. He grabbed the axe on his back and swung it towards Bryan.

Bang!

Both of their attacks collided causing the earth to shook.

Another two adventurers moved their body and appeared in both of Bryan’s side. Both of them quickly pulled out their weapons and waved it towards Bryan.

Clang! Clang!

Bryan saw a figure in front of him. It was Fred. He smiled and said, "Thanks!"

After Fred blocked those attacks, Fred stepped forward and slashed his sword.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Every time their weapon clashed, sparks flew out.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Fred’s sword skill was overwhelming the two adventurers in front of him. He waved his sword with a speed surpassing the two adventurers.

"Guh!"

"Argh! This guy!"

The two adventurers could only defend with their life on the line.

...

Bryan looked at Fred who was fighting two adventurers at the same time. He lifted up his hand and casted several spells.

[Lightning Edge]!!

[Lightning Boots]!!

[Scorching Hand]!!

Lightning crackled and flames rose up covering his hand.

"Okay, let’s do this." Bryan smiled.

The adventurers pulled out their weapons and their mana flared up. Three of the quickly ran forward in the direction of Fred. These three wanted to help their comrades to defeat Fred.

"I won’t let you," Bryan said as he disappeared from his place.

Crackle!

He appeared in front of the three adventurers.

"Attack him!" One of them shouted and launched his sword skill.

[Sword Slash]!!

The other two followed suit and executed their own skills.

[Glittering Slice]!!

[Darting Stab]!!

Bryan moved his body left and right dodging the attacks with a speed that they couldn’t comprehend. He then proceeded to punch the three adventurers in the face with his [Scorching Hand].

"That’s the high-level spell [Lightning Boots] and [Lightning Edge]!!"

One of the adventurers recognized the spell that Bryan used. They subconsciously took a step back.

The leader of the group of adventurers was a young man with long black hair that was tied in a ponytail. He has fox ears and tails.

The leader took a step forward and brandished his sword. He controlled his mana and poured it in his sword.

Swoosh!!

He instantly appeared in front of Bryan and swung his sword.

"So fast!" Bryan quickly reacted and he moved his body sideways. He then lifted up his feet and launched a powerful kick at the leader.

Bang!

The leader blocked it using his free hand and once again swung his sword towards Bryan.

Swoosh!

Bryan swiftly moved his hand in front of him and the sword and his [Lightning Edge] collided.

Bang!

Both of them took a distance to each other.

"You’re strong. I can see that you’re an adventurer. What’s your rank?" The leader asked.

"You’re crazy strong too. But I’m just an E Rank." Bryan replied with a smile on his face.

"With your strength, you’re just an E Rank. Why don’t you join us and I will help you rank up to D Rank?" The leader opened his palm and he invited Bryan to join him.

"Unfortunately, my answer is no," Bryan said.

"That’s really unfortunate." The leader said and he dashed straight to Bryan.

Bryan lifted up both of his hands and clashed against the leader.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Lumilia who was in the back lifted up both of her hands above her head. Her magical power rose up to the peak.

The leader stopped for a moment when he felt Lumilia’s mana. He looked around and saw her in the back.

"Stop her!" He shouted while pointing his sword at Lumilia.

Suddenly, a fist crashed into his face.

Bang!

He flew away and crashed in the tree.

"You should focus on your opponent when your fighting someone," Bryan said.

The other adventurers snapped out of their dazed and dashed towards her.

"I will help you." Souta, who was observing the other battles in the area, looked down at Lumilia. He silently casted [Shadow Bind] to stop the movements of the adventurers.

Swoosh!!

"Argh!"

"What’s this?!"

The adventurers panicked when their shadows suddenly bind them.

"[Freezing Point]!!" Lumilia finished casting the high-level spell that she was preparing.

The temperature suddenly drops and the wind blew strongly. The ground started to turn into ice and all adventurers turned into an ice sculpture.

Bryan stopped moving and looked at the scene with wide eyes. He was shocked that the area around him turned into ice.

This was the power of a Tier 2 spell. Everything around Lumilia turned into ice except her comrades. Precisely it was one hundred meters around her. The spell even stopped the other fights in the area around them.

Lumilia fell down on her knees. The Tier 2 Spell [Freezing Point] drained almost all of her mana in her mana pool.

"As expected of class rep, she have Tier 2 Spell in her sleeves," Souta muttered. Even he doesn’t know any Tier 2 Spell. All the spell he had were only a Tier 1 Spell for his Low-level Class.

He then casted the spell [Shadow Spike] to broke the ice.

Bang!

The spike pierced through the body of the people that were turned into ice. It painlessly killed all those people without even fighting back.

Souta shook his head as he heard several system prompts inside his head.

"Now, that the fight here concluded, let me see the Mystical Light Cherry."

Souta stood up while patting his clothes. He looked at the Mystical Light Cherry from his position and saw that it was still there.

The [Freezing Point] spell didn’t even leave a scratch to it. The Earth Crawler Ape protected the cherry from any harm.

Souta called Bryan and let him see the Mystical Light Cherry.

"I want you to steal the cherry when there’s an opportunity," Souta said to Bryan. He looked at Fred and said, "The butler and I will distract the Earth Crawler Ape later. Lumilia, you stay with the maid and Cl.u.s.ter. You will immediately take them once Bryan got the cherry."

Souta explained his plan to them. He and Fred will distract the Earth Crawler Ape while Bryan will steal the cherry. The plan was to let the Ape fought the other people first.

"Do you have a question?" Souta asked as he looked at their face one by one.

Lumilia shook her head and went beside Jusmin and Cl.u.s.ter. She doesn’t have much mana left, so Souta left her with Jusmin and Cl.u.s.ter.

"Yuko, you stay with them and don’t let anyone approach them," Souta said to Yuko.

"Mu." Yuko lowered her head in front of Souta.

Souta smiled and he patted her head. He knew that she wanted a pat when she lowered her head in front of him.

"Good girl."

...

Roar!!

The Earth Crawler Ape roared loudly and it shook the whole area. The ape emitted a reddish aura and the orb on its chest glow brightly.

The reddish aura swept out like ripples in the air.

All the people who felt it stopped for a moment. This energy was different from mana. This energy was much more destructive and violent than mana.

Yuko felt fear looking at the Earth Crawler Ape. The Ape was finally using its beast energy.

"This is Best Feram." Fred shuddered when he felt the beast energy in the surrounding.

"The legendary energy of a monster that’s more powerful than mana that we, humans and demis, use," Lumilia muttered while looking at the ape. Her instinct was telling her to run away.

"This is really something else." Souta smiled wryly looking at this scene. This made him want the monster orb more. He was truly looking forward when he formed his own monster orb and use the beast energy.

The Beast Energy was suppressing the mana in the whole area. It made the people, who had low control in their mana, hard to cast a spell.

The Earth Crawler Ape roared once again and the orb in its chest emitted a black line. The black line stuck on the body of the ape and it became a black tattoo. The air of the ape was continuously rising without stopping.

"Oi! It’s even know the [Monster Orb Release]." Souta said as he gripped the [Vajra Sword Saya] on his waist.

[Monster Orb Release] was a skill of a monster that releases the full potential of the monster orb. The overall stats of the monster will drastically increase once they activate this skill.

Roar!!

The people who were near the ape felt the suppression in the air. They started to tremble as fear and despair seep in their hearts.

The ape turned its head to the people who were fighting the Wood Eater Apes before.

Thud!

The ground shook slightly every time the ape took a step forward.

"No way..." They could only watch as the ape approached them slowly.
