"This energy... A monster?!"

The members of the Wingless Crow, Third Head, and her forces stared at the figure who was releasing immensely heavy energy.

"A monster? This level is dangerous..." The man with long muttered in disbelief. The pressure brought by best feram of this monster actually made him feel danger.

His situation was dangerous. He was fighting the girl to a standstill and if he added this monster... He knew that he would suffer a defeat. He also used his [Element Drive] and a quarter of his mana.

But he still wasn\'t sure if this monster would attack him.

The other members of the Wingless Crow also stared at the lone monster in the sky. They were all at One Shackle Realm yet they could feel a chill in their hearts. It was like a knife was already on their neck.

"Why did a monster of this level come here?!"

They thoroughly checked the dangerous beings in this place. The only fourth stage monster in Mine Valley was the one living in the river on the east edge. That one was a gigantic alligator, not a humanoid one.

Even though they coveted the treasure guarded by that monster, they still didn\'t fight it. Why? Because that alligator was unbelievably strong. A monster at the high rank of fourth stage. Plus, if they wanted to fight that monster they had to go through a bunch of higher third stage monsters under its wings.

Yet, this one was different... A humanoid monster was dangerous. Especially, if it reached a high level. Its intelligence would be equal to or even surpass some humans or demis.

"Seventh Head...?" Third Head widened her eyes in surprise. She recognized the appearance of the figure floating below the dark ominous cloud.

Wait! How?

In the meeting, she felt mana oozing out of him so she thought that it came from demi. So how?

Did he use a monster potion? No, from his looks, he didn\'t feel the strain from using that potion.

She felt a thick fog cover his image in her heart. He became so mysterious. First, his powerful subordinates and their strange ability to morph. And now...

She didn\'t know how to describe her feeling. She felt that Seventh Head duped everyone from Dragon Council.

Souta looked down at the city. His eyes scanned it and he counted the total number of enemies.

While they were surprised at his appearance, he slowly raised his hand.

[First Form: Mahayana Tribulation]!

Thunder roared within the dark clouds. The deafening sound reverberated throughout the entire city. It felt like the sky was angry at everyone.

The next moment, black lightning struck down and heavily smashed the members of the Wingless Crow.

Rumble! Rumble!

Even the man in front of Third Head was blown away. They couldn\'t react in time as the black lightning descend once again.

BAM!!

The lightning continued to strike every members of the Wingless Crow. Alice and the others had long retreated and he also recognized Third Head\'s subordinates by looking at their armors. So he didn\'t accidentally attack them.

His attacks were concentrated on the group called Wingless Crow. The people that assassinated the envoy of Mine Valley. They were also the ones who plotted the attack back in Bland City.

"ARGH!!"

Miserable cries echoed as some of the enemies couldn\'t handle the pain brought by the black lightning. They were just One Shackle Realm and the skill that Souta used was an Archetype.

After reaching 49%, the attack power of his Archetype had increased vastly. He even guessed that if it reached 50% these guys would disintegrate immediately even if he stayed at his current power level.

"NO!!! STOP!!!"

They cried out as their skin started to melt. Their equipment cracked and was about to break at any moment. As for those who had orange grades, they lasted for a little longer.

BOOM!!

A large bolt of lightning descended causing everyone who was watching to cover their ears. Even the sound it produce wasn\'t ordinary, it contained energy that could potentially shatter their eardrums.

Souta looked down and snapped his fingers. The blood that dyed the city moved and it quickly enveloped the members of the Wingless Crow. In their current condition, they wouldn\'t be able to gather enough strength to free themselves from the blood seal.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed and Souta quickly moved his body to the side. The energy blade flew and it cut the dark clouds in half.

Swoosh!

Strong... Souta shifted his gaze. A man with long blue hair was looking at him with unbound rage. This man was quite strong considering that he achieve Two Shackles Realm. He must be the leader of this group.

But it wasn\'t a problem. Souta was still at his peak yet this guy fought Third Head and got caught off guard by his [Mahayana Tribulation].

Souta moved his hand once again and a sea of blood tried to swallow the leader of the Wingless Crow.

Swoosh!!

"You\'re underestimating me!!" The leader roared as he threw dozens of energy blades at the sea of blood.

The energy blades evaporated the blood but another lightning bolt descended from the sky. The black lightning struck fiercely.

Boom!!

\'I must capture this man.\' Souta\'s figure blurred as he instantly appeared before the leader. He wrapped his finger around the handle of his sword and pulled it out of its sheath.

Ohm!!

The moment he pulled out the sword, various spells and combat arts were activated. The Second Mode was used.

Souta knew that he had to overwhelm this guy before he could react to his skills.

"W-What?!" The leader of the Wingless Crow endured another bolt of lightning. Then, Souta appeared before him so he wanted to launch a powerful attack. But his body felt a heavy gravitational field tighten around him.

Bang!!

He instantly felt goosebumps all over his body. The floor beneath his feet turned into a black mud as various tentacles rose and wrapped around his legs. Then, seven humanoid shadows tightly hold his body together as black mist enveloped him along with droplets of blood. This black mist even lowered his strength just a little bit and various white webs struck his body to restrain his movement once again.

All of this happened instantly. He didn\'t even regain his senses when Souta attacked again.

[Fifth Form: Rage of the Thunder God]!

Souta thrust his sword which was infused with black lightning. The black lightning rushed forward like a tidal wave.

"ARGH!!"

The leader of the Wingless Crow shrieked as the black lightning swallowed him.

BOOM!!

Everything was perfectly executed. Souta used every opportunity and swiftly according to it. He even used the weakness of his opponent.

\'It should be fine now...\' Souta looked at the smoke.

He moved his hand once again and used various skills to capture the leader. He was careful. After all, this guy was Two Shackles Realm no matter what happens. If given an opportunity, this guy could show a burst of strength and escaped from his grasp.

Cough! Cough! The leader coughed a huge amount of blood. He felt a stinging sensation all over his body and he could barely move his hands right now. No, he could move his hands but he was bound by various abilities.

His pupils shrank when he saw the humanoid monster in front of him.

"You!! Why are you in this place, monster?!"

"Me? Oh, I forgot to tell you that I\'m Seventh Head of the Dragon Council." Souta chuckled as he examined the man before him.

Alice, Eztein, and the rest arrived beside him. Souta asked them to gather the rest of the Wingless Crow. They haven\'t killed them. He just took their strength to leave this place. With their condition, he doubted that they could leave this city under the watchful eyes of Astros and Third Head\'s forces.

But that doesn\'t mean that they had zero chance so Souta had to seal them in a sphere of blood to lower their chances.

"What do you want from me?" The leader glared at Souta.

\'What do I want?\' Souta stroke his chin. He glanced at the leader and asked, "Is this everyone in the Wingless Crow?"

"Yeah, it\'s everyone." The leader said.

Souta nodded before he walked away. The leader who was bound by webs, tentacles, gravity field, and tentacles followed behind him.

Souta glanced at the system. He completed Quest 1 and as expected, this wasn\'t a simple matter.

*Ding!*

[You\'ve completed Quest 1!]

[You\'ve received 1,000,000 experience points, 10 free attribute points, and 5 skill points!]

The condition to complete Quest 1 was to find the people that killed envoy. He didn\'t have to fight them but he captured them so that he could gain enough information.

Quest 2 was such a problem. He needed to operate once again.

[Unknown] Quest 2: An unknown group was hiding in the Hall Plains. Find information about them.

Rewards: 10,000,000 exp, 10 free attribute points, and 5 skill points

Gathering information. He didn\'t need to directly clash with that unknown group. Well, even without a quest Souta would still try his best to gather information about the organizations in the Hall Plains. It\'s better if he had information so that he could prepare.
