Since the raid began, they’ve only encountered F and E-rank beasts. This would’ve given them some sort of relief, but that would’ve been before Sonra gave her speech.Since then, they’ve been hoping to meet a D-rank, but now that one has delivered itself right in front of them, they were beginning to wonder if they stood a chance.The beast in front of them could best be related to an about four-meter tall fox, completely covered with black furs, while possessing three long furry tails. It had deep yellow slitted eyes which held animosity for the humans in front of it.From its presence, anyone skilled enough could tell that this wasn’t just a regular D-rank beast. It seemed stronger.Excitement grew within Art causing a big smile to creep on his face as he unsheathed his sword and the life steal dagger.Finally, a powerful opponent was before him.After being starved from letting loose for over a month, he could barely control himself. The fight would judge whether he would be using

Art stared at the person who just arrived, standing not too far away from Caitlyn who lay unconscious.This was the first time he had seen this person, but he could immediately tell that he was strong and dangerous.It seemed that he had tried to kill the D-rank beast just before it vanished, and if he hadn’t sent that attack, he would have succeeded.The boy who was older than Art by a few years had a constant natural flow of killing intent, and it was in fact scaryIn his current state, it would be best to avoid any kind of confrontation, but that would become inevitable if he tried to hurt the defenseless Caitlyn.Art clasped the hilt his weapons tighter, just in case.“Oh!...That expression…That fighting spirit…That will to protect…WONDERFUL! You are the one I’ve been searching for. Truly…,” his eyes narrowed with a wider grin as his killing intent rose. “I have to unalive you.”“This is bad,” Sonra muttered, wondering how she could handle this situation.“What do you mean? Who is

“Asura!!!” Uramia screamed approaching the group she almost wiped out.‘Was she the one who attacked us? That would make sense. But why?’ the party leader thought easily recognizing the person moving towards them.Uramia had adoration in her eyes while approaching Asura, popularly known as the lilac ice queen.She was the only female ranked above her, that Uramia could stare at with such expression in her eyes.“What was that about,” Asura asked with a neutral expression. If she had miscalculated the amount of mana needed to be put into the spell she cast, her party members would’ve been in a dire situation.“A-Are they people over there?” their party leader asked, not very confident.Uramia didn’t like being casually spoken to by people she considered weak, but since they were party members of Asura, they ultimately had her respect.“Yes,” she nodded. “They are at the other end of the attack. Two elite members are there, as well as a former elite.” ‘That’s quite the gathering,' thei

'They blend in so well. But it’s futile against me,' Art thought, staring in front of him at the many beasts attached to different trees. Their physiology wasn’t something he could compare with any creature he knew from his former world. They were pitch black in color, and the thing that would’ve given them away being eyes that would most likely glow at night were absent. It seemed that they relied completely on her senses to hunt down their prey. It would be impossible for nearly anyone at the students' level to spot them in the darkness by normal sight alone. Their abdominal region was slender, but they had very broad chests and two arm-like structures that were serrated and moved like whips. Their heads were about the same size as a human's without eyes and nose, and they lacked legs, having a tail just like a certain half-human, half-snake myth. From the way they moved, it was clear that they had very flexible bones or none at all. Their movement failed to pr

Art narrowly dodged the horns of a beast that charged at him.He had been hunting continuously without rest for the past four hours, so the time now was around midnight. During this period, he had successfully killed 5 D-rank, 72 E-rank, and hundreds of F-rank beasts, as well as harvested their cores. Adding D-rank cores to his collection was truly satisfying. He was currently fighting against a D-rank beast, which was a six-foot-tall deer with multiple sharp horns.He could be considered the bad guy here since the deer was sleeping peacefully when he picked up a fight, and honestly, he was regretting it as the exhaustion from all the continuous fighting was taking its toll.His movements were getting sloppier, and he had narrowly escaped getting stabbed several times. Since he had no sort of protective gear on, he couldn’t risk that happening. At a point, he tried making a run for it, but the furious beast relentlessly chased him, so there were no two ways about this. One of them
