Chapter 19: B-Class Monster Attack!

“Leo, let me show you my strength. Next time, I will definitely not lose to you.”

Yuris drew his sword and infused it with magic, instantly igniting it in blazing flames.

“Five Element Slash!”

With a sweeping strike, flames, gales, waves, thunder, and earth spikes surged forward, drowning the surrounding space in violent energy, leaving the ground riddled with holes.

The wind wolves howled in agony, one after another perishing, as over ten wind wolves were wiped out in an instant.

On a distant hillside, Nathan and a few others appeared. They had been secretly following behind, observing their strength instead of staying in the village as they claimed.

“As rumored, mastering five elemental magic sword techniques, how could such a person lose to Leo?”

Nathan looked at Yuris’s performance with some confusion.

“Although I watched that duel, I didn’t quite understand it. Perhaps Leo will use the same sword technique now; let’s wait and see,” Heles said with anticipation in her eyes.

The ground began to writhe, and a giant serpent emerged, spitting out gold. “So that’s why you chose this level of difficulty for the mission, huh, big sister?”

“Your entrance is still so disgusting,” Mona complained.

“No, I just picked the wrong mission sheet, haha!” Heles laughed to cover it up.

……

“Magic sword techniques? Not bad.”

Leo had never learned magic sword techniques, but there was a course on it at the academy, so there were plenty of opportunities to learn.

Yuris was not weak; not only could he use five elemental magic sword techniques, but each one was quite powerful. He had been defeated before he could fully unleash his strength during their previous battle.

One could only say he was unlucky; he had never seen Leo’s swordsmanship and didn’t know how to respond.

Even if they fought again, Leo was confident he could take him down cleanly.

The five raging energies continued to sweep forward, and the wind wolves behind opened their mouths, forming a wall of wind to block the energy’s advance.

Then, a large number of wind blades swept in from all directions, surrounding Leo and the others.

“Sanctuary deployed!”

Michelle held her holy staff, and a forbidden domain appeared, acting like a wall that kept all the wind blades at bay.

“Body enhancement, speed boost, strength boost…”

Then, Michelle cast a series of buffs on Leo and the others.

Strength surged within them!

Leo felt his body become lighter, and his strength nearly doubled.

“Slow, physical defense weaken, magical defense weaken, damage double…”

At the same time, a series of debuffs were placed on the wind wolf pack by Michelle, making the agile wind wolves feel as if their bodies had become several times heavier.

As expected of Michelle, with such enhancements, they were not afraid of any number of wind wolves.

“I’m going in too.”

Leo couldn’t wait to test his current strength.

He took out his sword, which was slightly different from an ordinary knight’s sword; it had a curve, like a knife, but with blades on both sides.

“Heartflow – Continuous Slash!”

Leo suddenly dashed out, charging into the wind wolf pack, and sword light flickered as one wind wolf after another fell.

He rampaged through the wind wolves, each one falling with a single strike.

In a short time, a clearing was made around him.

With ample defense, Michelle unleashed offensive magic; the air around them dropped sharply, and ice arrows formed, shooting out in all directions, striking vital points, causing groups of wind wolves to fall.

It was a one-sided crushing victory.

“These newcomers are amazing! It won’t be long before they catch up to us.”

Mona, a mage, was very impressed by Michelle’s magical abilities.

“After all, she’s a candidate saint; Michelle’s strength is probably more than this. To put it another way, these three have already surpassed the range of geniuses and can be considered monsters.”

Nathan focused intently on the battle, realizing that they wouldn’t need to intervene at all.

“Awoo!”

The wind wolf leader roared, and several D-class wind wolves immediately charged forward, suffering from Michelle’s magic and then encountering Yuris’s magic sword techniques, losing half their number before falling to Leo’s sword.

The wind wolf leader personally charged in, racing forward like a gust of wind, its figure almost impossible to catch.

Michelle tried to apply negative buffs to it, but it easily dodged due to its speed. She had to cast a wide area of negative buffs to slow the wind wolf leader down enough to catch its figure.

“Boom!”

The wind wolf leader spat out a ball of wind, creating a loud noise that tore the ground apart, leaving a pit.

Seeing this, Michelle cast Sanctuary on everyone; the wind ball landed on the protective shield of the Sanctuary and surprisingly did not budge at all.

The wind ball’s power was comparable to that of a cannonball, continuously bombarding the ground where Leo and the others stood, leaving no intact ground.

With Michelle’s defensive magic, Leo could attack with confidence, charging directly at the wind wolf leader.

The other wind wolves immediately tried to protect it but were dispatched by Leo with a single sword strike.

The wind wolves looked down on this human who dared to provoke them, transforming into a gust of wind as they charged at Leo. In the next moment, it seemed they could already see the scene of blood-soaked claws.

The eyes struggled to capture the movement of the wind wolf leader; even if they could, it would be difficult to inflict damage.

Relying on Yuris and Michelle’s wide-area attacks might pose a threat to the wind wolf leader, but it would be hard to kill it.

Leo closed his eyes, and the surroundings slowed down; the wind wolf leader’s movements seemed to be frozen.

In the blink of an eye, Leo’s body shot out, brushing past the wind wolf leader, his hand raised as his sword fell, and a blood arrow shot out from the wind wolf leader’s neck, its body collapsing to the ground.

One strike to kill; even against a C-class monster, it was a one-hit kill.

“Although it’s not as miraculous as that one sword strike, this performance is still quite stunning,” Heles commented.

“Is it over?”

Dealing with over a hundred wind wolves was still somewhat challenging for the three of them. Yuris surveyed the surroundings; there were still a small number of wind wolves left, but even after the wind wolf leader’s death, these wind wolves did not retreat.

“It’s coming!”

With the clarity of his sword heart, Leo saw a massive creature charging in the distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground shook violently, followed by a deafening roar as a huge figure fell from the sky.

Leo and the others finally saw the true form of the monster.

It was a Rock Eater! This type of Rock Eater fed on minerals, had a very hard body, and was around B-class in strength.

“How could a B-class Rock Eater appear? Is the information from the academy inaccurate?” Yuris was somewhat puzzled.

“This is probably the real test,” Michelle said seriously.

It was not a test at all; this was merely Heles’s deliberate concealment. Leo had long anticipated that Heles was not taking a simple C-class mission, but at least a B-class one, wanting to use this to gauge their strength.

He couldn’t be bothered to expose it.

“Sanctuary!”

The Rock Eater leaped down from the air, and Michelle quickly deployed her defense.

The Rock Eater landed directly on the shield, roaring continuously with its mouth wide open, and one could clearly see its drooling fangs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Rock Eater swung its hammer, striking the shield, creating a series of violent sounds.

Crack!

The shield began to crack, slowly shattering, and the three were immediately exposed to the Rock Eater.
