From MC's Perspective:
The dark brown falcon was injured gravely beyond my belief. But the savage aura released from the monster's body is not reduced a bit.
Seeing that the bird monster is not getting up. I charged the black sword with lightning power again.
"Sword Divide," Right after, I released the fully charged lightning beam.
The powerful attack reaches the fallen monster in a blink of an eye.
Boom~
A terrible sound reverberated throughout the area as the attack came into contact with the monster.
The attack pierces through the bird's crown resulting in sudden death. The killing was neat in the end.
After confirming the monster's loss of life, I walked up to the monster. And I began to search for the monster core.
Though the fight ended within minutes. But it created a lot of noise. It would be a matter of minutes before the place was swarmed by the deadly vultures. Which is another worst-class bird-type monster.
Screech~
When I was slicing the monster's body to retrieve the core. A loud bird cry reached my ears. Which has sent chills down my spine. The bird's cry might sound the same.
But I know that probably those deadly vultures already found this place.
Then I hurriedly searched for the monster core. I felt it in the next second. After collecting the core, I got up to leave.
But the next moment, my eyes flickered with a cold glint. I see a huge shadow on the ground just like before.
This time the shadow cast on the ground is different in size. The Deadly Vultures' bald head and hooked claw can be clearly distinguished.
I hope it's not an advanced-class monster.
"Lightning phantom technique, " I uttered.
A purple arc covers both my legs in an instant.
Swish~
Right after, I disappeared from the spot and moved to the area with densely packed trees.
A few seconds later,
I'm able to see the bird monster as it descends on the ground.
[Class-5 Deadly Vulture Monster.]
I'm now able to confirm the identity of the monster. Especially the savage aura leaking out. It's a Class-5 Monster.
A trace of hesitation appears in my eyes.
Should I fight back or head to the nearest teleportation point?
But this is a good opportunity to fight against the Class-5 Monster. While I'm hesitating, the bald vulture already starts to bite down its food.
I let out a long sigh before making the final decision. I gripped the black sword tightly. And at the same time, I noticed my essence reserve.
The lightning essence is not enough to support a prolonged fight. Especially when it comes to fighting against higher-class monsters.
So I have to end it quickly before the fight attracts its companion.
The deadly vulture is within my perception range. Strangely, it hasn't noticed my presence yet. The next moment, the vulture suddenly turned toward me.
Which immediately sent goosebumps all over my body.
"F@ck," I cursed out loud before using the lightning phantom technique.
Swish~
I rushed towards the nearest teleportation point. It must be somewhere near here. I had underestimated the sensitivity of Class-5 Monster.
Screech~
A loud bird cry resonated in the area.
Hearing that I spread the perception around me. I don't think the deadly vulture is considering me a threat.
But the next second, I found I was wrong. The damn Vulture is chasing me from behind.
At the rate of my current essence reserve, I don't plan on confronting the monster head-on. I must find the teleportation first.
Before entering the monster zone, I took notice of a few teleportation points which are located on the outskirts.
But here with these densely packed trees hindering the way. It is becoming quite difficult to look for it.
Unlike the falcon, the deadly vulture is not taking initiative to attack. Is it looking down on me? But the next second, I shook my head in denial.
The deadly Vultures loved to use their clawed toes on their prey. If it was an open field, I would have got attacked right now.
After having this sudden realization, I broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, I didn't let down my guard.
Meanwhile, the deadly vulture is patiently flying above its prey. But the towering trees make it harder for it to dive down.
....
The Metal Faction,
Brandon Hurst didn't wait for three days to end. He already made up his mind to release the news right now.
He understands one thing for sure. Their head Marcus Lin wants a fight between him and Zack Lockwood to happen.
It doesn't matter how many days it would take.
After making the decision, he sends a message to their Head before releasing the challenge post.
A few minutes later,
[The metallic faction- Brandon Hurst issues an official duel challenge to the Special Faction's Zack Lockwood.]
A duel post under Brandon Hurst's name began to circulate online. Shortly after the news spread like a wildfire.
But no one was surprised by the news. As everyone had expected to hear this news before. Now that the official duel post was issued.
Everyone wants to see the reaction from Zack Lockwood. Except for the dean, Rebecca nobody was aware that Zack is training inside the monster zone.
Meanwhile, the powerful trio from the Special Faction came to know about the news.
"The duel post"
"Again?"
"What those faction guys are thinking?" Laverne Morrow said with anger. So much that ice-cold energy is leaking out from her body.
"Calm down"
"Laverne"
Ernest said to her. Besides, Michael is looking at the official post. He was surprised by the Metal Faction's sudden move.
It may look like all other factions are picking on their Special Element Faction. But he knows everyone wants to see Zack Lockwood's bottom line precisely.
Since he had shown that he can defeat Peak Elite Warrior despite being in Elite Initial Stage himself.
Now all other factions would send out their top warriors one by one until Zack tasted his first defeat. Thinking about Zack's situation, Michael furrowed his eyebrows.
