Chapter 352 Now it's my turn
Jian covered his eyes with his hand because he couldn't bear to see the sight. He so badly wanted to laugh, but he knew when to control himself, or else he would probably be the first to get beaten up before they even reached the monster lord.
He cleared his throat and glanced into the distance. Kyle and Bia swiftly dodged the countless attacks. The duo was completely successful in their task. So much so that it was almost pitiful to watch.
The many people around him also watched with stunned expressions. The ones who knew about Kyle's history of getting chased around by monsters finally found out that he had a natural talent for it, and the ones who didn't stare at him with respect.
After Kyle and Bia's figures vanished into the distance, Alec and Carcel glanced at the monster lord. There were still a few monsters around the monster lord, but unlike before the open space now felt empty.
The duo glanced at each other, and Carcel took out his weapon before glancing at the people behind him. He was using the same blue spear he got from Kyle. For some reason, he liked this one better than his own.
"Now, I believe we can win the battle without much trouble. So, get ready. After all, we can't let all the hard work that Kyle and Bia put in go to waste."
All the individuals in front of him nodded seriously, and they quickly prepared their weapons. With a gesture from Alec, they left the concealed space.
Suddenly, the monster lord snapped his head towards them, snarling. His eyes widened in shock as he saw the number of people emerging from the shadows. Instantly, he let out a boisterous laugh.
"So, it was all a trick? Did that human think his puny people could take me out?"
Sinon's wings fluttered behind his back and he flashed a grin. He glanced at Jian, who was eager to unleash his high-ranked skills on the monster lord.
The winged demi-human raised his hand and spoke up.
"Let's see who can land more hits on him! Whoever manages to strike the monster lord once will receive one mana stone from the others!"
Of course, no one would refuse free mana stones. They all agreed and immediately went on the offensive against the few monsters surrounding the monster lord.
The monster lord let out a cry and unleashed his most powerful skill, but Mia stepped in. She raised her hand, and a majestic shield materialized in front of her, causing his attack to dissipate upon impact. The monster lord cried out and called for his underlings who were chasing after Kyle, but to his dismay, the human and phoenix had led them quite far away.
Alec, Jian, Carcel, and the rest of the individuals surrounded him from all directions, and his eyebrow twitched violently as a foreboding feeling crept into his heart.
The first one to attack was Alec. He unsheathed his sword and lunged at the monster lord. Immediately, his blade clashed against the monster lord's defenses, creating sparks that illuminated the area. The others swiftly joined in, their weapons and skills combining in a fierce assault.
The monster lord growled in frustration, he raised his paws and attacked back with furious roars but soon he saw the gravity of the situation. After his few underlings died he was practically alone against so many people. He again tried to call for reinforcements, but his underlings were nowhere to be found.
Sinon raised his hand, Carcel who was beside him thought he would use a strong skill, and that's why the prince gave him enough space. Regius also noted the winged demi-human stance, but his eyebrow twitched when he saw Sinon attack.
A waterfall materialized above the monster lord, glistening with radiant droplets that cascaded down upon him. However, the effect was merely enough to dampen his scales.
Carcel glanced at the demi-human speechless.
'If you were going to use such a skill, it would have been better if you didn't use it at all.'
Nevertheless, as a good person, he refrained from voicing his opinion.
Sinon knitted his brows when he noticed a few individuals giving him strange looks. He had been practicing his water-
type skills ever since he found out through Kyle that they were quite useful, but it seemed he wasn't naturally suited for them.
Due to their relentless assault, the monster lord grew more desperate. Ignoring the mounting injuries, he opened his mouth and unleashed a powerful shockwave that reverberated in all directions.
The force of the shockwave pushed back almost everyone nearby. A few individuals who were of (S)-Rank gasped and clutched their ears, unable to withstand the impact.
The ground beneath the monster lord fractured and shattered into numerous pieces. Dust and debris filled the air as he attempted to escape amidst the chaos. However, his injured body prevented him from making any significant movements.
That's why he wanted to scare the people attacking him by eliminating half of them with his skills.
Alec noticed the monster lord's glowing eyes through his hazy vision and raised his voice.
"Mia! Use the shield!"
Mia didn't question him and instantly a shield materialized in front of the monster lord. In the next second, a terrifying beam of light shot through the space and collided with the shield with lightning-fast speed. The shield held for two seconds before crumbling, but it bought Alec enough time to regain control of the situation.
He clenched his sword and unleashed a mighty swing with it. The blade glowed with a vibrant aura as mana tremors rippled through the air. The sword force was incredibly powerful, cutting through the air with an unstoppable force.
As his sword traveled toward the monster lord, a majestic glowing sword materialized behind him. Instantly, a deafening clash resonated through the battlefield. The monster lord cried out in pain, his body faltering as he staggered back.
Alec let out a deep breath, sweat trickling down from his forehead. Carcel gave him a signal and spun his spear in the air.
Instantly, he lunged forward with his spear. The unassuming weapon gleamed and sliced through the air with incredible speed.
As the spear closed in on the monster lord, a surge of energy coursed through it, causing the tip to emit a brilliant glow. With a resounding thrust, Carcel's spear pierced through the monster lord's defenses, eliciting a cry of pain.
The impact of his attack sent shockwaves through the battlefield, causing the ground to tremble.
Jian's eyes twinkled with awe.
"Now it's my turn!"
He moved forward, ready to unleash his most powerful skill. However, it seems he was destined to not get what he wanted because Kyle's figure appeared above the growling monster lord.
