Chapter 154: Group Dive

"Alright, Darren, focus your fire on any beast that breaks off from the pack and keep them in front of us. Henry, use your water to handle the monsters far away."

Jason gave his orders and he began walking forward without bothering to know if they would listen or not, but the other two quickly fell in line as they drew on their gifts. Darren arranged his drones in a straight line and he began ordering them to fire quick blasts that tore through the air and struck true against the monsters!

Twoom! Twom! Twoom!

Each blast was a red outline of pure energy and the spider-monkeys could barely react before they were assaulted mercilessly! Each blast was enough to kill a D rank and cause serious damage to a low-level C rank, but the monsters here were around C rank, so it only caused limited damage to them! But that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt them!

Each laser blast caused enough pain in the monsters that forced them away from their position and made them head back towards the rest of the group to them from circling the superhumans!

Henry drew on the water in his bottles and they surged to his side like miniature tidal waves! He spread his arms and divided the water into hundreds of smaller particles before he squeezed his hands into fists and forced the water to freeze into icicles! The icicles had sharpened edges and Henry didn’t hesitate to thrust them forward to attack the spidermonkeys that were further away!

Woosh!

The icicles flew forward like bullets and since Henry was a C rank as well, his ability was more than enough to hurt them! The icicles dug into the skins of the spidermonkeys and they all cried out in pain as they suffered serious injuries!

The spidermonkeys in front of the pack kept running forward without bothering to look back and see what was happening, but they were stopped in their tracks as they saw Jason heading for them with one hand in his pocket. Jason had a bored and nonchalant expression on his face, and it looked like he was about to do his taxes rather than fight in a Red Gate!

The spidermonkeys recognized the nonchalance in Jason’s eyes and they saw it as a form of mockery! The monsters weren’t smart enough to recognize how outmatched they were, so they screamed in anger before charging him!

Slash!

One slash of the sword was all it took, and three heads fell to the ground! Red blood dripped down the edge of Jason’s sword and Jason flicked it calmly to get rid of the dripping blood before he turned to the remaining monkey and continued walking once again.

The spidermonkeys all screeched and screamed in fright when they saw how easily their brothers had been killed and some of them turned and tried to run!

Slash!

Jason continued his killing spree without bothering to take his second hand out of his pocket! Darren’s magic lasers continued their assault on the fleeing spidermonkeys and forced them to return to Jason’s path and Henry kept firing his projectiles to injure and kill as many of the spidermonkeys as he could!

The three superhumans had never worked together before, but Jason’s orders from before the fight began had changed everything! The existence of a clear attack pattern allowed them to focus on doing one thing very well and this meant that none of them were getting in the other’s way! Both Darren and Henry recognized that they were only working this well because they allowed Jason to take command!

There were a lot of spidermonkeys, but Jason could tell nearly immediately that they were nowhere near as powerful as the Moonlight Wolves he fought in his first Red Gate. They had high agility and stamina, but their durability and strength were absolutely horrible. The spidermonkeys used a combination of webs and rocks to attack Jason from a distance while clinging to the trees and Jason dodged around the attacks easily as he simply continued killing any monster that got too close.

The spidermonkeys finally seemed to realize that they were seriously outclassed after more than twenty of them had been killed and Jason watched in slight amusement as they began trying to run away into the forest.

"I got this!"

Darren suddenly shouted from behind Jason and Jason turned to watch as all the drones flew towards the fleeing monkeys! The drones opened a compartment located under them and many tiny balls fell out into the forest below!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The forest suddenly lit up in massive explosions that shook the ground under their feet! The fleeing monkeys were forced back into the clearing as the flames from the explosions surged to life and Jason couldn’t even hide how impressed he was.

’What else can these drones do?’

Jason was curious about the drones, but he put that thought to the side for now since the spidermonkeys were back in his path once again. Jason finally took his second hand out of his pocket and he summoned the A rank dagger that he had used in the Orange Gate. He held the dagger in a reverse grip while keeping the sword in his right hand and then he shot forward to meet the spidermonkey!

BOOM!

The ground under Jason’s feet rumbled from the force of his movement and the spidermonkeys couldn’t even react before Jason was right on top of them!

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

Jason danced across the battlefield like a silver whirlwind! Jason was still not a professional fighter by any measure, but there was no need to be a professional when your opponents were this much weaker than you! Jason simply slashed through the air anytime a spidermonkey was close to him and it didn’t take any effort for him to kill it!

Blood arced through the air like a waterfall and it wasn’t long before the cries of the beasts died down to deafening silence. Jason stood in the middle of more than twenty dead beasts and he looked around emotionlessly at their corpses.

Jason released a calm sigh before turning back to look at the others.

"That was awesome, boss!"

Darren shouted in praise as he waved his hands excitedly and Jason just chuckled as he turned to glance at the siblings who were still standing at the side. Ricardo had a grin on his face, but Rosa was giving Jason more a calculating look, as if she was trying to figure out something about him.

Ricardo clapped his hands once more as he looked at all three boys.

"That was very good, bratza! There aren’t any more beasts in this area, so we’ll be diving deeper into the Gate! Maybe we can even find and kill the boss before the other teams reach us, bratza!"

Darren grinned excitedly and Henry nodded along while cleaning some sweat that accumulated on his chin. This was the first time that Henry would be going into a Gate, so he was losing stamina a lot faster from using his gift. Henry looked over at Darren and he frowned when he saw that Darren was not as tired as he was. But it was understandable since Darren wasn’t an emitter like him. Even though it was a very unique case, Darren was a supporter type whose powers centered around technology, and sending his mana out to the machines was not nearly as exhausting as emitting your mana and using it to control water. Darren would feel a lot more mental fatigue from using his gift than actual loss in stamina.
