Amon and the girls took out their weapons.
“It’s time to test our lifetime weapons~” With a whip in her hand, Ariel wore a sadistic smile as she looked at the three-horned monster.
“Speaking of which, it’s true~” Barbara took her flexible sword and stroked it gently. It was like a pet to her.
With both hands, Julia held a 180 cm spear. In the air above her head she swung the spear, then she lowered it and held it steady in attack position.
Maisa, during her turn, picked up a sledgehammer that appeared to be small, almost the size of an ordinary 5kg sledgehammer. However, as she wished, the sledgehammer began to grow in size, both the handle and even the sledgehammer’s head.
Amon saw this and had an idea in mind. He used the watch and tried to see the monster information in front of him on a blue screen.
_ _
[Species]: Monster
[Rank]: First Genetic Block level 69.
[Type of monster]: Carnivorous/extremely aggressive.
[Quality]: normal.
_ _
While it didn’t show as much information, it was more than enough for Amon. For him just knowing the level that this monster was was enough.
“It’s only level 69,” Amon said, “You must defeat it without my help.” .
If the girls had heard this not so long ago, they might have felt like cursing Amon, but they weren’t the same anymore. After knowing the monster’s strength, their confidence increased, as did their fighting spirit.
“Only level 69…” Maisa didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She just managed to fill 60 white genes and only 50 were water genes. For her it was a huge challenge. Of course, she wouldn’t be fighting alone.
“Pay attention, Maisa.” Barbara placed the flexible sword in her other hand and used her now free hand to tap Maisa on the shoulder.
Maisa looked at Barbara, then she nodded. “Uh-huh.”
“If you’re scared, you can leave that monster to me, you know~” Ariel was fearless. Of course she knew she had little chance on her own, but she liked to challenge herself as much as possible; only then could she advance further.
Unlike people with elemental genes, psychic genes were much more complicated to augment. She noticed that the best chances of her making any progress was in fighting. That’s why she was willing to try so hard.
*Clang!*
By whipping the ground, Ariel was able to scare the monster a little and increase its wariness. The crack of the whip was enough to make the monster cautious. Because of the flames enveloping the whip, burn marks were left on the ground.
Amon stopped paying attention to the girls. He even walked away and started creating holes in the floor. The girls didn’t even have time to express their doubts as the monster that looked more like a three-horned antelope became frantic and attacked.
What was impressive was the monster’s speed, which soon allowed it to arrive in front of Barbara.
When Barbara saw the monster running with its head down with the obvious intention of piercing her with its three horns, Barbara jumped back as she positioned herself with her sword.
Maisa, with her sledgehammer on the other hand, had a fiercer look. She turned her body, holding the sledgehammer handle that started to grow more and more, growing to more than 100 cm for the handle and 50 cm for the sledgehammer head. The weight was immense, growing proportionately with its size. What did lighten the weight a little bit was the aura of water genetics that circulated around the entire sledgehammer.
*BANG!*
Her hand shook. The monster’s horns were as hard as a multi-layered steel plate. Her hand now felt like a vibrator, and it even went a little numb.
A little trace of blood appeared just above the horns. The monster’s anger deepened. With a kind of bowing of its head, it attacked again in Maisa’s direction, wanting revenge.
“Not so fast, big guy~” Using the whip, Ariel wrapped it around the monster’s left hind leg and pulled with all her strength, reinforcing it with her psychic power.
Crawling sounds were heard as the monster let out a hiss in fury. It was like the low grunt of a bull, but very devilish.
When the monster managed to free itself from the whip, despite the back leg having burn marks, it still managed to stand on all fours as it turned to glare in Ariel’s direction in fury! Ariel didn’t show the slightest bit of fear; her gaze was still as happy as before.
When given the chance, the girls looked in Amon’s direction. When they saw him dig holes non-stop, even using genetics to wrap up his hand and create a bigger glove to make digging easier, their confusion increased.
‘Don’t tell me he’s setting traps?’ A thought came to mind. The girls pondered this, but not for long. The monster was very fierce and attacked from all sides. It was like a bull that had gone mad with rage.
Around her flexible sword, Barbara enveloped it in blue flames. Her posture was wild, with her hands wide open. She had a predatory aura as she attacked from above, leaving behind a trail of blue flames.
For some reason the monster looked scared by the blue flames. Even in its furious state, it dodged at high speed, not wanting to be hit by Barbara’s sword.
Barbara, who had missed the target, was a little stunned. The proud monster that previously hadn’t even retreated from Maisa’s giant sledgehammer fled from her ‘small’ flexible sword…
“Is it my flames that you are afraid of?” Barbara muttered.
Although now she had something she realized the monster feared, it wouldn’t let her into the fight without caution. The moment she advanced again, she even threw a fireball.
“HISSSSS!*
The monster let out a strange bellow and leapt to the side, dodging the fireball.
Barbara’s eyes gleamed with joy.
“As expected, it is afraid of my flames!” Barbara said happily.
“Don’t hit it yet,” Ariel said, “Not that I underestimate your flames, however, I believe that the moment you hurt him even a little with your flames, he will lose his fear. Let’s use this while we can to our advantage.”
“It’s fine by me.” Barbara was not against this strategy.
Ariel whipped several times towards the monster. Sometimes her attacks caught, while other times the monster dodged. However, it didn’t show fear as it had when it faced Barbara.
Maisa lifted up her sledgehammer and ran at high speed towards the monster and suddenly her battle aura took the form of a kangaroo. That’s when she jumped very high!
Holding the sledgehammer in a hammering position above her head, the hammer grew larger and larger. Barbara saw this and supported it. She created a circle of blue flames around the monster, leaving it paralyzed for a few seconds. When he thought of jumping… it was already too late!
*BANG!*
A blow with great force made blood flow from the monster’s head while it started to threaten to fall at any moment, looking like a man who had drank several liters of pure cacha?a.
“Haaa!”
Julia wasted no time. She advanced quickly with her spear and pierced the nape of the neck.
Ariel, who was on the other side, could see the tip of the spear that pierced the monster. Blood oozed a little, but it soon became a fountain of blood when Julia pulled out her spear.
Just in case, Ariel threw some sharp rocks around her towards the monster’s direction. Confirming once it died, she stopped.
“Amon?”
Once the battle was over, Maisa was the first to look for Amon. When she saw what he was doing, a strange look formed on her face.
It wasn’t just her; the rest of the girls were looking at him weirdly.
“Finished? Help me,” Amon said.
The girls approached.
“Why are you doing this, Amon?” Barbara asked.
Amon looked at her. “The monster’s blood will attract other monsters…”
Ariel interrupted, “Are you going to use this chance to set traps and score more points by killing more monsters?”
“Yeah,” Amon confirmed, but added, “but not only that. See that tree?”
Looking in the direction Amon pointed, the girls saw a tree a little over five meters tall with almost no leaves – just a blood red leaf or two.
After looking where he had pointed for a while, the girls looked back at him.
“I initially thought I’d just do what Ariel said. However, when I was analyzing the things around us, I saw that this tree is actually a blood-eating tree,” Amon explained, “In the information, it says that the more blood it absorbs, the more leaves of blood are created. Of course, for us it’s not very useful, but for the monsters it’s something very sought after.”
“And the reason there’s no other monsters near this tree is…” Barbara pondered and something came to mind, “because those leaves you currently have were due to our struggle?”
They hadn’t even noticed it before. After all, in the middle of the battle, even though it was pretty quiet, if they were careless and allowed themselves to take a direct hit, it would have been hard to tell if they would still be talking so quietly.
