As the skies continued to form more lightning, although it was loud, it wasn’t quite as disturbing as before. Barbara took her hands away from her ears and stopped using genetics to keep out the sound.
“Looks like we won’t need to get rid of the beasts…” Barbara said with a strange smile. She could tell that the beasts fled at the sound of those lightning bolts.
“It’s understandable. Even I would want to run away if I didn’t know what had caused this.” Mabel laughed a little. She wasn’t too worried about killing beasts. There were still a lot of rare herbs, so they could collect them without any interruption.
It was rare to see Mabel laugh, and they knew she preferred rare herbs. So, even though they were surprised, they saw that Amon was fine, so they went to collect herbs around with Mabel.
Meanwhile, Amon received another lightning strike while meditating.

As his genetics got closer to level 30, his opening speed has shown signs of slowing down, but Amon didn’t care. He was already happy with the speed he was improving and continued meditating very calmly.

[Calm Gene +2]

Eyes closed, Amon, furrowed his brow in surprise. Even with his eyes closed he could hear the warning of genetic augmentation. However, his calm was broken by his surprise. This prevented him from continuing to increase, and Amon, knowing this, returned to his concentration as the lightning continued to fall toward him.

In the distance, a group of people were looking in Amon’s direction.
“It’s that boy with that beautiful but scary woman…”
“We better not get involved with him. Let’s go somewhere else.”
With that, they left. However, they weren’t the only ones there. There were more people watching from a distance, and a group of 19 people didn’t think about leaving…
“We’ve already found them, and if I’m not mistaken, that girl is the granddaughter of the great genetic elemental rune genius.”
The one who had spoken was a woman with dark green eyes. She had dirty blonde hair, and she was very tall, at 199 cm. Her chest was as straight as an airport runway. If it weren’t for her feminine features, it would be easy to mistake her for a man.
“Monique, are you sure we are going to do this?” The most fearful of their group asked.
“Idiot, do you know how much her body is worth on the black market?” Monica said as she looked at him with her eyes like a dead fish. She had a mean vibe around her as she said, “That’s 1 million contributions! 1 million! Do you know what we could get with 1 million?”
“1 million…”
Hearing this, greed made some of them even drool. It was an astronomical amount. Mainly because the reward was paid in contributions, this could be multiplied several times if they were exchanged for credits at their university. 𝚍ｏ𝚟𝚕.ｏｒｇ
“Also, that person told me he would give me 100 million credits if we could kill the kid over there,” Monique said, pointing to Amon.
“Senhor Jardel said that?”
Upon hearing the question from one of them, Monica nodded.
“Mister Jardel seems to hate this boy. If we’re going to have to kill him, we might as well gain some benefits for doing him the favor,” Monica said.
Hearing this, the doubts they had before were gone. Even though the boy was showing monstrous talent, everyone here was limited to an Innate level, and they were 19 people, while their prey only had 6. There were at least 3x the number of people on their side.
Other than that all of them were third years or second years; none were first years. Everyone already had the Merged Genetic Factor and already had rich fighting experience.

Not knowing what watched them with malice, the girls continued to collect rare herbs, but suddenly Amon stopped meditating. Opening his eyes, he called out, “Someone has evil intentions toward us.”
He could feel it. It was a variant of fury, making him sensitive to it.
The girls stopped what they were doing and became serious and alert. Amon also stopped meditating and got up, equipping his gauntlets.
The girls had already started holding their weapons, as they prepared to activate spells to attack or buff.
*<Strengthening of the Waters>!*
Maisa already used an area effect buff. This buff increased the group’s attack and defense and had a duration of 30 minutes.
When they learned that they had been discovered, the group of 19 people appeared from behind some bushes and trees. In the next instant, they positioned themselves and cast a barrier spell around their perimeter.
They started to surround Amon’s group after the barrier spell was cast, splitting themselves into groups of five, only one having 4 people.
“Hahaha! You noticed us, but it’s too late! There’s nowhere to run!” Monique laughed out loud, maniacally.
Ariel raised her eyebrows. She looked at the tall, skinny girl and said, “Heh… You know, you guys came at the right time. My whip was already getting lonely~ You know what my baby was missing? ~ ”
“What?” One of the nineteen asked cooperatively.
Ariel’s smile turned wicked and full of madness. “Human blood~”
She rubbed the whip across her face, then, with a simple wave of her hand, the whip shuddered and vibrated with a loud crack on the floor, creating a fissure in the ground.
“Crazy!”
Some of the nineteen took a few steps back. They even felt that what the short busty girl was saying was true.
Monique looked at Ariel with undisguised envy, especially when she looked at her big melons…
“You bitch, don’t talk shit. I know you’re just a little princess who has never seen human blood other than her virginity she lost a long time ago and just wants to look strong, bitch!” Monique screamed, furiously.
“Oh, I’m still a virgin~” Ariel didn’t look the least bit affected yet she spoke innocently, almost teasingly, “What about you? How did someone so flat manage to lose their virginity? Still able to make someone hard? Ahh, you must have gone to a sex shop, right? Tsk, tsk, so depressing~”
“You…!” Monique’s eyes were red with anger. She felt she had another reason to kill these kids now!
“Monique, don’t forget why we’re doing this. Don’t fall for her game,” another warned.
He was second in command of the group, a muscular young man with a big broadsword.
“Amon, did I give you enough time?” Ariel asked suddenly as she looked at him.
“Yes, thanks,” Amon said.
In the next instant, everyone turned toward him and that’s when they saw that a frightening level of lightning was condensed around his hands.
