Sinon had never seen something like this in his whole life not even in his wildest dream. He indeed knew a lot of strong skills existed but how could someone just freeze an entire monster within mere seconds?
His mind went blank at the sight of the ice pieces but even the ice pieces turned into dust and swirled away with the wind.
He gazed at the figure who did it all. Silver hair and nonchalant green eyes.
It took him a few seconds to gather himself and stand up. However, he again saw three monsters pouching at the silver-haired human from behind.
Sinon opened his mouth to warn but what happened next made his scalp go numb.
The silver-haired human didn’t even look back. A sea of blue flames appeared behind his back enveloping the monsters completely.
Sinon watched with daze how the monsters turned into glistening ice sculptures and after a second nothing remained behind not even their dead bodies.
A glistening finger-sized round ball dropped on the ground and the silver-haired human eyes sparkled as he picked it up.
“A skill core?”
Kyle closed his eyes and went through the skill information but a frown appeared on his face after a second.
“A (E)-skill to increase agility kinda useless.”
He threw the skill core into his mind space and looked at the demi-human. Kyle could sense at least thirty monsters around them.
“Can you still fight?”
Sinon recovered from his stunned state and nodded with a serious expression as he could also sense many movements around them but Kyle’s next words almost made him facepalm.
“Can you fly?”
Sinon groaned but gave a light nod. However, the only thing he got in return was a click of the tongue from Kyle.
In the next second, many monsters pounced at the duo from all sides, the trees were crushed and the monster’s angry cries rang out in their ears.
Kyle didn’t wait for the demi-human to act and immediately waved his hand. Blue flames flickered behind him and took the shape of twenty arrows.
Sinon who just decided to attack a nearby monster froze in his spot when he saw many flame arrows piercing the monster’s bodies with incredible speed.
He stood beside Kyle with a blank expression, thinking if the human was going to fight alone in the end why the fuck he asked him, ‘Can you still fight?’.
He watched as all the monsters around him were cleared within mere seconds.
“Huuuu…”
Sinon took a deep breath and when Kyle turned around he offered sincerely.
“Thank you. I am Sinon Ambing.”
Kyle nodded and secretly sensed his rank. Sinon was (D+)-Rank.
“Kyle… Kyle Ohan.”
Sinon looked at the sky with a frown.
“Kyle, I think we should climb the mountain.”
After a second, he wispered under his breath.
“All this is quite similar to a monster horde…”
Kyle’s eyes reflected shock when he heard the words ‘monster horde’. He recalled Regius was gathering a small crowd of participants and turned around to run toward the mountain.
“You can fly, right? Just fly… see yah on the mountain. A lot of participants are gathering there.”
Sinon heard Kyle drifting words and was dumbfounded. He could indeed fly but he was scared of heights that’s why he preferred to walk instead of flying.
He sped up and caught up to Kyle but under his eyes, Kyle’s figure disappeared.
“The fuck!”
Sinon was once again shocked but he calmed his troubled heart and started running up the mountain.
Kyle appeared in front of Regius and just like before Regius freaked out, enough to startle all the participants standing behind him.
“Kyle!!! Can’t you come and go like a normal person!”
Kyle nodded and gave him an apologetic smile. He gazed at the participants standing around him. They were all hurling one attack after another at the monsters who had climbed up.
Regius pushed him away and ran off to kill a flying bee monster attacking a fighting participant from behind.
Kyle’s eyes narrowed, five ice arrows appeared behind him and he attacked the nearby monsters with the arrows.
The participants were startled when suddenly the monsters they were fighting got attacked by ice arrows. However, they recovered within a few seconds and turned around to attack other monsters.
A sword appeared in Kyle’s hand and he activated his skill ‘Swift steps’ to increase his speed. His figure flashed like a blur as he swung his sword with precision, slashing and killing one monster after another.
A lot of participants were stunned by Kyle’s fast movements but they were too occupied to think about anything else.
Kyle stopped behind an injured elf and killed the monster he was fighting. From the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of Yue fighting against two (D)-Rank monsters.
He could see she was having difficulty then he noticed two more giant monsters heading straight toward her.
Kyle’s eyes narrowed and he disappeared from his spot. In the next second, his sword was embedded inside one of the monsters Yue was fighting. It was so easy for him to slice the monsters as they were too weak.
Yue was stunned when she saw a familiar silver-haired figure. Under her gaze, Kyle waved his sword to remove the sticky monster’s blood.
He mouthed and many thunder arrows struck down from the clear sky and a few pained cries sounded around Yue.
She opened her mouth and said thank you but her mind was too occupied.
Kyle gazed at Yue and gave her a nod.
“Be careful.”
He didn’t stay in front of her longer. He spotted Regius’s figure and immediately ran toward him while slashing all the monsters that appeared in his path.
Kyle appeared beside Regius with a grim face.
“There are too many monsters. Soon, everyone will get tired and their mana will be exhausted I don’t think we can fight for long in this situation.”
Regius stabbed a monster to death with his dagger and replied without looking back at Kyle.
“What else can we do? It’s a monster horde even if we climb up we will only be getting a few safe minutes and nothing else.”
He eyed Kyle from the corner of his eyes and clicked his tongue.
“Your breathing is calm. Even after running around so much you don’t look tired.”
Kyle threw an ice arrow at a nearby monster.
“Oh, I still have 65 percent mana left but I am using too many skills so I can only fight for a day at most.”
Regius’s mood went sour. He knew Kyle was strong but the difference was just too much.
Kyle mumbled something under his breath and shouted at the participants standing below him.
“Come up. I am going to throw some boulders down the mountain to crush the climbing monsters.”
Regius looked at him with a perplexed expression.
“Boulders?…”
Oh, how he wished he didn’t recall that gruesome scene he saw a month ago! Regius eyes went wide and his voice stuttered.
‘I was so aggressive that night. Isn’t he angry? Why is he helping me?’
“That.. was you? The ice shield..?”
Kyle shrugged his shoulders and threw him a mischievous smile.
“It’s a mana-saving method.”
