Kyle watched and when all the fighting participants below him climbed up, Kyle disappeared again, earning a few curses from Regius.
Kyle appeared mid-air and immediately activated his skill ‘Fear’.
The flying monsters and the ones climbing the mountain froze for a split second. Their hearts trembled and pupils contracted due to fright.
Some of the weak-willed flying monsters even dropped to the ground with a loud cry.
Kyle groaned and his figure started descending downward with lightning speed.
‘This skill doesn’t require mana but it’s taxing on my mind.’
A lot of participants gazed at Kyle. He was too up in the sky, that’s why if he crashed he would definitely lose a leg or arm but in the next second, Kyle’s hand moved abruptly and five huge boulders appeared below him.
The boulders crashed on the mountain ground one after one with loud banging sounds, the participants froze in their spots. Even Regius’s mouth was opened wide. The ground trembled under their feet.
Kyle blinked and disappeared again, in the next second he appeared beside Regius, giving the latter already muddled heart a jolt.
“Kyle!!!! Please please I am begging you don’t just appear around me like a ghost!”
Regius cried out loudly and Kyle gave him a reassuring nod with serious eyes.
“Sorry, I forget.”
However, the evil smirk playing at the corner of his lips gave him away.
A vein popped on Regius’s forehead.
“You did it on purpose!”
Kyle shut his mouth and immediately pointed at the boulders to distract his attention.
Under the crowd’s bulging eyes, the boulder rolled down with lightning-fast speed, crushing all the monsters in their path. It was an incredible yet gruesome sight where hundreds of monsters died within mere seconds.
Meanwhile, below among the many monsters climbing the mountain. Sinon just kicked another monster to clear his path when he sensed the ground tremble under his feet.
He frowned and looked up but his eyes almost popped out of sockets when he saw the horror in front of himself.
Many large boulders were rolling off, heading straight toward him.
“Which fucker pushed the boulders!”
He cursed so loud that his vocal cords went numb but the impending doom was heading toward him with each passing second.
Sinon’s face went pale as he kicked another monster and started running backward toward the forest.
Today was the day when he saw the horror of death flashing in front of his eyes.
In the end, he opened his wings for a flight. He indeed saved himself from being crushed under the boulders but because he was not used to flying and he was scared of heights he fell only after half a minute.
“I swear I will punch the culprit to death who pushed the boulders!!!”
His screams echoed as he crashed into a tree with a loud bang.
At the same time, Kyle blinked his eyes while standing beside Regius who patted his shoulder with a confused expression.
“Kyle, did you hear I think someone’s screaming?”
Kyle gulped down nervously.
“Nope! You are imagining things. No one’s shouting.”
He immediately threw off Regius’s hand and turned around to help the participants who were fighting with monsters.
‘OMG! I forget Sinon didn’t fly when I asked him to, he was down there! Now I can only hope he survives.’
Bia who was hearing live details of the event from Kyle hurriedly lit up a candle for Sinon in her heart.
-‘What a pity I wasn’t able to see his black wings.’
Kyle immediately blocked Bia’s voice and used his skill to increase his speed.
He roam around with incredible speed and within a minute a lot of participants were able to take a breath.
Kyle stopped and wiped the blood from his sword. His breath was a little heavy when he looked down to see more monsters climbing the mountain with lightning speed.
He counted the flying monsters and looked back at Regius.
“Go to the left side there is a cave.”
Regius gave him a nod. He was already tired there was no way he would be able to continue fighting.
He gathered the participants and all of them started running toward the place Kyle pointed.
On the other hand, Kyle took in a deep breath. He eyed the many flying monsters with bated breath.
‘I think I will almost lose all my remaining mana if I use my sword Art but there is no choice now.’
Kyle grabbed the sword tightly and started injecting his mana into the sword. He murmured under his breath and once again disappeared from his spot.
After half a second, he appeared mid-air, directly in front of the flock of flying monsters.
Kyle propelled his body and shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Third strike: Ethereal Voidbreaker slash.”
In an instant the air cracked, and dense mana appeared around his sword.
With a swift and precise swing, the blade sliced through the air, and the sword hummed with a thunderous sound.
A rift of light and energy that obliterated anything in its path appeared at the tip of his sword.
The force of the devasting strike sent shockwaves rippling through the already-cracked air.
With a resounding boom, Kyle saw his sword cracked into many pieces.
“What the..?”
His eyes contracted because not just the monsters even he himself was impacted due to the huge force and his body flew backward with a jolt.
It seemed even with his increased strength the third sword Art move was just too powerful for his body.
Kyle’s eyes flew open and he took in the devastating scene in front of him.
The sky cracked and with a loud rumble, his sword strike passed through the hundreds of flying monsters just as easily as cutting butter.
The monsters flapped around with horror but it was too late. One by one they all fell with broken bodies. Green, purple, and brown blood poured from the sky.
Kyle didn’t want to crash into something that’s why he gathered the tiny bit of mana present in his body and used the ‘Ice Armor’ skill.
A thin invisible veil of ice appeared around his body. He almost thought he failed to activate the skill because the veil of ice was invisible. However, the feeling of being enclosed in ice was indeed soothing.
Soon, he crashed into the ground with a bang. Kyle groaned and spit out blood but then he felt the ice veil seeping into his body and the minor injuries around his body disappeared within a few seconds.
He propelled his body to sit down with a sigh. At that moment, a strained and tired voice sounded by his side.
“Are you alright?”
Kyle looked up to see Sinon’s bloodied figure standing a few meters away from him.
“I am fine. However, your condition is more severe than mine.”
Sinon grumbled and barely pushed his body to climb up but his eyes reflected pure respect and shock when he gazed at Kyle because he saw how just a moment ago Kyle killed so many monsters.
“It’s the fault of the fucker who pushed the boulders on me!”
Kyle averted his gaze and merely replied with an ‘Oh’. He looked below the mountain and saw a lot more monsters crawling and climbing up continuously.
“Let’s go left, there is a cave. I can’t fight anymore.”
Sinon groaned.
“Me neither.”
Kyle dragged his body toward the cave and Sinon followed beside him.
After five minutes, they appeared in front of the cave.
Regius was just coming out from the cave to look around for Kyle with a tense expression. While running toward the cave he and the many participants saw how Kyle used a devasting attack and was flung backward.
However, he stopped and sighed with relief when he saw Kyle walking toward the cave.
He saw Kyle’s injured figure and immediately took out some healing potions from his storage ring and tossed them toward him.
“Drink them.”
“Alright, thanks.”
The trio entered the cave and all the participants looked at Kyle with conflicted emotions. Some were envious of his strength, some thankful, some respectful while some just didn’t care.
Lumi dragged Yue and stood in front of Kyle with a flashing smile.
“Are you alright? I saw you up there using a dashing move.”
Kyle’s eyes trailed off to Yue and he gave a nod.
At the same time, Sinon and Regius clicked their tongues with sour expressions but then Kyle turned around to look at the duo.
“Ligh up some fire I will close the cave entrance…”
Regius nodded and immediately went deep into the cave to light a fire.
Meanwhile, Sinon followed behind Kyle to help him a little but Kyle was sweating buckets of water when he saw Sinon following behind him.
“Ahem.. You don’t have to follow me.”
Sinon cut him off with a serious expression.
“We are both injured. I should help you.”
Kyle laughed dryly but inwardly he knew he was done for because he was going to close off the cave entrance with a boulder.
In the end, he threw everything at fate and stepped forward to do his job.
Sinon watched Kyle and was ready to help when suddenly a huge boulder appeared in front of the cave entrance.
Sinon blinked his eyes. It took him a few seconds to register that Kyle was the same fucker who pushed the boulders down!
He was seething but when he saw Kyle’s injured figure he gulped down his anger with gritted teeth.
Kyle could sense Sinon’s glare but like a shameless person he ignored him completely with a nod.
