“I’m saying what you’re planning to do is dangerous, and you’re telling me to come along with you?”. Dylan’s voice resounded again with a perplexed facial expression.
“Remember I used the words ‘if you want’, so it is not a must, I’m not forcing you”.
“Ryan, do you know that if our academy was aware of the beast’s attack, and they haven’t heard anything about the beast getting killed or about to get killed, they wouldn’t let us go home?
We were allowed to go home because they weren’t aware. But here you are saying you want to go to the community where the beast is currently at to see it and to watch warriors battle it not minding how risky that is?”.
“I’d be super careful, Dylan, nothing would happen to me”.
Silence ensued for some seconds after Ryan said that as the both of them were just glancing at each other, then Ryan’s voice resounded again,
“You don’t have to follow me, I’d be going now”.
And the moment Ryan was about to begin walking away, Dylan grabbed his right hand which caused Ryan to glance at him, then he stated,
“I’d be following you, let’s take the risk together”.
A surprised expression appeared on Ryan’s face the moment Dylan said that, then he voiced out,
“Do you mean what you just said?”.
“Of course”. Dylan responded.
“Let’s begin going then”.
And with that, the both of them began heading toward the community where the magical beast was currently at. And they weren’t the only ones heading there, other people were doing the same as well…
Some people were running from the beast, while some were heading toward its location to see it. They were able to do this because they knew the warriors were going to begin battling it soon if they hadn’t started battling it already.
Ryan and Dylan kept heading toward the location of the magical beast. And as they walked, they saw the road was scanty of people.
As time passed, they kept getting closer and closer to the community where the magical beast was in…
The warriors had already reached the location of the beast by now, and it didn’t take long for them to locate the beast itself. It was holding a certain lady in its right hand with the aim of killing her when they found it.
Of course, they wouldn’t let it kill the lady. They knew it had already killed a good number of people…but now that they were here, they wouldn’t let it kill any more people.
The beast’s aim was to make use of its teeth to rip the lady apart just as it had done to many others. So the hand it made use of to grip the lady was heading toward its mouth currently.
Seeing this, some of the warriors who were with bows and arrows quickly put arrows in their bows and targeted the beast’s face. There were some meters between them and the beast.
So before any of them run toward the beast to save the lady, it would have become too late by then. That’s why some of them were about to make use of their bows and arrows to do the job.
They’d already made their targets, so all they did next was to let go of the arrows…they fired.
Their arrows headed straight to the beast’s face piercing it. Some pierced its forehead, while some pierced very close to its eyes. This was enough to disorient the beast as it let go of the lady immediately.
The lady began falling to the ground right from where the beast left her. Now, that was a lot of height, there was no way some damages wouldn’t be caused to her body once she lands on the ground.
..And she didn’t possess an ability of any sort.
One of the warriors who possessed the speed ability began running toward where the lady was going to land on to catch her so she wouldn’t fall to the ground anymore. He wanted to save her life.
He was running at super speed so he wouldn’t miss the lady. He could have tried to run toward the beast and stop it from killing the lady because of his speed.
But there was another option, that’s why he didn’t go through the hassle. But now that there wasn’t another option to stop this lady from falling directly to the ground, he had to do this.
He succeeded, he was able to reach the spot where the lady would land on time, then she landed on his hands safely. And immediately, he ran off so they wouldn’t be close to the beast anymore…
He reached a certain spot before dropping the lady there, then she said to him,
“Thank you so much, you just saved my life”.
“It’s nothing, did what I ought to do”. The warrior stated.
She didn’t say anything else, she was only glancing at the warrior with an excited facial expression. She was excited because she just got saved now…not once, but twice.
When the beast grabbed her, she thought it was over for her. But the warriors arrived and made use of arrows to disorient it. When the beast left her, and she was falling to the ground, this particular warrior in front of her didn’t let her land on the ground.
“Go far away from this place”. The warrior said to the lady again.
“I’d do just so”. The lady uttered and began walking away.
Then the warrior ran back to where the other warriors were standing with speed. The beast was already making use of its right hand to remove the arrows that pierced parts of its face.
And after it was done removing them as they had all fallen to the ground, it stood there with anger in its face glancing at the warriors, and the warriors were also glancing at it as well.
They were ready to battle the beast and bring it down even if it was the highest rank of magical beasts.
They didn’t know its rank, but they were going to find out while battling it…
The beast began running toward them while roaring really loudly. And the warriors didn’t stand on a particular spot waiting for it to reach them, they were running toward it as well.
They were aware the beast had killed a good number of people while terrorizing the kingdom. And they were also aware it was always like this whenever a magical beast attacked their kingdom.
People would definitely be killed. Thinking about the number of people the beast had killed, the warriors were so angry while running toward the beast, and it was evident on their faces.
It wasn’t the only one angry, the warriors were angry as well. And the anger they were feeling was making them determined to bring down the beast no matter what.
They kept on running toward the beast, and the beast kept running toward them as well. And the moment the beast reached them, the first thing it did was to swing its hand with the aim of hitting them.
A single hit from the beast could cause them flying to different places because its hands were huge. And apart from flying to different places, many of them could sustain injuries.
But the beast didn’t succeed with its plan though, the warriors were too smart and too quick for that. Before the beast’s hand could reach them, they’d already gone in different directions.
So the beast’s hand just swung past without hitting anyone.
And the moment they were going in different directions, two warriors were already heading toward the beast’s top with their swords firmly gripped in their hands.
They planned on slashing the beast, and they succeeded. One of them slashed the beast’s neck, and the other one slashed the beast’s chest. Both warriors had already landed on the ground by now after slaying the beast.
The fact that they slayed it provoked the beast, and as they were landing on the ground, the beast was wielding mana at the same time…
It brought out a large flame from its mouth as it headed toward the warriors on the ground. Of course, the warriors didn’t wait for the flame to touch them, they were fast enough to move in different directions before the flame could reach them.
So the flame ended up blasting only the ground. The beast had just wielded mana and brought out flame from its mouth, so it can’t be a rank-1 beast, that’s for sure.
But the fact that it brought out flame from its mouth wasn’t enough to determine what rank of magical beast it was yet…
They needed to keep battling it to tell what rank of beast it truly was. After dodging the flame thrown at them by the beast, some warriors jumped heading toward the beast’s top again. They planned on making use of their abilities this time.
About four warriors were heading toward the beast’s top, and two of the warriors there possessed the fire affinities. They were going to make use of the affinity the beast threw at them some seconds ago on it.
