The warriors were having a hard time with the beast currently, and the people watching them were noticing it.
From the number of affinities the beast had made use of while battling the warriors, people had discerned that it was a rank-4 beast, the highest rank of magical beasts.
No wonder the warriors were having a difficult time battling it, bringing it down wouldn’t be easy at all…
Was this the first time a rank-4 magical beast was attacking their kingdom? No, it had happened more than once in the past. And when they happened, the warriors that battled them had a difficult time, but they eventually brought them down.
That was exactly what was happening right now. The warriors battling the beast were having a difficult time, but they’d eventually bring it down no matter how long it takes.
“I can tell this is a rank-4 beast, the warriors aren’t having it easy with it. And the three affinities I’ve seen it make use of is another confirmation it is a rank-4 beast”. Dylan said to Ryan as they were still watching the warriors battle the beast.
“Yes, it has to be a rank-4 beast, there’s enough evidence for that. Do you think they’d be able to bring it down?”. Ryan threw a question at Dylan.
“Of course, no matter how long it takes. This isn’t the first time these warriors are battling a rank-4 magical beast, they’ve battled many of them in the past. They’d surely bring it down”. Dylan responded.
Ryan only nodded his head a little, then Dylan’s voice resounded again,
“Though they’re having a hard time battling the beast, the beast hadn’t killed any of them, but has injured some according to what I’m seeing. One of them would have to die, either the warriors, or the magical beast. And it has to be the magical beast”.
Ryan nodded his head once again as the both of them were still watching the warriors battle the beast along with other people. After a few minutes of watching in silence, Ryan’s voice suddenly resounded,
“So, you aren’t regretting it, right?”.
“Regretting what?”. Dylan uttered with a bit of confused facial expression.
“Coming here, remember you didn’t want to come before, you were even persuading me not to come because of how dangerous it was”. Ryan uttered.
A bit of smile appeared on Dylan’s face at that moment, then he stated,
“I’m not regretting it at all, I’m even glad I came. I want to watch the warriors bring down the beast”.
“It was just as I told you, even though it was risky coming here, nothing would happen to us, we just have to find our way around. Now, look, aren’t we here along with other people watching the warriors battle the beast?”.
Dylan nodded his head a little before saying, “It was just as you said it. The fact that the warriors began battling the beast also helped out in making what you said accurate”.
The warriors were still battling the rank-4 magical beast, and they were having a hard time here. They’d slayed it in many places, but they weren’t enough to bring it down at all.
Slashing places in the body of a rank-4 beast was among the lowest things that could be done to bring it down. They would only cause temporary pain to its body, but they wouldn’t come close to ending the beast’s life.
Apart from slashing places in its body, they’d also made use of their abilities on it, but they weren’t still enough to bring it down.
..And the major of them all, they’d tried reaching the beast’s back neck numerous times to begin destroying its core, but they weren’t succeeding at all.
The magical beast wasn’t letting them, it was so protective of that place knowing it was its weak point. Though battling the beast was difficult, the warriors didn’t plan on giving up at all until they’d brought it down.
The beast wasn’t giving them time to strategize. With a strategy, they’d most likely find a way to bring down the beast faster. New ideas come with a higher chance of things working out.
The beast had just thrown a huge amount of wind toward the warriors that could take them off their feet and fly to wherever. But none of them allowed the wind to achieve its purpose, they were able to dodge it.
Then the beast threw another one at them which they also dodged as well.
An idea crashed into the head of a certain warrior who possessed the wind affinity. And he didn’t waste time to voice it out for the other warriors to hear,
“I have an idea guys, and this particular idea would require me to make use of a lot of mana. But I don’t mind doing it at all as far as it could lead to bringing down the beast”.
The warriors were listening while watching out for the beast as well because losing focus at this moment could get you killed. The beast wasn’t resting at all, it has been attacking and attacking.
“I would use a lot of wind to push the beast so it would lose stamina and become disoriented. Losing stamina would make it start staggering, there’s a very high chance of it happening,
So during the time it would be staggering, one of us or more can quickly make our way to its core and begin destroying it while still being so cautious at the same time,
There’s no way its core would be destroyed, and it wouldn’t affect it, even if the damage done to it was little. If we can succeed in this one, we’d just keep doing it like that until we eventually bring down the beast”.
By the time the warrior was done making that statement, a huge flame was heading toward them which came from the beast. And they did what they’d been doing before, which was dodging it.
If the flame ends up touching one of the warriors, it would most likely consume the person to death because the beast’s flames were really strong.
That was why they needed to be at alert all the time even when someone among them was talking…
They heard what the warrior suggested, and they loved it. So one of their voices resounded,
“Instead of you doing it alone, why don’t another person with the wind ability assist you to make it easier? I feel with two people directing a huge amount of wind toward the beast, it would make it lose stamina more, and then the other part of your suggestion would become easier to achieve”.
They loved the sound of that, the person that spoke had just spoken sense. Another warrior with the wind ability quickly volunteered himself to help out the warrior that gave the suggestion.
They were doing all these while making sure not to lose focus…they were still so mindful of the beast. And right now, a plan had already been made.
The people that would be directing a huge amount of wind toward the beast to make it lose stamina know themselves. And the people assigned to heading toward the beast’s core to begin destroying it the moment it loses stamina also knew themselves as well.
They were two. Two were going to be directing a huge amount of wind toward the beast to make it lose stamina, and two were going to be targeting the beast’s core…that’s four in total.
The beast ran toward them with the aim of kicking some of them with force. So the moment it reached where they were standing, it swung its right leg with force.
But it only swung past because all the warriors had already moved aside before it threw the kick.
So as its leg was swinging past, it was also moving past as well. It moved front a little before turning its head around and glancing at the warriors again, then it came with another swinging kick.
..Well, they dodged it just as they dodged the first one, causing the beast’s leg to move past without hitting anyone and the beast moving forward as well.
Now was the perfect time for them to implement their plan since the beast was standing at a perfect spot right for implementing what they had in mind.
The two warriors with the wind affinities were already wielding a lot of mana. And during the time they were still wielding mana, they began running toward the magical beast.
The beast roared a little seeing them run toward it, then it swung its right hand with speed with the aim of grabbing them. But before its hand could even reach them, they’d already jumped.
And reaching the beast’s chest, the both of them directed a huge amount of wind each toward the beast. Their wind colliding increased the heaviness…and the moment they hit the beast, it lost stamina immediately.
The beast began staggering while moving back at the same time just as the warrior predicted. Both warriors that did the job of directing a heavy wind toward the beast had landed on the ground.
It was about time for the warriors assigned to target the beast’s core to do their jobs…
