The voice of the Great Berserk Kohima reverberated in their head. It was the monster language that could communicate to any creature living in this universe. They simply passed their thoughts in their voice and anyone who received it would understand it.
If the Great Berserk Kohima only passed his thoughts to Algard then he was the only one who would be able to understand the Great Berserk Kohima.
But the Great Berserk Kohima wanted everyone to understand him. To know that this was his territory and no one should disturb him in this place. A fifth evolution monster was self-sufficient. They didn't need to eat to live.
Their powerful monster orb already gave them enough energy to survive without any needs.
"..."
Algard, the Head of the Bentley Family, didn't know what to do. Ordinary people only knew that there were five fifth evolution monsters in this forest but he was different. He was the head of a powerful noble family so he had information that there were monster lords in this place and the royal family was in contact with those monsters.
If this was only the ritual then the forest wouldn't suffer like this but a battle occurred here that wiped out everything within a few kilometers so this monster had no choice but to move.
'I would die... What should I do to survive?'
If he had a party of SSS-rank experts like him then they could probably handle but alone... He was sure that he would die if he fight this monster alone. Also, he didn't have any potion with him.
...
The Great Berserk Kohima looked at everyone with a glint in his eyes. He didn't remove the pressure he was emitting and it prevented everyone aside from Algard from moving. It means that their lives were in his hands and he could kill them if he wanted but he didn't want that.
He was a monster that gained intelligence after evolving so he wouldn't simply attack anyone. The extreme senses that he honed while fighting for dominance in this territory were telling him that he shouldn't kill them especially the person behind Algard.
He was curious as that person was simply a bug who couldn't scratch his skin, but why was his instinct was screaming?
'The moment that I attack this bug something unimaginable will happen to me.'
He thought while observing the black-haired bug.
...
Bryan shivered when he felt that the fifth evolution monster was observing him. A predator that he couldn't handle was looking at him.
'This pressure... I could endure it... Compare to Teacher Bargan it's nothing...'
He gritted his teeth as he tried to endure the weight on his shoulder that was pressing him towards the ground.
With great effort, he managed to glance behind him only to find that the women were lying on the ground without any consciousness. Just a few more minutes under the pressure of this best feram and the fragile bodies of these women would break. They would die.
A pressure from the fifth evolution monster could even kill a C-rank expert.
That's just how powerful a monster at the fifth stage.
...
Hmm... They are here.
The Great Berserk Kohima turned his head on the side as he felt that the people that he detected before were close. Soon, they will arrive at this place.
'These humans and demis are really troublesome...'
He lifted his head and roared that made the ground tremble. His roar swept out in every direction as it carried the weight of his power.
All the C-rank experts of the Bentley Family and the Dark Oculus Legion fainted as soon as they heard the roar.
"No one will answer me!! Then, I'll show you why you bugs shouldn't disturb me!!"
His aura grew stronger and it reached the peak in just a few seconds. Although he felt danger, he wasn't afraid of fighting. A monster like him rose to this level because he had the power to dominate his peers. He killed anyone and ate their body that stimulate his gene to evolve into a rare species. The resources in this place were all him.
It's law of the jungle.
His expression was full of rage. He was ready to attack at any moment and show these puny bugs why they shouldn't come in this place.
His five tails pointed at them and a large concentration of best feram formed on each tip. Five [Bestrou] were forming and it would cause unbelievable destruction if it was unleashed.
Actually, he didn't want to fight. He wanted to sleep peacefully and depending on their answer he would let them live but no one answered him. He tried to communicate with these bugs yet they didn't even reply to him.
He was already showing them his mercy by not killing them yet they just stood there and close their mouth. No one answered him why they destroyed a part of his territory. Even these humans and demis would get mad if he destroyed their land and they didn't get a proper response.
"Fine then everyone should just die..."
His roar before had a purpose. It was to stimulate all the monsters below him in this territory to go mad. The basic instinct of a monster would overflow and they will turn into a pure monster devoid of any intelligence.
It would cause a monster tide that will attack the territory of humans and demis. Only monsters that had high intelligence wouldn't be affected by his roar. This was the privilege of a fifth evolution stage monster.
"Since you destroy my land then I'll destroy yours too..."
The energy on the tip of his tails was fully charged. Suddenly, he looked up in the sky and shoot three [Bestrou] in the sky. He then shoots another one towards Bryan and Algard while the remaining one flew at Yanagi and the shackled realm experts of the Bentley Family.
Boom!!
"Hahaha!! This monster is fun! I'm in a pinch!"
Yanagi laughed and one of the rings on her finger turned into tiny fragments before it released a bright light. The pressure on her body. This item was a one-time use that will cleanse her body from any abnormal status effect.
Before the [Bestrou] landed on her, the seven blades move in front of her and formed a shield.
[Blade Dancer: Variant Blade Shield]!!
She was only going to protect herself as she didn't care about the elites of the Bentley Family.
Boom!!
The powerful beam swallowed everything around her. It was so powerful that the blade shield quickly formed a crack. Each blade was orange grade yet it couldn't handle the power of [Bestrou] from a fifth evolution stage monster.
On the other side, Algard gathered his mana and pushed his dark grade staff forward to create a barrier. He wasn't going to block this attack as he knew that he wouldn't be able to do it. If he was a shielder at SSS-rank then he could probably do it but he was a mage, so his defense was lower than those shielders.
"Fucking monster!!!"
Algard gritted his teeth as he tried to deflect the powerful beam. He kept pouring his energy on the barrier to prevent it from breaking.
He didn't even know that what he was doing indirectly save the people behind him. But he had no time to think about them as a bigger problem emerge in front of him.
Boom!!
A powerful explosion occurred as gigantic mushrooms of smoke rose in the sky. The explosions were seen by the people in the Eternal Empire.
Everything within twenty kilometers was disintegrated. Only a quarter was left in the territory of Great Berserk Kohima. Although twenty kilometers was huge, it was still a small part of the Forest of Eternal Light. It wouldn't disturb the other fifth evolution monsters or monster lords that were living in this place.
"They are here..."
The Great Berserk Kohima growled as he showed his sharp fangs. The reason why he shoots three [Bestrou] above was that the people that he sensed before has arrived. They quickly launched an attack on him without care.
They didn't even try to know the situation and just attack the moment that they discovered him. As expected of humans and demis they wouldn't care about monsters. They just wanted to take the body parts of monsters like him for their own purpose.
He had lived for hundreds of years and he encountered countless humans and demis in his life.
Some of them would come here to slay monsters and live the bodies of the monsters in this forest.
Some of them would come here and take monsters' body parts then they will leave.
Some of them would snatch the mana fruits that the monsters protected.
Some of them would kill each other and plunder other people's belongings.
The Great Berserk Kohima witnessed everything that happened in his territory. But what about him? The moment that he reached fourth evolution he just quietly stayed in his territory. After all, he didn't need to eat nor drink to live so he had no reason to slay other monsters.. He would only go outside of his territory if it was the breeding season of his species, the Kohima.
