BAM! BAM! BAM!
The black lightning roared in the sky as it struck down a lone figure hundreds, no, thousands of times.
"Argh!!"
The man spat a mouthful of blood as he took a distance but the black lightning followed him. The monster also chased after him.
He couldn't believe it. A third evolution monster was suppressing him? An Annihilation Realm master?
Fuck those higher-ups!!
This monster was stronger than the normal third evolution stage monster. This monster was fully equipped with high-grade equipment. It could use spells like those mages. Also, its release form was longer than normal.
[Element Drive: Earth Force]!
Even after using everything that he had got, he couldn't find an opportunity to defeat this monster.
Swoosh!
Souta chased after the man while pondering how could he capture this man alive. He finished testing his strength as he found that he could go toe to toe with an S-rank expert and even pushed an S-rank into the corner.
He didn't even use his [Draw Blood].
Also, his Archetype had grown stronger. His proficiency was just 4% before but now it reached 6%. The increase was just 2% yet the difference was huge. He didn't even need to use the fifth form to severely damage an S-rank.
Just the first form alone was enough to suppress those A-rank experts. Souta glanced below and the black lightning was pressuring the A-rank experts and this was the reason why they couldn't help the S-rank.
If they joined forces there's a possibility that they could kill him but why would Souta let that happen.
Archetype really lived up to its title, the supreme skill.
Boom!
Souta slashed his sword diagonally. The man raised his halberd to block Souta's attack.
Bang!
He managed to block it but the force behind it blew him away. His figure crashed on the mountain like a meteorite causing a huge causing on it.
The man quickly stood up but he realized that he was surrounded by black tentacles.
"Fuck! I don't have a time for these pests!!"
He roared angrily and thrust his halberd forward.
[Night Piercing Thrive]!
The black tentacles in front of him were shredded into tiny pieces in an instant. But then the black lightning struck down at his position.
Boom!
He needed to constantly change his position or else the lightning will strike him down. Once it struck him, it will continue a barrage of thousands of lightning bolts. It will be harder to escape when that happens.
Swoosh!
But he made a grave mistake...
He took his attention to somewhere else so he didn't even notice that Souta was flying at him. When he noticed it, it was already too late.
"Fuck!"
A loud ear-piercing sound echoed as Souta flew in the mid-air. His body caused a shockwave as it tore the air. He grinned widely and thrust his sword forward.
The sword was covered in layers of flesh, a dense amount of best feram, and black lightning from the first form.
The man reacted by shifting his body to the side but the sword managed to pierce his shoulder. At least, he avoided deadly injury in his heart.
"S-rank is really on a different level."
Souta said with a smile before he twisted his sword. The enormous energy in his sword exploded causing it to shoot a powerful beam that tore the man's shoulder.
Boom!
He then swung down his sword.
It separated the man's right arm from his body and blood spurted out like a fountain.
Souta took a step forward and he grabbed the man's face. Then, he smashed him on the ground.
Boom!
Black lightning struck the two but it only harmed the man. The black lightning from first form could only enhance his abilities. It couldn't harm the user of the Archetype.
He pinned down the man as the spider limbs of his back nailed the arm and two legs of the man to prevent him from moving. Then, he wrapped it with spider webs and black tentacles to lower the risk.
At the same time, the gravity field pressed the man as if it was trying to crush him to death.
"You monster!!" The man roared as he tried to free himself but everything he did was futile.
Souta suppressed him with all of his might. The enormous amount of best feram that Souta had was pressing the man to the ground along with various skills and abilities.
"You are good..."
Souta said as he looked at his stomach and saw the halberd of the man penetrate his exoskeleton. It even caused him a considerable amount of damage but the parasite simply recovered his wounds as if nothing happened.
"I still need you alive."
He raised his hand and black lightning struck down. The atmosphere turned cold as the wailing of the souls echoed into their ears.
He activated the [Soul Blood Mode] for a minute and he knocked unconscious the S-rank expert. Of all of his aces, this was the thing that he rarely use. This mode consumed souls, not energy or stamina. So he couldn't use it carelessly.
If a god discovered him using this ability, then it would be a problem. The gods were sensitive to souls and they could see those souls that couldn't be seen by normal eyes.
"I've finished it. It's time to help the others."
Souta stood up as he patted the dust on his body. Slowly, his body returned to its normal appearance. He now looked like a normal-looking demi, unlike his previous appearance which was like the incarnation of savages.
...
After half an hour, he finished dealing with the other A-rank experts. He aided Amanda and Yenxa who couldn't even defend against their opponents and just relied on their parasites to survive.
It's understandable that they couldn't handle their opponents. Their power level was just A-rank and C-rank while their opponents were a bunch of A-rank and B-rank experts.
Yenxa didn't directly fight as an A-rank could one-shot her. Her parasite would be useless at that time. Luckily, Souta's seven shadows eased their burdens in fighting strong opponents.
"Wake them up."
Souta said as he rubbed his chin. The S-rank and six A-rank experts were left alive. About the other experts? He massacred them and gathered their souls.
Just a little bit more and he would be able to fight S-rank without relying on his aces. Most of the people in this world were hunting him and his actions caused a problem for the Monster Dungeon.
Damn! Monsters were certainly not welcomed in humans and demis' society. It's just a single monster and yet two giant organizations were planning to take down the Monster Dungeon. Being a monster could cause trouble in a world like this.
Unless he was in a dangerous situation, he wouldn't use his release form for a while. His base form should get a boost too.
Cough! Cough!
He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard coughs. Turning his head, he saw that the seven people had woken up. They were coughing up blood as they tried to break free. Unfortunately, it only caused their wounds to bleed crazily.
"How are we going to get information from them?" Gragas asked as he looked at the seven people who were coughing blood.
"Of course, you have to ask them nicely," Souta replied quickly.
One of the A-rank experts glared at Souta and said, "You will not get anything from me. Just kill me, monster."
Swoosh! Swoosh!
A gust of wind passed beside the A-rank and when he realized it, he found that both of his arms were rolling in the mid-air.
"Argh!!"
The man writhed in pain as his blood poured on the ground.
Souta looked at the man with cold eyes. He swung the vajra sword once again and the legs of the A-rank expert were chopped. Then, he grabbed the hair of the man and stabbed him several times.
"ARGHHHHH!!!"
The man screamed in pain as tears and snot covered his face. Souta avoided his vital points so he wouldn't die instantly instead he would die slowly and painfully.
"I have granted your wish. You will die in the next five minutes so you don't need to worry."
Souta said as he threw the man on the ground.
The expression of the other six people turned grim when they witness this scene. They recalled how Souta massacred their comrades one by one.
"Tsk! I thought you are going to ask them nicely." Gragas clicked his tongue with a dissatisfied look. For him, this was too brutal and he hasn't seen anything like this before. He killed a bunch of people in the past but he hasn't killed someone in this way.
"Amanda, you can do it right?" Souta turned to Amanda.
"Don't underestimate me. I'm a leader of an organization before so I'm experienced in this kind of thing." Amanda stepped forward and smiled seductively.
"Well, yeah. I've looked at the things that you did in that organization and I've found it fascinating. You have a talent." Souta replied with a smile.
"Thanks for the compliment. I will do everything to find the truth and that's the reason why I'm willing to become your possession.." Amanda bowed slightly before she stood in front of the six people.
