Souta, Alice, Doranjan, Yuko, and the other dragon received Eilish's buffs. In this kind of situation, a person who could provide this much buff could change the tide of the battle.
'She provided buffs to everyone on your side. It means that she used a huge amount of energy and from her current state I could say that she couldn't handle ten S-rank like what she said. Five or four S-rank would be enough to handle her and it doesn't need to be at peak S-rank.' Saya slowly said to him her thoughts about Eilish's current condition.
'It doesn't matter. I don't have enough force to help her. Also, I'm sure that those S-rank wouldn't be able to kill her easily. Even if she's severely injured she is still a shackled realm expert, after all.' Souta replied to Saya. He didn't have a time to worry about Eilish as his condition was pretty grave too.
Rowan swung his hands and sound waves landed on Doranjan, Yuko, and the red dragon's body. They weren't fast enough to dodge this type of attack even though they were in their released form.
"These monsters are tougher but it's not as tough as that guy." He muttered as he glanced at the three before turning his eyes on Souta. From what he could see, the only threat here was this monster.
"Where are you looking?!" Doranjan roared as he shoots [Bestrou] from his mouth.
Swoosh!
"You're not worthy of my time, dragon," Rowan said as he waved his hand, and a strong invisible shield formed in front of him. The shield was vibrating and kept releasing high pitch sounds.
Boom!
The [Bestrou] directly hit the shield but it couldn't damage it. This shield was tougher than any shields that they have witnessed before.
Yuko growled as she opened her mouth widely. She fired her own [Bestrou] and the red dragon did the same thing.
Three [Bestrou] from three third evolution monsters in their released form fired it. The amount of best feram in the atmosphere was terrifying as the ground trembled like it was afraid of it.
Crack*
Rowan narrowed his eyes as the shield formed a crack. He looked down and saw that the floor beside him have crumbled into dust fading in thin air.
He clenched his fist and the golden light emitted radiantly on his fist. He then threw it in front of him directly shattering the shield that he created.
[Golden Sound Punch]!
The force in his punch blew the [Bestrou] away. The particles of the three [Bestrou] scattered in the different areas creating hundreds of small explosions that almost covered the entire river.
Even with Eilish's buffs, the three of them still couldn't handle Rowan alone in terms of power.
"I'm not done."
Rowan pulled back his other hand and was about to punch again when he sensed someone behind him. He quickly shifted his body and a spear thrust heavily on his previous position.
Tsk!
Alice was annoyed that this guy managed to avoid her attack. She took a step forward and spun around. Using her momentum, she swung her spear to gain more power in her strike.
Dong!
The golden bell rang again.
Alice narrowed her eyes and she swung her hand as fast as she could. The concentration of the mana around her arm was high to the point that people could see visible energy around it.
[Mountain Slice]!
Swoosh!
Rowan opened his eyes in shock. Although he was shocked, he still shifted his body to the side in an instant to avoid the blade of energy.
He was shocked that this girl managed to react to his sound waves and slashed them down.
Boom!
Souta gritted his teeth as his figure inflated. His mouth cracked open as savage black spikes protruded on his shoulders. Black armor covered his body as his hair grew longer.
This wasn't enough.
Layers of flesh covered his huge body. The parasite in his body was reaching its limit. He could feel that it was screaming and a stinging sensation assaulted his body as he used the parasite transformation.
[Possession]!
He then activated various combat arts and spells that could boost his combat ability. The monster orb of the fifth evolution monster on his back acted like a battery as it provided energy so that he could use all of his techniques.
"You!! How can you still use that form?!" Rowan couldn't believe it. He thought that Souta couldn't use his release form so how can he still use it.
"It's nothing. Release form consumed a large amount of energy per second and most of the monsters didn't have enough energy but I kept training my energy level. I kept increasing it so that my release form can last longer."
Souta said as he arrived in front of Rowan. He was right. Compared to the other third evolution monsters, he was a menace. Aside from his monster orb, he had [Nebula Heart] and a parasite that he could store his energy. Also, his other ace was the monster orb of the fifth evolution monster.
He had been absorbing the energy inside it for a long time that he got used to it. He could now absorb the energy inside while fighting at the same time.
It feels like he had several energy cores in his body.
"Shit!"
Rowan cursed as he tried to jump away but he found that his feet were covered in sticky spider webs. Then, a sword coated in dense best feram landed on his neck.
"ARGHHH!!"
Souta roared as he put all of his might but he couldn't entirely slice Rowan's head. Rowan's flesh was too tough and all he could do was cut it to some extent.
Spurt!
Blood spurted on Rowan's neck like a fountain but Rowan didn't back down. He knew that Souta couldn't cut his head off and even if he could it would take a lot of time.
He took a step forward and punched Souta's side. Then, he proceeded to knee him on the stomach before smashing him on the ground.
Bang! Bang!
The golden bell shoots powerful sound waves and it exploded in Souta's huge body. It was then that three [Bestrou] fired at Rowan once again.
[Great Bell Barrier]!
The golden bell went in front of Rowan and it produced a huge and powerful golden barrier. The previous barrier that he created was shattered so he created a stronger one this time.
"Souta..."
Alice muttered as she glanced at Souta's figure. This was her first time seeing that form of his. She was with him for a long time yet she hasn't seen it before.
She has realized long ago that he was a monster but she hasn't confirmed it as Souta didn't say anything about him. In the war against the Great Astley Empire, she had heard of a man and a bear that could use Dragon Energy. She knew that it was Souta and Yuko, and it was at that time that she slowly realized his true identity. She was sure that Souta didn't bring any monster potion with him so how could he use that energy. There's only one answer and that was he's a monster himself.
Also, when Souta fought in the Astley Empire, she was in outer space fighting the forces of the empire while Souta brought a few elites to assault the capital. So she didn't see him fight personally. Even in the Living Labyrinth, Souta mostly used the mana that he stored in the parasite. She wanted to ask him about it but she hold herself as she had her own secrets too.
'No, this isn't the time to think about this. I'm sure that he will explain everything to me after this battle.'
Alice shook her head and concentrated on the battle before her eyes. She tightly clenched her fingers around the spear and she launched herself forward.
Swoosh!
Souta and Yuko were exchanging heavy blows with Rowan. The two of them were in their release form and they were using the power of their parasites yet Rowan was oppressing them with his might.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Alice appeared behind Rowan and slashed her spear.
Hm?
Rowan sensed her presence. He opened his palm and several balls of golden light appeared. The balls of light shoot at Alice but she didn't try to avoid it. She took it head-on and the golden lights pierced her body.
Ugh!
She simply gritted her teeth as put more force in her spear. As long as she didn't die, her parasite could still recover her from any injuries.
"You guys are suicidal!!"
Rowan cursed as the tip of the spear slightly pierced his chest. A huge hand grabbed his face and smashed him on the ground.
Bang!
"Alice! I know what you're thinking! I'll tell you about it after this so let's finish this!" Souta said as he tightly grip the Clan Leader's face.
"I know!" Alice nodded and she gathered a large amount of mana on the tip of her spear.
Sparks flew out as violent torrents of energy exploded. The spear was slowly piercing Rowan's chest.
[Blinding Golden Bomb]!
Rowan snapped his finger and the golden bell above released a very intense ray of energy.
BOOM!!
