[Shadow Spike]!!
The shadows burst out of the ground and it pierced the bodies of the monsters.
Putchi! Putchi!
Souta continuously heard the system prompts ringing inside his head. The souls and exp were being filled up quickly.
He used the effect of the [Harvester of the Soul] two times back then in the Dry Gulch Town. He increased his intelligence by twenty using the souls that he collected.
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Souta charged towards the group of kobolds and used [Crimson Moon] skill.
Swoosh!!
A red light flashed and it crashed the group of kobolds.
Boom!!
He changed his target as he knew that those kobolds were already dead. He jumped in the mid-air and looked around him. In his position, there's a lot of adventurers. He doesn't want to accidentally kill one of them when he's going wild.
Souta landed down and bent his knees. And with a "boom" he charged through the army of monsters in front of him.
[Dash]!!
[Cross Moon]!!
The adventurers around looked at Souta with a surprised expression on their faces.
"Oi! Oi! Where is that man going?"
"What he is planning?"
"He's breaking the formation!!"
Bewildered voices sounded in the group of adventurers. They were stunned when they saw Souta charged in the middle of the monster tide alone.
[Shadow Bind]!!
Souta waved and slashed his sword against the monsters. Some of them died and some survived.
He followed this by casting [Shadow Spike]. It took the lives of those who survive.
[You've received 130 exp for defeating Kobold Warrior!!]
[You've received 182 exp for defeating High Orc!!]
[You've received 156 exp for defeating High Orc!!]
[You've received 127 exp for defeating Terror Wolf!!]
Souta ignored the sound he heard in his mind. A shadow covered his whole body.
He looked up and saw a three-meter tall wolf heading towards him. He moved his body sideways to dodge the wolf.
Boom!!
The wolf crashed in his previous position. It even hit the other monsters in the area.
"That's an Ashen Wolf!" Souta exclaimed and he narrowed his brows. He gripped the sword in his hand tightly and circulated his mana around his body.
Ashen Wolf was a three to five meters tall wolf. It has gray-colored thick fur. Its level was between 20 and 39. It was a powerful monster and its greatest weapon was its speed.
The power and speed it showed just now weren't at the level where Souta could fear it. Its level was probably between 20 and 25.
Swoosh!!
A figure shot out of the smoke. It was the Ashen Wolf.
Souta shifted his body quickly to avoid the wolf and when it passed beside him he swung his sword.
Swoosh!!
His slash missed as it only hit the air. The wolf speed was really extraordinary that it could even avoid an attack that close.
Souta lifted up his left hand and casted [Shadow Ball] spell. He then used [Crimson Moon] skill around him.
He killed the weak monster around him. He doesn't want them to bother him when fighting this Ashen Wolf.
Swoosh!!
He instantly disappeared and appeared near the Ashen Wolf. He exchanged position with his [Shadow Ball].
The Ashen Wolf was caught on surprise.
The sword in Souta's hand emitted a red light. He then swung it towards the Ashen Wolf.
[Cross Moon]!!
The Ashen Wolf reflexes were fast. It even managed to move its body slightly to avoid fatal wounds.
"Tsk!!" Souta clicked his tongue when he saw that. He then felt that the other monsters were coming. He waved his left hand and casted [Shadow Bind].
It was to stop them for a few seconds. This number of seconds was enough to finish the Ashen Wolf.
He casted [Shadow Ball] at his side before he charged towards the Ashen Wolf while using [Dash] skill to increase his speed.
Howl!!
The Ashen Wolf didn't back down and it charged forward to clash against him.
Swoosh!!
The Ashen Wolf opened its mouth widely and revealed a row of razor white sharp teeth. It attempted to bite Souta's neck.
Souta teleported back to the [Shadow Ball] spell that he casted before causing the Ashen Wolf to bit the air. Then, a shadow burst out of the ground and it caught the wolf off guarded.
As soon as Souta exchange position with [Shadow Ball] he quickly dashed towards the Ashen Wolf once again. He pulled back his hand and he arrived in front of the wolf. He then used [Stab] skill.
His sword pierced the mouth of the wolf.
A hole appeared in its body. Blood spurted out of the hole like a fountain.
*Ding!*
[You've received 397 exp for defeating the Ashen Wolf!!]
Suddenly, he felt pain in his left hand. His brows narrowed down as he turned his head to look. He saw another Ashen Wolf was biting his hand.
"Argh! That hurts!" Souta cursed as he lifted up his feet and kick the wolf.
Bang!
The wolf flew and shadows chased after it. It strangled the body of the wolf before a spike burst out of the ground and pierced the wolf.
Putchi!!
'A lot weaker than before.' Souta thought then he felt several presences behind him.
He then grinned as he felt the soul that he collected reached the limit. He quickly used the effect of the [Harvester of the Soul] to increase his vitality attribute by ten.
His vitality attribute was the lowest of all attributes that he had. He only had the base stat of 93 and the added 10 attributes of the [Soul Blood Earring], he had 103 vitality in total.
Right now, he used the effect of [Harvester of the Soul] to increase it by ten making it a total of 113 vitality.
It was unlike any other of his stats that could be raised by his [Vajra Sword Saya]. The added stats of the Vajra Sword was focused on increasing his speed.
"Hmm... Let's do this!" Souta said with a smirk on his face. He casted several [Shadow Bind] to restrained those wolves.
He used 6 skill points to level up the [Shadow Bind] skill to six.
Shadows burst out and chased after the wolves. The wolves moved their bodies swiftly and avoided the shadows. But some of the wolves were caught.
Swoosh!! Swoosh!! Swoosh!!
Souta grinned and he poured his mana on his feet before he slightly bent his knees.
Boom!!
He launched himself in the pack of Ashen Wolves.
...
Bryan was fighting the monsters in his own way. He casted buff spells on himself left and right making him extremely powerful.
[Lightning Boots]!!
[Lightning Edge]!!
[Scorching Hand]!!
Bryan charged in the group of evolved orcs. The orcs were five meters tall and it was two meters taller than ordinary orcs. They were armed with huge butcher knives.
The orcs slashed their weapons at him.
Bryan gathered his mana in his fist and used [Blazing Strike].
Boom!!
Bryan was pushed back and he launched himself once again. He threw a punch in the nearest orc.
Bang!!
He then took a step back and found that some of the orcs were already behind him. He lifted up his feet and kicked the orc.
Bang!
"Oho! They are crazy strong..." Bryan said with a smile. He then raised both of his hands in the air.
"Burn them, [Flare Burst]!!"
A huge ball of flames formed above his hand. Bryan threw it towards the group of orcs in front of him.
Boom!!
A huge explosion appeared as the flames swallowed the orcs and it burned their body.
Suddenly...
Putchi!!
A huge cut appeared on Bryan's back. The orcs behind him cut his back and his blood splattered on the ground.
"That hurts!!" Bryan then turned his attention on these orcs. Since he managed to deal with the others, he could now focused on these groups.
He grinned as he gathered his mana in his fists.
...
The guards were pushing the monsters in the front while the adventurers were cutting the monsters on the side. Despite the numbers of the monsters, the guards and adventurers managed to thin them down.
Right now, they already killed more than a thousand monsters in just a few dozen minutes.
The hunters were fighting the most powerful monster in the monster tide. Their fierce battle caused the monsters around them to die.
Souta jumped in the air and saw this scene. The [Bestrou] of that monster even caused the weaker one to die in the explosion. Since the hunters were fighting in the back of the monster tide, it caused the monster tide a lot of casualties.
The souls once again reached the limit of what he could gather. He once again used it on his vitality attribute.
He doesn't need to use it in his strength as his race would increase it as long as he levels up. His intelligence would increase with his class. So, right now he needed to increase his dexterity, agility, and vitality attributes with the effect of [Harvester of the Soul] to balance his stats.
Currently, there's no problem with agility and dexterity attributes as the [Vajra Sword Saya] managed to increase it to the point it surpassed all of his other attributes.
It leaves him with the vitality attribute. His vitality was currently lacking. He experienced it before. He knew that if the [Bestrou] hit him at that time not Bryan then he would die without a doubt.
After this, Souta would gather all the skills that he knew before he evolves to increase the benefits he will receive from evolution.
