Novel Bin Chapter 114 - Monstrous!
??
However, even after considering these things, Oggoth still thought that they would be enough to bring him victory… and in most cases, that would be the case.
No matter how talented an adventure group would be, they would most likely perish against a dozen of Rank 6 monsters with the intelligence of a human… unless there was an adventurer of Rank B or above.
Oggoth did not have much hope for Ervas and Veronica\'s triumph, they were strong, yes, but it was \'impossible\' for them to get strong enough to beat the entire army and the Gazers after a month of training in dungeons.
Oggoth knew that by calculating the power they showed, it should be possible to end them like this if they were to ever get in the way of his army going towards the Raccoon tribes.
The Demon God didn\'t like to fight by himself, and always fought by using armies that he controlled in the shadows, due to these experiences, he was confident in his preferred tactic, that of overwhelming his enemies with quantity over quality.
No matter how inexperienced the Rank 6 Gazers were… they were still Rank 6 monsters, strong enough to bring chaos to a city if left unchecked.
Even if they were inexperienced, they inherited his intelligence and could quickly understand basic tactics and communicate with each other, a dozen of them would surely bring his victory… or so he thought.
Ervas enveloped himself with his spectral soul alongside covering the Cursed Armor he was wearing, which was a clone of Veronica, with a hardened Telekinetic coating… even if he looked like a four to five years old child (Due to his evolutions and \'Demon Metabolism\' Skill at a high level), he was well-armed.
Of course, he had no weapons, as he lacked any proficiency in them outside of Unarmed Fighting Techniques.
The Gazers roared, showing off their sharp teeth and their monstrous side to Ervas, some even had the Aura of Fear skill, trying to intimidate the young child to make him lower his guard, but he was left mostly unfaced.
Some Gazers noticed the awkward expressionlessness of Ervas\' face, and couldn\'t help but feel intimidated themselves.
"W-What are you waiting for! He is rushing towards us! Attack!" roared a Gazer as he charged his mana into his iris, firing a red laser from his eyeball body, while the other Gazers nodded as they began to charge their lasers of different colors depending on their attribute affinities. Others preferred to cast spells, creating magic circles in the air which unleashed large spear-shaped boulder projectiles, fire arrows, water bullets, and swords made out of light or shadows.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
"Spectral Wall, Telekinetic Barrier, Telekinetic Barrier Coating"
Ervas responded by creating a wall with his spectral soul, a Shield Technique he came out by himself, and a Telekinetic Barrier, which he then converged with the Spectral Wall and used Telekinetic Barrier Coating to move the barrier, covering him like a sphere.
The lasers and magic attacks hit his barrier, which cracked multiple times but kept recovering endlessly.
"What… what kind of barrier is that? It\'s regenerating…?"
"Even after all our attacks?"
Ervas approached the desperate Gazers at a fast speed as they began to fly around and to evade him.
"Well, it cost around seven hundred thousand Mana to maintain it while you attack, it is not easy at all…" said Ervas nonchalantly, as he shaped his spectral and telekinetic barrier into large claws, as he moved his own arms, the claws moved at the same time.
"Seven hundred thousand Mana?!"
"Who does have such an amount?!"
"B-Be careful, you two!"
A Gazer alerted two others that had fallen into complete disbelief after hearing Ervas\'s statement, and they were greeted by Ervas giant spectral claws, which were coated in a gauntlet-shaped telekinetic coating.
"Sanguine Slashing Claws, Telekinetic Consecutive Punches," said Ervas, as the phantasmagoric white gray spectral claws covered in telekinesis energy unleashed a variety of attacks in an instant, Ervas\' scarlet eyes shining in a bright and deadly aura.
"F-Fire Wall! Fire Wall! Fire Wall!"
"Water Barrier- Gyaaa!"
One Gazer created multiple Fire Walls while another created a large barrier of flowing water at high pressure to resist Ervas\' attacks, but because his attacks held no magic affinity, they bypassed any resistance that an elemental barrier could create, breaking them all apart as the spectral, semi-transparent claws covered in telekinetic energy slashed and punched the Gazers into pieces.
Ervas wasted nothing as he activated his \'Bloodsucking\' Skill and manipulated the blood in the falling corpses of the Gazers and drank it all, recovering Mana and making his mind clearer.
"What… What a monster!"
"Aberrant!"
"Don\'t lose hope!"
"We must fulfill the task of our father…!"
"No, I am getting out of here!"
"Wait! That\'s what he wants!"
A group of three Gazers lost all hopes of winning after seeing their siblings mercilessly slaughtered by Ervas and enhanced their bodies with all of their mana, flying like bullets through the air, however, Ervas had even more mana, charging it all into his body and flying even faster through the air, chasing the Gazers.
"You\'re not going anywhere… become my allies," said Ervas.
"A-Allies? Will you forgive us?!" said the terrified Gazers.
"After death, that\'s it," said Ervas, breaking the hopes of surviving these creatures into pieces.
The three Gazers had spent large amounts of Mana, only flying like bullets, but it seems that even Ervas was capable of flying like a bullet!
They tried to conjure spells, but their mana was clearly not enough, even less firing a laser, which cost even more mana!
Ervas didn\'t say anything else, raising his phantasmal claws covered in telekinetic energy and slashing the three Gazers in a split second, breaking them into pieces and instantly drinking their blood, which came out of their torn bodies like crimson rivers flowing through the air.
Ervas licked the blood left on his lips as he glanced at the other Gazers, many of them were also running away. Only a few were conjuring magic and firing it against him, in hopes of creating an opportunity for victory, but they were nothing but delusional.
Ervas enhanced his body and spectral soul with Life Attribute Spirit Magic, which was reflected on his attacks even if he didn\'t directly touch the Gazers, and once again used his mana as fuel for flying at fast speeds, resembling a rocket breaking the wind itself.
Flash!
"H-He\'s coming!"
"GRAAA! DIEEE!"
Five Gazers gathered together to converge their Mana, creating a magic circle that generated a giant eye, charging with large amounts of mana and then firing a rainbow ray towards Ervas, directly into his face!
Flash!
His barriers broke apart before he could recover them in time, receiving the whole attack.
For a moment, Ervas felt his skin and flesh incinerate… but at the same time, Gaia constantly conjured recovering magic into his body, coupled with his \'Rapid Healing\' skill, the moment his flesh was burned, it recovered back as if nothing.
The Gazers had thought that they had defeated Ervas, only to see the horrific scene of Ervas eyes growing back inside the eye sockets of his skull.
"I-Impossible!"
"He\'s… he\'s a monster!"
"Who is the real monster in here?!"
"That hurt a bit. I guess my barrier is not as good as I thought, there is a need for more improvements… Telekinesis Force Wave" he said, releasing flashing rays of pure Telekinesis towards the Gazers, blowing them away like flies through the sky.
