It's rumored that once it trains to the highest level, its slash can easily cut through steel.***Yuno's eyes widened. The creature had weak health and defense capabilities but possessed terrifying attack strength. That wind blade, it was deadly.The mantis raised its head when it detected the presence of the intruders.The piglet had already taken a defensive posture with her body in a rigid position. Yuno swallowed. "Don't be rash," he warned.The tension was suffocating. The mantis settled into a strike position.Then,A gigantic dark shape appeared above them.The falling ro

Chapter 13: Possessed Stump"What was that?!" A Level 18 Possessed Stump appeared from the dense grass.The stump moved with cracking wood as it stared at them with its red glowing eyes.Yuno quickly analyzed it."This thing is strong… and it looks like its defense is insane."The stump attacked again. Piggy managed to evade the attack but her counterstrike resulted in the opposing force bouncing back to push her away.The instant Yuno saw the monster he understood it possessed a damage reflection capability."Piggy! He yelled at her to avoid any direct assault.Piggy remained disoriented because of her previous assault.The Possessed Stump prepared for another strike.Yuno had to act fast. He had no other option so he triggered Spore Explosion to produce a dense light orange fog.Spores flooded the air while visibility became completely obstructed.The stump paused in its tracks because it lost sight of them within the thick fog.Seizing the opportunity, Yuno grabbed Piggy and whispe

Chapter 15: Low On Stamina A horrifying crunch echoed through the battlefield. The exoskeleton shattered under the sheer pressure, splitting open like a brittle shell. The mantis let out a piercing, inhuman shriek as its body convulsed violently. Thick, toxic fluids burst out, splattering onto the ground in sickly green puddles. Its limbs flailed wildly, scraping against the earth in a desperate attempt to retaliate.But Yuno didn't let up. He couldn't.The fight wasn't over yet."Piggy, one more time!" he shouted, his voice carrying unwavering resolve.Piggy reacted instantly, her hooves digging into the dirt as she sprinted forward. She moved like a bullet, pure muscle and instinct working in perfect harmony. The battlefield trembled beneath her as she closed the distance with frightening speed.Then.She leapt.Her body twisted midair, her small yet incredibly dense frame gaining even more power as she prepared for the final blow.She descended like a meteor.And then.CRUNCH!Her

Chapter 17: The Storm Hawks Wrath The environment carried substantial pressure. The battlefield's remnants remained visible across the ground where crushed plants mixed with broken rocks and persistent dust particles refused to disappear. Yuno stayed concealed while his body shook from the effort to understand what was happening. His fear of the mages had already reached its peak before something even more threatening appeared.A dreadful force stood as an imposing presence above all of them. Yuno initially doubted whether the sound was genuine or simply a wind illusion. A deep piercing cry cut through the sky with a metallic tone. The sound cut through the air like metal and made his nonexistent body tremble.The two mages froze in place. Their faces which had shown confidence before now displayed clear signs of discomfort. The two mages raised their eyes to scan the sky for the source of the noise. The mage with long hair tightened his fists."Tch. The long-haired mage spoke quietl

chapter 19: three offspringThe bald mage's trembling fingers dug into the teleportation scroll, his breath ragged, his entire body shaking from exhaustion. He had to leave. Now. There was no time to hesitate.His lips parted, just barely managing to whisper the first syllables of the incantation.But then.FWOOOSH!Something ignited.A searing golden-red light flared to life beneath his feet, illuminating the battlefield in an unnatural glow. It was a magic circle, intricate, unstoppable, its symbols burning into the very ground itself. The heat alone was suffocating, pressing against him like an invisible force.His pupils shrunk to pinpricks."No… no, no, no!"His scream barely had time to leave his throat before.BOOM!The flames erupted, swallowing him whole.Heat seared through his nerves, an all-consuming inferno that tore apart everything in its path. His robe caught fire instantly. His flesh? It peeled away like paper, melting, burning, disintegrating before he could even rea
