Chapter 309: Battle Against the Humanoid Monster!
Miles looked at the monster in dread. He saw this monster carrying a monster weighing more than tens of thousands kilos with a single hand and piercing through its hard body with a single attack. This monster wasnt something they could deal with, with their puny powers.
Give them back. Monster spoke with monster language by reaching out his hand. Xavic and Zall couldnt understand what the monster was saying, but from its gesture, it was easy to guess. Miles, on the other hand, understood what the monster was saying.
Miles pulled the vacuum bag and held it in his arm. The monster saw the fruits and its eyes looked even crazier. He was about to move when Miles stopped it. Stop, or I will destroy them.
Miles spoke in human language, but the monster understood what he meant. Invisible energy covered the bag, if Miles wanted to, the fruits would explode to smithereens. Although the monster was fast, it still couldnt stop them from exploding.
Stop! Monster shouted. It halted with its hand raised in front of it. I will let you go, give me the fruits.
What the hell is it saying? Xavic asked in fear.
I dont know, but it seems like it doesnt want fruits to get destroyed. Keep holding them, Miles. Zall said.
Miles looked at his two friends and the monster. Unlike them, he could understand the monster. Although it seemed desperate, it still wasnt merciful to let them go if Miles were to give fruits.
Let my friends go, and I will give these to you, Miles said in monster language. Monster, Zall, and Xavic all three looked at Miles with surprise visible on their faces.
What the hell, Miles? Xavic asked. Although he couldnt understand, he could still sense that the language was the same as monsters.
I learned it from a monster. It is not important, you guys go ahead, I will come after you. Miles answered. He didnt take his eyes from the monster, not for a second.
How do you know our language? The monster looked at Miles with suspicion.
I learned from something higher than you can imagine, Miles smirked and answered.
Hmph. As if I would believe you. The monster looked uncertain but didnt want to believe it either. I will let your friends go. Then you will give me the fruits, then I will let you go too.
Sure. Miles smiled and looked at the monster. You guys go ahead, I will meet with you later.
If you think we are leaving, you are dreaming buddy, Xavic said as lightning started to crack in his hand.
Stop being a fool. If we fight, we have no chance at all. Go, I will catch up. I swear. Miles said.
I am not fucking going anywhere, Xavic said with rage. Lightning started to crack around his body, as he formed a sword of lightning. Either we leave together or lets die together. I will not leave a friend behind.
Zall, take the fool with you. He is having Protagonist Syndrome again. Miles shook his head and said.
Sorry, Miles. This time, I am with this stupid. Excuse my foolishness, but I will not leave you alone either. Zall slowly said.
I said get the hell out! It is not a joke, you idiots. Miles shouted with anger. He wasnt trying to save them only, but they really had no chance against this monster. At the moment, Miles was holding the fruits in his hand and had leverage against the monster. But if the monster threatened him with the lives of Xavic and Zall, he would lose this leverage.
Seeing through Miles's thoughts, the monster moved at a fast speed to appear in front of Xavic. Miles was expecting a move and moved almost at the same time and appeared before the duo with Frontal Rush. He kept the fruit bag in front of him, so if the monster attacked, the fruits would explode. The monster looked at Miles with surprise as it drew its hands back. It didnt attack with its full force so it wouldnt kill the human accidentally, but it was still baffling to see a human was able to act fast enough to appear before him.
Miles didn't let go of the opening, and attacked with Viscount Percivals Mountain Fist!
The fist shone with orange light moved to the enemys chest. The humanoid monster was too fast and strong to be injured by normal means, but Miles had to attack while it was recovering from its previous attack.
The humanoid monster tried to defend, but it was still withdrawing its hand. It wasnt easy to pull back the attack, after being charged, so it gave Miles an opening.
Miless attack landed on the monster's chest and sent it reeling back. Xavic was already ready to attack and holding a bolt of lightning. When Miles punched it, Xavic sent the attack and it landed on the monster. Although their level was too low compared to the monster, Xavics stunning lightning still had an effect. And because the monster was an aquatic beast, lightning smote it even more.
Zall, when noticed the monster was attacking, tried to move in front of Xavic, but he was a bit late. When he reached, the monster was already paralyzed on the ground. Its eyes were looking at the trio balefully.
But in that split second, a mask appeared on his giant face and two lotuses appeared on top of the monster's body. The monster looked at the mask and the lotuses on its body but shrugged it off as insignificant.
Zall, protect us, Miles said. The thing got out of hand and he could only fight now. He pulled the bow from his back and tied the fruit bag to the back of his hand with the energy. At the moment that bag was the strongest shield they had. Miles pulled an arrow from his bag and covered it with his already depleted energy and aimed at the monster.
When his previous attack landed on the monster, Miles realized that monster wasnt as strong as a pinnacle-tier creature. Although he was surprised, he realized what was going on. The crocodile monster was strong, probably at the top of the Frenzy-Rank. But it was still helpless in front of the humanoid monster. The latter pulled unknown power from the tattoo it showed at the beginning of the battle. It had a similar effect with the Exaltedness of the Creator. Although it boosted the humanoid monsters powers tremendously, now it was having its side effects. It was in its weak period.
The arrow shone with brilliant light, unlike the invisible arrows he created. Viscount Percivals Piercing Arrow!
This was Miless only Frenzy-Rank arrow and was kept in his bag, but now he had to use it. The energy technique would increase the piercing ability of the arrow, making it more deadly.
Now that the enemy was stunned, it was a chance for Miles to nail it on the eye.
The arrow left the bow like a speeding shuttle and arrived at the monster in a split second. The humanoid monster looked at the arrow with its pupil constricted. He couldnt move as the stun was still effective. Just as the arrow was about to hit, the trident which fastened on the ground previously appeared in front of the humanoid monster. Blocking the trajectory of the arrow.
A smirk formed in the twitching face of the monster, but when it saw Miless smiling face, it vanished as quickly.
