Chapter 281 First Day Of The Raid [Pt 2]
"Fiery Destruction!"
~BOOOOOM!~
"Ice Prison!"
~FSHIII!~
"Wind Vortex!"
~WHOOOSH!~
"Descent Of Light!"
~SHIIIINNNGGG!~
Various Spells stemming from Skills were being called out, filling the vast expanse with the voices of the Otherworlders.
They were all followed by explosions or sounds of destruction.
… Every single time.
The cause for yelling out Spells was because, unlike Skills, Spells had to be Chanted aloud.
Unless one had the [Magic Application] Skill that Lucielle possessed, or perhaps something better, they were stuck with that arrangement.
In fact, they had to cast the full Spell if they wanted to bring out its full power, which most didn't have the time for.
As a result, while the abilities being displayed were lesser than they would have been if they were fully Chanted, they were still very efficient and effective.
Evidence of that was the damage done to the area, and the falling Monsters in the expanse.
None was spared.
"Haaa…!"
With all of this action going on, there was one more person who ventured forth and did what needed to be done.
He bravely marched forward and challenged the monsters who were at least twice his size.
"Raahhhh!" Rey gave a battle cry as he dashed onward.
The fear that previously stained his face was nowhere to be seen. The only thing in his eyes was the intent of winning.
~WHOOSH!~
He leaped from his position, just barely fast enough to evade the slashes of the enemy.
Once he did so, he jumped straight for his opponent's face and transformed his hand to an extremely sharp weapon of execution.
~SWISH!~
In one powerful swing, he decapitated the beast.
~THUD!~
As soon as the creature crashed to the ground, Rey lightly landed behind it, meeting two other Monsters who threatened to end his life.
He dodged the attack of one and blocked the second's slash with his shield.
"Guh!" The force was enough to make him recoil, but he didn't allow himself to remain stunned for too long.
He dodged the next strike by a hair's breadth and charged towards the creature before him.
His Enchanted Items definitely played a huge role in his enhanced speed, allowing him to traverse the needed distance in no time.
And so…
"Yahhh!"
… He was able to close the gap in no time.
With a graceful stride, he slid behind the creature and utilized all his strength to cut off multiple legs of the abomination.
"KRIIIII!" The Monster screeched as it lost its balance, swaying its heavy body violently.
Rey took this chance to leap high into the air and slice off its head with utmost precision.
Blood sprayed all over as his second executed beast began to collapse to the ground.
However… there remained one more close to him, and its massive claws neared him at an astronomical rate.
"Tch!" He swiftly activated the defensive ability of his helmet, which allowed an incorporeal shield to appear in front of him.
~SWISH!~
As the beast swung its heavy claw at Rey, his massive shield blocked the attack and saved his life—albeit barely.
He swallowed the saliva in his throat and managed to properly gain his footing after landing on the ground.
The snarling creature appeared annoyed at the fact that Rey had escaped its attack, the opposite of Rey's expression of relief.
"Huff… huff…" Rey narrowed his eyes as he closely examined the creature.
He couldn't get careless at this point.
'I can do this!' His face seemed to scream out as he took a sprint stance, ready to give the subjugation one last chance.
"KRIIIAAKKKK!"
The Monster charged at Rey with its multiple spider appendages making clicking noises as they smashed the ground to reach him.
Rey activated the function of his necklace and sent many blasts to the Spider-Wolf's legs, causing it to screech out in pain.
It stumbled at some point, which gave Rey the perfect chance to advance.
He didn't miss chance.
~WHOOOSH!~
He activated the only Non-Exclusive Skill he had in his arsenal, [Sprint], obtained from his training with Ralyks, which allowed him to double his speed for a set period of time.
He charged ahead and easily reached the stumbling creature in less than half of the time it would have normally taken.
He transformed his legs into a powerful variant that could allow him to leap ahead with great force.
~BOOM!~
The ground shattered a little, and he was propelled as a result of his kangaroo-like legs.
He twisted in the air and created blades with both hands.
"KRIII—?!"
The Wolf-Spider swiftly thrust its hands to catch Rey before it could slice off its head, but Rey's spinning form easily cut through the hand of the beast.
As the monster's fingers and arms were diced into multiple fleshy chunks, the beast realized its death was inevitable.
In the end, even this weakling had triumphed over it.
~SWISH!~
In one powerful slash, its head was cut off.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, but the executor had long flown from that area and rushed forward in search of his next prey.
His eyes went alight with desire, and before long, he also wore the same expression as everyone else around him.
—A smile of excitement.
Of course, no one knew what went on his mind as he found his next target and charged toward it.
They could only know one thing.
This wasn't the same Rey that was a weakling back then. Just like everyone else, he had grown a lot stronger.
He was fit to be called an Otherworlder.
********
'Ahh… this is boring.'
As Rey killed his next foe, he fought back the urge to leak out a sigh.
So far, he had killed four Monsters while everyone else was nearing their tenth mark.
'I would say that's pretty standard.' His thoughts trailed.
The problem was that he wasn't gaining any EXP from the Monsters that he was killing.
'Even if I killed everything here, I doubt I'll be able to Level Up once…'
No, that was even too ambitious.
Rey had reached a point of growth that killing a hundred Monsters of this caliber wouldn't give him 10% EXP.
As a result, every action that he was taking felt too monotonous.
'But I have to endure.'
In the end, this wasn't for his benefit.
'The rest should grow as well…' He stole a glance at all his classmates, finding them smiling.
He couldn't help but leak out a grin as well.
'They're enjoying themselves, growing stronger in the process.'
This was what he wanted.
'Let's see how long that lasts.'
