BXBX NOVEL Chapter 276 The Armoured LadyBug
Just when William moved a few hundred metres away, he spotted monsters coming at him. "As expected, they are all bronze grade," William didn\'t lower his guard even when he knew his earlier guess was correct.
After all, he was standing alone, facing around twenty different kinds of monsters. They might seem weak, but they had different traits in this group.
Few excelled at offence, others were adept at defence, and few were fast runners! William didn\'t have the mind nor time to properly analyse these, and simply dashed forward for ten metres, hitting three with his sword.
And with his knives, he took almost seven monsters out, severely wounding five more!
In the first exchange, and just from the opening clash, William ended up removing more than half of his enemies without any trouble.
And that simply shocked Sara while she watched him dealing with the rest as if this was a mere walk in the park for him.
"Tsk! He doesn\'t need any help at all! I doubt he\'d ever need any help at all!" she shook her head while watching the last monster fall to the ground on William\'s sword.
But it seemed she jinxed him or something, as the next instant, a mighty roar appeared with a black flash that aimed directly towards William.
*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!* *Flash!*
William\'s response and reaction wasn\'t any bit slow at all! The moment he felt something was amiss, he simply waved his sword, moved his knives to intercept the newcomer, and dashed directly towards it.
He learnt through his vast experience that facing such sneaky and hidden attacks was best done by closing up the distance and fiercely clashing against what was coming, not retreating away from it.
The knives got blocked as they clashed against hard shell-like shields. And for the first time ever, his sword got stopped on one of these shells, leaving behind one deep crack there.
"The Armoured Ladybug… What a troublesome dude I met this time," William instantly recognised the monster that attacked him, admitting how hard it was going to be to take it down.
This was in the size of a small truck, with a general semi-circular shield that got formed of many smaller, oval shaped, red and black shells.
The monster looked like a giant turtle shell from outside, and William knew this dude got more than what was shown on the surface.
First and foremost troublesome thing this dude got was the two folded and deeply hidden wings of it! They weren\'t made out of thin membrane like flesh, or made out of feathers, but from the unbelievable control over its oval shells on its back and making them take the shape of two wings!
They weren\'t meant to allow this beast to fly, but to accelerate at a terrifying speed. Not only that, but it also provided a perfect protection for it against any incoming attack. Not to mention the edge of these wings were quite sharp and deadly, enough to take down any gold grade master\'s defensive gears and techniques!
This monster was at a gold grade but considered hard to deal with without any dark gold spirit master in the team.
"Facing not only one, but two of such dudes here isn\'t a coincidence…"
If he tried to retreat, then he was going to be doomed. This was one of the worst monsters to try to run away from.
William didn\'t stop his moves, dashed forward again, not giving this huge dude a chance to create a distance between it and William.
The latter knew how hard it was to fight something like this monster, one that excelled not at speed, but sudden outburst of speed and accelerating through short distances.
If he dared to let this dude have enough distance away from him, then it\'d be quite hard for William to defend against this monster without using his fast-moving technique.
As William knew he had to deplete his spirit power against this monster using his speed technique, he decided to waste his spirit power while attacking not defending.
At least he got a chance this way.
*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*
And like machine guns, William kept hitting this monster on the back, while repeatedly releasing his knives against its shells.
Even if the knives were one grade lower, they got infused with his lightning element. They left a few marks behind; all were powered up with lightning.
"Lightning is the way," after flashing and dancing around for half a minute, and consuming close to half of his spirit power, William finally ignited his leftover spirit power on the monster\'s body.
From afar, Sara watched this intense and brutal fight, while feeling quite scared and a bit worried over William. She wanted to help, but she felt this level of battle was way beyond what she could handle.
She feared she\'d go out there and turn into a liability to William, not help.
"At least I can help in preventing other monsters from attacking him," she decided to move, intercept any monster which dared to draw near this battle between William and that LadyBug.
Monsters were flooding this place from every direction. But thanks to her luck, only those with one grade lower than hers appeared around, making it an easy task to handle them.
*Sizzle!*
And just when she killed the fifth monster, she heard such loud sizzling as arcs of lightning appeared from one direction.
She couldn\'t help but stop, turn and look in the direction of William. There she saw the lightning coming out from the back of that huge LadyBug, the same type of attack William used on Ibra.
"Is it going to sleep?" she couldn\'t help but pray the same result would be repeated, but she was wrong! And she missed a tiny and far important little detail in that lightning attack.
That LadyBug was the size of a small truck and had hard shells over its body. So, dreaming about letting it fall to sleep or even feel dizzy wasn\'t realistic!
Not to mention the already existent gap between William\'s spirit power level and this monster.
