Chapter 137: Enemies on Both Sides
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was obvious that Casey and Iamas hadn’t noticed Fike’s warning.
Just as the two were about to turn around...
A massive hammer was rapidly descending onto them.
Just at the critical moment as the strike was about to land...
Fike suddenly appeared, flying at blinding speed straight toward the huge hammer and using his own body to withstand the brunt of the blow.
Casey and Iamas wisely took the opportunity to retreat.
As the group calmed down and took stock of the situation, the giant Demon King-tier Exotic Beast wielding the towering hammer appeared in view in the middle of the market.
Fike had protected himself with the Divine Body, so he wasn’t injured at all.
“Everyone, battle positions!”
Cisco roared.
Thor had already brought his tachi just in front of the Demon King-tier beast.
Running along parallel to the giant hammer, he leaped up before landing on the arm of the colossal beast.
Following that, he flew up once more, landing gracefully on its shoulder.
“Die!”
Thor’s blade seemed to glow and cast a shadow as it drew a beautiful arc in the air.
A surge of Sword Qi followed, rushing toward the right eye of the Demon King-tier Exotic Beast. In a flash, blood splattered in all directions from it.
The beast instinctively reached out its left hand to protect its injured right eye, while the giant hammer remaining in its right hand continued to waver in the sky.
Cisco had been given enough time to finish accumulating power.
Once again, a surge of blue undercurrents rushed toward the lower half of the Demon King-tier beast, forcing it to the ground upon contact.
“Fike! Are you okay?!”
Lan Xi shouted.
“I’m fine!”
Suddenly, the Demon King-tier Exotic Beast’s left eye flashed with a crimson light.
[Hidden Information: The Demon King-tier Exotic Beast’s ace skill, Gift of the Evil God. This greatly increases its strength and speed for a short period of time, putting it in a state of invincibility. Please pay attention to your defenses!]
After seeing the hidden message, Fike called out in warning.
“Professor Thor! Be careful! The monster’s about to attack!”
Hearing this, The Melee School professor performed a nimble backflip in the air.
Hidden weapons flew out from his sleeves, all of them flying directly toward the body of the Demon King-tier Exotic Beast.
The power behind them was so great that the blades of each weapon completely embedded themselves into the beast’s thick hide.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The Demon King-tier Exotic Beast raged.
By now, Fike’s Demon Slaying Ray had already been fully charged.
The divine holy light shot straight toward the other exposed eye of the Demon King-tier beast.
At the moment it made contact, the amplification effects of Casey’s and Iamas’ spells overlapped with the golden beam, causing the beast to whimper and swing its hammer around wantonly in the air in pain.
“Both its eyes are already blind! Take this opportunity! Let’s go all out!”
Hankov cried out.
The Demon King-tier Exotic Beast’s eyes were already bleeding profusely.
However, relying solely on its ability to detect auras, it managed to sense and attack Fike.
Fike smiled confidently as he easily dodged the ferocious swing with a leap.
Just as he was still hanging in mid-air, another notice came from the hidden information.
[Hidden Information: Warning! Warning! Warning! Two Demon King-tier Exotic Beasts are approaching from the fourth floor! Danger! Danger! Danger!]
Looking up, Fike immediately yelled.
“Watch out for the stairs!”
Before he could even finish his sentence, the two Demon King-tier Exotic Beasts landed at the bottom of the stairway to the fourth floor, the three behemoths now ominously surrounding the group.
They only had two choices now.
They could either retreat to the second floor, rushing past the blind beast they were initially fighting, or they could break through the two Demon King-tier Exotic Beasts that were now guarding the stairs leading to the fourth floor.
Fike was used to running away whenever he encountered danger.
Only if he was out of options would he fight with his life on the line.
However, unlike before, Fike wasn’t fighting alone this time.
He still had four powerful professors with him.
Cisco spared him the dilemma.
“Casey, Iamas, and I will deal with these two monsters. Fike! You and Thor take care of that blind one quick!”
“Roger!”
Fike replied sharply.
Thor once again raised his sword as he rapidly approached the body of the Demon King-tier Exotic Beast.
The tachi sliced clean through the flesh of the beast, clearly exposing the bones under its muscles.
Surprised as he was, there was no time for Fike to express his awe at the power of Thor’s swordplay.
He quickly adjusted into combat, releasing another burst of the Demon Slaying Ray, leaving the creature with no way out.
Meanwhile, Thor’s blade was already pressed against the throat of the Demon King-tier Exotic Beast.
“Shatter!”
Thor roared.
An immense surge of Sword Qi gathered at the front of the blade, against the creature’s throat, before exploding violently.
The intersecting, chaotic airflow resulting from the explosion seemed to distort space and time.
Following Thor’s incredible strike, the beast finally fell.
[Hidden Information: Attention! Attention! Attention! The beast isn’t dead yet! ]
“Professor Thor! Be careful!”
Thor had faced his back to the fallen body of the blind Demon King-tier beast.
The colossal hammer in the beast’s hand suddenly came plunging down toward the professor’s skull.
A huge sound that would’ve made anyone wince resounded.
Time seemed to have come to a standstill as Thor simply stood quietly.
A line of blood flowed down from his head.
After a moment of silence, Thor finally opened his mouth.
“You damned beast, you actually made me bleed!”
Thor drew his sword in the blink of an eye, and the tachi was immediately slashing away at the weakened Demon King-tier Exotic Beast once again.
In Fike’s eyes, Thor was no longer using any complex sword techniques. He looked more like he was just venting out his anger.
“You damn beast!”
Thor cursed relentlessly.
Suddenly, Cisco’s voice broke through.
“Thor! Thor! That monster is dead!
“Come and help us! We can’t hold on much longer!”
Thor only snapped back to his senses after hearing Cisco’s cry.
He turned around, running directly toward the two remaining Demon King-tier Exotic Beasts without missing a breath.
Fike had also started channeling the blood-red full moon.
“Divine Snowfall!”
The entire third floor was immediately flash-frozen, clearly restricting the speed of the two Demon King-tier beasts.
Thor once again pointed his blade at the heads of the two creatures.
“Break!”
He yelled.
A mass of Sword Qi surged erratically around the tachi in Thor’s hands before a powerful sliver of it swept across throughout the entire third floor.
Almost at the same time, Fike’s blood-red full moon found its targets on the two beasts as well.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
A blinding light wave filled the entire room. The resulting airflow was sufficient to force back any ordinary person by a few meters, knocking up smoke and dust in the process.
As the two Demon King-tier Exotic Beasts howled in pain, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
When the scene cleared, the bodies of the two Exotic Beasts laid lifeless on the stairs leading to the fourth floor.
