BXBX NOVEL Chapter 263 - Monsters In The Path
A week has passed since. 7 including the kids, were now in the middle of another snowstorm preventing John from flying them up in the air.
They had entered a snowy forest which was beside a snow-covered mountain, because of this, they had to be more careful.
The forest had an open path which allowed one to pass through it, despite all the snow making it easier for them to head towards their destination, but the monsters in the path didn\'t make things any easier.
"Right!" John shouted
In that instant, Ariel who was behind him, released two wind spears straight at the Ogre who was heading straight towards them.
The ogre had the angered face which was often mistaken for that of a demon. A big frame and blood red-skin. It carried a cub and slowly made it\'s way towards the carriage as it broke down the trees in it\'s path. Those who had fallen were carried and controlled by their emotion of rage.
The ogre was definitely a dangerous monster, but that wasn\'t the only one they had to worry about. There was another two in front of the carriage, and another two to its left.
Along with that, the howl of wolves could be heard from behind the carriage as it moved through the path.
"We\'re surrounded." John muttered as he raised his arm.
Master Sylvia, vanished before reappearing behind the ogre as the two wind spears hit it directly.
They spears weren\'t strong enough to fully pierce his skin, but they managed to drop the ogre down to his knees as it came into contact with his legs.
The moment it dropped, It\'s head was cleanly sliced off of it\'s neck as Master Sylvia pulled out her dagger, behind it.
The part of the neck which had been sliced off, quickly lit up in flames before engulfing the rest of the monster\'s body
The nearby snow quickly turned into steam as the flame engulfed body fell onto the floor. Master Sylvia watched as the ogre stuggled despite no longer having a head.
But the struggle stopped as the flames dispersed before they could spread to the trees leaving only it\'s burnt body lying on the ground.
"One." Said Master Sylvia before vanishing and reappearing in front of another who was near the one she had killed.
Seeing this, John focused on the left side of the carriage. There were two ogres closing in.
"You two handle the front, I\'ll handle the left." Said John before propelling himself away.
The two nodded before preparing their spells. John who saw this, quickly turned his attention to what he was heading towards.
[2 ogres... Finally, something to help me take out my stress.] John thought to himself.
He pulled out his daggers before activating \'modero\'.
The monster\'s movements which were already inferior in speed compared to him, now looked as if they were barely moving. As this happened, lightning sparks began to flow through John\'s body as a grin was formed on his face.
*BZZZZZZT!!!*
In a single second, John passed through the two ogres, leaving a trace of electricity behind as if he was a lightning bolt.
The monster\'s eyes widened before both of their arms and necks fell off their body. But Jogn wasn\'t finished, right their limbs could touch the floor.
*Slash* *Slash* *Slash*
Their body was cut into five pieces before being completely frozen and engulfed in ice.
"Break." John muttered as his eye glowed a yellow colour
*Crack* *Crack*
The frozen figures of the dismembered ogres was broken into little tiny pieces while John walked right past them.
[...6 out of 10.] John thought to himself before turning back to the carriage.
It was faster to leap than to propel himself while \'Fulgurationem\' was active. Translation: Lightning Flash
But right before he did, he noticed that Serena and Ariel had only just released their spell.
[Was I too fast?]
John then turned to their target which was the two ogres in front of the carriage before leaping straight at it.
[Serena will be mad at me for killing it before them but... It should be fine.]
John leapt straight towards the ogres which stood in front of the carriage, as electricity continued to pass through his body.
Fulgurationem, a technique which used electricity to speed up not only his heart rate, but to freely transfer all the explosive magical power which John would gather in his body and convert it into kinetic energy. Drastically increasing his movement speed in the process.
One of John\'s favourite techniques and an unstoppable combination with \'modero\', no doubt. He reached the ogres in a few seconds and right as he did.
He swung both daggers, his left for the ogre on the left and the right dagger for the one on the right. He swung each dagger differently, and slashed the ogres around three times as he passed right through them.
There was contact, yet barely any blood. John had managed to do it fast enough so that no stains would get on his precious daggers.
The ogre on the left dropped to the ground as it was beheaded. It\'s head chopped into two pieces, while the ogre on the right, simple had blood splurting out of the right side of it\'s neck.
[Hm? I hit them both with the same power on the same spot.]
It was then that John noticed, the ogre on the right had a dark-blue skin with long spiky and scuffy white hair which resembled the snow.
This one had strange red patterns throughout it\'s body, and definitely had more bloodlust and rage emitting from it than the others.
"The leader.." John muttered before turning to it.
The ogre turned to John as it let out deep and angered breaths. Rather than holding a cub, it held onto a large blade which hanged on it\'s waist.
Despite having a metal blade, it only carried cloth and had no armour. That was already a major disadvantage for it.
The ogre seemed to be dying to rip John to shreds and John decided to give him to opportunity.
"One on one."
John got into his attack stance, as he focused on the electric flow within him. However, John\'s concentration along with the ogres was disturbed as a flaming wind Drill pierced straight through the ogre\'s chest from it\'s back.
The attack came from Serena and Ariel. The two had a very satisfied smile formed on their face before Serena began trembling as she tried holding back her laugh.
"....Really?"
