Chapter 102: Crocodiles?



102 Crocodiles?

With Alex's speed alone. He already reached the Death Forest with just a day of running. Alex looked at the big trees surrounding it. He felt determined than ever. He didn't waste any time and went inside the forest. Unlike when he was with Alicia and Firia. This time he went straight toward the inner forest. It didn't take him that many times before reaching the inner forest.

Alex looked at a direction where he felt the connection stronger. Up to here, he killed many monsters but only those rank 5 or lower which he can insta-kill. Alex continued marching forward. It was in the center of the forest that he finally felt the connection intensified by much. But on the other hand, because of the intensity, he can't pinpoint where is the center of this feeling.

Alex frowned, "it seems I can only search it slowly"

He was already careful enough to not encounter any high-rank monsters when he got closer to the center. But now, there is a monster in front of him. The monster is a beetle. Judging from its aura, this monster was only a rank 7 monster. But he still needs to be careful. Alex pulled out his sword. This beetle seems to have a good defense. The monster that good on offense was dangerous, but the monster that good on defense was troublesome. They were very hard to kill.

Alex took out the rank 8 spear from the system. He will go all out from the start to finish the battle as short as possible.

"Flash Step"

Alex disappeared from the scene. The beetle seems can't follow his movement which is convenient for him. The moment he appeared. Alex already got behind the beetle and thrust his spear. The beetle didn't have any chance to react. Alex's spear already touched his back. The beetle was flying because of the momentum after he got trusted by Alex's spear.

Alex looked at the beetle. His spear just now didn't manage to pierce the beetle. As expected from rank 7 defensive monster. He really needs to find his weak point if he wanted to kill it easily. Alex didn't stop there. He made a few fire arrows. the fire arrows already started flying toward the beetle. The beetle opened its wing and flew to dodge the fire arrows. but Alex's fire arrows which supposed to miss suddenly flew upward and chasing the beetle. Even Alex was shocked by what just happened.

Alex confused with what just happened. Was there any connection between this and the connection he felt? He thought. But that thought was disappeared when he suddenly heard Sherry's voice.

"Wuu Wuu Wuu"

"Sherry?" Alex was surprised. "What? You can control my fire?"

"Wuu Wuu"

"I see. This way, we can fight together without revealing your form. This way, you can control the fire to attack the opponent and I will be the one in charge of weapon"

"Wuu Wuu"

"Alright. I will leave it to you"

Now, with Sherry in charge of his element. He can focus on his weapon. This way, his opponent was like fighting two people. They will get a hard time.

Another few fire arrows appeared again. These fire arrows got together with the previous fire arrows and flew toward the beetle together like a homing missile. Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

A series of explosion was heard. Sherry finally managed to hit the beetle. Because of that many fire arrows. the beetle finally fell down to the ground again. Alex was a bit shocked by his flame. After looking at those fire arrows. He felt his flame got even stronger than before. He didn't feel any difference when he released the fire arrows but when he finally saw the result, he confirmed that his fire was stronger than ever. Was it because Sherry? Or was there anything he missed? Did he forget any flame improvement he made or tried? But he can't be bothered by this thought, for now, he was still in the battle. He can research it after he got back later.

"Flash Step"

Alex arrived in front of the beetle. He thrust his spear once again. Even though it's still didn't manage to pierce the beetle. This time, Alex adjusted his aim. He didn't make the beetle flew again like before. He made the beetle pinned to the ground. Because of that. Now the beetle was pinned on the ground.

"Boost Step"

Alex used his Boost Step on his spear and finally managed to pierce the beetle's carapace. Though it was very shallow. The beetle seems to mock him because he will fail to kill him if he continued this way. But Alex also smirked a little. Behind his Boost Step, he also prepared for another move.

"Sanguin Sword Art. Seventh Slash"

This Seventh Slash target wasn't the beetle but the spear. Alex wanted to use the powerful force from the Seventh Slash to boost his spear, like a nail and a hammer, and finally, the beetle was pierced like a wood.

Now with that wound as the base. Alex continued to wound the beetle again and again. After a short while, he finally killed the beetle.

[Gacha Ticket Acquired]

Alex pulled out his spear and continue onward. He didn't have any time to bother with the Ticket for now.

He met a few rank 7 monsters on his way. Though they were a bit troublesome. Alex managed to kill them without getting any injuries. After resting for a while, he managed to restore his expended energy and mana.

When he walking inside the forest, searching for 'that'. He suddenly stopped. "The feeling was intensified around here"

Alex searched for his surroundings. He felt the answer he seeks was around here. But where exactly the entrance?

Alex continued for a while but still no sign of 'that' place.

"Sherry, do you feel anything?"

"Wuu Wuu Wuu (Master, I got the same feeling as you. But if I wanted to choose, I would love to move there)"

Alex felt some direction inside his heart, it must be the place Sherry's pointed at. He also felt that he can understand Sherry better. He followed the direction in his heart. He found some kind of small mountain. It wasn't that big, only around ten meters height, but a bit huge in width. It was covered completely from the forests. If others flew to search this rock, they won't see it from above. But when they were on the ground and they would only saw this weird looking stone mountain but they won't feel anything different from this stone mountain. But Alex was different, he felt this is the place. This is the place that he was searching for. When he just about to enter the mountain he suddenly found two monsters there.

The monsters were crocodiles. But the difference from the earth crocodiles, these crocodiles can walk in their feet. As expected of the fantasy world. Even the crocodiles can walk in two feet. But what made him hesitated, because he clearly felt the difference in their power. These two crocodiles were rank 8 monsters. Now he was contemplating. He really needs to go there and search for 'it'. But he needs to kill these two first, if not he can't search 'it' without getting attacked from these two.

Alex thought for a plan for a moment. How can he defeat them? Should he go back and get reinforcement? He immediately shook his head, He didn't have any time for that, he needs to get the cure for Alicia as soon as possible. The only way for him to win is…

Alex sighed a long breath, preparing himself for the upcoming battle. "Sherry. Use my fire to hold the crocodile on the right back. I will use that time to kill the other crocodile."

"Wuu"

After Sherry 'OK'. He finally stepped forward. He silently approached the crocodiles, when he got close enough, He aimed his rank 8 spear to the crocodile on his left.

"Spear Throwing Art. Spin Throwing"

He wanted to take this chance to make a surprise attack, hopefully, one of the crocodiles killed by his spear. As soon as he threw the spear, he also jumped forward. He needed to grab the spear back.

"Roar" The crocodiles noticed the spear, as well as Alex. The crocodiles on the left, was startled because the spear aimed to him.

"Boom"

The crocodile barely dodged the spear. But it still takes his right hand. Alex continued and arrived in front of the two crocodiles. Sherry made a few fire arrows and threw it to the ground. The purpose was simple, it was to make a smokescreen for Alex to grab his spear.

Alex who got his spear back immediately leaped forward and thrust his spear toward the injured crocodile. The injured crocodile already prepared now. It dodged Alex's thrust completely. It whipped its tail to Alex.

"Sanguin Sword Art. Seventh Slash"

The tail and the sword wave clashed. But Alex didn't stop only there.

"Flame Sword Wave"

Alex finally used his Flame Sword Wave again. After he got the Sanguin Sword Art and his other techniques, he seems forgotten about this move or maybe because he refused to use his flame, this move got forgotten. This was one of the most powerful moves in Alex's repertoire, with a sudden move like that. Alex got his tail. The crocodile now had his hand and tail cut. With powerful monsters as his enemies, this is a good chance to release it again.

"Roar!"

The other crocodile roared. The smokescreen also has been cleared away. With that, Alex immediately retreated a few steps from them. This time, the two crocodiles fully prepared for Alex's attacks. But with the clashed just now, Alex managed to get a hand and a tail from a rank 8 monster. It was already got him an advantage.

"Sherry"

Sherry also started doing her job. Sherry used Alex's flame arrow. The fire arrows flew toward the other crocodile while Alex focused on the injured one according to the plan.

"Fleeting Step"

This time, since the crocodile already prepared. He used his fleeting step to confront the crocodile head-on. Alex slowly and unpredictably walking closer to the crocodile. The crocodile sense the danger, it immediately charged at him, hoping to break Alex's movement. Alex already predicted this. When the crocodile almost reached him, Alex raised his sword again.

"Flame Sword Wave"

The crocodile was startled by Alex's sudden move. It suddenly ducked and walked with its fou- I mean, Three feet to dodge the Flame Sword Wave and got closer to Alex.
