Chapter 174: Sixth Wave end

Successfully blocking their attacks, Vincent counterattacked, swinging his swords and landing a strike on the bodies of two ghouls in the blink of an eye, ripping them into two halves. Then, he pounced on the others, killing them one by one, making them feel helpless and scared even though they were monsters!

<Highly Chaotic Life Force has been detected. The Life Matrix can not purify it. I recommend that you don't keep it>

Life energy is not pure and unique to oneself, and a person who directly absorbs the life force of another living being can face extreme pain or might even explode.

The life spell matrix absorbs and purifies the life force of the beings that Vincent kills, converting it into a purified version called experience points.

It's safe for Vincent to use experience points to strengthen himself.

One can not say the same for unpurified and chaotic life force.

"Can the Life Matrix keep it as a separate entity?" Vincent said, not wanting to give up on it. He believes that there might be a way to put Chaotic Life Force into use.

<Yes. Do you want to store it?>

"Yes."

Vincent gave his approval as he stomped one of his feet on the ground, pushing himself into the group of solidified variant ghouls, engaging them in close combat.

<Killed two Variant Ghouls>

<Killed three Variant Ghouls>

<Killed Five Variant Ghouls>

Each time Vincent slashed his crimson swords outwards, two to five Variant Ghouls would meet their demise, leaving this world for good. His sword moved so fast that the monsters near him couldn't even see them coming, and they died without knowing what hit them.

While the ones who attacked him felt disappointed in the very fiber of their beings as he managed to evade all of their attacks. No matter how many times they attacked him, they weren't able to land a single clean hit on his body.

Vincent's legs were moving too fast, fast enough to leave behind blurry afterimages as he evades their attacks before launching an attack of his own, killing a few to several monsters at a time.

The battle against the ghouls continued as Varth and Leilani froze them to ice status, letting John do the rest of the work and shatter them into pieces, while Iris used her fire magic scrolls to set many variant ghouls ablaze, causing their bodies to solidify because of the heat.

Once their bodies solidified, Vincent would pounce on them like the king of the jungle hunting down its prey.

Just like that, they defeated the sixth wave.

"Now, only four waves are left," Nevis said, feeling smug to win against the variant ghouls.

"Don't feel smug." Vincent called out to him, chiding him to stay on guard, "The next one is going to be harder than this one."

"Here they come," John said when he saw Grey Orcs, two times the size of human coming out of the portals. One look at them, and the ladies felt disgusted as they were not only ugly and filthy but also chewing on the flesh of an orc. These weren't merely orcs but zombified versions of one. It was normal for them to cannibalize. And, it seems like they were having a feast before the portals summoned them here.

Vincent determined their weaknesses and strength with a single glance, and he told the others about his finding.

The Zombified Orcs' strength lies in their fangs, their ability to feel no pain, their nails that are sharper than knives, and their long, muscular arms, and lastly, their poison. They didn't have any poison nullifying pills, so they needed to make sure to evade their attacks. Or else, it won't end well for them.

These monsters also have a lot of weaknesses, not only were they slow but also easy to kill. As long as one destroys their heads, they will die. It's because the parasite controlling them was nesting in their brains.

First of all, they decreased their numbers by attacking them from afar, using crimson spears, black bullets, and white as snow weapons, sun-like fireballs to blast open their ugly mug. Then, Vincent and Varth took the lead, one of them chopped their legs to decrease their mobility, while the other pulled the demon trigger and blasted their legs apart from their bodies, and both let them go past them before chopping the heads of the more powerful ones, killing them. The ones who they allowed to walk past them were taken down by Nevis and John, dying with their heads destroyed. And those they failed to kill were taken down by Leilani. And whenever they were in danger of receiving a clear hit on their bodies, Leilani and Iris would act, killing the Zombified Orcs before they could harm them.

A while later, they took all of them down, causing the wight wave to start. The same thing happened this time, with Vincent explaining the weaknesses of the monsters to his teammates, they were able to get an easy but tiresome win by abusing their weaknesses.

Purple Fairy Melody watched it all from her seat, feeling awed by Vincent's wisdom. She looked at him with an expression of bewilderment and disbelief on her face. How can he determine the weaknesses and the strength of the monsters with a single look? He's only a teenager, so why is he so knowledgeable about monsters? The monsters of this trial didn't even exist in the ancient records of the federation or the Empire, so how does he know about them?

"This youth is very mysterious, able to know so much about monsters as well as some kind of weird magic to disappear from the world. Whatever! At least I know he is not a bad person, and is far stronger than those in the same realm as him! That's more than enough for him to earn my respect!" Fairy Melody said, looking at Vincent with gentleness in her eyes.
