On the other side, Sherry who was inside of Alex was using her own mana to use Alex's fire arrows and give Alex time to fight with the injured one. Sherry skillfully controls the fire arrows. Her control in the Fire Arrows was like a barrage of a machine gun. It continued making another one after it exploded. It continued raining down to the crocodile. The crocodile was also skillfully dodged the Fire Arrows. unlike the one that Alex fought, this crocodile was uninjured. It still has a full fighting capacity. Even though Sherry can't win like this, it was fine. After all, her job was to buy time for Alex to finish the other off.
The crocodile dodging the Fire Arrows continuously. It seems scared of Fire Arrows, or not… it seems the one he scared at wasn't the Fire Arrows, instead it scared from the Fire itself. Alex's fire was on a different level than the previous one. Its ferocity was very strong. The crocodile might be roasted if it continued taking this fire. That's why the crocodile dodge the Fire Arrows. but because of that, the crocodile can't help the other one because Sherry's skillfully controlled the Fire Arrows to not let it happen.
…
Back to Alex side,
The crocodile reached him, he got Alex startled when he suddenly moved with its three feet. It suddenly jumped again with its mouth open. He seems wanted to swallow the whole of him
"Flame Armor"
The flame started to cover him, especially on his chest. The flame concentrated on his chest plate. The crocodile didn't manage to penetrate the concentrated flame armor. But from the momentum alone, Alex was blown away.
"Fire Claw"
Alex didn't forget to use his Fire Claw. A big claw made of fire formed from his right hand, It suddenly grabbed the crocodile and threw it to the direction where Alex got blown away. This way, the crocodile can become his cushion.
The crocodile who was in the air can't dodge this 'Fire Claw'. It grabbed him and threw him just like that.
Alex and the crocodile were flying together. But Alex got the upper position. The crocodile crashed with a big tree first. Alex tried to thrust his spear again. He planned to use the momentum he got to pierce the crocodile.
"Stab"
Alex managed to pierce the crocodile, it now nailed him to the trees. But suddenly,
"Wuu"
Sherry said 'Left'. Alex turned his head to the left instinctively, The other crocodile charging toward him. It took Sherry's numerous Fire Arrows head-on and charged at Alex. He seems wanted to help the crocodile Alex currently facing. Because the crocodile got hit by Sherry's Fire Arrows. Its body was charred, but without thinking about the consequences, it charged to Alex. Alex was startled since Sherry suddenly warned him.
"Flame Armor"
Alex used half of his power in the Flame Armor to cover his body once again and concentrated the rest to make a shield. He can't make it in time to intercept the charge so he can only make an emergency Flame Shield to guard this attack.
"Boom!"
Alex was blown away because of that. The spear still piercing the other crocodile so there is nothing in Alex's left hand. Only a sword in his right. Alex made a counter-attack to the crocodile. Since the crocodile still nailed to the trees. He still has the chance.
"Flame Sword Wave"
The Flame Sword Wave flew toward the two crocodiles. The crocodile immediately pulled out the spear from its friend and free him. They immediately ducked in to dodge this Flame Sword Wave. Even though they managed to barely dodge it in time. Alex and Sherry didn't stop there. Alex and Sherry made numerous Fire Arrows. Before, only Sherry made the Fire Arrows. but this time, both of them made the Fire Arrows together. The number was doubled. The Fire Arrows immediately flew toward the crocodiles. The crocodiles also retreated backward and dodge this Fire Arrows. But as the plan goes, Alex's Fire Arrows targeted to his main focus while Sherry also the same. Those numerous Fire Arrows charged toward each respective target.
Alex grabbed his spear again which dropped after the crocodile pulled it out. Now the situation was looking good for Alex and Sherry. They both weren't injured or something, only depleted some mana and energy. Instead, the two crocodiles have it worse. One of them heavily injured, while the other was charred. If they continued fighting like this, defeating those two crocodiles was a matter in time.
Alex moved closer again to the injured one. While Sherry pinned the other one with her Fire Arrows again.
"Fleeting Step"
With its condition, the crocodile won't be the match with Alex's Fleeting Step. Alex arrived in front of it with his unpredictable footwork and Stab the crocodile.
Clash after clash in a few minutes, they exchanged more than two hundreds blow, the crocodile can only dodging Alex's attack, it didn't have any energy left to counter-attack. Alex's also managed to stab the crocodile a few times. If Alex can wear the crocodile out like this. The crocodile will die because of excessive blood loss. On the other hand, Alex still had so many energies to spare. But the situation changed when he heard… Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.
"ROAR!"
There is a roared in front. It was not from the crocodiles. It was from something else. But 'that' something was close enough to this place. If that something was also a rank 8 monster. The situation would be changed greatly. He won't know what kind of development would it be, but it must be troublesome. He needs to finish this fight faster.
Alex started to desperate. He attacked the crocodile faster. The crocodiles heard that roar. They thought, since there are other monsters nearby, they can get help. But Sherry and Alex keep pinned them down here.
"Roar!" The other crocodiles in front of Sherry also roared.
Alex knew when the crocodile roared. Their situation would change drastically. In this desperate moment, Alex thought for something absurd.
"Can I combine my Sword Skill like Sanguin Sword Art with my element? Our situation would only get worse from now on. It's now or never"
Alex concentrated his Fire Element in his right hand. The Fire Element moved to his sword from his right hand. The sword started covered with Fire. After the sword covered with Fire, it started glowing a bluish light. Alex raised his sword. The crocodile who saw this felt dread in front of Alex's sword. It immediately wanted to run away. But sadly.
"Boom Boom"
Sherry spare her two Fire Arrows. those two Fire Arrows exploded and sealed the crocodile fate. Not only Alex who can understand Sherry better. The otherwise was also true, Sherry can understand Alex. Not only she can understand him, though it wasn't at the level shared or linked thought or something, she at least knew what his intentions are. This led her to summon back two Fire Arrows and assisted him.
"Great Sherry" Alex was thankful with Sherry cover. With this, the crocodile can't dodge the technique he would use now.
"Sanguin Sword Art. Elemental Seventh Slash"
This was the combination of Alex's fire and his Sanguin Sword Art. Or you can also say his 'Flame Sword Wave' but with more profound sword skill. With that, the power was multiplied a few times higher.
"Slash!"
With that sword wave, Alex cut the crocodile's upper body. He got the crocodile remaining hand and half of its chest and a bit of stomach. But Alex still see live on its eyes. He knew after he saw that, the crocodile still somehow alive.
"Not Yet"
Alex did a round spin and tried to cut the crocodile once again.
"Sword Intent"
This is one of his melee range technique. It can't fly like his sword wave, and he can only cover his sword with this sword intent to sharpen it. But it was enough to kill the half-dead crocodile. Alex cut the crocodile head and thus killing it.
"Hah..." Alex brought to his knees after killing the crocodile. "Using that technique was taking too much toll for my body. I can't use that move easily"
"Roar!"
Suddenly a roar came from his right. Alex immediately turned his head. The other crocodile was frenzied and charged at him after he killed his friend. It also took Sherry's Fire Arrows once again. Alex put another Flame Shield on his hand. But this time, his back suddenly glowing.
"Wuu"
Sherry came out from inside of him. Sherry intercepted the crocodile, the previous time, She didn't do this because she was startled that the crocodile suddenly charged at Alex, but this time, She already prepared for all kind of things to happen, so when the crocodile charged at Alex again, she went out from Alex's body and stopped him. Alex was surprised by the sudden appearance from Sherry but, that thought immediately changed.
"That's right. It's not over yet" Alex immediately stood up and raised his sword again. He disappeared
"Flash Step"
The moment he appeared, he was beside the crocodile. He swung his sword,
"Sword Intent"
The crocodile was startled, after Sherry pinned him down, and combined with Alex's sudden attack. It moved its body recklessly to dodge this attack. It also didn't forget to put out his hand, the crocodile tried to block Alex's attack but sadly, Alex sword covered with his Sword Intent. It wasn't a simple swing.
The crocodile lost its hand with that swing. It rolled on the ground to distance himself from Alex and Sherry. Of course, Both Alex and Sherry can't let that happen. Sherry used the Fire Arrows to block its path of retreat. Alex jumped off to the air and thrust his spear at the crocodile.
"Roar!" The crocodile roared in pain.
"Flame Sword Wave"
Alex didn't use his newfound Elemental Sanguin Sword Art. This time he only use his Flame Sword Wave to finish the crocodile off. Since it was enough and he needed to think about the new 'threat' from the forest. So using only Flame Sword Wave saved much of his energy.
"Sigh… Finally, we beat two rank 8 monsters, though we succeed after we had surprise attacks on them. Good Job Sherry"
"Wuu"
"Roar"
The sound finally arrived in this area. The roar was from a rank 8 eleph- no, it was a rank 8 mammoth.
"Another Rank 8? Sherry, it seems that we need to fight once again"
"Wuu Wuu (I will accompany you, Master)"
But before they fought again, a magic circle but not a magic circle suddenly appeared at their position. The circle shining brightly, Alex and Sherry closed their eyes because of the light. When the light was gone, Alex and Sherry disappeared.
