23 Chapter 23: Level 9 Beasts

His eyes widened and his muscles bulged as he tightened his grip on the magic sword in his hands and swung it horizontally, releasing a huge arc of blue energy. The trolls roared and jumped to evade the blue arc of energy which danced towards them, their bloodshot eyes glowed in the darkness

"Got you!!!" Gin screamed with a mischevious grin of his face. The blue runes on the gauntlets glowed and trembled violently, at this point it felt like Gin was a black hole, sucking in all mana in the surrounding. His blue eyes glowed fiercely and his magic weapon was shrouded in thick blue energy, his eyes were locked on the airborne level 9 trolls and with a sinister smile on his face he spoke

"I will end it with this final attack…"

He thrust the sword upwards at the direction of the airborne trolls and on the tip of the blade, a beam of blue energy poured out. But before it could reach the trolls, the troll at the center pushed the other two by the sides away, its lips curled up and it wore a sinister smile on its face before it was completely consumed by the blue beam of energy.

"What?" Gin muttered while stabbing his sword into the ground to support himself. He initially planned to end the fight with that attack, defeating the blood mage after that won't be much of a problem. He followed the remnants of the trolls body which fell from the sky and with a bitter smile on his face, he gazed at the other trolls which approached dashed towards him.

"Damn" He muttered as he tried to follow the movements of these beasts with his eyes. What made these level nine beasts terrifying was simply because of their physique. The trolls were not as big as the ogres, yet they possess comparable strength and greater agility comparable to that of an omega under the effects of a full moon. Rather than letting these monsters attack him from two sides, Gin dashed towards one of them and brandished his sword at it. The troll roared and attacked as well

"How?" Gin muttered in shock. Even though they have only exchanged a few moves, he could tell that this beast was on a level of its own. Not only did it skillfully parry his attacks with its Bare hands! But it also found space to counter-attack occasionally landing a few hits. Unfortunately for it, its attacks were not capable of shattering the transculent barrier that surrounded Gin's body

"Not yet!!!" Gin growled. He gritted his teeth as he poured his mana into the magic weapon and released a blue arc of energy which instantly forced the troll to retreat by a few steps. Not letting the opportunity to pass him by, he took a step forward raised his sword, the blade trembled and was instantly shrouded in blue energy. He was about to land the finishing blow but then…

Bam!!!

Gin's body was sent crashing into a tree, visible web-like cracks could be spotted on the transculent blue barrier around his body. The second troll never intended to give Gin enough time to recover, appearing in front of the enchanter in mere seconds. The beast roared and punched out repeatedly, widening the cracks on the barrier while it chased after Gin who constantly retreated trying to create some space between himself and the beast. Even if Gin didn't feel the impact of a punch, every punch still possessed enough power to move him and the continuous assault gave him little to no time to stabilize himself.

"Just a few seconds… I need a little time" Gin muttered

Crack!

Crack!

Shatter!

Gin spat out blood as his body was sent flying into the air, his eyelids yanked open and he saw a troll airborne with a clenched fist. He was able to survive the previous attack because the barrier was able to absorb more than fifty percent of the impact. Now his barrier was gone and the beast intended to attack there is no way he could survive this next attack. He closed his eyes and waited for death to reap his soul

Bam!!!

Like a bullet, the body of the troll fell to the ground, creating web-like cracks on the floor, Derik grabbed on to Gin's body as the descended to the ground

Thud!

"I made it," Derik said with a weak smile on his face. He stared at Gin who wore a bitter smile on his face

"You had to wait for the last moment huh?... superhero entrance… nice" Gin laughed. Derik smiled slightly and they returned his cold gaze to the level 9 trolls less than thirty meters away, he tried to move and felt sharp pains at his joints.

"Damn" he muttered. By then a blue transculent barrier appeared around Gin and vanished.

"I need an opening… I intend to pour in everything in my next attack so let's make it count" Gin whispered to Derik who nodded in response.

On the other side of the battlefield was Kira who wore an ugly expression on his face, he failed to understand how someone who was pummeled into the ground multiple times by level 5 ogres could stand and fight suddenly

"Inconceivable!!!" he muttered, even still he was slightly happy. Thanks to Derik's appearance, gin was not killed by the troll. Initially he ordered the trolls to kill him out of anger, but finally, when the troll was about to land the finishing blow his heart skipped a bit due to fear when he remembered the rules of inter-class competition. If he had successfully murdered Gin, the adventurers association would not show mercy even if he was from a noble family. At one moment he silently thanked Derik and the next moment his gaze became could and his murderous intentions could not be hidden.

"Cripple them!!!" he ushered a new order

…

…

…

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Both sides quickly retreated after the third blow as they stared at their shivering hands, Derik quickly turned his attention on the troll in front of him with a shocked expression on his face

"So this is the strength a level 9 beast, comparable to the strength of an omega under the effects of the full moon," he said with a grim expression on his face.Naturally monsters were classified into three categories; Normal Monsters such as ogres, goblins, trolls and so on, these beasts rely purely on overwhelming strength, speed and numbers, these monsters could be seen in forests and caves and are usually levels 1-9, only on very few occasions are do you see normal monsters over level 10. Then there are magical beasts like griffins, dragons, fairies and so on, these beasts possess magic abilities. These monsters are usually found in Dungeons, forbidden lands, ancient lands. And finally there are Supernatural monsters, these beasts leave within societies and kingdoms without people noticing, these supernatural beings rarely pop up, and those who encounter these beasts are termed unlucky and unfortunate. Take the Lockwood family, which lived among the people of Briton for centuries now, yet they are still able to keep their secret hidden.

Derik Immediately ducked evading the trolls punch and he immediately swept the troll of its feet with a slide tackle and climbed atop the troll, placing his knees on its hands preventing it from moving them.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

After delivering the fourth blow, Derik heard sounds coming from the sides and frowned, he immediately jumped off the body of the troll, whose face was covered with its blood. With a vicious expression on his face, he waited for the other troll to arrive

Bam!!

Derik felt a sharp pain in his back staggering forward before he could recover he felt a sharp pain in his gut and he spat out blood as his body retreated backward. Not letting Derik recover the troll whose face was covered in blood attacked once again, the cycle continued over and over again.

"Thank you… Derik!!!" Gin said with a weak smile on his face. His body shuddered involuntarily and his complexion was dangerously pale, on his hand was his magic sword which trembled greatly and was shrouded in sky blue energy, from afar it felt like the blade was crying out.

"I will end it with this attack" he screamed as he swung his blade releasing an enormous arc of energy. This instantly caught the attention of the two trolls, the trolls screamed and traces of fear could be seen in their voices, they tried to escape but was before they could leave the range of the attack the energy wave had caught to them. As for Derik who was expecting this, he took advantage of the time a few seconds in which the trolls were distracted to escape. Gin stared at the trolls who were consumed by the energy wave with a mocking smile on his face

"Derik…" He called out as he searched for Derik in the field only to see Derik lying on the ground with a red spear made of blood dug deep into his chest, he quickly turned his attention to Kira but it was already too late. After using such a large scale attack, he was yet to replenish his mana with his gauntlet. Gin felt a sharp pain in his chest and instantly blacked out
