Chapter 78 - S-Class Monster

It has been five days since the day the sign of the S-rank monster was born. The hardest part of the monster wave has passed. Now the only thing we need to do is to fight the monster at a specific time. The first wave will appear around 9 am, the second wave will appear around 1 pm, and the last wave will appear around 6 pm.

With the information about the monster spawn cycle in our possession, we can now split which group should fight and which group should take a break.

With fifty thousand men gathered in one place, we decided to split our force into three parts. Ten thousand men defend the west wing from the monster that is coming from the sea. Ten thousand men defend the northern side against the monster that is coming from the mountain. Lastly, the main force, the one that stays here and defends against the monster that keeps spawning because of Chaos Energy's spike.

However, even with the decreasing number of monsters, we still have a hard time facing them if not for Lucina and my rune. In this fight alone, I use my flowing and star rune to the limit. I usually use my healing spell, but sometimes I use a more destructive spell to deal with the more powerful monster.

While there are still soldiers who died from fighting the monster, the casualties are not as many as I predict. After each fight, we bury the fallen soldier in the graveyard I make using my magic. I try to write all their names on the stone by asking if the others know the fallen ones' identity.

I also make a batch of runestone and let the soldier plant it around the area where the monster spawn. My grandfather also explained to me the reason why I must carve the rune inside the tent. It Looks like the magician from the Tower of Magic uses a spell to monitor the monster's situation.

While their intention is good, I feel this spell will be a massive privacy breach for us. When I say this to the other northern noble in a closed meeting, they also feel the same. They heard that it needs at least five high-class magicians, so they are not too concerned about this.

However, I know better. Even when they needed five high-class magicians to activate this spell, it did not need them to maintain the spell as the mana in the air is the one doing that, which means that they can keep spying on their target as long as they want.

I can make the barrier to prevent that privacy breach, but it sometimes needs to prepare. I don't have enough time to do it now, but I will definitely do it after this.

"My lord!"

I snap from my thoughts when I see someone run toward me.

"What is it?"

"There is an A-class monster! They are the newly-born monster!"

"Dammit! Where? And how many monsters are born alongside the A-class?"

"There are only five, but all of them are A-class monsters."

Dammit, it looks like the S-class will be born soon. I look at my fellow lord and see them have a grim expression.

"My lord. I have a proposal. My wife and I can handle two of the A-class monsters. We will handle the two of them while I leave the rest of them to you."

The other lord has hesitated with my proposal. A-class monster is not something that someone can beat alone. However, at the same time, they also cannot use all the soldiers to fight against the A-class monster. Especially with the sign of the S-class that will be born not too long from now.

"Are you sure about it, Isaac?"

"Yes, Grandfather. I can handle one of them while Lucina will handle the other one. However, we cannot handle five of them at once, so we need to split our force to defeat the monster."

".... Very well. I will agree to your plan. However, if you cannot handle them, retreat immediately. I don't want to be the one that delivers the bad news to my daughter."

"Yes. Leave this to me."

I look to the side and see Lucina and Uncle Lomun have a private conversation. He did not want Lucina to fight the A-class monster by the look of it, but after seeing her expression, he decided to let her do it.

Lucina looked at me and nodded her head. I then look at the soldier who gave us the news and say.

"Where is their location?"

"Two of them coming from the northwest, one of them on the north and the other in our east."

"I see. Thank you."

"It is my pŀėȧsurė, my lord."

I then look at the other lord once again and say.

"Lucina and I will be the ones to handle the monster coming from the Northwest. I leave the other to you guys. We will go immediately."

After saying that, I take my spear and begin to run toward where the monster is located. Lucina also came with me while flying in the air. I really envy her ability to fly as I can only float in the air using Geppo.

To keep up with Lucina, I enchant my body to its limit and arrive in front of two creatures leading a few hundred monsters. One of the creatures is a humanoid creature with a black wing on its back. It has six pairs of wings behind its back. Not only that, but it also has a halo made of fire above its head. The hood around its head hides the face of the creature.

The creature wears tight clothes with a chain that shackles its entire body. The creature stood on a mobile throne that ten Giants carried. The creature looks like Samael from the bible. The angel that the god punished for being the one that caused humans to do their first sin.

The other creature is a turtle monster. However, unlike your normal turtle, this one has three heads coming from the shell. Each of the heads has two crystals, and each of the crystals has a different color.

The left head has a Green and Red crystal, the middle one has yellow and blue, and the last one has a brown and white crystal on its forehead.

Above the turtle's shell is a pitch-black spike, and I can see the spike have slime-like substances on the tip of the spike.

I look at Lucina and say.

"Do you know that monster? I have never read or seen that monster before."

"No. They are a new monster."

Darn it. So we have a monster with unknown power and don't know about their weaknesses.. I hope the other did not have the same problem as us.
