Chapter 287 - The Devil's Massacre

Seeing this, the girl began to panic. She had just found him, her one and only hope. Losing him now would be unthinkable. 

As she quickly began to chant again with the lack of her staff, for the first time since they had met, she had noticed a change in his expression. 

The cold and empty expression and still mouth seemed sadder or angrier, as if he had been reminded of something he didn't want to remember. 

And as they were all only a meter away from him and leapt at him simultaneously, he opened his mouth only to let out a deep breath 

In that instant, the first Gobriga to reach him, swung both of it's arms vertically down straight at the young man. 

However, right before there was contact. The Gobriga's force and arm was suddenly redirected backup with twice the force and speed causing it to quickly lift off the ground and do a back spin in the air as It was thrown off balance. 

But before it could land, The young man suddenly appeared above it with a dark spear formed in his hand. 

With a mixture of wind, he propelled the spear straight down at the Gobriga's wide open c.h.e.s.t. Piercing it straight in it's heart finishing it off with a single blow. 

But before the young man could even land, another two Gobriga's lept at him as he slowly descended. 

They stretched out their hands in an attempt to grab him, but with a single swing of it's dagger. He cut through it's solid hard fur and skin, in a single slice. 

Blood spurted out of the monsters hand, and before they could even react to what had happened to them. Holes were formed on their heads as Dark spears extended from the young man's hands. 

As the young man landed on the floor. The headless corpse of the Gobrigas dropped to the ground beside him as he stood on top of the dead corpse of the first Gobriga he had killed. 

He swung his blade, throwing the purple blood which had gotten on it, towards the eyes of the Gobriga behind him, before quickly leaping at it and piercing it's neck 

However that wasn't enough to finish it. It quickly swung both of it's arms down to take the young man out along with it. But once again, before they hit even made contact the arms were suddenly pushed back in the opposite direction with a greater force than originally. 

Leaving it's c.h.e.s.t wide open once again. Before it could even struggle. From within, dark flames erupted out of it's body as it fell over to the ground. 

The young man slowly turned his head back and stared straight at the remaining Gobriga's releasing an immense amount of pressure and bloodl.u.s.t as he did so. 

They felt intimidated, more afraid of the young man than they were of their leader. The A-Rank monsters, known for their ruthlessness, strength and fearlessness were now slowly backing away from the enemy. 

The girl who watched this couldn't believe her eyes. From the moment the fight had begun to what happened and the current situation. 

"W..Wha… How���?" 

'Is this the true strength of the wandering devil?' She asked herself as she stared at him 

But despite asking, deep down, she already knew the answer. This was only a fraction of what he was capable of. From her years of experience as an adventurer even she could tell, that he, was barely putting in any effort. 

The Great Gobriga continued to roar and beat his c.h.e.s.t at his group as if threatening them if they ran-away, they wouldn't be forgiven. But even still, their actions showed no change. 

They quickly turned their backs and began to run, using their long arms to push them forward with haste and fear, as if trying to make up for the lack of speed which was given due to their unfairly short legs. 

Their leader who saw this let out loud roar as It repeatedly beat its c.h.e.s.t as if warning them that if they ran, they would regret it. 

However, they didn't stop. They were definitely afraid of their leader, but once they took notice of the sheer terror being emitted from the young man. They ran, an A-Rank monster, was afraid. 

Full of rage and hatred, the leader was about the rush straight at the young man, to show who his group should truly be afraid of, when suddenly, it noticed something. It couldn't move. 

Confused, the monster began to use more and more power than before, quickly feeling more infuriated by the passing second, yet it could only move a few fingers. 

In that state, it was forced to witness the dreadful sight which revolved right in front of it's eyes. 

The young man slowly raised his left hand as his right held on tightly to his staff before opening his mouth once more. No words were spoken, but in that instant, bones travelled down the girls spine as the area around them was suddenly coated in a dark shadow. 

Following that, Dark walls rose from within the direction where the gobriga's were heading. This caused them to stop dead in their track. 

Some had already reached the trees but the wall had risen in between the trees too, making sure not to leave out a single one. 

They quickly changed their directions in a panic, some went left while others went right. But as if they were trapped mice, walls rose both beside them and behind them, completely trapping them in between. 

Some tried breaking the walls while others tried climbing over, but the walls were too hard and slippery. Then to cut off any ounce of light they might have had, the walls closed off on the top, forming a dark cube in the process. 

The young man clenched his fist and, in that instant, spikes extended out of the cube leaving only silence behind. Blood dripped down the edges of the spikes which had extended, and would have been able to tell, even without seeing, that inside, occurred a massacre.
