Chapter 223 - Monchi (4)

Lieutenant Kajo arrived at the scene where the last scream was heard. Finally, he met with Monchi, who was hanging on the tree with its tail. Monchi, who saw Lieutenant Kajo arrived, dropped the corpse on its hands.

The corpse thud on the ground, almost hitting another soldier who was shivering on the ground. The soldier was the last member of his team. And, the corpse was his squad's leader.

Cold sweat running down from the man's face. He opened and closed his mouth, but no sound was coming out of it. The soldier was watching Monchi as it was his worst nightmare.

Monchi swung from the tree, rolling three times in the air before landing with its two feet. As Monchi landed on the ground safely, the shivering soldier shuddered.  He wanted to run, but his feet prevented him from doing it.

Monchi walked towards Lieutenant Kajo. He didn't even look towards the shivering soldier. Lieutenant Kajo readied his ax and also strolled towards Monchi.

Monchi took a step forward slowly and kept his sight on Lieutenant Kajo. One step at a time. When Monchi arrived beside the shivering soldier, he suddenly smiled widely.

Monchi's long tail wrapped the shivering soldier's neck tightly. The soldier could not breathe. He tried to break free using both of his arms, but it was futile. The grip was too tight. Very quickly, the soldier almost ran out of his breath.

However, before the soldier run out of his breath, Monchi swung his tail backward and threw the soldier behind him. The soldier flew high and hit the big tree behind Monchi with its head first. The tree destroys his head, and the soldier died immediately.

This happened so quickly that Lieutenant Kajo didn't have time to react. When he finally responded and tried to help the soldier, Monchi already threw the soldier behind him.

Lieutenant Kajo saw the soldier's death. He was sad, but it was not the time to drifting in sadness. Lieutenant Kajo changed his course of attack and went to Monchi.

Monchi saw the attack coming to him. However, he didn't raise his arm to block it. Instead, Monchi turned back and climbed a tree near him. Then, just like before, he used his long tail and swung from branches to branches and escape.

Lieutenant Kajo was left there alone. He was furious as the demonic monster apparently didn't dare to fight against him. Finally, Lieutenant Kajo left the scene furiously and chased the damn demonic monster.

In a nearby place, Auron was walking with his group and one other group. They maintained their alerts as they didn't want to be kidnapped by the demonic monster.

A sudden, rustling sound was heard behind them. All of them immediately looked behind them and raised all of their weapons. Several mages were already ready to cast their spells, including Auron. 

All of the groups saw behind them, a bush was moving, and a shadow was moving between the trees. The mages and archers immediately launched their attacks. While the swordsman and thieves moved forward to face the shadow.

Boom... Several attacks went to the bush and also the shadow between the trees. The swordsman at the front was also releasing their attack. 

The swordsman hit their target savagely. However, they were surprised when they saw what they hit. It was not the demonic monster; instead, it was just a low-level monster who was roaming around the forest.

Whether it was the bush or the shadow between the tree, both were a zonk. None of the places had the demonic monster. The swordsman at the front immediately went back to the group. They didn't want to be kidnapped by the demonic monster when they were far away from their group.

From far away, the swordsman crossed his arm in the air and shooked his head. They walked back to the group. When they were walking back, one of the swordsman looked at the group and roared, "Be careful! Behind you!"

Auron, who was unleashing his spells with several other mages, sighed when the swordsman crossed his arm in the air. It was the wrong target. Then, he heard the swordsman roared.

When Auron heard the swordsman roared, he wanted to look behind him. However, he didn't get the chance. A long-tail already circled his neck, and in the next second, the tail tightens its grip and choking Auron.

Auron was choked. He was lifted up to the air. His hand, which held his staff loosened. Auron dropped his weapon. The other mages who sighed before also went into action. They released several spells towards Monchi.

Monchi, who was facing the attack, didn't panic. Like before, using his tail, Monchi lifted Auron and threw him behind him. Auron was flown in the air at high speed. His destination was a big tree. If Auron hit the tree, there was no doubt that he would die.

Auron chanted a spell in mid-air. He used [Aqua Barrier]. Auron hit the big tree, but the [Aqua Barrier] managed to save his life. Auron fell down to the ground from a high height. The impact on the tree already destroy his [Aqua Barrier].

So, when he fell down from the high height, Auron took some damage. The damage from falling down was not as severe as when he hit the tree. Moreover, Auron had high health compared to the other at his own level. However, the impact of falling down from such height also didn't small.

Auron's health immediately went down 80%. He nearly died. Fortunately, he reacted quick and chanted [Aqua Barrier], his lifesaving skill. Auron tried to stand up. He drank up his health potion attempted to recover some of his health.

Auron looked at the situation. He saw Monchi was standing on one of the tree branches in front of him with its back facing Auron. 

Auron teammate also didn't stay idle, they went to attack the demonic monster. Some of them saw that Auron was saved, so they split into two groups. One went to attack the demonic monster while the other one tried to go to Auron.
