Chapter 449 - New Demonic Monster (3)

After gulping the health potion, Alice immediately charged again. The situation had turned around. She would not let this situation turned once more.

Meanwhile, Auron also chanted his spell. [Sloth] was a spell that could not get missed out during a battle like this.

[Sloth] was a water spell, and as a fire mage, Alice didn't have this spell. 

Fortunately, there was Auron who could use this spell even though it was still low level. A faint white mist surrounded the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Alice had already arrived in front of the tallest demonic monster who was trying to protect its teammate.

Alice's dagger was met with the demonic monster's claw. The demonic monster tried to kick Alice. However, Alice had anticipated that. She quickly used [Fire Bolt] and aimed at the demonic monster's head.

The tallest demonic monster raised its long arm and tried to catch the spell. Meanwhile, the kick still continued on—the spell connected with the demonic monster's palm while the kick connected with Alice's right elbow.

On the other hand, Auron was charging towards the shortest demonic monster. He had to kill this monster as soon as possible.

The middle demonic monster, who lost one of its eyes, stood up. He launched an attack to intercept Auron. 

Auron didn't block the attack; instead, he increased his speed using his swordsman skill. Auron dared to use his swordsman skill because Alice was busy fighting against the tallest demonic monster.

Auron's speed boosted, and he could dodge the incoming attack. And, in no time, he arrived in front of the shortest demonic monster.

Of course, the shortest demonic monster didn't stay still. Even though the demonic monster was surprised because of Auron's speed, it still tried to attack Auron.

Auron sidestepped and dodged the attack. Then, he brandished his dagger downward towards the demonic monster's head.

The demonic monster moved his head backward, but it was a step too late. The dagger grazed its face and created a long vertical scar from its forehead to the chin.

Blood spurted from the scar, and the demonic monster howled in pain. That was not all. Auron followed his attack with a [Fire Ball]. 

Due to [Sloth], the movement of the enemies was slowed down. The shortest demonic monster got hit directly on its face and created a huge boom.

Auron changed his dagger to a stab stance and stabbed the demonic monster's face. However, the middle demonic monster had arrived to help the shortest demonic monster. With blood coming out from one of its eyes, the middle demonic monster thrust its long arms to Auron.

Auron didn't want to let this chance go away. The shortest demonic monster almost died. Auron had to sidestep once more to dodge that attack. However, since he didn't want to move too far away, the middle demonic monster's claw grazed Auron's arms.

Auron held the pain and immediately attacked the shortest demonic monster brutally. It was like he took revenge because of the attack on the shortest demonic monster.

The shortest demonic monster was on the brink of his death. With low stamina and low experience in fighting, the monster had already gone panic. Moreover, there were still a few seconds left in [Sloth]'s duration.

Auron used his swordsman skill to increase his attack speed. Then, he stabbed his dagger at the shortest demonic monster. All of the stabs were aimed at the head.

Not only that, but Auron also used [Earth Spike] to stab the demonic monster's body from its back. Finally, the shortest demonic monster screamed its last howl.

However, Auron could not celebrate the death of the demonic monster. He still had to face an incoming attack from the middle demonic monster.

The death of the shortest demonic monster raged the other two demonic monsters. They howled and attacked furiously. 

Fortunately, Alice, with her high leveled and experience, could hold off the continuous attacks. However, it was not like that for Auron.

Although Auron had rich fighting experience, the level differences still took a bigger portion of the battle. Auron could not dodge all attacks, only around 80% of the attacks. The number was relatively high because the demonic monster had one of its eyes wounded. If the demonic monster was not injured, maybe Auron would now be able to perform this great.

Auron felt into the defensive stance. He rarely counterattacked and only focused on defending. He didn't forget to use all the potion he had.

Auron was buying some time for him. He would do this until Alice finished off the tallest demonic monster.

With the situation turned to 2 versus 2, Alice could concentrate entirely on the tallest demonic monster. She still tried to take some attack to launch a sneak attack at Auron's opponent. 

Alice's combat strength increased. Quickly, she overwhelmed the tallest demonic monster. Around 10 minutes after the death of the shortest demonic monster, the tallest one was on the brink of his death.

With one foot on the grave, the tallest demonic monster wanted to run away. However, how could Alice let it did that? She blocked and, in another minute, killed the tallest demonic monster.

Two down, one more to go. The middle demonic monster didn't have any chance to win this battle. With Alice and Auron's combined strength, the middle demonic monster's health quickly depleted.

In just 18 minutes after the shortest demonic monster died, every demonic monster at this place died. 

The battle had ended. Auron gave health potions to Alice to recover. He was happy.

These three demonic monsters gave him a huge chunk of experience. From this battle, Auron had gained 10 levels alone.

This tremendous experience was thanks to the fact that he delivered the killing blow to the shortest demonic monster. Also, the system evaluated him to make a considerable contribution when he blinded one of the middle demonic monster's eyes.

Auron believed that if he could kill the shortest and the middle demonic monster by himself, he could get around 50 levels, even 80 levels at once. Sadly, he couldn't do that.

Suddenly, Alice slapped her forehead, "Ah! I forget to capture one!"
