Axel's PoV:
I fend off the attacks of multiple high-level monsters by just using my mana barrier.
The most annoying high-level monster among the high-level monster group was the forest spirit.
I was hoping for the forest spirit to fall off from the pit and die but since they were just humanoids made out of mana, they wouldn't die unless I used mana-based attacks.
I had to manually eliminate all forest spirits and I had also needed to personally destroy the golems since even if the golems fell on the trap, they wouldn't die since they were made out of rocks and some were made out of wood.
The only trap that worked against the golems was the piranha-filled moat.
Even though the piranhas were able to destroy the golems, I often heard the piranhas whining to me via telepathy about how painful their teeth were due to biting through rocks.
Some of the piranhas were whining not because of the hardness of the rocks but because of how tasteless the rocks were.
The high-level piranhas loved to bite living creatures since they could taste the flesh of the living creature but it was entirely different when it comes to a golem.
I guessed that the only piranhas that were fortunate were the piranhas who were fighting against wooden golems since wood wasn't that durable even with mana compared to rock.
I didn't mind the whining of the high-level piranhas that much since they were just my mere trap slaves.
Also, I didn't have the time to care about the high-level piranhas because I was focused on blocking the attacks of the other high-level monsters and eliminating the forest spirits.
It was easy for me to eliminate the forest spirits since space magic was one of my main magic including fire magic.
I could also defeat the forest spirit by using its time magic skills by cutting through the fabrics of time but it cost much more mana than space magic.
It wasn't worth the cost for just fighting against mere forest spirits so I didn't bother in using it.
The protective array was yet to be damaged but even if it was damaged, my teammates would be able to mend the protective array since they supplied the protective array with their mana while Axel 2 would be the one to use the supplied mana to mend the protective array.
I cast my [Flight] skill and went near the high-level monsters.
I took out the dragon sword that I got from the dragon king's cave and imbued my mana into it which triggered the dragon sword's special effects.
A golden dragon made out of mana materialized from the dragon sword after I imbued my mana into it.
The golden dragon flew towards the high-level monsters and descended near the ground.
The golden dragon that was made out of mana opened its mouth and attacked the high-level monsters.
There were some times that the golden dragon swallowed some of the high-level monsters such as the fire lion kings and digested it inside its stomach.
After a monster was inside the golden dragon's stomach, the golden dragon would absorb the mana of the swallowed monster and used the absorbed mana to maintain its materialized form.
Thanks to that skill of the golden dragon, I didn't need to supply mana into the dragon sword since the golden dragon was the one who provided its mana supplement.
I wielded the dragon sword and executed my sword skill towards the high-level monsters.
I decapitated some of the high-level monsters which killed them in the process.
Blood spurted out from the neck of the headless high-level monsters which flowed out like a fountain of blood.
It was a glorious spectacle to behold so I decapitated more high-level monsters to create such a scene.
After I decapitated at least a hundred high-level monsters, some of the high-level monsters decided to avoid me since they were afraid of being decapitated next.
Of course, I didn't let the high-level monsters go so I used my mana to boost my speed.
I appeared in front of a forest slime king and thrust the dragon sword into the body of the forest slime king.
I had aimed at the core of the forest slime king and luckily, I hit the core of the forest slime king which cause the forest slime king to perish.
I then went to another high-level monster that was near me which was a bullet ant.
The bullet ant came in groups so it was a bit troublesome to deal with and not to mention that its pincers could penetrate an average human's skin as if it was a knife cutting through butter.
Another annoying and troublesome thing about the bullet ant was that it could launch itself towards its prey like a bullet.
The bullet ant launched itself towards me and even though it was fast as a bullet, it wasn't able to compare against my speed of sound speed.
I easily and effortlessly dodged the bullet ant but some of the other bullet ants launched themselves towards me just after I dodged the previous bullet ant.
I kept on evading the bullet ants and my situation was similar to a veteran dodging bullets from a machine gun.
The speed of the bullet ant's launch was similar to a machine gun so I decided that it was a great experience if I used the bullet ants' attack as my training regime.
One of the bullet ants launched itself towards me and was only a few centimeters away from but I decided not to dodge the attack but instead, tank the attack of the bullet ant.
As the pincer of the bullet ant came in contact with my skin, the pincer of the bullet bent and broke and it wasn't able to penetrate my skin due to my tremendous amount of defense stats.
My skin withstood the attack of the bullet ant and was even able to counter its attack.
I quickly squashed the bullet ant by slapping my hand towards the bullet ant.
The bullet ant was high in defense due to its tough to shell but it was child's play against my astronomical amount of attack stat.
"Ah, she! I forgot that the shell of a bullet ant was worth one small gold coin per 50 centimeters long in a shape of a square."
I didn't lack any money but it was better to collect more money when the opportunity was knocking at the door.
I appeared in front of one of the bullet ants and dug my hands into its shell.
I quickly and surely peeled off the shell of the bullet ant and also collected its pincers since it would be used in some spear or thorn armors.
Most of the bullet ants were enraged in witnessing me humiliating their kin for scavenging its remains while it was still alive.
I didn't bother the other bullet ants despite their pitiful and meaningless attempt at attacking me.
After I collected all of the shells of the bullet ant that I was holding, I killed it easily due to it being defenseless.
I picked up another bullet ant and repeated the dismantling process that I executed towards the previous bullet ant.
A few minutes had passed by and all of the bullet ants were now dead while their valuable remains were stored in the system inventory.
The golden dragon was keeping the other high-level monsters at bay except for the forest spirits since it wasn't able to do at least a huge amount of damage against the forest spirit.
The golden dragon was only able to deal an insignificant amount of damage towards the forest spirit by absorbing its mana.
The forest spirit was able to escape from the stomach of the golden dragon so its mana wasn't fully absorbed. Hence, leaving only a small amount of damage against the forest spirit.
I went towards the other high-level monsters and this time, I was facing against the golem.
The reason why I focused on eliminating the golems this time was because the piranhas were whining via telepathy about the golem and it was getting on my nerves so I decided to deal with the root of the problem.
I wouldn't be a great master if I couldn't even fulfill a simple request of one of my slaves.
I let out a burst of speed which caused me to appear in front of a golem.
I channeled my mana into my palm and slammed it towards the golem which disintegrated the golem and pulverized the body of the golem.
I kept on busting the other golems into bits of rock and chunks of wood until there was no golem left.
The high-level piranhas were overjoyed after I told them via telepathy that I had eliminated all of the golems in the stampede.
After that was finished, I went to confront the forest spirits since they were one of the most annoying opponents that could negate the effects of both of my traps.
I cast [Black Hole] and controlled it with precision so that it would only suck all of the forest spirits in the forest.
All of the forest spirits were sucked into the black hole, rendering them dead.
"What opponent should I defeat next?"
