Step. Step. Step.
Prago ran forward, stepping on the blood-covered salt ground. He was probably the only one here who could walk straight towards the three strongest monsters without fear of being killed instantly.
'What's next? Take on Obsidian Armadillo and Jade Lady? Yeah, in your condition you'll be able to hold them off for a while, but no more than that. You can't stand up to two of them at once.' Adelia said with a serious voice.
Prago smirked.
"Don't worry about it. Like I said earlier, I'm not going to fight Jade Lady. I have a better candidate for that. However... I need to act quickly." Prago's look became serious as he appeared next to Obsidian Armadillo.
No one had noticed him yet, but thanks to his instincts, Obsidian Armadillo had managed to curl up, taking on a protective form that seemed impossible to penetrate. But, Prago wasn't going to do that, at least not now.
Whooooooooooooosh.
A water disk appeared in front of Prago's palm as he attacked the monster. Sure, such a simple attack that was Prago's First Order couldn't hurt Obsidian Armadillo, his dark crystals just absorbed all the damage, but... the force of inertia from the momentum didn't go anywhere.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
The Obsidian Armadillo shuddered violently as the impact threw the dark disk aside, several meters away.
Thunder Demon tilted his head in confusion.
Just now, one of them had been attacked, but Obsidian Armadillo was not his ally. In this case, it didn't matter whether Phantom or Monster, Thunder Demon just wanted worthy opponents, and Prago could be one.
"Rgha... Rgha... Rgha..." Thunder Demon threateningly wheezed, as he was about to step forward to greet Prago.
However... Prago wasn't going to stay here for too long, after all, he didn't come here to fight.
Prago extended his hand towards Jade Lady, as a water vortex appeared around his wrist.
Jade Lady was wary, she narrowed her eyes at Prago and prepared to deflect the attack.
Prago smirked as several powerful tentacles emerged from the water stream. Before the Jade Lady could realize anything, the tentacles were around her from all sides, preventing her from even opening her wings.
Anyway, Prago was a K2-Phantom, and this was his Second Order. Even the strongest Purple Threat Level monsters couldn't easily resist his attacks.
Whoooooooooooooosh.
Multiple Ladies, simultaneously attacked the tentacles, trying to free their leader from captivity, but... their swords couldn't even leave a scratch on the tentacles.
"Hey, sorry for the intrusion, but I'm going to have to take her away. I think it would make sense to have one lady fighting against another, don't you?" Prago smiled bitterly before drawing his hand to his side.
"Rgha... Rgha... Rghaa..." Thunder Demon growled while staring intently at Fred.
Fred was more than a hundred meters away from him, but his eyes were calm and filled with confidence.
Thunder Demon waved his hand nonchalantly as if to say, 'You may be weak, but I will fight you. It's better than nothing and endless boredom!'
Step. Step. Step.
Thunder Demon took a few steps forward, about to speed up, but something made him stop.
The monster abruptly turned his head to the side, only to see a black silhouette sprinting across the salt hills and rapidly approaching him.
Adam's legs were covered in electric shocks, and in his hand was a snow-white needle. He may not have been at peak strength due to fatigue, but that only limited his abilities. His physical stats and the needle were with him.
In a heartbeat, Thunder Demon realized everything as a wide grin appeared on his face, spreading across his entire face.
"Rgha...?" Thunder Demon got a baffled look when Adam disappeared behind the salt hill. The monster turned around, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out where Adam, who was in his field of vision, was hiding!
Whoooooooosh.
Several salt crystals, quite tiny, flashed before Thunder Demon's eyes. In the last of them, he saw a dark spot that quickly grew larger, for it was Adam's reflection!
"RGHAAA!!!"
Thunder Demon roared, lashing his tail behind him, fully confident that Adam had circled him from behind.
However... The fist coming down on his face was clear proof of how wrong he was.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
All of Adam's muscles tensed to the limit, his punch was executed with perfect speed and trajectory, and his feet held him firmly to the ground, allowing him to unleash the full force of his body into a single point.
A pulse, traveled through Thunder Demon's head, making his skin tingle and spreading in waves across his face.
Whoooooooooooosh.
The massive body of the Thunder Demon flew off to the side, causing the eyes of all the spectators to go wide.
But... not even a second later, the Thunder Demon spun in midair, bringing his powerful legs down to the ground.
Thunder Demon's eyes narrowed as he licked the trickle of blood coming out of the corner of his mouth, while the flames of battle were actively burning in his gaze.
