Chapter 76 Stoneback Fox Family

Using the blood bat's vision, Raydon searched the area for a while before spotting several fox-like mobs that appeared to be sleeping in a rock's shadow.

''I suppose all I'll find in F-Rank matches are animal-like mobs. Or the god who created this world has very limited imagination. '' He felt dissatisfied and went after his first prey of the match.

These monsters were sleeping in groups of six beneath the cover of shadow. They had fur that was dark red, and their heads and backs appeared to be covered in stone armor.

'They look cute. ' Raydon thought before launching his first attack.

''Hook. ''

The hook that flew out of his hand quickly wrapped around the head of the mob closest to him and drew it towards himself.

''Fire Kick. ''

Raydon used his second skill at that moment, kicking the monster that was being drawn towards him with his heel to the ground with a powerful blow.

*BANG*

The black flames Raydon released with his kick shattered and scattered the stone armor on the beast's back.

*Ding*

''These black flames have to be caused by body enchantment. But it doesn't appear to have gotten any stronger. '' Raydon performed an analysis once more after seeing these black flames for the second time. Other than the color, the flames didn't appear to have changed at all.

The five monsters who were left behind had awakened as well while Raydon was thinking, and they were shocked to see what had happened to their friends.

The fact that they were just standing there without attacking suggests that they were either frightened by the black flames shooting from Raydon's leg or by their friend's sudden demise.

''If you're not coming, I'm coming. '' With a twisted smile enhanced by the dark flames raging on his leg, Raydon said as he turned to face the monsters.

The moment the Stoneback Foxes noticed Raydon running toward them, their furs began to stand up and they hissed at him. Nevertheless, one of them was killed instantly by a hard kick to the head, proving that their threat wasn't enough to stop him.

When the monsters became fully aware of the situation with the death of another family member, they attacked Raydon in rage, as if to avenge their sisters.

While Raydon kicked the third fox in the stomach, another fox took advantage of the situation and moved in from behind Raydon to bite his arm. The fox was certain that this move would be successful, but Raydon sensed it coming and avoided it as if he had an extra pair of eyes on the back of his head.

When the fox's attack missed its target, it quickly tried to regain its composure and assume a defensive stance, but it failed and was struck in the neck by the sword Raydon pulled from his dimensional storage during the fight, falling to the ground covered in blood.

The other fox cried out in rage and sorrow as it watched its friend's lifeless body fall to the ground with blood gushing from its neck. It then attacked Raydon without thinking twice. However, the only thing that welcomed the enraged fox was a ring of pitch-black flames that appeared to be shooting out of the depths of hell. A kick to the chin instantly scorched the fox's brain, and the poor beast immediately departed for the afterlife while carrying all the resentment with it.

The last remaining fox instinctively tucked its tail between its legs and started to back away as soon as it realized all of its friends had been brutally killed.

The fox saw the devil coming toward itself, his sword dripping blood, his feet burning with black flames.

The fox's entire family, whom it had hunted and spent time with for years, had been murdered by this heartless monster, and all the fox could do was close its eyes and prepare to die.

Closing its eyes, the fox left this world to join its family, with a sharp but fleeting pain in its neck.

*Ding*

Raydon grinned as he studied the system message left by the last fox he had killed.

''I wish I could always find mobs in large groups like this. It saves me the trouble of searching everywhere. ''

Swinging his short sword, he swept away the blood and returned it to his dimensional storage while looking around.

''The cooldown for blood bat will end in a few minutes.  I wonder in which direction is the enemy team. ''

In the previous match, the match ended before Raydon could locate the enemy team, and he didn't want to go through that again. But the region was too large, and the blood bat wasn't enough to cover it all, so he had to think more strategically.

He took a few moments to scan the area before focusing on one of the closest, tallest hills.

After some time, Raydon approached this hill's summit and looked at it. This hill resembled a large rock. It seemed to be a little challenging to climb because it was so steep. For Raydon, however, it wasn't all that difficult. He pointed his hand at a ledge that was visible to him but quite high off the ground and said.

''Hook.''

After leaving Raydon's hand and flying a few meters, the hook got tangled in the rock ledge that Raydon targeted. Then, with the hook-pulling feature engaged, Raydon started to be drawn in the direction of the rock.

''This is probably the most useful skill I possess. I feel like Spiderdude. ''

Raydon climbed to the top of the hill in record time, thanks to the hook and his own climbing abilities.

From the top of the hill, he had a similar view to the blood bat, so there wasn't much difference in what he saw. But his intention was not to use the viewpoint of this location in the first place.

''Blood Bat.''
