Chapter 912 The Battle Began



As the five S-rank degu users encircled the monstrous creature, a wave of confidence washed over the onlookers. The people, who had been filled with fear just moments ago, now found relief in the sight of these formidable fighters. Conversations erupted among the crowd, brimming with anticipation and unwavering belief in the prowess of the degu users.

"Man, look at those guys! They're gonna make mincemeat out of that monster," one person exclaimed, a wide grin spreading across their face. The sentiment was contagious, and soon the air was buzzing with a renewed sense of hope.

"Yeah, you said it! Those degu users are the real deal. I've heard stories about their insane powers and how they've taken down some nasty creatures in the past," another person chimed in, their voice brimming with admiration.

The confidence in the degu users' abilities was palpable. The onlookers watched as the five fighters exuded an aura of unwavering determination. Their expressions were focused and resolute, as if they were born for this moment. The crowd could sense their unwavering belief that victory was within their grasp.

"Look at them, they ain't even breaking a sweat. They know what they're doing," a voice exclaimed with a mix of awe and excitement. The degu users seemed to move with calculated precision, each step a testament to their training and experience.

In the midst of the crowd, cheers erupted, growing louder with each passing moment. The people raised their voices, their shouts of encouragement reverberating through the air. They believed in the degu users, their faith unshakeable.

"You got this!" someone shouted, their voice ringing out above the rest. "Take that monster down and show 'em who's boss!"

The degu users, fueled by the cheers of the crowd, felt a surge of confidence. Their expressions transformed, their determination solidifying into a fierce resolve. They exchanged glances, a silent understanding passing between them. They knew they were not alone in this fight.

Meanwhile, the monster stood indifferent, seemingly unfazed by the overwhelming support for their opponents. Its eyes remained fixed on the degu users, an inscrutable expression gracing its grotesque features. It was as if the cheers and belief of the people held no sway over its monstrous heart.

Yet, the people continued to cheer, their voices rising like a tidal wave of hope. In that moment, they became a collective force, united in their faith that the degu users would prevail. Their unwavering support added a new layer of motivation to the five fighters, igniting a fire within them that would burn until the very end.

With the unwavering support of the people, the five S-rank degu users locked eyes, a silent agreement passing between them. Their collective strength surged, and as one of them raised their hand, the ground beneath the monster's feet transformed into chains, imprisoning it in place.

Seizing the opportunity, a woman from the group summoned an electric spear, crackling with raw energy. With a swift motion, she hurled it toward the monster's head, aiming for a decisive blow. The spear streaked through the air, its trajectory true and unwavering.

Simultaneously, a burly man charged forward, his muscles bulging with power. With a thunderous roar, he unleashed a devastating punch, aiming for the monster's vulnerable spot. His fist soared through the air like a freight train, fueled by unwavering determination.

At the same time, another member of the group materialized beside the immobilized monster, brandishing a flaming dagger. With a glint of determination in their eyes, they swiftly aimed for the monster's neck, intending to sever its lifeline. The flames danced along the blade, casting an eerie glow in the dim afternoon light.

And then there was the last member, their role equally crucial. With a whispered incantation, they blessed their comrades with a surge of enhanced speed. Energy crackled around the group, a surge of vitality coursing through their veins. Their movements became a blur as they closed in on the monster with lightning-fast agility.

But the monster was not to be underestimated. As each attack descended upon it, it revealed its true power. In a display of awe-inspiring strength and agility, the monster blocked each assault with calculated precision.

The chains that sought to confine it shattered under the strain, broken links falling to the ground like shattered dreams. The electric spear, once aimed for a critical blow, was deflected by a flicker of the monster's dark red orb pupils, the weapon harmlessly grazing its armored skin.

The burly man's punch, fueled by immense strength, collided with the monster's unyielding hide, creating a shockwave of force. Yet, the monster stood firm, its muscular frame absorbing the impact with little visible effect.

The flaming dagger, poised to sever the monster's neck, met an unexpected resistance. As the blade descended, the monster's extra mouth on its stomach opened, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. In a split second, the mouth clamped down on the dagger, extinguishing the flames and rendering the weapon useless.

As the monster effortlessly deflected the attacks of the five degu users, a chilling silence settled over the battlefield. The burly man, who had delivered a powerful punch moments ago, now stood frozen in shock. His eyes widened in disbelief as he witnessed the monster's hand transform into an ominous shadow.

In a horrifying display of power, the shadowy appendage shot forward with incredible speed, striking the burly man with lethal precision. In an instant, his head was violently ripped from his body, soaring through the sky like a morbid trophy. The lifeless shell of his once formidable frame collapsed to the ground, a grim reminder of the monster's merciless strength.

Realizing the imminent danger, the degu user who had wielded the flaming dagger desperately attempted to escape the clutches of the relentless monster. Panic etched across his face, his eyes wide with terror. But his efforts were in vain, for the monster was faster than he could have ever imagined.

Without hesitation, the monster unleashed a torrent of blue liquid from its maw, propelling it toward the fleeing degu user. The viscous substance trailed through the air, closing the gap between them with alarming speed. In a moment of sheer horror, the liquid struck the degu user, splashing against his face and seeping into his skin.

Agonizing screams erupted from the unfortunate soul as the corrosive liquid worked its malevolent magic. The skin on his face began to bubble and melt away, exposing raw muscle and bone beneath. The degu user's eyes, filled with unspeakable pain, locked with those of his comrades for one final moment before his head dissolved into a gruesome mess.
