Chapter 271: The Death Element

Five Fingers Claw Death! Miles muttered almost inaudibly, as five beaming lights from top to ground made fissures in the air. When it clashed with a cockatrice looking like a monster, it made five bloody scars on its ugly avian head. The scars started to bleed immediately, as Miles jumped back.

CAKOOO!

Move! Alex shouted and Miles jumped back as the monster cried in pain. Its skin was too hard for it to be hurt by that single attack, but luckily Alexs lightning was still effective and mixed with injuries on its head, it was enough to kill the monster.

Alex sent a lightning ball to the monster's head, and it fell to the ground with a great thump.

Third monster, killed. Lets see if there is another orb. Alex said excitedly and walked to the monster and cut its brain. But the orb wasnt there. Then they cut its limbs and right side of its chest and only found it on its leg.

Another core. Lets keep hunting. Alex said. They were hunting for a while now and killed three monsters. The second one dropped an orb, and it was more suitable to Alex, so Miles let Alex have it. The second one would be Miless.

Oooooooooooooooowhoo!

After breaking the Veil, it was as if the sun was appearing high in the sky after a foggy day. The contrast was so bright, it drew the wolf's attention right away.

Miles was already holding his ten claw-like fingers in front of him and charged the second step technique he had just mastered, Ten Fingers Claw Lock. It was a two-hand attack of Seven Finger Punch Death Art. Normally it had to be executed with 14 fingers, but Miles, who had adapted the art for humans, was able to use it too.

Ten fingers, from two sides of the shocked wolfs head, approached and locked on its head. Miless protruded claws stabbed into the dead soft flesh of the monster, as Miles locked his legs into the monsters neck. He was locked under the monsters neck.

Because of the position he got himself into, the wolf couldnt attack, and could only try to shake Miles off. Alex was waiting for this to happen, so with a dash, he appeared on top of the wolf. Wolf felt the approaching danger, and howled in pain and tried to bite Miles, but its head couldnt reach Miles.

Divine Sword! Alex shouted and grabbed the sword formed from lightning. It was two meters long and there were white runes on the sword's body. According to legend, this sword was Norsen God Ukkos Sword of Punishment. He would punish mortals doing bad deeds with this very weapon.

The sword penetrated the creature's head from the top of its head and came out from its muzzle. Luckily Miles was on its neck and wasnt hurt by the sword, although lightning still transmitted to his body through the wolf, it was manageable. Miles had worse experiences with the lightning, so he was still fine.

YOOOOWL!

The wolf cried in pain, as it fell onto the ground, Miles still clutched to his neck. Miles was under its neck, but his tough body was still fine despite the weight of its massive body. He kicked the body as he moved, and got free from the dead weight, literally. Miles looked at Alex excitedly as they cut open the monsters head. There Miles found a pitch-black orb. Excitedly held it in his hands and looked at the gray item swimming inside of it.
