Chapter 47: Wasn't it a rock?

The over 10 men in green clothes took a while to show their reactions. It was all so very fast that they were only able to see Nero standing in front of a body lying on the floor without its head.

You defeated the Human: [Swordsman] Rank F: Level 5.

The leader who spoke before, saw the head roll towards him with its eyes wide open in total disbelief of his own death.

Before, Nero did not cause confusion and did not kill at the birthday party out of respect for Choko, but since these men had the intention of causing harm to her, Nero was not going to be polite to them either.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

The members of the Qin Clan came to their senses when they heard a miserable cry, and that was when they saw a silver wolf biting one of the men's shoulder and tearing at his flesh with its sharp teeth which looked like razors.

Nero jumped back. Using her speed, she put away her dagger and removed the bow from her inventory.

The moment the Short Bow materialized in her hand, her strength increased by 10 points and 2 agility, Nero pulled the rope decisively and a dark arrow was materialized.

*Whoosh!*

The arrow was launched, whistling through the wind, and hit the head of the man who was being bitten by Luna.

You defeated the Human: [Water Mage] Rank F: Level 4.

Luna was quick to run, returning to Nero's side without being attacked.

Choko, who saw this, took a deep breath and exclaimed in her mind, 'Did she get too strong?!'

At the same time that she was happy with this, Choko was also a little discouraged. This meant that she was getting further and further away from being able to fight alongside Nero... Shaking her head from side to side, she denied all these negative thoughts and decided to act and think afterward.

"Monster?!" The members of the Qin Clan screamed in their lungs. They knew that this young girl was strong, but they didn't expect her to be so abnormal.

"Monster..." Nero muttered, and then did something that shocked everyone. "Not a monster. Maybe an angel?!"

A pair of beautiful wings appeared on Nero's back and she flew. Nero looked like a heavenly being, beautiful and perfect, and her smile was as bright as the sun, but for those men of the Qin Clan, it was more frightening than a demon's smile!

When the hand of the leader of those men reached out to cast a spell, there was a sudden *Whoosh!* sound and a dark arrow deeply etched into his right shoulder. Immediately, his right shoulder started to be corroded. The leader was so shocked that his soul almost left his body. "Dark element". There was no need to guess that this was one of the most dangerous elements, with one of the biggest offensive damages. Fortunately, it wasn't long until the dark arrow disappeared, otherwise he would have turned into a pool of blood.

"Attack together! Don't stand still; she's too strong!" The leader put his hand on his injured shoulder and shouted, terrified.

"Yes!" The members of the Qin Clan did not dare to be slow about this. Nero was a real threat.

"Haa!"

Choko gave a shrill scream and ran towards a man holding a sword.

*Pow!*

Choko's small hand, which had now become huge thanks to her red glove, punched in the direction of the man who used his sword to defend himself.

*Blem!*

The metallic sound echoed, and the man lost strength and was forced to retreat.

Nero, knowing that if she remained in the air would allow Choko to be in danger if she was surrounded, went down and summoned another monster.

_ _

[Demonic Acid Slime] Rank F: Level 4 - Summoned!]

_ _

Now the fight was 4 against 10.

Seeing that Nero had descended from the air, the men were glad in their hearts and rushed at her with attacks. The leader, who was intermediate level 5, went the fastest and cut the figure in two with his sword. He smiled coldly and said, "Idiot."

However, he froze immediately. He froze because Nero's body had magically disappeared.

The thing he cut in two was not really Nero's body: it was a tree trunk that was taken from Nero's inventory and had replaced her. So, where had the real Nero gone?

"You are the idiot~" Nero had crouched down and exchanged the bow for a dagger. She drew the dagger from between the leader's legs up to the man's injured shoulder.

"Damn..." The leader swore and fell backward, spitting blood as his body was split in two as he fell to the floor with a deafening *Thud*.

_ _

You defeated the Human: [Swordsman] Rank F: Level 5.

"Leader!" The members of the Qin Clan seeing this were afraid, and although they were angry and wanted to take revenge, they had already realized that it was impossible. This girl with wings was very abnormally powerful.

*<Spit Acid>!*

The Demonic Acid Slime that was being ignored by the members of the Qin Clan spat acid and caught the face of a fire wizard, disfiguring his face and leaving him blind for a few seconds. Luna acted and she roared, biting the man's stomach, and with a strong tug, she tore half of the man's torso off, causing his guts to come out.

Silver Wolf Mascot has defeated the Human: [Fire Wizard] Rank F: Level 4.

"Run away!" the rest screamed as they turned and started to run. Fear was visible on their faces. For them, there was no hope of victory.

Nero changed the dagger for the Short Bow again and pulled a dark arrow, and fired at one who was fleeing towards the lake.

*Whoosh!*

The arrow whistled and caught right in the middle of the man's back, causing him to fall into the lake, which began to be tinged red with blood.

Choko, on the other hand, had finally managed to kill a man. Although she did not feel comfortable killing someone, these men could not be forgiven for saying that they wanted to harm Nero and hand both of them over to her father.

*ROOOOARRR!*

From inside the lake, the big blue rock came out and... roared?!

Nero looked and saw a turtle's head, the size of an adult lion's head, roaring, and then opening its mouth, it started eating the body of the man who had fallen into the lake.

_ _

Marine Monster [Mutant Turtle] Rank F: Level 6.

_ _

"My God! This thing is at least level 6!" The men of the Qin Clan wished they had four legs with which they could flee.

Nero did not bother to chase them, as she now had a bigger problem.

Choko was frozen in place. She tried not to breathe, as she was standing very close to the lake...

Neo saw the monster looking in Choko's direction. "Damn it!" she cursed, and flew using his wings at full speed. Although she was not confident of winning against such a behemoth, she was sure that she could at least grab Choko and escape.

'I need to make it in time!' Nero felt more anxious when she saw the turtle that was huge, but somehow fast, heading towards Choko.
