Chapter 61 Transformation

Chapter 61 Transformation

The beast that was exposed looked like a huge scaly lizard, at least 10 metres in length. It looked like a prehistoric crocodile!

Mud and water were sent flying in all directions as the lengthy beast landed on the roots and dirt and snatched the meat away.

"An E rank beast!" Alex abandoned his stealthy approach and shouted across to Mira.

'This looks even stronger than the bear Rowan and I took down!'

Alex wasn't sure he could even kill this scaly beast. Its skin looked much tougher than that of the bear, and with only some normal combat knives at their disposal, it would be even tougher to pierce through.

But they didn't want to let go of the opportunity they had created for themselves.

"You flank left, I'll flank right." Mira called out to him and started moving to the side of the beast.

Alex listened to her command and did the same.

There was no leader in this duo. They would follow each other's lead when one thought they had a better idea than the other.

And Alex was stumped on how they'd deal with this crocodile beast.

Taking up his position to the left, he looked for Mira to see what she would do next.

Taking her combat knife, Mira plunged out of the water onto a nearby root, and with her speed and strength no longer hindered by the swamp, she launched herself towards the spine of the beast, utilising her full speed.

'Incredible!'

Alex exclaimed in his mind when he saw her move. Her usage of combining her strength and speed to launch herself like a spring was ingenious.

He didn't have an accurate measurement, but he was sure that in that instant, she moved at speeds past 95 m/s.

That's near the limit of E+ rank!

In a matter of milliseconds, Mira reached the back of the crocodile and slashed her knife across the spine of the beast.

Splash!

She landed on the other side of the beast, next to Alex, and observed the damage she had done to the beast.

Just a shallow wound!

That's what her attack did.

The beast had barely even noticed it had been attacked yet — it was still too busy munching on the fox meat Alex laid as bait.

And to prove this point, the croc beast surfaces a couple hundred metres away at the base of another tree.

"Over there!"

Alex and Mira launched off the roots and landed in the water 50 metres away from the beast.

"What can we do now, our knives aren't strong enough to pierce through its flesh and my flames are useless when we're surrounded by water?" Alex asked Mira for any idea, as he was all out of them.

One had to remember that they were only as strong as an untrained E+ rank human. Beasts had much stronger and tougher bodies than humans of the same level.

"Let me try something." Mira spoke and then moved away from Alex and closed her eyes.

The air started vibrating as Mira's shoulder length black and grey hair started growing all of a sudden and her hair started turning a golden blonde.

'Golden Presence!'

Alex knew what she was doing immediately.

She was activating her talent!

In less than a second, the transformation was over and Mira opened her eyes.

She looked like a whole new person, she was much more beautiful as her redeeming features were enhanced even more.

Her muscles looked more defined, and her clothes wrapped around her even tighter, expressing her more 'petite' features for Alex to ogle.

But Alex wasn't interested in anything like that at the moment.

He was more focused on what she was going to do next. She turned to Alex, and spoke.

"Give me your knife." Not expecting this, it took him a second to react but he did as she said and took his combat knife and threw it at her.

She caught it, and immediately threw it at the crocodile beast 50 metres away.

Shing!

Completely different to her previous attack, it actually penetrated through its skin!

The knife stabbed through the croc's front leg and pinned it to the root.

Roarr!

Mira rushed over to the beast.

The real battle began.
