Chapter 41: A Powerful Devourer

Chapter 41: A Powerful Devourer

The moment Matt struck him the last blow, Caspian unleashed his vampiric power to slightly increase his speed, which caused Matt's blow to hit him in a way that pushed him forward.

Still, that was also what revealed the identity of the attacker.

How could Matt not realize it was that guy if he revealed his power before him?

'Since you want to kill me, don't blame me for what might happen to you.' Matt thought, anger rising in his heart, and just then, Isla came running up to him with a pale face.

"Matt, are you all right!?" She asked in alarm and didn't hesitate to throw herself beside him, pulling out several bandages to put on the wounds on his body.

The members of the two teams knew that the situation was delicate, so they had to summon their weapons and fight with all their might to eliminate these devourers faster.

Matt nodded to Isla, "I'm fine. Don't worry. Let's get moving from here. I need to recover a bit." He replied, smiling, and got up.

She quickly helped him, "But what about the poison? Isn't it dangerous to move like this?" she asked quickly.

"It's okay; the poison is just a temporary weakener. It seems to be an ability of the weapon I was attacked with, so soon, my strength will return to normal." Matt replied sincerely.

Isla then nodded, and they started walking quickly around the place.

A while later, they stopped to rest in the vicinity of the forest to rest and heal the group's wounds.

According to the Army Leader, in these places, the Devourers don't usually attack before launching a full attack. But several groups of students have likely returned to camp after their hunt by now, so the Devourers should be reorganizing.

As a result, it is considered a safe zone right now.

Getting back to camp would take them a while longer, and although Matt didn't realize it from being stuck with that guy, several of his group members were severely injured, so they needed to be treated.

After tending to them and teaching them various things to make the training effective, Matt looked at his arm and frowned.

'My strength has already returned, which means that poison was a temporary ability. But, these wounds on my arm won't let me move it freely.' Matt thought, thinking it was troublesome.

So, he strapped on some more bandages and then went back to explaining various things to the group while Isla attended to them.

His thoughts wandered during that moment.

'If that guy attacked once, I can't think he won't do it again. And if he managed to convince his group to attack us, it would be problematic if I can't move my arm freely, but if I can teach these little guys various things, they'll be useful.' He thought as he taught his effective and easy-to-learn assassination tactics.

As well as keeping his mind sharp. Now that he knows a guy among the vampires wants to assassinate him, he must be careful in every step he takes. Therefore, he did not let his guard down for a moment.

'What the hell is such a powerful guy doing here?' Matt thought in shock.

"Vampires, since you dare to steal one of our clan's treasures, don't expect things to end well for you." The Devourer growled and unleashed all his power into the surroundings.

This tremendous power took away the ability to breathe from many of Matt's team members, who couldn't stand the pressure and fell a bit to their knees.

Matt and Isla's eyes widened as they felt this.

'That's over 5,000 power!' They thought in shock.

Being trapped by such a powerful guy was the worst thing that could happen right now.

Still, Matt didn't look too nervous.

He even smiled a little. Although his skin itched from the power this guy was revealing, he also felt his blood boiling hard.

This was the first time he could fight such a powerful guy by himself.

This wasn't just any devourer. He had already received a hard skin upgrade, so he was a tough devourer to beat and very dangerous.

Maybe Alice couldn't beat him if they faced each other.

Despite that, Matt was revealing a smile.

'Tsk, maybe I'm going crazy. But... I want to see how strong I've become.' He thought to himself, though he hadn't forgotten about the members of his group.

'Negotiating is impossible... I still don't understand how this guy could have possibly gotten here and how he hid from the leaders, but... There must be a way to get away.' Matt thought and looked from side to side slightly.

His smile and the fact that he wasn't paying enough attention to the guy in front of him was provocative, at least to this mighty Devourer.

"You smile and ignore me? Hmph, let me wipe that smile off your face, you bastard." Said the most powerful Devourer, and without another word, he charged hard at him.

His speed was so fast that Matt could only move his arms to his chest to defend himself, and the impact sent him back dozens of feet as his feet dug into the ground.

'Too powerful...' Matt thought in shock. That blow alone felt like his bones were going to break.

Still, he couldn't run away from this battle. He needed to create an opportunity to escape. So, he launched his dimensional move to appear before the Devourer instantly, hitting it in the chest as well.

"Isla, command the others to kill the rest; leave this big guy to me!" He shouted.New n0vel chapters are published on
