Chapter 22: Monster General

Oliver went to an area full of tall grass.

Of course, there were monsters after monsters there even though they were only at Levels 1 to 3.

When they saw him, they immediately rushed towards him.

Previously he had compared them to starving beasts, but now he thought they were more akin to zombies, who would chase humans madly.

Since he was now alone, he immediately turned his ring into a knife.

Even if his level was already higher, he needed to remain serious.

Slowly, golden flames escaped from his fingers, merging with the knife.

Its vast heat instantly dried up the leaves and trees.

Even the knife would have melted under the flames if it was not held by him.

Indeed, it did not affect anything that came into direct contact with him or else his clothes would have turned to ash first.

It actually also had no effect on the object he was originally holding and then threw, so if he threw the knife, it would still be fine.

As the heat merged with the air, the Dragozillas seemed to be having trouble breathing so their movements became erratic.

As his Mana had become bigger, his strength naturally became more ridiculous.

Whoosh!

He slashed a knife at the monsters in front of him.

The flame that was originally only the size of a knife suddenly became huge with a length of up to 15 meters, forming like that knife.

It moved quickly and when it met the monsters, their bodies were instantly split in two and then each of their body parts were burned to ashes. The process was just an instant.

One attack, nearly 20 monsters were killed.

Unfortunately, Oliver didn't get any notification because his level was above them.

And none of them dropped items.

"Is there anyone stronger than them yet?" He wondered but then realized the question didn't make sense since even the Monster Boss had already appeared.

Interestingly, after the monsters died, shadowy figures appeared above each of them, having exactly the same shape except that they were made entirely of shadow.

In addition, they emitted a sort of aura of power that continued to become stronger, even stronger than their original figures.

'It seems that their level was increased to the equivalent of my level,' Oliver thought.

This was certainly the ability of one of his skills, Shadow Army.

'However, it's quite a drain on Mana. I shouldn't activate it if it's just an ordinary monster.'

The skill activated automatically, creating a shadow of whatever creature he killed, with no special control at all.

However, this did not mean it could not be disabled so that no shadows were created.

He observed the shadowy figures. Controlling them only required his mind. He could make them fight with a single thought, chasing whoever he wanted.

To hide them was also easy because they could enter his body.

Now that he was in an unsafe place, he let them roam around.

He then continued to step into the grassy area.

The grasses nearby had already been reduced to ashes but there were still grasses standing in the distance.

They always seemed to sway even when there was no wind.

"Uh..." Something startled Oliver when he looked up.

This was because he heard the roar of that Primordial Sky Wolf.

Then there was some kind of wave that shot upwards from below, towards one of the helicopters flying above.

When it hit the helicopter, it instantly split into pieces and then caught fire and fell from the air.

The pilots of the other helicopters were clearly frightened. They quickly moved their helicopters away.

"It seems that Monster Boss really can't be underestimated," Oliver said.

He naturally had a guess about what happened.

Rumble!

He hadn't reached the area where there was still grass, suddenly the ground beneath him trembled, and made a sound that sounded like a rumble.

This alerted his shadow army.

Crack!

Suddenly the ground below cracked and then split to form a kind of chasm, right where Oliver was standing.

In his haste, he jumped up.

When the ground below was fully exposed, he saw the figure of a Dragozilla that was about 8 meters tall, absolutely huge.

What made it different was that it was wearing armor made of an array of bones. It started from its head to its tail.

The expression on its face also looked ferocious, like it was extremely bloodthirsty.

DING!

(Dragozilla Level 7 with Monster General status!)

The System gave Oliver information about the monster.

As it turned out, it had the status of a general, which was a status below that of a Monster Boss.

Its eyes stared at him, seemingly filled with greed.

Of course, he was very wary now that the monster's level was three levels above him.

Whoosh!

It finally leapt towards him, making his eyes widen due to its speed.

This was probably because its momentum was so high considering it had a boost from the ground it stepped on.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

His shadow army did not stand still. They lunged at it from all sides, ready to gang up on it.

However, the monster only had to wave its tail, generating a very strong gust of wind.

The shadows were instantly pushed back until they hit the ground.

Half of them were instantly destroyed.

When they were destroyed, it was no different from their death.

Realizing that they were unreliable, Oliver quickly released his water power.

He needed to push back this monster first. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

A huge wave of water emerged from him, crashing towards the monster without giving it any room to dodge.

While submerged in the water, it could still rise upwards, but the push from the wave was stronger. It was forcefully pushed underground where it appeared.

BANG!

The landing was really hard, making a very strong vibration.

"Hmph!" Oliver smiled coldly.

So what if the monster was at Level 7 and a Monster General.

It was still helpless when faced with an SSS+ Class Skillsl.

"Now it's my turn to attack," he said in a low voice.

Still up in the air, he threw his knife at the monster.

With his current physical strength, the force of his throw was enough to make the knife move like an arrow.

Coupled with the power of the flame, it instantly turned into a red light shaped like a spear as it glided swiftly towards the monster.

The monster hastily tried to parry, putting each of its hands in front.

Clang!

The knife violently slammed into its hands.
