Chapter 277 Monster Hunters [Part 2]

Originally, the Unicorn thought that it was going to be an easy battle.

It might lack strength, but it was fast, deadly, and able to wield many magical attacks that could annihilate even Rank 5 Sovereigns without a problem.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

It could also do short and long distance teleport, allowing it to attack and escape without any problems.

It should have been an easy battle, but to its surprise and frustration, the monsters fighting against it were very cunning and didn't fear it in the slightest.

Usually, lower ranked monsters would be too intimidated by its mere existence, running away almost immediately.

Aside from the Beholder living on the Fourth Island, the Unicorn doesn't have any rivals within the Arcadian Archipelago.

As the First Island's Apex Predator, it hunted monsters—not the other way around.

But this time, a group of Sovereigns and Alpha Monsters were teaming up against it.

Even after about fifteen minutes of fighting, its opponents only suffered minor injuries. This made the Unicorn start doubting itself, wondering if it had become dull after not fighting any strong opponents for nearly a decade.

Unfortunately, it didn't have time to ponder such things because a spiked mace was only inches away from its face.

Using its Blink Ability, the Unicorn reappeared behind the Ogre, intending to use its horn to pierce its heart from behind.

But as if expecting this move, the second Ogre readily unleashed an attack, directly hitting the side of the Unicorn's face and sending it skidding a few meters away.

A small wound appeared on the Unicorn's face, making it neigh loudly.

Dark clouds gathered as if to answer the Unicorn's call before a lightning bolt descended from the sky and hit its horn.

"Die!"

The Unicorn unleashed an area of attack lightning spell, which was enough to turn Rank 4 Monsters instantly into charcoal.

But to its surprise, the Ogres and the Trolls that it targeted were nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, the ground under its feet gave way, making the Unicorn fall into a sinkhole.

they had already experienced fighting one before.

The strategy was really simple.

Rocky would remain underground and bring anyone whose lives were in danger inside its Mobile Fortress.

He would then eject them in the enemy's blindspot, allowing them to land a blow.

The Troll Shamans would predict where the Unicorn would appear and tell their comrades to attack in that direction.

Thanks to the teamwork that they had polished for the past three years, all of them moved like a single unit, able to dish out a constant supply of damage to their enemies while only suffering minor injuries.

In simpler terms, they were playing dirty!

Thirteen had drilled into their heads that they couldn't afford to fight fair and square against opponents who were stronger than them.

Almost all the monsters that faced Thirteen's subordinates died unresigned and frustrated.

It might be a stretch to fight against a Rank 9 Sovereign, but it was still possible to deal with a Rank 8 Monster.

They might not win the battle, but they would certainly not lose.

Even if their opponent were able to heal and regenerate its injuries, Giga and the others fought and treated the Unicorn as a training dummy that aided their practice to help them grow a little stronger.

An hour later, the Unicorn panted for breath while covered with Giga Chad's spray.

It felt ashamed and embarrassed of its current state, but its opponents refused to die.

Rocky made sure that everyone was safe and stayed hidden underground, away from the Unicorn's attack range.

Truth be told, if the Unicorn didn't know how to teleport, it would have suffered serious injuries by now.

Giga watched with regret as the Unicorn purified its body with its holy properties, removing his acidic stink spray that would have melted any Rank 3 Monsters that got hit by it directly.

Thirteen's monsters were all exhausted, but their eyes were still brimming with determination.

None of them wanted to experience the same helplessness they felt when they were up against Arundel in the past.

So, now that they were facing off against a strong opponent, all of them gritted their teeth and used the fighting style Thirteen had ingrained into their heads and bodies.
