Chapter 885: The Alpha Predator

Chapter 885: The Alpha Predator



Arad took a step forward, the punt gun resting on his shoulder with a faint smile on his face. His eyes flashed purple his back burned with magic as he took a stance, aiming at the

monster's neck, the skull should be left as a trophy.

The punt gun was loaded with a 0.45 kg, or one pound steel bolt engraved with a magic inscription by Merlin. It'll gather Arad's magic, infuse it, and release it upon impact. Everyone knew that Arad wasn't using a normal bullet to take the monster down, but none cared as he was the only one who could use such a massive gun.

"Look! It's Merlin's magic." One of the students pointed as purple sparks started rushing from Arad's back into the punt gun, charging the bolt with magic. But in fact, Arad is the one charging it, as a normal shot might not take the monster down.

Isdis and her band started hitting their drums and blowing their horns, a war tune boomed across the jungle as Arad got ready to shoot.

The brachiosaurus looked to the side, seeing Arad standing a fair distance ahead of the carriages, sparking with purple magic. With a thunderclap, Arad shot his shot, releasing a shockwave powerful enough to quake the ground and lift the carriages from the ground. He had infused the bolt with both lightning and gravity magic, allowing it to accelerate faster and heat up to a point where it'll evaporate upon impact, unleashing a devastating blast.

The bolt flashed light lightning, illuminating the jungle and painting it purple as it raced toward the brachiosaurus's neck.

The brachiosaurus rapidly tilted its neck, taking the bolt as a mere graze, even the explosion failed to sever his neck fully. He is a monster, not an animal. Using the same motion, he spun and swung his tail at Arad and the carriage, ripping massive chunks of the jungle.

All the students cried as they saw the titanic tail racing toward them like a whip. The first shot failed to kill the brachiosaurus.

As the tail smacked onto the carriages, it stopped. Arad was standing there, blocking with a massive stone blade, the one he got from Doma's father.

Half of the students shat themselves, thinking they were going to get crushed.

Zara stared at Arad blocking the titanic tail of the brachiosaurus with a gaping mouth, ɅNo wonder I and the death jaw didn't stand a chance against him, he's on a whole another level.^ Arad kicked the back of his sword, which smacked the tail of the brachiosaurus into the sky, lifting his hind legs and butt into the sky. And the ground beneath Arad's feet exploded from the sheer impact.

While most of the students could barely lift their weight, and even Zara could at best carry a bison on his back, seeing Arad kick half of the Titanic brachiosaurus into the sky made their knees give up. The raw and sheer power he was displaying made them aware, that if he wanted to, he might be able to lift the whole university and throw it into the ocean.

Merlin waved her staff and started chanting. Black clouds engulfed the sky as lightning roared and the wind blew viciously across the tall jungle trees. All the monsters living inside ran away and droplets of water started to fall.

As the students looked at the sky, it started to rain heavily. The flames were natural, so it's safe to douse them with magical rain.

As the rain grew stronger, water vapor engulfed the whole jungle in a heavy mist. The students could only see flashes of red and purple coming from where Arad and the brachiosaurus were fighting. But Merlin wasn't done yet. She stood above the same carriage where Mira was with her sniper and started floating, her staff orbiting her.

"I call a blinding flash from the heavens!" She lifted her hand into the sky, and sparks of lightning flashed from her arm.

With a deafening thunderclap, a massive bolt of lightning fell down and hit the brachiosaurus's back so hard its bones flashed in the mist.

BANG! At that moment, Mira finally shot her shot, the bullet she had in the rifle was a steel bolt filled to the bring with compressed, and highly concentrated poison that Arad made and had Aisha refine. That tiny bolt had the equivalent of five barrels of the poison the students

made.

The bolt flew through the mist, sparking with magic. Unlike how it seemed, Mira wasn't aiming at anything, she was waiting for a signal from Arad, and she got it. A faint white spark of his Ho-white Nova. He wasn't going to blast the place, just used it as a light beacon right after Merlin's lightning strike.

As the steel bolt flew across the mist, Arad teleported to it and covered it with both of his hands, using his gravity magic to change its direction. He guided the bolt to a wound that he made on Brachiosaurus's back and injected the poison directly into his nervous system.

The brachiosaurus growled in pain as its body suddenly grew numb and slowed down, his vision blurred and his legs failed to carry his weight. To the ground he fell, shattering his ribs from his own weight. A fall like this won't harm him normally, but since his muscles can't contract to shield his bones, he got damaged a lot by his own weight.

Taking that chance, Arad landed on its back and pulled a massive spear, "Time to die." He thrust the spear directly at Brachiosaurus's heart, hitting the major artery above it, and sucked all of its blood out. That was one of his vampire abilities, but he'll tell the other students it's an ability of the weapon.

As the mist slowly cleared, the students could see the brachiosaurus's corpse on the ground with a massive spear sticking from its back, and a second later, Arad landed beside them, cracking the ground as steam gushed from his back.

Matilda stared at him, remembering how he killed the death jaw and beat her father and the whole village. In all of those times, Arad wasn't even trying, he was toying with them, and it

became as clear as the day.

ɅWhile we and all the carnivores of the beast land strive to become the alpha predators of the lands. He's already there, an alpha predator, a hunter with all monsters sitting beneath his claws.^ Matilda looked at Arad as he walked toward the carriages, shirtless with purple magic burning from his eyes like fire, and she could feel something twitching inside her.
