When the dust settled and everyone was able to see Rein and the porcupine monster again, the girls sighed in relief and again focused on their own opponents. Rein was fine and had managed to restrain the monsters with flame and ice which were pitch black in colour.
The ability of this monster was extremely powerful. The spikes on its back had the ability to erase and disintegrate other abilities. The only reason Rein was able to restrain this monster was because he used his Eye of Truth to find a weak point of this monster and then he used his Spatial manipulation talent to teleport himself slightly under this monster where no spikes were present.
As his Spatial manipulation talent was extremely restricted, Rein was not able to perform most of the spatial techniques of his. But slight teleportation was not a problem for him. So using his teleportation in the perfect moment, Rein was able to restrict this powerful monster. If Rein fought this monster directly then he would need to work extremely hard to defeat it.
...
After seeing that even the strongest monsters, who were the leaders of this area were easily defeated by the minions of the newly appeared threat, all the other monsters started to absorb more and more energy from the large Huguocite mountain. Those three monster leaders also did the same. Just like that, the size of the mountain continued decreasing continuously.
Obviously this was making the monsters stronger but at the same time Rein, Sophia and Ruby were also absorbing energy from it, so they were also getting strengthened. For that reason, they were still able to continue dominating the monsters without any problem.
After about 5 minutes of this stalemate, Rein noticed that the Huguocite rock had become only about 3 meters tall now. This was still a large size, but at least now Rein should be able to carry it without any problems.
So Rein did not waste any time and immediately went close to the rock. As Rein had managed to defeat the strongest among the three leader monsters easily, no other monsters got on his way. As soon as Rein reached close to the rock, he used all his power to pick it up and threw it away toward Sophia.
But this decision that Rein made turned out to be a correct one. The mountain-like monster was slow even when it took on its fastest form, so Rein was not worried about it catching up to them. But the fireball monster and the porcupine monster were extremely fast and were chasing after the three of them all this time.
But with Ruby's reckless but fast driving, they were able to keep those three monsters far away and were able to safely leave the range of the Desolate Plains of Gahana. After making sure that those monsters were not coming after them anymore, finally Ruby slowed down the car and all three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Then they high-fived each other to celebrate a successful completion of the mission.
...
Ben was sitting in his living room while thinking about the group of young people that he had met some time ago. He was hoping that they would be able to complete the mission that he gave them but he was not hoping for too much.
Actually even if those three were not able to retrieve the whole rock and could only bring a piece of it, Ben would still consider them to be successful. That was because he knew how extremely large that Huguocite actually was, so asking them to bring back the whole rock was a tall and unreasonable order.
Prucia entered the room and served Ben a cup of tea. Ben looked at the diligent Prucia with eyes filled with tenderness and wished in his heart that Rein and his team would really be as strong as he was hoping them to be.
Just as he was sighing while thinking about these things, a loud noise of a car engine disrupted his thoughts. Ben immediately stood up from his seat after recognising the sound of this car engine as it belonged to his favourite Danger Rover. Immediately he went out of the living room to open the door. His heart was in a chaos with various feelings of hope and disappointment dominating it.
As soon as Ben opened the door, he came face to face with Rein, Ruby and Sophia. But before he could ask them any questions, Ben's eyes went to the thing that all three of them were surrounding. With his experienced eyes, Ben was immediately able to identify this large rock and realising what it indicated, his eyes widened in astonishment.
