Chapter 12 - Two Men Wins!

Alkent resisted the sharp claws of Wrathful Thunder Lion with his greatsword. Sparks flew as the claw brushed along the sharp edge of the enhanced greatsword made of special biological metallic alloy.

The beast's claw was powerful as Alkent tightened his grip on the hilt of his greatsword as his wrist trembled due to the strong force of the collision. Moreover, the lightning on the claws was affecting his arms, making it numb.

Alkent did not dare to get distracted and focused his attention on the beasts as it moved as lightning speed, appearing from all sides.

Evading the incoming lightning clad claw from his left side, Alkent's pupils shrunk as he saw a lightning tail swiftly whipped towards his right.

Instinctively, he jumped into the air, somersaulted forward, and struck down with his greatsword. He ran his ability and increased the sharpness and durability of his greatsword by 12 times.

His greatsword was made from a metallic crystal from a shell of a Diamond-level beast, the Thousand Sword Turtle. It was called Thousand Sword due to its shell where thousand of sword-shaped spikes grew that was very tough and sharp.

When processed specially, the metallic crystal can be molded into any shapes, but it was more appropriate to be made into a sword as it has extraordinary sharpness. It was so sharp that a falling feather could be cut if it fell on the sharp edge.

Sensing danger above, the Wrathful Thunder Lion swiftly evaded the blade by jumping far to the right. The extremely sharp greatsword cut a dozen meters sword mark on the ground. Proof of how sharp it was.

Alkent smiled faintly and chuckled. "Haha! Not so fast kitty!"

The Wrathful Thunder Lion roared in anger as it felt a sharp pain from its tailbone and saw that its beautiful tail has gone missing. Few meters away from Alkent, it saw its tail, covered in blood. It felt that the world was not colorful anymore. Its bright blue electric eyes turned crimson all over as it lost reason over a chopped-off tail.

Alkent backed away several meters as he saw bolts of lightning shoots out from its body, circling it like snakes, ravaging everything around it as it roared with immense fury. It floated several inches off the ground and charged at Alkent covered with lightning.

Claws after claws reached out to him, intending to reap him into pieces, scouring the ground into charred coal and smithereens.

With much greater threat, Alkent could only focused on evading the attacks as he knew that if he counterattack, with his slow speed, he would be injured. Only at this moment, he thought that he was not alone.

"But where is that damn black guy?!!" Alkent cursed in his heart. He swore loudly. "Damn you Rovanold! Come out now and help me! If I die here, I will be your ghost! You will never have a happy sex life! I swear!"

"F!@#$!" Alkent cursed loudly as he defended from fast swinging claws of the Wrathful Thunder Lion, using his greatsword as a shield, but got electrocuted as lightning flow through his sword to his arms and slapped far away. He flipped and stuck his greatsword on the ground to stop his momentum.

"Hahaha! Keep it up, Alkent!" Rovanold laughed as he appeared from above and fell on top of the beast.

Without Reason, the Wrathful Thunder Lion only knew how to attack and not defend or evade, thus it was caught off guard.

Rovanold attacked with all his strength and struck the beast on the head with his shiny black fist. He did not forget roaring the name of his attack. "Black Steel Fist - Earthshaker!"

slammed onto the ground, stunned by the fist that could shake mountain and was slightly injured, having taken over by anger, it also lost its sensation of pain and attacked even if it was already bloodied.

It paused for a second, and this second was something Alkent did not let by. He rushed passed the beast his greatsword downward, intending to cut off the beast`s right hind-leg that supported its fast speed, but encountered resistance as it has a physique greater than his own.

"Get cut damn it!" Alkent shouted as he put more pressure onto his sword as it cut deeper causing blood to gush out of the wound.

ROAARR!!!

The Wrathful Thunder Lion roared in fury. It felt no pain after having one leg almost cleaved-off, and immediately counter-attacked by biting Alkent. However, Alkent was fast and quickly evaded even if it lost the chance of severing the beast`s hind-leg.

Even so, it was still heavily injured and it could no longer use its right hind-leg. Thus, affecting its center of gravity and speed.

Alkent went close to Rovanold and after seeing that he was not injured, he complained angrily. "You took your time huh?! Do you want more rest?"

Rovanold ignored the taunt and looked at the heavily injured beast and replied casually. "I saw something, but I guess it is not a problem for us at the moment."

Though puzzled, Alkent did not inquire further. "Though I don`t know what it is, forget about it for now. Let us kill this electrifying cat first."

Rovanold agreed without hesitation. "Well, be sure to hit it while I make it busy."

After a moment of pause, the beast once again attacked. It lunged straight at Alkent who injured it, following the hatred that was gushing out if its mind. It clawed Alkent but got intercepted by another person.

Rovalond turned his body into steel and parried the sharp claws with his bare-hands causing sparks as metal grind on each other. The sharp claw left shallow white claw marks on his arms and shoulder.

He clasped the beast`s claw and borrowed the momentum of its lunged. Turning around, he lowered his center of gravity performed a shoulder throw. Rovanold slammed it onto the ground and punched its head with all the strength of his right arm.

Stunned by the punch, Alkent appeared above with his greatsword, sharpened to the limit by his ability. His arms bulged as he gripped the hilt tightly and swung it down with all his strength. Swoosh!!! A sharp air blade was made as it cut through the beast`s neck, almost severing it, creating several tens of meters long sword mark along its path.

Even so, the attack killed it instantly. Most Diamond-level beasts were strong and have a great physique, immense muscle strength, and almost indestructive defense, an atomic bomb could only scratch their skin, but the degree of defense depends on what kind of beast it was.

A Wrathful Thunder Lion was an abnormal beast as it has a strong defense, strength, and speed, but Alkent`s greatsword was not normal either as it could cut even a defense of an Adamantium-level beast if strengthen by his ability to the limit.

Seeing the beast died, Alkent stuck his sword on the ground and sighed in relief. "It's dead finally. Now we can get the hell out of here and have some rest."

"That sword attack is great. You should create a name for it." Rovanold suggested as he took a dagger and cut through the chest of the beast, found its heart, and took out a blue glowing crystal.

Alkent`s face cringed as he heard his companion. "Then, shout it out while attacking? Can you even do a sneak attack?!"

Rovanold snorted and replied uproariously. "Sneak attack? I`m an upright man! I do not attack from the back!"

"I know, I know!" Alkent shooed annoyingly. "Just get those useless guys and cut this carcass into pieces. A Diamond-level beast. Its meat will sell well."

"Captain Black Steel!"

"Captain White Sword!"

Several men appeared with an unsightly appearance as they were affected by the battle.

Seeing their bruised faces and muddy clothes, Rovanold could help but laugh. "Hahaha! Alright, guys! Its time for you to work!"

Not far away, Reid watched as they cut the Wrathful Thunder Lion carcass into pieces and stored them in their Space Bag.

"These guys are good. I thought I will need to step in and steal their prey." He turned around and left. "Well, that was a good fight."
