Chapter 32: Damn! (1)

Even though zero only whispered those words the other three heard him quite well, their body stiffened and their eyes dilated. Beads of sweat ran down their foreheads as they turned to gaze at the 5ft tall one-eyed spider monkey. The intimidating aura diffusing from this beast was mentally suppressing them!

Gulp!

These four swallowed hard and for the first time in a long time, they felt anxious in battle, even though their years of training fervently under their parents helped them remain calm in such a nasty situation. An outsider watching them would think they are simply waiting for the spider monkey to make its move, but in reality, they were struggling to adjust their thoughts and focus on what's important here.

Even the weakest rated magic beasts can exude this much mental pressure! If they are this powerful, how strong are the disaster level magic beasts?

Back then in class, Zero just assumed that miss Lane was simply exaggerating the strength of these magic beasts. It's normal if a D rated magic beast can defeat a single D rated guardian, but claiming it can defeat two to three D rated guardians at once is not something Zero wanted to believe, until now. Right now he realized that miss Lane wasn't joking, in his opinion he concluded that she has greatly underrated these beasts. Anyone who does not have enough mental fortitude will not even be able to lift a finger against these magic beasts! One must not fear death to be able to battle these beasts. Right now, the aura this beast is releasing is far more terrifying than what the D rated guardian, Dean had. Even when going up against the guardian, they were not scared but just knowing that this monster was staring at them made their scalp tingle.

Only now did they believe that magic beasts could fight on par with guardians a rating above them. the confidence they built over time through their numerous victories in the past was on the verge of collapsing. They finally realized that when dealing with a magic beast, one also has to be mentally prepared for anything, he or she ever wishes for any chance at victory.

Growl!!!

The one-eyed spider green spider monkey growled furiously them while hitting its chest repeatedly with both fists as a sign, warning the invaders to back away. Normally the spider monkey race is one that moves in groups and never wanders far from the main group. Their intelligence level is ridiculously low but it is high enough for these beasts to experience, fear, anger, discontent, lust, and other necessary emotions. For this reason, situations, where some male members of the pack break away to find a new, unclaimed territory, is not really rare and these deserters are the ones that usually fall prey to the guardians.

"Apparently, this one is a deserter and is probably trying to secure dominance over its new territory before heading out to seek out females… Poor thing…" Zero was the first to snap out of the daze, rearranging his thoughts while accessing the situation.

"If that's true then we have no reason to fear… since the beast has left its pack… we only have one magic beast to deal with. I refuse to believe the four of us cant deal with an E rated magic beast if we join hands… Its an insult to our parents if we should die at the hands of such a low rated magic beast" Kira took a few steps forward before assuming a fighting stance. His scarlet red pupils let out a bright glow and his hands let out hissing sounds each time it moved.

"Yea, even if our abilities are still at the infant phase, they are special! Our parents used these abilities to battle foes at a higher rating, making names for themselves… we are the descendants of the four wings of the liberation union… I refuse to believe that we cant take down a measly E rated magic beast!" Akila walked forward fearlessly. Standing beside Kira, he breathed heavily while his muscles began bulging as his sand-colored aura washed through his body. His eyes turned completely yellow and his two arms were slightly bigger than the rest of his body.

After practicing with Zero on numerous occasions, his control over his aura has reached a higher level. Now Akila can effortlessly reinforce two parts of his body without any issues, only when he tries to reinforce the third will he suffer some difficulties.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

"Don't get too excited, as fun as it may be to go wild and just dash into our deaths, I prefer to stay alive until I kill my father's murderers. This isn't some sort of training, this is not a battle with a rated guardian who fears to kill us because of our background… we need to be careful and fight together, just the way we have been practicing all through our lives…" Dan said while moving past Kira and Akila, standing right in front of them while unsheathing his small black dagger.

Clap!

Clap!!

Zero stood behind the other three, crouching with a bitter smile on his face. His eyes darted around the empty land filled with building materials as if he were trying to confirm that they are alone. After a while, Zero nodded at the other three before clapping his hands together twice.

"Its just us… if you die here while playing hero, I definitely won't tell your story… I'm too lazing for that… Kira and Akila will focus on attack, I will act as defense and support… Dan, as usual, look for an opening… Begin the raid!" Zero declared loudly.
