First Series: Wilderness Rumble (4)

"Her name is Enorin," Aleron said with a laugh. "She is so cute and beautiful, right?"

'Well, I am also seeing her for the first time, haha.'

"B-But her bloodline…she must be a royalty of high caliber with immense potential," Rias muttered while watching Enorin, who was destroying monsters left and right.

The other legendary-rank powerhouses nearby were dumbfounded and sweated buckets while keeping a significant distance from her.

Despite being Legendary-rank like her, she was twice as powerful and her skills outclassed theirs by far!

"I am also going to join below, Rias. See you later," Aleron said with a grin as he descended at full speed and arrived at the area where no one was fighting nearby.

The sea was in the west and monsters were flooding into the forest in the east before branching into the northeast and southeast direction.

The villages and towns were in the southeast direction so Club Heads were in this area to prevent monsters from encroaching further towards the population.

Roxen and other Generals of Legendary-rank were at the edge of the forest towards the sea, reducing the number of monsters and eliminating Legendary-rank monsters before they could go into the forest.

Half of them stayed on the open beach while the other half stayed in the forest and used the giant trees and forest nature for advantage in moving to kill monsters.

Only Legendary-rank powerhouses were present on this whole battlefield at the moment, but the number of monsters was abundant as they flooded from the ocean in hundreds and thousands, their rank ranging from Exception-rank to Legendary-rank.

Legendary-rank monsters were not many, but the number of Epic-rank and Exception-rank were in thousands to tens of thousands.

Rias looked at the rate at which monsters were emerging from the sea while giving a helping hand and commanding others to direct them to stronger monsters that escaped their radar.

She took a look at Aleron as well and was immediately startled.

Aleron had two fancy gauntlets with tiger-head designs and black and dark gold patterns on them in his hands, which was his 2nd attack-type skill-- Elemental Tiger Symphony.

[Elemental Tiger Symphony]

_Rank: SS — Low

_Descriptions: Envelop the user's hands in two gauntlets that can unleash a symphony of four elemental powers designed by the user—Flame Orb, Wind Orb, Ice Orb, and Lightning Orb. Each elemental orb is designed such that its released power can synergize with other orbs for a combo effect.

\_Skill Parameters:

—Type: Attack Gear-type 

—Cost: 400 Mana for Gauntlets / Minimum 70 Mana for each elemental Orb released.

—Range: Long.

This skill's rank was higher than his Pistole Fire Monkey skill and it was fun to use! 

*Neighh!*

"Finally an Epic-rank monster," Aleron grinned as he saw a four-meter-tall Emerald-Horned Horse rushing at him with its emerald scales around the legs and head shining.

Aleron pointed his left gauntlet at it before a beautiful icy orb instantly conjured and shot at the horse. 

When it neared the horse, it shone and transformed into a roaring tiger's head releasing a burst of frigid icy wave forward from its roaring mouth that froze the horse entirely!

Right after that, Aleron pointed his right gauntlet at it and released a dark blue orb crackling with lightning.

The orb struck the frozen Emerald-Horned Horse as a lightning-roaring tiger projection expanded from it and released a powerful lightning bolt that synergized with the frost. The lightning power of the bolt consumed ice power and spread all over the horse visibly with tendrils spreading across its body and tearing it apart.

Dead.

The roaring tiger phenomenon of each elemental orb was precisely the reason why it was named Elemental Tiger Symphony. As for why there was the roaring tiger phenomenon in the skill's design? Well, Aleron wanted to make his skill look fancy!

But he didn't have the time to rest because from behind the monster he just killed, a bunch of Exceptional-rank Black-Shelled Turtles led by an Epic-rank Black-Shelled Turtle jumped over the horse, opening their mouths mid-air as they released ink-black spheres toward Aleron.

However, Aleron only chuckled. The Pistol Fire Monkey that he put on a tree's branch near him shot six bullets speedily, each one precisely hitting an ink-black sphere and blasting all six spheres with a single command from Aleron.

Right after that, Aleron's left gauntlet released a Flame Orb this time as it shot toward the group of Black-Shelled Turtles that just landed on the ground.

Right behind that Flame Orb was a Wind Orb released by his right gauntlet.

Just as Flame Orb arrived before the group of turtles and released an intense flame wave forward, the Wind Orb exploded into it and fueled the firepower, destroying all turtles into ashes, including the Epic-rank one.

'I love these gauntlets! As expected of me,' Aleron laughed.

Behind him, a Venom Vine Snake pounced him while its fangs glinted maliciously. Alas, Aleron only had to activate his defense skill rune since he already sensed the snake, covering him in the dark green turtle-like shell which had brown patterns.

[Turtle Shell Barrier]

_Rank: A — High.

_Descriptions: A defensive round barrier designed like a turtle's shell in appearance that covers the user entirely and protects from magical and physical attacks. It is made with sophisticated use of Earth energy and constructed with various Arcane Syllabuses suitable to enhance its defensive power.

\_Skill Parameters:

—Type: Defense-type / Pure Defense

—Cost: Minimum 300 Mana. Consume more Mana depending on its size.

The snake's fangs shattered upon hitting the barrier since it was just a pitiful Exceptional-rank monster.

*Pew..Boom!*

Aleron commanded and consumed 50 Mana as the Fire Pistole Monkey shot a bullet and destroyed it.

*Drrr….*

The ground suddenly started shaking afterward and a second later, a powerful roar resounded from the direction of the sea.

The trembling increased in intensity and Aleron suddenly saw a bunch of flying fish with blade-like mouths zooming towards him from the sky.

Narrowing his eyes, Aleron activated his control-type skill rune—Freezing Wind Sparrow.
