Chapter 56 - Do You Yield? (1/2)

The moment Will gripped his sword, all of the powerful beasts felt the atmosphere change. Animals have always had more powerful instincts than man. Before Will was a target, now he was a threat. The puppy narrowed its eyes as it observed Will, curious to see what he would do next.

'I really did not want to get serious so quickly, but these guys have forced my hand, that dragon isn't much, but that puppy is a problem.

It looks like it won't make a move until I take care of the other five... man I hate chores, especially taking out the trash.'

The ape, the turtle, the snake, and the bull were merely seconds away from their target when they immediately halted in midair. The energy the dragon was gathering immediately dispersed. Letty looked on with shock in her eyes.

All Will had done was look at the beasts and they stopped in the middle of their tracks. She had no idea what Will had done.

'Could it be some high ranking ability that causes beasts to freeze temporarily? Why didn't he use it earlier?'

Letty was half correct, this was an ability, but it was not one bestowed by the system like mana from the heavens. No, it was something Will had spent five years grinding to the point of perfection. It was intent.

At this instant, the five beasts no longer felt like they were fighting a human, for some reason Will seemed like an Asura straight from the abyss. All five of them felt as if there was a sharp sword lying on their necks waiting for them to make a single mistake.

There clearly was no sword, but there was no denying their instincts. The turtle was spooked and intermediately started to retreat. It shrunk to the size of a soccer ball and started flying away.

Will was no slouch either. Like lightning, he bolted off the ground and headed straight for the turtle. Due to its cowardly nature, the turtle had been at the back of the four. So even though Will was targeting the turtle, the others all thought he had started attacking them so they retaliated, despite the instinctive fear taking control over their bodies.

At the forefront was the ape. It flung its large fist at Will. The wind displacement caused by this punch caused some dilapidated buildings nearby to collapse.

”Humph.”

Will snorted in disdain at the oncoming fist and brought out a small sphere of water. The ball was thrown at the oncoming fist and exploded upon impact.

The explosion was not meant for damage but was meant for cover. Within that tiny ball of water was a large amount of condensed water which Will immediately converted into a large amount of water vapor. The entire area surrounding Will and the five beasts was shrouded in mist.

The moment Will formed the mist he easily glided past the ape's fist and appeared next to its neck. With a slice, the beasts head came off with it having no clue as to what had occurred.

Using the ape's body as a launch pad Will now headed for the bull. The loss of sight did not affect the bull much because it mainly relied on its sense of hearing. It could tell that Will had decapitated it companion and was headed its way.

With a bellow, the bull charged forth while its body shined with a green metallic sheen. It targeted Will with one of its large horns. Were it not for his ice pads Will would have fallen victim to them. The bull was painfully slow in Will's eyes so it was easy for him to circumvent the horns.
