Chapter 411 - Strange town (part 2) (1/2)

Not only Monk but the other two men had also arrived at the scene, where the screams were heard. They both stood next to him wearing beast gear and weapons. They could see part of the ship crew being attacked by what looked like some strange huge jellyfishes. The beats had a large head on top with two huge red eyes on it. Then using its many tentacles, it was able to grip onto the ship, and they were even strong enough for it to walk on land.

The scary-looking jellyfish were about as giant as a human. At the moment there were only two jellyfish, but Monk knew they couldn't be any higher than an intermediate level.

As one of the tentacles from the jellyfish went to grip around one of the workers who had fallen across the floor, just in the nick of time, a sword came swinging down from a man cutting the tentacle clean off.

The other man was also helping the civilians; he carried a spear. He would continuously push the Jellyfish back while allowing the others to flee and head back to the inn and other buildings away from the river.

Seeing that the two men were handling everything fine, Monk stayed back a little.

Then, when everything was looking up, three more appeared out from the river and had climbed up on the wooden port.

”Crap, we need more people.” The spear wielder shouted.

Just then, running past both the two men, they could see someone in scattered and tattered clothing holding two daggers in his hands run past.

”Is he a civilian, he can't be thinking of going up against those things, he has no armour.” The man said as he finished dealing with the first jellyfish, slicing at its head downwards.

”Careful, young man!” he shouted out. ”If those tentacles touch your bare skin, they have a shocking effect. They touch you; you're done for!”

After giving his warning, he thought perhaps the young man would decide to back off, but instead, he continued running forward.

”AH, I can't let the foolish kid die like this.” The swordsman said as he started to run after him, but the next thing he saw had frozen him entirely.

The tentacles came out, towards Monk, and he managed to avoid not just an attack from one of them, but all three. At the right time, he was able to duck, then bend, placing his hand on the floor, tilting backwards and while doing all this, Monk was able to place his attacks with ease. In just a few seconds, most of the tentacles had fallen off, and they hadn't touched him a single time.

The other two watched, even though they had struggled, but they had beast tier armour on. These dreaded jellyfish were the bane of their existence. They would often come on the shore, so they had specific equipment that would protect them from the shocks. It was the reason why they were able to fight so confidently.

But they had never seen someone so young, be so skilled before, and before they knew it. The boy they were watching had defeated all three of the Jellyfish creatures.

After defeating them, Monk quickly went for the beast crystals inside, pulling them out and placing them in his small pouch by his side.

”Maybe I don't have to do any quests after all. If I sell these, I can pay that woman back.” He said with a smile but saw the other two people walking towards him. 'Oh, do they maybe want the crystals? It wasn't an official quest after all, and I'm in the town. Different places work differently, don't they?'
