64 Groan... (1/2)

Ozul had seen enough of the Monster to grow stronger! The more he waited, the worst his headache would get.

Since this was the case, he would have to take the initiative. Instead of blindly rushing in, he swept his eyes in the surroundings only to see the mayhem created during the commotion.

Most of the people were dead, while the others were struggling. All because of this 'Anomaly' in front of him.

All the while, Ozul did not even give it a passing thought that this destruction may be due to the life-like black symbols on his leg.

Even if he knew this, he wouldn't care. What matters the most to him is himself, not the lives of those filthy 'creatures'.

Then Ozul's sight landed on the two Rank-8 existences, both showing contrasting expressions.

He hated both of them, one because he sold his limbs away. The other, because he was harming him even at this moment.

Ozul had noticed the smug smile on that guy's face. He still did not know why he was creating such a monstrosity, but it did not matter to him since he only cared about his leg.

The Monster had a power level around a Rank-10 Mage, and it was still increasing!

But he did not think about who would win or who would lose in this situation. He wanted his leg back, and that was final!

Taking this moment as an opportunity, Ozul rushed towards the 8 meters tall monstrosity.

When everything was still and silent except for the Monster, the running figure of Ozul was quickly noticed by everyone who was still alive.

Everyone was confused as to why that guy would run towards the Monster instead of running away from it.

Has he gone insane due to all the pressure because of the battles and this Monster's power?

Raven and Blaze both wanted to stop him, but they could not even stand up straight. The most Raven could do was stretch out her hand, which Ozul wholly ignored.

This was not the time to explain why he was rushing in or why he should not stay behind.

Unfortunately, since everyone else had noticed, Leader Podas had also seen him. His amused smile quickly turned into a frown.

'Hmph! Does he think he can even get close to...'- Podas did not want to believe that a kid who did not even exude a hint of Mana could get even near the Rank-10 and still growing existence in front of him.

Even a Fighter had Mana because he strengthened his whole body with it, but this kid clearly did not!

However, Podas put those thoughts to a stop as he remembered that he was the same kid who was fighting against his subordinate.

Moreover, where even Rank-7 individuals were having a hard time breathing, this kid still had the strength to run towards the Monster!

It could only mean that this kid was somehow hiding his strength!

'What is he going to do?!..'- Podas put these thoughts in the back of his mind as this was not the time to contemplate but take action.

He couldn't be careless now that his plan was close to fruition. Podas noticed that Edwin had no intention to take action now that he had seen the Monster's strength.

So, he could make a move without any interruption. He had to stop Ozul himself since his subordinates were in no condition even to walk much less stop him.

He flew straight towards Ozul, nearing the Monster. He did not understand what the kid intended to achieve, but he would not let some kid ruin his plans.

Ozul only noticed Podas rushing towards him when a black ball made up of corrosive gas attacked him.

It delighted Ozul, not because he was attacked. But because he now knew that his enemy was a Darkness Element Mage!

His eyes narrowed in disdain as the corrosive smoke, which was about to hit him, just fell onto the ground.

*Ssssssss...*

When the Spell collided with the ground, it even started dissolving the soil! It demonstrated the power behind a Rank-8 Mage's just casual Spell!

Podas was confused as to why his Spell just stopped working in midway?! That didn't make any sense at all!

It felt like his Spell did not even want to collide with the kid!
