Chapter 183 - Victory too soon (1/2)

The weather had drastically changed and now it was pouring buckets of rain from the sky. The wind was also ferocious and strong enough to blow over a normal human. Due to this, the group couldn't see so far in the distance but Ray could.

Ray had seen what was ahead due to his dragon eyes and it was big trouble.

While the team's morale was high Ray was careful not to tell anyone of what was coming ahead. It would still take some time before they reached the academy.

Judging by the strength of their aura the beasts ahead were equally as strong, if not even stronger but there was no were for them to run. The first thing Ray needed to do was defeat the current beasts in front of him.

One of the tentacle slug monsters had been defeated but there was still one more to go. However, Ray was low on mana so they weren't able to defeat this one as fast as the one before. Ray continued to attack the beast by pulling and holding onto the tentacles while Gary used his special sword to cut the tentacles.

This was the only thing they could do for now, If Ray pulled or ripped the tentacles they would simply regrow, meaning they would have to slowly rely on Gary's sword.

Over by the Minotaurs, Von, Slyvia, and Harry had decided to Join up with Monk, Martha, and Noir. Martha was currently charging up her Ki to deal a devastating strike to one of the Minotaurs but while her attention was focused on one, another came up to her side and lifted its club.

”lookout!” Slyvia shouted as she dived forward and lifted her shield. The club collided with the shield but the attack was too strong, causing Slyvia to let go of her shield and have it fly off into the air.

”Dam! I need time to charge up an attack.” Martha shouted.

The Minotaur quickly set its sight on the two girls again. The others were to busy dealing with the other two, so there was no one around to help. But before the Minotaur could even get close, Noir came swooping in and picked the two up by their collars using her mouth.

”Who's a good wolf!” Martha praised.

Noir quickly took the two further back and out of harm's way.

”What do we do?” Martha asked, ”We need to take one of the Minotaur's but I can't just stand still and charge an attack.”

Slyvia though for a while, then when she looked at Noir, suddenly she had an idea.

”Why don't you go on its back!” Slyvia pointed at Noir, ”Noir can dodge and avoid their attacks while you fire from the top.”

”That's a great idea, but how do we ask the wolf?”

The two looked at Noir and they felt a shiver run down their spine. Noir was quite scary looking. She stood as big as a house and had dark black fur. On top of her head was a horn and she also had razor-sharp teeth. It was quite natural for them to be afraid of such a thing.

Slyvia then slowly started to approach Noir.

”You, her, on your back” Slyvia said as she made some motions to try to demonstrate what she was trying to say.

”Do you really think the wolf's going to understand?” Martha said.

But the next second Noir lifted and threw Martha in the air just high enough to land on her back.
