Chapter 316: Betrayal (1/2)
”ARIEF!!!” shouted Alex with all his might as he watched the Heavenly Group bastards backstabbing Arief.
In Alex's previous life, there were a lot of powerful and famous fighters, who died in order to let the others know the best way to defeat the last monster that guarded the Abyss. After countless trials and failures followed by uncounted sacrifices, the fighters in his previous life had finally found the perfect approach and defeated this abomination.
Therefore, it was for this exact reason Alex made sure the representatives from these countries could find out about it in his life this time. So there were no more casualties when these people tried their respective Abyss Holes.
Actually, if they already knew how, Alex was sure that it would not be difficult to defeat this giant monster. If these people watched how he took care of this monster, they would realize that defeating this Chimera beast only required the cooperation of at least 15 fighters. That figure was insanely small compared to the number of fighters needed to fight other boss-level monsters, which could easily need more than 50 people.
Now, these were the way to take down this 10 meters high and 60 meters long Abyss creature.
First. Restrain its movement.
Because this Abyss creature had wings and its frame was huge, it would be easier to defeat it while it was still in its nest, where there was very little space for it to fly and maneuver freely.
Next, instructed a few fighters to approach the beast before they grabbed and pulled the chains dangling around its neck. This action would send the beast crashing to the ground, further restricting the beast's movement and immobilizing it.
Second. Recognize the threats.
During the battle against this beast, they needed to always observe and pay attention to the four threat sources that could easily kill the fighters. Those things were the mighty claws and ear-piercing roar of the lion's head, the two heads of the ice and fire snake, and the razor-sharp stinger's tail.
Third. Prioritize beheading the goat head.
The goat head of the Chimera had the special ability to swiftly regenerate all wounds suffered and received by all other parts of the body. Hence, it was of the highest priority to remove this head from the board.
With all of this valuable information in his mind, Alex proceeded to make a plan and explain it to others before the expedition began. He then assigned the fighters with the highest physical strength to pull the chain and held the lion's jaw, preventing it from using its [Lion's Roar], while the other fighters would attack the two snake heads and hold the Chimera's tail.
Everything had gone according to the plan. But unexpectedly, right at the critical moment before they cut off the goat head, the Heavenly Gate fighters moved out of the plan and betrayed them. Those five people in red robes attacked the fighters who were near the goat head, causing them to be distracted, while the 4 other people attacked Arief.
”Arief!” screamed the others when they realized the situation..
The attack of the five people at first glance looked like they were aimed at the goat head, but they were actually aimed at Jerry and the others, forcing them to dodge and thwart their strikes on the goat head.
Meanwhile, on Arief's side, one of the four people who attacked him managed to sink his sword at his back. However, they all managed to land their blows on the colonel, Alex not sure how many times the colonel armor could hold the attack when a loud sound suddenly resounded and the head of one of the red robed men burst like a watermelon.
When the three other attackers were startled by the sudden death of their companion, five short swords could be seen flying violently at the group. Two people were stabbed by the flying swords in the head and chest, while the last one who managed to recover himself was able to ward off the attack.
The source of the loud explosion's sound and the one that popped one of those bastard heads obviously came from Aria, who aimed and fired her rifle from afar, while the five swords came from Theo's signature sword formation attack.
Theo, who was still livid when he saw the actions of the Heavenly Gate people, immediately catched up with Alex, who now heaved a sigh of relief and said, ”I'm really sorry, Alex. You've told me to watch their actions closely, but I wasn't fast enough and let you down.”
Shaking his head at one of his closest friend's words, Alex said, ”Let's just make sure nothing happened to Arief.” Hearing that, Theo nodded and followed Alex, who was approaching Arief.
