14 End of monitoring (1/2)

Zatiel was getting deeper into the Endless Forest, heading in the direction where his mission takes place and as he was advancing through the trees he looked back.

´The strongest ones are after me, good, the rest won't be a problem for little EZ, still, I must say they are really careful.´

Zatiel could fell that the number of people who were following him has diminished, but the overall strength has not.

´They are constantly using spells to hide from me, the one they call Arthur is a cautious person, but doesn't matter, sooner or later they will reveal themself, ´ Zatiel though with a calm face, not concerned for the threat that the group could present to him.

As Zatiel was advancing he was making sure no to draw attention from the magical creatures that make their lair in this place, the ones that find themself in this area have barely the power equal to a rank 2 apprentice and could not contribute in anything to Zatiel, except a waste of time.

Even though he will only be acting in the periphery of the forest, this one cover thousand of kilometers, after all the Endless Forest in his entirely covers hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

´With my current speed it will take me around five days to arrive at the mission zone, I will take to opportunity to practice my spells.´

As he was advancing chains materialized around him only to disappear in the next second, although abyssal chains where an extremely complex spell to master, as a Neo-Demon, Zatiel talent was amazing so he was increasing his proficiency with every minute.

After a couple hours stronger magical creatures started to show up, most of them with a strength rivaling rank 3 apprentices. As Zatiel was advancing he found himself before an Earth Rhino, this was a 3-meter tall creature with earth like armor covering his body and a weight bordering a ton, although this creature was not able to use any type of spell it has amazing strength and his resistance was incredible.

´This beast is extremely resistant to physical damage, so It is a good target to trie the might of Abyssal Chains.´

Zatiel remained before the creature without taking his sword or adopting a fighting stance. The Earth Rino detected Zatiel and started to roar in his direction, trying to intimidate him and making him leave, even though the beast will normally attack at anyone that dares to cross into his territory, he as already developed an intellect not inferior to that of a normal person, letting him know that something was off with the human in front of him, so instead of attacking blindly he tried to scare the individual and make him leave, but unfortunately for him the person didn't react to his intimidation.

Seeing as the human did not retire the rhino finally attacked, charging with immense strength in the direction of Zatiel.

As the rhino advanced, it carries so much power that the ground was cracking, proving the amazing strength that the creature was carrying in his charge.

Zatiel keeps himself immutable before the creature and when the rhino was barely 20 meters of him, his eyes got focused and his abyss aura burst, as 4 abyss chains appear around him, and with an incredible speed and precision they launch themself to the magical creature.

The Earth Rhino felt an immense threat when he saw those chains but he was charging with such strength and the chains were so fast that he could not dodge.

The chains rotated as the headed for the creature, one headed right to his throat incrusting itself around 50 centimeters inside the creature, and another crashed against his spine, although it didn't manage to enter too much it carried so much strength that managed to fracture the first vertebra.

Even though the chains hurt the beast it was not enough to prove a threat to his life, but it manages to momentarily paralyze the rhino head letting the other two chain attack.

Each of these chains headed for an ear, managing to pierce them and reaching the brain. The pain was so much that the beast gave a thunderous scream.

Even though the beast was done for, and his charge was diminishing his speed considerably it still manages to arrive before Zatiel with considerable momentum and although he could have easily dodged the now dying beast, he didn't moves.

´Let's see how strong my body is on his own.´

Adopting a posture and focusing all the power of his body into his fist, Zatiel lunched a punch with all his strength to the rhino head.

¡BOOOM!

A bang could be heard as they collide against each other, the impact was so much that Zatiel was thrown 6 meters before he could stabilize himself and as he did he could feel how his arm was shaking and his bones were cracking from the impact, as for the Earth Rhino an indentation with the form of a fist appear in his head, as it was thrown 3 meters before crashing into ground.
