Chapter 312 - Salvation (2/2)

Evan remembered Rave's words about how to tame the beast, <If I fight the beast in a fair fight and show it my intentions and defeat it, it will obey me. That shouldn't be a problem, but I need to find someone suitable and reliable. Moreover, he must not attack me first>.

Roooooooar!

Suddenly Evan heard the roar of a beast coming from the east side of the Glass Forest. Evan didn't know what was going on there, but he decided to go and scout out the situation. But, before he did, he decided to draw the Demon's Sigil on his hand. This forest was dangerous, and he had to be ready for anything.

Evan ran towards the sound and, a minute later, reached the scene. He saw an amazing scene, several bug-like monsters with rainbow chitin attacking a serpent with thick crystal armor.

<Hmm, the Glass Forest also affects the monsters and beasts that inhabit it. Those beetles and the snake, and that eagle all have crystal armor.> Evan thought.

The bugs attacked the kite, but their opponent was not easy. Even though the snake was outnumbered, it had no problem fighting off the monsters. Moreover, in front of Evan, the snake opened its mouth wide and swallowed three bugs at once. Its muscles began to contract, and there was a loud cracking and popping sound.

Evan thought that that would be the end of it, and the bugs would run away in fear, or the snake would eat them too. But, suddenly, he heard a loud buzzing of insects. Evan turned toward the sound and saw hundreds of iridescent dots flying toward him.

<Do they have a whole swarm here?!> Exclaimed Evan to himself.

He wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible, but suddenly dozens of bugs attacked him as well. The Rainbow Bugs was going to kill the snake and Evan.

Evan didn't expect something like this, but he knew he had no choice but to fight. He armed himself with Magma Blood, and the blade of the weapon was instantly covered in a layer of darkness.

Bam. Bam. Bam.

He fought off several bugs at once, but he kept missing blows. The beetles' chitin was very strong and thick. Even considering Magma Blood was a 5-star weapon, Evan took several hits to kill one bug.

Evan had only recently entered the stage - Two-Pointed Star and had yet to learn any level 2 spells. So, it was incredible that he could kill defensive type monsters so easily, but that didn't make the situation any better.

In a few seconds, Evan had already received many small wounds. At that moment, he thought, <Damn, if this keeps up, I might as well die. I prepared Sigil too weak a demon. I need to use the strength of someone stronger.. But, these bugs don't give me a second's respite.>
