"Damn it! If you all want to fight, then do it right and stop forcing me to play the damn hero," Grey growled, lightning crackling fiercely around his clenched fists as he gripped the Bone Crusher's tail without flinching. The beast snarled and thrashed, trying to rip its tail free, but it was completely stuck—as if caught in a vice grip forged by a god. Beside it, the remaining beasts prepared to lunge, while farther back, the boss creature began to shrug off the lingering stun effect of Grey's earlier lightning strike. "I don't have time for this," Grey muttered coldly. With a sudden heave, he swung the massive Bone Crusher like a ragdoll, spinning it with terrifying force before slamming it into the other four beasts. The impact cracked the earth and sent them flying in different directions like broken toys. Still gripping the dazed creature's tail, Grey raised it high and smashed it headfirst into the ground. The sound of skull meeting stone echoed across the battlefield. Blood splattered. The creature twitched once, then went still—its thick skull shattered like glass. Ten more Bone Crushers came charging with bone-rattling fury. But Grey simply lifted his hand, and wind surged around it in a growing vortex. A massive, condensed horizontal slash of air formed—shimmering like a blade forged from the sky itself. With a swift sweep of his arm, the blade surged forward. In less than a second, it cleaved through the onrushing beasts, tearing them apart mid-charge.

Limbs and torsos flew in different directions, their pieces thudding grotesquely onto the cracked earth. Silence fell. The remaining monsters, once brimming with confidence, backed away in fear. They no longer dared to confront him. And if they could speak, their words would be the same: "A monster walks among us." "Ugh..." A soft groan broke the stillness. Grey glanced down to see Greg twitching beneath his feet, slowly regaining consciousness. "Well, well... The weakling awakens from his beauty sleep," Grey remarked dryly. Greg's eyes snapped open, his gaze meeting Grey's as he took in the bloody remains of shattered beasts and scorched earth around them. One beast lay with its head caved in; others were torn limb from limb. The very ground looked like it had been clawed open by a titan. "Because of your sorry ass, I had to come down here and clean up your mess," Grey muttered with a sigh. "Like I needed your help," Greg snapped—only to spot, from the corner of his eye, a Bone Crusher lunging toward Grey from behind. Before he could react or summon a single bolt, a sharp wind blade sliced through the air and impaled the beast's skull. It collapsed with a lifeless thud. "You were saying?" Grey asked without even glancing back. "Stop acting like you're better than me! You're a peasant. Know your place!" Greg snarled as he struggled to his feet, glaring at Grey. Grey smirked, about to reply—when a deep, guttural roar echoed from behind. He turned just in time to see the boss beast stirring. "I'll be right back," he said calmly, and with a sonic boom, vanished in a blur, kicking up a wave of dust into Greg's face. "Show-off," Greg muttered, then turned to scan the battlefield. 'But with him coming here for a short moment, he has managed to obliterate a dozen beasts. How does he keep doing it?' Across the field, Raze and Vince fought side by side, facing down two aggressive Bone Crushers. With a sharp clap, a volley of metallic bullets fired from Vince's gauntlet, smashing into one of the beasts and sending it skidding backward. Raze leapt into the air with a massive metal sword, bringing it down like thunder and cleaving through the creature's skull. The second beast lunged toward Raze, its muscular tail ready to crush. But Vince stepped in, battered and bleeding, his metal shield raised just in time to absorb the blow. The impact echoed like a gong, and blood trickled from his mouth. "Do something already!" Vince grunted as the beast's tail swung again. "On it... but this will drain me completely," Raze warned, the air around him growing dense with power. "Just do it!" Vince shouted as the shield cracked under pressure. With a final tail strike, the shield shattered, and Vince was sent flying. "Here it goes!" Raze roared. A colossal sword—eight meters long—materialized in the air above the beast. Blood poured from Raze's nose and mouth as he forced the spell into existence. With a snap of his fingers, the sword plunged downward, bisecting the beast with brutal finality. As it collapsed, so did Raze, his mana core depleted. Vince rushed over just in time to catch him. "How'd you pull that off? Your Copy Magic shouldn't let you cast more than I can… and I can't do that," Vince said, panting. "If I did it, it means you can. You're just scratching the surface. Dig deeper," Raze replied, turning to look at the others still fighting. Jay danced between enemies with two water blades in hand, his movements ragged but calculated. Though his body bore injuries, he avoided every strike aimed at his vitals, exchanging pain for precision. For every blow he received, the beasts paid double. A tail slammed the ground beside him, fracturing it. Jay flicked his fingers, launching a water orb that sent a beast skidding backward. He pivoted, slicing another beast's incoming tail with a clean, fluid motion. Then, with a sharp thrust, his water blade shot from his hand like a missile, bisecting a beast's skull. 'Damn. I'm running dry,' Jay thought, switching tactics and launching multiple water orbs. They hit their marks but lacked the power of his earlier strikes. A tail lashed toward his head. He ducked, only for another to strike him from below, smashing into his jaw. Blood exploded from his mouth as his head whipped back. "Damn it! Enough of playing around!" he roared, fury overtaking pain. "Water Creation Magic—Serpent of the Sea!" A towering serpent of pure water erupted from the earth, its fangs slicing through everything in its path. The watery beast tore into six Bone Crushers before vanishing into mist. Jay dropped to one knee, coughing blood, his body trembling. "That... was draining," he muttered, eyes scanning the field. Over half the beasts were now dead, but more than twenty still remained. Scarlet was the next most devastating force on the field. Her Fire Creation Magic had taken the form of a majestic dragon hovering above her. It rained hellfire upon the beasts—blasts of flame and explosive fireballs that reduced everything they touched to ash. Still, the sheer number of enemies surrounding her was daunting—until a loud voice pierced the chaos. "Hey, Scar! Time for a big one!" "What the hell? Who said you could shorten my name?!" she snapped, turning to see Greg—lightning coursing around him, his expression deadly serious. "No time for drama. Let's pour everything into one massive spell," Greg said. The lightning around him condensed into a growing ball above his head, sparking and surging with energy. "Fine," Scarlet gritted out, focusing as a massive fireball began to form above her. Her flaming dragon flickered in and out of existence as she funneled all her mana into the spell. The remaining beasts charged, tails raised, teeth bared. The duo stood unmoving. Just before impact, a transparent shield shimmered into existence, absorbing the brutal assault—and shattering instantly. "Now!" Scarlet yelled. Both spells launched with thunderous force—flames and lightning combining midair into a storm of destruction. The explosion consumed the last wave of Bone Crushers, electrocuting and incinerating them until not even ash remained. The scorched earth beneath them sizzled. Both Greg and Scarlet dropped to their knees, gasping for breath. But their brief moment of relief was shattered by a sudden shockwave that rippled across the battlefield, nearly lifting them off the ground. All eyes turned toward the source. At the center of the chaos stood Grey, locked in a furious clash with the Boss Beast—each blow shaking the world around them. The battle... wasn't over yet. __ {A/N} So sad???? we were unable to meet any of our target for this week so no extra chapters ????I just hope we can meet next week's target which would be communicated to you all tomorrow.
