Chapter 83: CH 83: Dave vs Mergers (Part 2)The mergers closed in on Dave, with the Rhicrobird leading the charge. Its powerful limbs propelled it forward, horn at the ready, as it bore down on its target. Just as it reached Dave’s position, the Rhicrobird flapped its massive wings, unleashing a whirlwind of dust and debris. The gust hit Dave with incredible force, but it was no ordinary wind – an invisible power coursed through the air, lifting him off his feet and sending him skidding backward. Dave crashed against a tree trunk, the impact jolting him. He’d been hurled a considerable distance from the factory entrance, yet his gaze remained fixed on the Rhicrobird, which was now stalking toward him with deadly intent. The creature’s horn gleamed menacingly as it advanced, its eyes fixed on Dave with an unyielding ferocity. Fortunately, Dave’s exceptional endurance had cushioned the impact, and he emerged unscathed from the Rhicrobird’s attack. For most people, the force of that assault would have been debilitating, perhaps even fatal. But Dave was no ordinary individual; his max-level endurance was a testament to his remarkable physical resilience. As he stood firm, rustling sounds emanated from the surrounding bushes, accompanied by low, ominous growls. However, Dave’s attention was fixed on the Rhicrobird, which had launched a follow-up attack. Enraged by Dave’s unexpected durability, the creature charged forward, its horn glinting in the light as it prepared to strike. Seeing how Dave was able to survive its first attack, it just went on to show just how much of a threat he was, and the Rhicrobird was ready to take him down in every way possible. As Dave got up from the tree where he had crashed into, he couldn’t help but watch as the Rhicrobird meandered its way again toward him. "All three of them, they were able to produce an unnatural kind of attack." Dave said, thinking about the Mergers’ acts so far. "The Rhicrobird can produce a strong wind energy by flapping its wings. The Spowlder is also capable of decapitating its victims using his large eyes and cob webs." "And also, the Calilar can produce a large thunderous roar, which causes a large shockwave attack to its victims." Dave said, analysing everything he has seen so far. "They might still have many other things they could do, but I think I’ve seen enough for now. So let’s just end this fight and move on to the next step." The Rhicrobird was already at his front with its horn ready to pierce through him. Then at the last moment, Dave had moved forward from his position, his hands grabbing onto the horns of the Rhicrobird as he stopped its advances. Despite the horn’s considerable size, Dave managed to grab hold, his grip firm as he brought the Rhicrobird’s momentum to an abrupt stop. The creature’s eyes widened in surprise, its body frozen in place as Dave maintained his hold on the horn. The two had instantly locked eyes, and for a moment, Dave and the Rhicrobird engaged in a fierce battle of strength, their muscles straining against each other. The standoff lasted several seconds until it became clear who possessed the superior force. Dave’s strength proved overwhelming, and the Rhicrobird was slowly pushed backward, its limbs unable to resist the pressure. Its feet dragged across the ground as Dave continued to advance forward as he pushed it. As they neared the factory entrance, Dave halted his push and drew back his fist. With a powerful punch, he struck the Rhicrobird’s face, sending it flying toward the entrance. The other two mergers standing nearby watched in awe as the Rhicrobird’s massive body flew past them, crashing into the group of untransformed mergers inside the factory. The impact was tremendous, with the Rhicrobird’s body landing on Jackie and several others. They were pinned beneath its weight, struggling to free themselves. Eventually, the Rhicrobird reverted to its human form, allowing the trapped individuals to extricate themselves from beneath its massive body. "What just happened? I thought we had him?" one of the members asked, confusion etched on his face as he lifted himself off the ground. He had suffered a little injury from the impact of the Rhicrobird, but he wasn’t the only one, as the others also seem to have been injured as well. However, before anyone could respond, or learn about what had just happened, something had happened, and the scene unfolding before them had left them all stunned. Outside the factory, after Dave had successfully dealt with the Rhicrobird, he turned toward the spot where he had been initially pushed by the Merger’s wings. And suddenly, about twenty beasts emerged from the shadows, their eyes fixed on Dave as they snarled and growled at him. Their appearance were distinctly like a real life wolf, but Dave knew they were all beasts. He just have to think of them as the advance form of them. "Alright lads, glad you came at the right time." Dave’s gaze swept over them as he activated his beast-taming ability and almost instantly, all twenty or so beasts had fell under his command. [-100 EP deducted from taming all twenty beasts] [Congratulations, your daily quest has been completed] [-100 EP deducted for controlling all twenty beasts] With a nod, Dave ordered the beasts to attack the group of mergers inside the factory. They sprang into action, dashing past the two mergers standing at the entrance. Dave intentionally chose not to task them with dealing with these two, as he have other plans in mind for them. Fun thing was that, these beasts were all Intermediates, which means they could possibly overwhelm the majority of the mergers that were inside, as long as they were merged to basic tier beasts. But even if they merged with intermediate tier beasts, Dave was sure that his tamed beasts could still take them down. As for the remaining Mergers left standing, Dave had summoned a Hybrid from the void space, as he ordered it to engage with them. With a smile, he observed the chaos he had set in motion. "Sometimes, it’s best to relax and just watch a fight play out. Well, let’s see how things unfold in the end." Dave said with a hint of amusement in his voice as he headed toward the factory.
