CHAPTER 847: CHAPTER 659: NOT HUMAN? (PART 2)

By this grace, Grace has become the strongest dwarf in the entire Orario, purely in terms of "strength" and "endurance" capabilities, may not even measure up to the city’s only Lv.7.

Once he stands on the frontline, becoming a meat shield, even if Revilia, the city’s strongest Magic Guide’s area-disappearance magic directly blasts him, he might be able to withstand it.

However, even someone like Grace cannot possess that level of "endurance" capability.

This is not a matter of the same domain or comparable things.

"Her layer of skin, even compared to the black rhinoceros on the 51st floor, might not be much inferior."

Reiger calmly said this in front of everyone.

"Plus, her attack style brimming with wildness, this is simply not like a human, more like a monster from the underground city."

This is why Reiger calls her a female monster.

"In the end, she can punch magic, only my magic directly hitting her resulted in a hand turning all bloody, which is already enough to show her extraordinary nature."

Ignoring the gasps from people around, Reiger spoke lightly.

"Perhaps, I shouldn’t compete with her physical strength in my current state."

Without a doubt, Reveis’ "strength" and "endurance" are far above Reiger at the moment.

However, in "dexterity" and "agility", Reiger surpasses her instead.

Coupled with advantages like skills, experience, Reiger can fight evenly against Reveis who is equivalent to Lv.6 in the Lv.5 state.

If magic abilities are taken into account, Reiger has an absolute upper hand.

Of course, Asafi and others who did not know Reiger’s calculations looked at him in suspicion and uncertainty.

"If she’s not human, then what is she?"

Asafi asked this question without getting an answer.

"Boom!"

As if unable to tolerate people commenting on her in front of her, the red-haired female monster shook off the rubble covering her, causing an explosion, blowing away all the fragments and debris.

"...I see, that white-haired bastard wasn’t wrong either, the little girl swordsman is equally troublesome."

Reveis emerged, covered in blood, from the rubble, though missing an arm and covered in sword wounds, her movements were unaffected.

"To suddenly encounter two such troublesome adventurers, seems like the situation is unfavorable for me."

The female monster roughly wiped away the blood on her face, her green eyes staring intently at Reiger and Ais, and the Hermes Clan members next to her inadvertently felt a chill run through them.

"There’s no choice, retreat."

Smoke began to emerge from her wounds, and magic residue particles floated around her as Reveis allowed her body to self-repair, turned around, and started running back the way she came.

"Wait...!"

Ais was startled.

"Stop!"

Asafi and others instinctively shouted.

Reiger’s eyes flashed, his foot stepped hard, and he sped toward Reveis.

"Man-eating flower!"

Reveis coldly shouted without turning her head, causing the flesh walls around to writhe wildly.

"Boom!"

A man-eating flower monster broke through the ground’s flesh wall, emerging out.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"......

Before long, one after another man-eating flower monsters emerged from the ground, walls, ceiling, appearing before Reiger and the others.

"\"\"\"\"\"Roar oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh —!\"\"\"\"\"

The blaring roar turned into sound waves, shaking the entire green passage, causing the ceiling to crumble, dropping numerous stones and dust.

"Still more...!?"

Asafi exclaimed.

"So many...!"

Led by a dog-girl, the Hermes Clan members also cried out mournfully.

"Reiger!"

Ais wholeheartedly chased after Reiger.

Because Reiger, just like at the beginning, completely ignored the man-eating flower monsters and directly charged into the group of monsters, seemingly ready to repeat the same tactics to break through and catch up with Reveis.

The man-eating flower monsters reacted fiercely, constantly lunging and biting at Reiger, swinging their tentacles to strike him, but Reiger skillfully and swiftly avoided them.

He sometimes leaped, stepping on the bodies of the man-eating flower monsters and running on them, sometimes dodging left and right to evade the incoming tentacles that were as numerous as raindrops, and when unable to dodge, he would slash them with his sword without losing any speed, continuing to pursue in Reveis’s direction.

"[Arrows of liberated light, bowstring of sacred wood, I am the master of the bow.]"

Soon, the sound of chanting magic emerged from Reiger’s mouth as he performed acrobatic feats.

The voice was calm and solemn.

"Go forth!"

Sensing the threat from behind, Reveis spoke without changing her expression.

"Now it’s your time to act!"

At these words, Ais and the others, who were directly engaged in close combat with the army of man-eating flower monsters chasing behind Reiger, immediately noticed.

"Above!"

Ais warned.

But before that, Reiger had already sensed it, raised his head, and looked upward.

There, figures were clinging to the fleshy walls. As Reiger charged forward, they leaped down to block his path.

The figures were people dressed in robes, exuding a strange aura.

"There... there are actually so many people here?"

Asafi was startled, not expecting there to be so many helpers on the enemy’s side.

"They..."

Ais noticed the strange atmosphere these people emitted, feeling a sharp pain in her head.

She knew these people.

No, she knew of a group of people who exuded such an atmosphere.

They were figures that lingered on the edge of Ais’s memory, having once left a deep impression on her but were forgotten over time, left in a corner of her brain.

But before Ais could recall the origins of this group, Reiger acted first.

"Wind Breathing·Second Form·Claw·Kohu Wind!"

Without hesitation, he slashed out four claw-shaped wind blades, letting the wind slashes speed out, tearing through countless tentacles and several man-eating flower monsters blocking the way, aiming at the group of robed people.

Surprisingly, before Reiger’s sword attack, this group of robed people charged out together, rushing toward Reiger.

Their speed was not fast, and their abilities were not strong, indicating they were not high-level adventurers.

Yet the aura and momentum they emitted were quite grand, as if they were soldiers ready to sacrifice themselves heroically, directly opening their arms, defenseless, lunging toward Reiger.

"Boom!"

The wind blades Reiger slashed landed precisely on the path the group of robed people had to take, stirring up winds and impacts, blowing them all away.

And at that very moment...

"God, accept my sacrifice..."

"Please guide us, the ignorant, to the other shore..."

"Let us reunite with our beloved..."

"Oh God..."

"Oh God..."

Accompanied by such murmurs, flames ignited on the bodies of these robed people.

"Boom!"

The next second, a robed person exploded on the spot, blossoming into a fiery red flower as they were blown away.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

Like a chain reaction, one robed person after another exploded in mid-air as they were blown away, as if they had bombs strapped to their bodies, with their fuses lit in advance, ready for a countdown, triggering one magnificent explosion after another amidst the rumbling sounds.

The explosive flames consumed their bodies and spread, engulfing the man-eating flowers and the advancing figure of Reiger.

The green passage was instantly dyed a fiery red.

Magnificent, yet sorrowful.
