A ball of fire

Rakahn pushed forward, he swung his swords towards the neck of a monster, his blade felt no resistance and sumptuously sliced ​​off the creature's head.

[You killed a Variant:Red Titrius monster.]

[ You received…]

As the voice of the announcement whispered in his ear, the creature's head rolled violently on the ground, Rakahn didn't care – he had better things to do –

Depending on another person's point of view, the person in question might think that Rakahn just felled this creature with a single blow, when he had struggled to land even a single blow he a few minutes ago. The creature was a hybrid of a monkey, a lizard and an anthill; it used its long claws to attack, leaving Rakahn with nasty gashes on his body.

Without taking the slightest pause Rakahn lunged at another creature that was nearby, this time the creature did not resist and painfully accepted its death. The sounds of his sword cutting through the creature's chest echoed with a dull thud.

Quickly withdrawing his sword, he tumbled backwards, narrowly dodging a stone club that a lizardman threw over his face.

"Damn, so close!!"

Rakahn turned his face, he met the reptilian eyes of the creature, giving him a look filled with anger and hatred, he returned his hateful gaze while trying to contain his anger.

He took a step, then two, he completely strengthened his body and rushed towards the creature with the reptilian head, augmenting his entire body with his skill, his steps were so heavy that it made the ground beneath his feet tremble.

CLANG!

His twin swords crossed the creature's stone club, resonating with a sharp sound. Rakahn used his variant skill "Mass Control" to make his body several times heavier as the creature was forced to bend its knees from the force of the impact.

The creature made a mistake, he only focused on Rakahn and Dahlia because he considered them "strong", they were at his level, they were "variant monsters"–although newly born–they were quite strong but the creature made this mistake of underestimating the others who accompanied them.

Maybe out of pride? Or was it through his simple stupidity?, these creatures are generally known to fear the strong and despise the weak, anyone who was not equal or superior to them was not worth it, everything was just food they should feast on.

But this state of mind will be his downfall, because these prey have long sworn to become predators themselves.

With a sharp sound, the creature's leg was broken under the impact of a blow from Yadha's club, causing the creature to lose its balance as it lurched backwards. savagely slashes his saber into the back of the cornered creature.

For a few seconds the creature limped, but a moment later it stiffened until it completely became cold and calm.

The creature was indeed dead.

Rakahn looked away, he saw that the soldiers had all already evacuated, leaving them alone inside the wall with the creatures, He waved a hand to his comrades and they retreated.

Quickly, they scampered to the other end of the wall, the creatures followed them without further delay, their murderous intentions were almost palpable, they rushed at them with such greed that they did not consider for a single second that they will be trapped.

Once they were all inside the large wall, they suddenly felt the air heat up at a crazy speed, those they were supposed to be chasing, quickly disappeared before their eyes.

Great panic ran through the crowd when they saw above their heads a ball of fire several meters wide was hurtling towards them.

They tried to break the walls but the walls became strangely strong that they resisted their blow. Among them were those who attempted to jump over the wall but were generously speared by the elite archers of the Ibara clan.

Among the monsters there were mages, they desperately conjured their spells to counter their attacks but nothing worked. It seems that an entity more sensitive to mana than them had taken control of the ambient mana.

Which prevented them from forming a spell and which left them defenseless to wait quietly for their death.

They raised their heads in the air, the ball of fire burned with all its splendor in the sky, these creatures who have always fought against each other for territories, prey and for honor. Now as one in the face of death, they no longer had any possible escape.

The fireball fell on them, exploding with a thunderous noise that shook both the ground and the air itself. She took with her the miserable lives of these hideous creatures.
