Chapter 35: Mission E (3)

The "happy" Monsters are the most terrifying class in this area, ranging from maximum-bronze rank, and are sadistic and brutal by nature. They always hunt in groups, can blend into their surroundings, are nearly undetectable, with large bodies and small heads. Despite their speed not being ridiculously high, they are damn efficient hunting machines; they run too fast, and their agility is incredible. They are the dominant race in this area.

Running at full speed, my heart pounded with fear and excitement. I was eager to dive into battle against them, but I couldn't. I'm not alone in this place, and if I lose myself in my bloodlust, they will easily kill Elsa. Although she maintained a calm expression, I could see fear in her eyes.

They were following us and wouldn't stop until they caught up with us. I'm very clear about that. I'm just looking for a safe tree to throw Elsa onto and stay by the tree to start cutting heads.

We reached a kind of tightly packed trees, as if they were joined at their center. There was a small hole perfect for her. But I felt two presences behind the tree.

"You think you're clever, huh? HAHAHAHAHA, well, I like it that way," laughing like a madman, I quickly grip my sword tightly and perform a horizontal strike from my right forward. One was hiding in a corner; if it weren't for my keen senses, it would have caught us by surprise.

Boom! Slash!

With a quick movement, its head goes flying. I make a sharp turn to the other side, perform my footwork, and find myself behind the other.

Boom! Clank! Finishing him, splitting him in half, I see a small brown orb out of the corner of my eye. I also cut a piece of the tree; I have to say the wood is very resilient.

(+100 exp)

[100/40,000] Wait, shouldn't I get 200 experience? I mutter in amazement.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Listening to a few hysterical laughs,, they distract me from my thoughts. I look to where they are gathered around the corpse. I watch as they tear apart and destroy the body of one of the monsters and then take it to their mouths. The reason, well, they are fighting over the mana orb among themselves. A symphony of laughter is all that can be heard.

Snapping out of my stupor, I throw Elsa between the trees to keep her safer.

"Don't you dare leave that spot."

Nodding, I turn my gaze towards them. At the same time, they return my gaze, as if they feel that I'm watching them. Again, total silence, just like before this hell broke loose.

Gripping my sword with both hands, I run towards them. My blood couldn't take it anymore; I needed to bathe in the blood of my enemies.

[Ding! Mission Rank F]

[Description: Survive for the next 2 hours until dawn; a group of inferior creatures dares to stand in the way of the dragon.]

[Reward: Mana Orb Purification Skill]

[Description: Fallen into filth, their souls are corrupted with the greatest sins. Fallen into madness, their bodies are tainted with the greatest desires. This skill allows the host to purify their orbs to obtain 100% pure essence.]

"Excellent bastards. Not only do you help me get stronger, but also, thanks to you,I will have a useful skill."

"COME ON! Are we all going to laugh together? Are we going to have a lot of fun, huh, guys?"

Moving my feet incredibly fast, I disappear from my current position, directing my sword from below towards them, cutting them in half. I quickly turn my head to dodge claws as black as the night. I perform my footwork and reposition to the right. With a push on my right foot, I throw it towards them.

Bangggg! Boom!

With adrenaline rushing through my body, I move my sword masterfully. The monsters with their distorted smiles fall one by one. I don't stop, jumping from excitement from one position to another, as fast as they disappear. I move on all sides; there's no chance of them hurting me. I know what I'm doing; I trust myself. With a cool mind, I attack again.

Swoosh! Shah!

There's no time to hesitate in this situation; I have to keep my eyes wide open, looking everywhere, preparing for a surprise attack.

BOOM!

Looking at the small crater where an ice projectile was, I turn my head and see Elsa with determined eyes to help me. With a smile, I nod. If she could overcome her fear, everything will be fine.

Moving back, I dodge an attack from the front, counterattacking with a quick thrust. I stab it in the chest. Even though I keep killing, more and more come, they don't end.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, come on! Come on! We're just getting started."

With a big smile on my face, I perform my footwork again.

Clank! Grind!

Stopping my sword just in time, the creature goes flying from the impact. Although they are strong, they are nothing to worry about. In my eyes, I only see a bunch of experience points.

A gleam of madness appears in my eyes.

"This is fun."

I disappear from my position, and...

BOOOM! BOOM! Boom!

With an attack from the air, I descend with all my might, creating a large crater, killing a few more. With a circular motion, my sword shines with a dark flame, an aura. Come all who want, I will welcome you with a big smile on my face...

I'll welcome you to my bloody party.

We'll have fun together.

We'll kill each other.

But all for the sake of comedy, for laughs among us. We'll die with a big smile and go to hell together.

"HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH"

"COME ON! COME ON COME ON! COME TO MY BLOODY PARTY!"
