Breaking The Record

'He's amazing!'

As Britta finished off the third A-Tier Monster, feeling the obvious strain on her body, she glanced in the direction of the man who occupied her mind.

Jet was a streak of purple lightning, impossible to even keep track of. He simply dashed or glided in the air, slaying Monsters like they were nothing.

As Britta saw him slay another Monster, her heart leaped in awe.

'How many has he killed now? Fifteen maybe? I've lost count…' She found herself gawking at his majesty.

Sure, the A-Tier Monsters were being constrained by Magic, but that didn't mean all their movements were completely sealed.

No A-Tier Skill or Spell could ever do something as absurd as completely stopping so many Monsters.

'Still… that Lux lady is impressive.'

The A-Tier Monsters had lost pretty much most of their mobility, so other than a few jabs here and there, and the activation of their assault or defensive Skills, they didn't cause a lot of trouble.

'I can only imagine how difficult it would have been if that wasn't the case.'

Jet and Lux were exceptional—the most exceptional Adventurers she had ever had the privilege of setting her eyes on.

She had seen the Guildmaster in action only once, but even he didn't compare to these two—no, even just Jet.

Then, what of the other Heroic Rank Adventurer? She wasn't sure how strong he was since he never displayed his full power, even when he passed the Test.

Britta never expected much from him, though, considering how young he was. But, if these two could surprise her so much, she was beginning to rethink her previous assessment of the lad.

No, that wasn't the only thing she was rethinking.

Britta's entire worldview had already begun to crumble, and it was because of the current experience she was having.

"GROOUAAAHHHH!" A Monster's voice echoed in the air as it used its Skill to fire an extremely potent ray in her direction.

She dodged it pretty easily, though.

'My [Greater Full Sense] won't let you catch me off guard, you know?" She yelled, instantly charging towards the horrid creature.

Tightly gripping her blade as she neared it, her two other B-Tier Skills, [Greater Full Slash] and [Mortal Enlightenment], were already functional.

The former allowed her to generate a force of up to 300 percent more than her initial strike. That meant she could slice up opponents a lot stronger than her, as well as deal three strikes in the place of just one.

[Mortal Enlightenment] raised her Stats to an incredible degree, which made her superhuman in all regards. Adding that to the former made her capable of so much more than your run-of-the-mill Adventurer.

[Greater Full Sense] was her third B-Tier Skill, and it essentially allowed her to perfectly locate and detect anything within her range. She could focus this sense on one or multiple targets to get a much more accurate read.

As for her C-Tier Skill, it was [Night Vision], which allowed her to see incredibly well in the dark—not that it mattered in such a situation.

Thankfully, her B-Tier Class [Elite Swordsman] gave her a solid boost with the blade, and her Items helped her with the Mana Consumption.

All of these factors helped her to stand toe to toe with A-Tier Monsters without being inferior to them.

Still, compared to the likes of Jet and Lux, she was severely lacking.

"Hiyaaaa!"

She sliced off the arm of the Monster that fired at her, reveling in its screams as she went for its tendons and swiftly got rid of them.

The creature collapsed, becoming more vulnerable to the constraints that held it down.

"Eat Thissss!" She screamed, jumping to its neck as she exerted the full force of her [Greater Full Slash] on the nape of the colossal creature.

In that instant, three slices went through the Monster's neck, nearly severing the head from the rest of its body.

Still, with over half of the line cut, the thing had passed the point of recovery.

Death was certain.

~THUD!~

Once the Monster collapsed, Britta felt a wave of ecstasy wash over her.

Right there and then, she had surpassed her limits and broken her record of the most A-Tier Monsters that she killed in a single day.

'The highest record was held by Jet Zephyr, but I can guess that it has already been cleared.'

The greatest Adventurer in the history of the Adventurers City once took on an entire Dungeon Floor by himself due to the unexpected injuries of his Party Members.

They were ambushed by Monsters far stronger than they imagined, and a total of five A-Tier Monsters faced the weakened Party at the same time.

Death would have been the only natural conclusion, but Jet Zephyr did not allow it.

He alone fought and killed all five A-Tier Monsters, saving all the injured comrades that could only watch the entire scene in awe.

None of his Party Members died that day, and after killing the Monsters, he guided everyone back to the surface so they could be treated.

'Adding the number of A-Tier Bosses he killed prior to that encounter, Jet Zephyr's record for a day is about twelve.'

As Britta looked at Jet, she could see at least twenty-five corpses already at his feet.

He was done with all the Monsters on his end.

'Over two times the previous record, huh?' A broad smile coursed through her face as she nodded.

'Looks like you are one step closer to achieving your dream… Jet.'

~BOOOOOM!~

A sudden eruption rushed from behind Britta, coupled with the enraged roar of the last set of Monsters that swiftly surrounded her.

'W-what?!' Her eyes widened as she noticed a stark difference between the creatures that closed in on her and the ones she had beaten not too long ago.

'The Constraints… they're gone!'

Her eyes darted towards Lux, and the girl was kneeling while clutching her chest.

'She's out of Mana! Shit!' Britta's thoughts rose as her heart raced intensely.

Without anything holding them back, she was no match for so many Monsters charging towards her at the same time.

'I-is this… the end?!'
