Qing Tian stood to the side on top of a tree. He looked down at the 12 people surrounding the dog-headed dragon before looking at the people surrounding the 12 people.
Who were these people? They were all from nearby shelters, people Qing Tian had gathered after posting on the threads of each shelter back in the Alliance. To inform everyone of a 'sacred-blood' creature that was currently weakened.
To have many people arrive and witness a creature stronger than a Sacred-Blood creature fight and show dangerous abilities.
They were the witnesses to his group's fight against the Super creatures, to reveal their existence to the world and as the first group to take down a dangerous Super creature.
Qing Tian already took a precaution and had set up some weak creatures to prevent the many groups of people from attacking right away. To have them first ascertain whether they are able to fight against the beast or not.
Watching from above with a smirk and a cold look on his face, Qing Tian just waited for the Super Group to take down the dog-headed dragon.
…
Moving in first, Queen and Tang Zhenliu took the agro of the dog-headed dragon.
Rapidly approaching the beast with their weapons, Queen attacked four heads by repeatedly attacking them with kicks. Tang Zhenliu on the other hand had begun to attack with his sword and deal minor damage to the faces of the three remaining dog-heads.
Once agro was taken care of, the rest moved forward and coordinated their attacks perfectly. With no need to move, Yang Manli, Lin Xue and Duan Lanying all attacked with two arrows each from afar.
In an instant, six arrows were launched and they managed to blind two heads.
Taking advantage of the two blind heads, Lin Feng moved forward and dealt a lot of damage to one head and barely any damage to the other head.
RAAAHH!!
The heavily damaged dog head roared in pain before spitting out fire from it's mouth and slightly burning Lin Feng. Before Lin Feng could burn even more, Ning Yue had arrived and provided support to Lin Feng before eventually cutting the head together.
With one head gone, the load on the Tanks was less.
Especially for Queen who had taken on four heads. It was easy for someone as skilled as Queen to even take on all heads, but she would be tired after just an hour of dodging with no chance to fight back.
She was barely able to launch a couple of attacks back, but thanks to the constant support of the three archers, Queen was able to launch more attacks at the four heads.
Appearing at her side was Qin Xuan and Han Sen who quickly made work of two heads. With the additional support of Ji Yanran and Qu Lili, the two heads were cut off in an instant,
At this point, only four heads remained and the dog-headed dragon began to feel that the situation was becoming dangerous for it. Gnashing it's bloodied teeth and fire seeping through it's teeth, the dog-headed dragon began to make use of it's tail and claws whilst simultaneously making use of it's fire breath attack,
With such a sudden attack, the tanks, the main force and support were damaged. With the constant attack of the fire, the archer group also took a bit of damage. Taking the chance, the archer group launched some arrows to the super creature, damaging it's mouth.
The archer group was damaged a bit, but they were able to stop the attacks of three heads by using one-time-use Sacred beast soul arrows.
Boom!
Three heads of the dog-headed dragon exploded and now one last head remained.
Grrr!!
The last head growled in anger and a burst of energy came from it's body.
It was the energy Qing Tian had last left within it's body. An energy that was pure and strong burst from the dog-headed dragon as the six headless necks merged into the last dog-headed dragon and it became stronger than before.
Tang Zhenliu noticed the increased strength as he braced himself for the slap be was about to receive from this chimera dog.
"Oh fu-!"
Bam!
Tang Zhenliu was slapped into Lin Feng and Han Sen, knocking all three out and into a tree. Their figures were bloodied and bones were surely broken, whether they were alive or not was unknown.
"Damn… don't falter!" yelled Qin Xuan as she received a fierce tail whip from the dog-headed dragon and made her slide back after she had reacted quickly and summoned a shield.
Crack!
The sacred-blood shield she had was strengthened by a beast soul add-on and a beast soul aura, allowing the shield to withstand the attack from the dog-headed dragon.
However, the strength of this dog-headed dragon was more than before, she had suffered and had a broken arm and some internal damage.
Cough!
Qin Xuan coughed up a bit of blood and retreated as Queen focused on distracting the dog-headed dragon with her kiting skills. It was working well until the dog-headed dragon began to get faster.
Just as she was about to be attacked, she was saved by the arrows from the archer group.
The relief was short-lived as the Super creature began ignoring Queen and headed to the annoying archer group.
Realizing the severity of the situation, the archer group unsummoned their bows and brought out their other weapons.
Qin Xuan also jumped back into the fight and the support group began to proactively fight as well. Queen moved quickly and caught up to the dog-headed dragon in an instant.
Moving quickly, they all attacked from different points and what they believed to be the weak spots of the dog-headed dragon.
Grau!
The dog-headed dragon began to grow annoyed as the wounds on it's body began to grow in number. Fire began to build up in the mouth of the dog-headed dragon, but more hot than before.
The previous yellow fire began to become intense before suddenly turning blue and letting it's flaming breath out.
Fwoosh!
The land was scorched and the nearby trees were turned into charcoal in an instant.
"Retreat!" Qin Xuan yelled as she helped everyone leave.
They all had suffered wounds and found it difficult to take down this Super creature that seemed to have suddenly received a boost in power.
"Not yet!"
"We can do it!"
Surprisingly, Yang Manli and Lin Xue still hadn't given up.
They both rushed the dog-headed dragon and moved to it's sides. Yang Manli brought back her bow and summoned an arrow in her hand. Lin Xue brought out a longsword and had a serious look in her eyes.
The dog-headed dragon turned to Yang Manli before and watched with it's dog eyes as something flew past it's floppy ears.
It was an arrow and it had completely missed!
The dog-headed dragon's eyes smiled as it continued to send an unrelenting flame breath to Yang Manli who was giving the dog-headed dragon a smirk.
Stab!
With it's attention robbed by Yang Manli, the dog-headed dragon felt a sharp pain in it's chest. It's eyes glanced downward and it caught sight of a woman stabbing into it's chest.
Lin Xue quickly pulled back the sword and stabbed it into the dog-headed dragon's leg, causing it to stumble.
The flame breath that was about to hit Yang Manli was instantly redirected into the air. The flame breath died out after it lost focus and it tried to focus on standing up now, but as it was getting up, an arrow fell onto it's head and pierced through it;s skull and hit the brain of the dog-headed dragon, killing it.
[Super creature Ritual Killer has been killed. Beast soul of Ritual Killer gained. Life Essence available. Meat Inedible.]
Everyone watched as the Ritual Killer dissipated into dust after giving it's last breath.
"Congrats," said Qing Tian as he appeared before everyone.
Groaning, everyone sat down on the ground to relax.
Chuckling a little, Qing Tian walked over to the three that were knocked out.
Separating them and laying down in a row, Qing Tian shook his head as Lin Feng and Tang Zhenliu had both died and Han Sen was on death's door.
Sighing, Qing Tian brought out a vial with green liquid in it. Dripping some droplets of the green liquid into the mouths of all three, Qing Tian watched as Tang Zhenliu and Lin Feng came back to life.
Their death-inducing wounds were healed already and their breathing had stabilized, the same thing was said about Han Sen who began to breathe more calmly.
Standing up, Qing Tian walked over to Yang Manli and smiled, "Congrats, you're the one that got the Last Hit."
Yang Manli smiled wryly before looking down at her fingers as she remembered the last arrow she shot.
Leaning in to Yang Manli's ears, Qing Tian whispered, "You've unlocked your Will. Now you just need to train it. Train your body and skills and you'll eventually become the next Legendary Archer."
'That's it! That must be what I had felt…'
Yang Manli thought as she remembered the feeling of something pouring out of her and into the arrow as she wished for her arrow to stab into the head of the dog-headed dragon.
…
Going to where the dog-headed dragon's body used to be, Qing Tian picked up what had been left behind, a red colored Life Essence.
He lifted his head and turned to look at the people still hiding in the forest with a smirk. Qing Tian noticed the looks of fear and astonishment on the faces of every single person that had previously surrounded the Super group.
Qing Tian pocketed the Life Essence and got Ning Yue to carry both Lin Feng and Tang Zhenliu before he went ahead to slap Han Sen awake.
Turning to Qin Xuan and Queen, Qing Tian smiled, "It's time to reveal to the world about the existence of Super creatures."
With the super creature killed, Qing Tian turned to Yang Manli and nodded.
With the signal, Yang Manli blushed and cursed in her heart.
'Damnit! Why do I have to do something embarrassing!'
Dropping to her knees, the Super group turned to look at Yang Manli with questioned looks.
"OH MY GOD! A SUPER CREATURE?!?! WHAT THE HELL'S A SUPER CREATURE!" yelled out Yang Manli astonished and with a scared face.
"W-what's wrong Manli?!" worriedly said Qin Xuan as she approached Yang Manli.
"Wh-what we defeated wasn't an abnormally strong Sacred-Blood creature! It was a SUPER CREATURE!"
With that, the entire surroundings turned quiet before the forest began to ruffle and the sound of footsteps began to slowly disappear.
Continuing the act, Yang Manli said, "Super creatures… there's something beyond Sacred-blood creatures! This changes everything!"
"A-are you telling the truth?!" asked Han Sen with wide eyes.
"Yes! L-Look!" Yang Manli said before summoning the beast soul of Ritual Killer.
Suddenly, the silhouette of the dog-headed dragon appeared behind Yang Manli in a red color as it began to strengthen the nearby beast souls that were summoned. They were all coated in a fiery aura that made them stronger than they already were.
"W-what is this!"
"My weapon! It's so strong now!"
Everyone said, honestly shocked by how strong their weapons have gotten just because of a single Aura Beast Soul of the Super rank.
The Sacred-blood beasts souls had become as strong and capable as a Super beast soul. That was how strong a Super Aura beast soul was.
With that, everyone else that wasn't in the Super Group had left and gone to spread the news inside the Alliance.
Just as Yang Manli was about to continue to act, Qing Tian lifted his hand and stopped her.
"Everyone left already," said Qing Tian with a smirk. He turned to everyone and couldn't help but laugh, "I'm really glad I had you all take acting classes. Just remembering Lin Feng's robotic voice made me laugh just now."
Everyone laughed and Yang Manli just blushed as she remembered her acting just a while ago. She felt so embarrassed as she acted shocked and yelled out loud.
'I'll never do this AGAIN!'
