Mark was confused at himself and his current actions.
he barely even knew Silk yet now here he was trying to get revenge.
Mark charged forward like a tank as he roared.
The bug man laughed crazily at this then when Mark was about to reach him, the bug man disappeared before Mark felt a sharp pain in his left side that continued through to the right as a long blade stabbed him the culprit was a person wearing some kind of armor that reminded him of a samurai that quickly gave him a kick afterward as the blade was pulled out brutally with a twisting motion.
The sudden damage made him fall to a knee before retaliating with his tail that was skillfully blocked as the warrior stayed on their feet before getting into a stance before a current traveled through his system, as a robed figure with the said person's features hidden by a cowl was holding two spheres of lightning letting him know who sent the attack!
Just as he was getting to his feet in fury the loud sound of metal was heard as he felt weightless, only to notice a large man covered in so much armor leaving gaps only for his eyes wielding a heavy rectangle-shaped shield and a large hammer.
Upon landing on the ground, the lightning user threw the two spheres that hit Mark causing him to shudder from the current then when it stopped a blade happened to suddenly appear in front of his left eye to which he barely avoided!
The samurai clicked his tongue as his blade screeched loudly from Mark's armor and the blade grinding against each other.
He retreated before preparing another attack as the heavily armored person released a grunt before using his large shield that smacked Mark earlier to cover his frame as he attempted to collide with Mark again.
The Samurai spoke with a high pitched voice revealing the gender of the person.
"Tch, Fallion, are you sure this monster is really related to the bone fiend? this beast is fucking weak!"
Who apparently had quite the mouth on her.
The robed man replied as he prepared more floating spheres in a deep voice that quite a bit of energy in it revealing that it was a man under that outfit about middle-aged or so judging from the voice and hands that controlled the magic spells.
"Never underestimate a monster, Lady Yuki, it may seem weak now but those of the bone fiends are said to be adapting predators the longer the fight goes on, So I'm taking it out now before it learns our moves!"
The armored man was about to reach Mark hoping to scare him to the side or into the air as the man began wildly swinging his hammer in a threatening manner like how a regular monster would've reacted.
But Mark's next reaction was unfathomable as he stood his ground receiving the full attack with his injured body as they could hear the sound of teeth grinding as He endured the pain as his tail helped him stay his ground before the sound of metal being crushed could be heard.
Mark made full use of his strength crushing the large shield through the middle narrowly scratching the owner as his claws made it look like the helmet had whisker designs on it now.
Mark then ripped the shield in two before throwing them at two specific people the mage that wanted to finish this quickly busy preparing his spells and the armored man that was hindered by his armor rendering him unable to move fast enough.
two sounds followed.
or correction three.
The armored man grunted in pain as the half shield embedded itself into the torso section of his armor as he was forced to the ground and slide backward for a few seconds from the power behind the throw, as for the mage... he was turned into a bloody mist unable to show his full prowess, while the samurai screamed in anger for what happened.
"you damned monster I'm gonna kill you!"
He growled towards her direction before the woman moved in a swift motion that was hard to see before her blade managed to stab Mark through his mouth taking full advantage of the slight opening to try and end him right then and there but he moved his head to the side instinctively.
Leaving a brutal cut as Yuki's sword moved like a drill tearing through one side of his face.
Just when the woman was trying to retreat Mark's tail curled around her before she maneuvered her body in a flexible manner leaving only a small hole in her forearm armor when the tail nearly coiled around her.
She was getting ready to attack again but Yuki's sight blurred a bit as her strength was diminishing for some odd reason, forcing her to fall to her knees as she cursed from figuring out what it could be.
"FUCK, THIS MONSTER ACTUALLY HAD FUCKING POISON!"
Mark was feeling proud at this as he made big strides towards the woman wanted to squash her before looking for the bug bastard.
But things weren't going according to plan, as a flash of light suddenly appeared before a familiar surge of lightning struck his body, before an armored man shoulder tackled him away from Yuki.
Mark was surprised, as he wondered how the fuck did they recover so quickly, hell the mage guy was turned into a bloody mist yet he was back unharmed releasing a few more spheres of lightning.
Yuki was the one that answered his questioning thoughts.
"Damn, I nearly got killed again, seriously that damned priestess needs to step up her game or we'll all die completely one of these days!"
The armored man was rotating his shoulder that struck mark as some of his spikes punctured through the armor making it look like a bloody beehive before reprimanding her with a deep husky voice that made Yuki shrug off all the words said.
"Yuki, you shouldn't talk about that while fighting, by giving our enemy information can get us all killed regardless of whether the priest fast or slow!"
Yuki rolled her eyes as a green light enveloped her helping the woman regain her strength before snapping at her reprimanding savior as she got to her feet.
"OH Lay off, you moving trash can!"
Mark was struggling to move before noticing that his magic resistance skill was available for leveling up so he did with the other skills which helped him recover from the current that traveled through his being.
The armored man stepped in front of Mark before using his skill called "Zone of control" it was the best skill to have with taunt making it impossible for Mark to attack the others at least until he takes care of the tank there was another issue though.
with all of the noise that they were making they had attracted a good number of monsters which were as follows.
278 goblin from the burrow around.
455 orcs from ALL of the camps.
170 Ogres that responded to the calls of the elderly ogre that stalked Mark as they were very similar to a Mafia even if they were from different tribes meaning there will be more should they stay there for too long.
There was one thing that the other races had forgotten about this forest and why it was overrun by all sorts of monsters...
The term that can be used for this forest is 'Monster Haven' to put it in simpler terms it was the monster's breeding grounds that they'd go as far as join together and get rid of intruders, as foreign monsters are included if the said monster was too weak.
So right now the 'intruders' within their forest had attracted the whole forest as hundreds of pairs of eyes were glaring at them hungrily, as Mark's recent actions alerted them thus they had a few days to gather their groups.
Now the situation was less than ideal as the adventurers that were hunting Mark may be pseudo immortals this was still something they'd rather not experience before a low howl was heard that was quickly followed by growls, roars, whatever you what to call it as the monsters all attacked as one!
