When everyone heard what Sera said, they were stunned and that included Cade. The grin from the emerald Boarman confirmed everything.
"That means, our mission to destroy the main core is defeating the emerald Boarman or the boss of this world dungeon," thought Cade while he looked at the emerald Boarman.
The purple aura emitted by him made everyone tense. They could feel the power the emerald Boarman possessed. Though it was quite similar to Ben's awakened bloodline aura, the emerald Boarman's aura felt much stronger.
No one knew how the aura worked because Ben kept it a secret but after meeting two individuals with the same bloodline, they could easily figure out or guess something.
First, a different person might have had different strengths of aura. Second, it was possible that they could strengthen their aura.
If the second guess was right, that meant the emerald Boarman had awakened much earlier compared to Ben and that meant he was much more used to the power and could control it well.
The emerald Boarman immediately took a fighting stance and launched himself forward so fast that he vanished. Suddenly, an explosion happened and everyone saw that Jonathan blocked the emerald Boarman with his shield.
"As I thought, you are good! You are not that strong but you have good perception and good defense," the emerald Boarman complimented Jonathan.
"I don't want to get compliments by my enemy," said Jonathan with a relaxed face. He did not look that tense blocking the attack from the emerald Boarman.
While they were talking, suddenly, a knife was on the emerald Boarman neck. The emerald Boarman was shocked that there was someone who was able to sneak behind him.
He immediately attacked behind him with his speed but no one was there and he shuddered. Jonathan saw his chance and he swung his greatsword at the emerald Boarman.
However, Jonathan was slowed and the emerald Boarman easily dodged the attack but suddenly the emerald Boarman was soon met with an ice arrow right at his face. Rico saw a chance and immediately shot that ice arrow.
The emerald Boarman's eyes were wide open and since he was off the ground, he could not evade the ice arrow. Rather than avoiding it, the emerald Boarman used his arm and block the arrow. He was fast and easily blocked the arrow.
To his surprise, the arrow exploded upon touch and froze everything in the 10 meters radius. The emerald Boarman was frozen by that attack but everyone knew at that moment that he was still alive.
Shihoon suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind the emerald Boarman with a knife in his hand. He immediately stabbed the emerald Boarman but to his surprise, the emerald Boarman vanished.
When they looked around, the emerald Boarman appeared further away from them gasping for breath but he could not rest when a huge fireball was shot right at him.
The emerald Boarman gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. He then blew the fireball with his breath. A strong wind came out of his mouth and destroyed the fireball and the wind was shot at Rico.
However, a blue armor appeared in front of Rico and blocked the strong wind. Jonathan was there with his high defense to block any attack coming at him.
To Jonathan, no one in the world dungeon was able to penetrate his high defense. He already had the path he wanted to follow and that was as an impenetrable tank. He fought many Boarman and he could confirm it himself that his defense was too high for them to break.
Even when he saw the emerald Boarman, he knew he could block most of the attack from the emerald Boarman.
After that attack from the emerald Boarman, the fight stopped for a bit. Everyone there was stunned and they did not know what had happened.
The fight that happened earlier was too fast for their eyes to follow and they were clueless as to what had happened. However, they knew immediately that Rico, Jonathan, Shihoon, and Sera were on a completely different level.
"I can't see anything. They are an elite among us here," said an explorer.
"This is bad. If this is how the fight will be, we will just be a burden here," said another explorer.
Cade was shocked and stunned too. He, just like everyone else, could not see what had happened. They were all on a different level. Cade was hit with the real truth. He was too weak.
Compared to the four of them, he was too far below them. Even Jonathan that was not focusing on speed could see and follow what had transpired.
Sera who was arrogant could also see and follow what had happened and she had the right to be arrogant based on that alone.
Rico, on the other hand, was well known to be strong in their university though no one had seen him in action for real. So, it was not a surprise to see him able to follow everything.
"And seriously, how in the world Shihoon can do that too?" thought Cade and he looked at Shihoon weirdly and his mind was a mess.
He never thought that Shihoon was capable of something like that. Cade thought that his stalker was at the same level as him but he was really surprised to see him on a different level. His view on him slightly changed.
Cade did not want to admit that his stalker was stronger than him but, he saw him himself and it would be petty of him to not acknowledge it.
"You monkeys are much stronger than I thought," said the emerald Boarman suddenly and he was smiling. It was not the mocking and confident smile he showed earlier but a forced smile.
The emerald Boarman was surprised that he would almost die from their attack. He could see that they were not close friends or anything but their cooperation was shocking.
The most shocking of all was Rico and Shihoon. He knew about Rico since the beginning and he was eager to fight him but Shihoon was someone he had never once noticed before.
"A dark horse… or maybe I just did not realize about him," thought the emerald, Boarman. He was shocked by an unknown talent like Shihoon but he was also shocked by how strong Rico was.
"He had been hiding his real strength all this time. I wonder if he is hiding more?" thought the emerald, Boarman. Sera was not that much of a threat to him because her strength and ability were just like he estimated.
For Jonathan, he knew the defense he possessed but it was not something he could not deal with. It would just be quite a nuisance due to the high defense but Jonathan was slightly similar to the Boarman in some way. They excelled in one stat but got a jarring weakness in other stats.
"All of you can retreat first, we will handle him," said Rico as he kept his eyes on the emerald Boarman so that he could not sneak behind him.
Though Rico could follow the emerald Boarman's movement, he did not have the speed to chase after the Boarman. Rico was relying on his experience in fighting and predicted the movement of the Boarman.
"That's right, all of you should go. You will just be a hindrance here," said Shihoon and he looked extremely serious. He had never shown that face before. The enemy in front of him was not someone he could be laid back. He needed to take this seriously.
"I will not be able to do this much longer. I need to finish this fast. I am at my limit," thought Shihoon. Shihoon was able to move like that earlier because of all the pictures he had taken all this time.
He used them smartly to be able to sneak attack the emerald, Boarman. However, the picture comes to life skill has their limit. Though he could summon powerful beings from the picture, it would only appear for a few seconds.
And there were rules to the skill only the skill user knew. However, they could not publicize the rules as that was part of the skill rules.
Many people said the skill was too overpowered but only the owner of the skill knew the cost and rules of using the skill. At the moment, due to using the skill too much, Shihoon was at his limit.
"Miss Sera, Brother Rico, I will take the roles of protecting both of you and all you need to do was focus on attacking the emerald Boarman," said Jonathan as he moved neared Sera and Rico.
"Miss Sera is injured and I don't know how long Brother Rico can fight. He might look fine but who knows, he might be hiding his exhaustion. He used a really strong skill earlier and that will cost much of his energy. Mister Shihoon is at his limit and I can see that. We need to finish this fast," thought Jonathan.
"The archer monkey is my biggest threat. I need to finish him first," thought the emerald Boarman.
