Eugene quickly arrive in-front of Icrine, as he landed on the ground he quickly used his fast movement and momentum to put more power and strength in his greatsword as he grasps the sword even tighter, Eugene slightly bends down his body and holds the sword with both of his hand then he rapidly swung the sword at great speed.
"ETERNAL CLEAVE!" Eugene outcry his skill.
His greatsword has swiftly cut through the air as his will start to get thicker and denser and in just a moment the sword has struck the Icrine sides.
*CRACK*
"RRRROOOOOOOAAAAR" Icrine cry out in pain, as it soars meters away from Eugene after a hard collision with a huge tree.
*BANG*
As a loud crack was heard Eugene sword also break in half.
"Shit! Another one, every time I use that skill I break my sword, fortunately, it's just my backup." Eugene said, as he throws the broken sword aside and unsheathes a long sword on his back, the sword that Eugene hold is a bit different from the other sword its color is black without any design or pattern on its blade, it's like a regular long sword you can find on any shop.
"Holy shit! That's fucking cool!" A random warrior said.
"One skill to kill a 4th tier monster? Is that even possible?" A random mage said.
"I don't know but its Eugene was talking about, so It's possible." A random mage sage gleefully.
"What is Eugene's current level right now?" A random warrior said.
"I think it's level 60, he said that he's close to 'Advance'" A random mage said.
As they talk randomly chatter with each other, Eugene on the other hand felt that most of his soul were used in that skill, he forgot to control his soul usage when exchanging to will. But Eugene didn't really think much about it as he suddenly felt a threatening presence.
He didn't look around him as he knows where is that coming from, Eugene looks at where Icrine at, and at this point the dust and smoke the block Icrine had already cleared away.
Eugene saw that Icrine was standing right below the tree-like nothing has happened, but he can clearly see that the skill was very effective on Icrine even though it costs his sword, he also saw that Icrine crystalline body has cracked all around him like broken glass.
Suddenly, Icrine eight bloodshot eyes open, there's also black tears that flow in some of its eyes, and in Icrine arm, a pair of bone extends on its finger forming into a claw, while a fiery red flame intensely emits at it's back.
"ROOOOOOOOOOR!!!" Icrine angrily shout as it runs toward Eugene party, Eugene saw the evolution of Icrine, and he knows that it's only a matter of time before it became a 6th tier monster and when that happened not only them but the town will be very in danger.
"Shit! Its evolution is about to be finished. Guys we have at least 5 minutes before it became a 6th tier monster." Eugene shouts as he immediately said to his teammates.
"Mage, restrict his movement and counter his elements, warriors, like I said don't just jump into the battle or you will die, find an opening and cut through that, priest prepare for any injuries!" Eugene quickly command, he knows that his team is lacking so much, he doesn't have an assassin to deal much more serious damage, he also doesn't have a tanker, but it's not really his fault since battle dwarves are hard to find they live their lives doing blacksmith and it's hard to hire a beast-man as they are usually hostile on everyone, they're hot-headed, and he also doesn't have any archer to deal damage in a distance.
Eugene knows his team limitation, that's why when he heard that this job is just a beast of 4th tier he hurriedly accepted it but now they're fighting a monster that's about to enter the 6th tier and also becoming a rare elemental monster.
"I'll tank, you three on me, lets aggro this monster while the other's deal damage," Eugene said, while holding his position and holding tightly on his sword, the other three warriors follow suit as they fully prepare their self on the monster that rushing towards them, they also raise their shield and ready to brace the impact.
"Mage, Support!" Eugene said to one of the mages.
"SHIELD!" The mage shouts loudly, then a light-blue orb has surrounded Eugene and the other warriors.
"Now, that's what I'm talking about," Eugene said as he prepared himself and his soul for will exchange.
~Somewhere in the Forest~
Lax was becoming more anxious as he runs towards their hiding spot, he was very afraid that something might have happened already to Gabriel because on his way to the hiding spot, the ground was littered with a body of monster and people, there's also some other races and all of them are either rip in half or missing some limbs.
For a while that Lax runs through the forest he finally sees a familiar tree in the distance, seeing the familiar tree he hopes that Gabriel is hiding in the hiding spot safe and sound. But the moment he arrived in a certain spot under the tree the leaves and vines that they used to create a camouflage for the entrance was ripped apart the same on the door that was destroyed.
Lax felt his heart stop for a moment as a deep emotion of fear and anxiousness is stirring up inside him.
"GABRIEL!" Lax shouts as he runs through the entrance and in just a minute Lax arrives inside the hiding spot, the room has clearly been left out since Lax and Gabriel was too busy to maintain the room in a couple of years as they were very busy in their jobs, the room it was full of dust, but it was filled with books, weapons, knives, toys, etc. Lax and Gabriel used to put the stolen goods or toys in this hiding spot, they were very mischievous children back then and Lax was very thankful to get to know Gabriel as she became his friend he can rely on upon after the death of his parents.
Since Lax parents death, he was quite a distance from any of the people he encounters, he never talked much and never really care about the others, its just Gabriel that cares and talk to him every day, and because of that Lax was slowly but surely becoming more open and happy with his current life. It was hard but Lax was strong enough to endure and survive on his own.
The room was lit with dim lights of candles as a blond girl with a fresh scar in his stomach full of blood was sitting in the chair with her eyes close.
"NO! Gab!" Lax cry out as he quickly moves forward to Gabriel who was sitting in the chair, he quickly took his clothes off and rip it apart to use it and cover Gabriel's injuries. Lax was thinking about every possible thing he can do at this point, he also checks Gab's injuries, and fortunately, they are not deep enough to be fatal, he thought that some blood on her clothes came from other people or monsters.
He let out a sigh of relief since now he knows that Gab is safe even though she takes quite an injury, as Lax was focusing on Gab's injuries, both Gabs eye's open as she saw a familiar figure right in front of her, she then burst out of tear and hug Lax out of nowhere, she didn't even care about her injuries.
"Wha- Gab you're awake? What do you feel right now?" Are you all right?" Lax said in surprise not knowing that Gabriel would wake up.
"I'm okay, I'm just glad that you're here, saving me, even though you know that there's something dangerous out there," Gabriel said while crying.
"You know yourself, that monster would not stop me from finding you," Lax said with a smile.
"Yeah, you're my kitten that's why," Gabriel said while laughing as she already stops crying.
"Well, can you stop calling me that already?" Lax said.
"NO! Aaagh," Gabriel said as she refuses not calling Lax kitten, but suddenly she felt her injuries getting worst.
"What happened?" Lax said in concern.
"Don't shout you, idiot, It's my injuries, we should get out of here as soon as possible," Gabriel said.
"Wait, where's the monster? Is that thing already gone?" Gabriel suddenly asks Lax.
"No, adventurer guild is dealing with it, I saw a party," Lax said as he pulled Gabriel out of the chair while supporting her in her side.
"That's good, I wish that they will kill that thing quickly," Gabriel said while Lax and her walk out of the room.
