With the dusk of the second day my team was resting only two people at a time will be on watch and I alternated the watch so that everyone had time to sleep before dawn I fear that before the sun shines in the sky we will be the target of yet another attack.
Moments like this I would rather be wrong, but I was right for a change I was awake in the last watch period before the attack.
With the approach of the attack I studied all the changes in the environment to my surprise I found nothing different except the changes that already knew the mana in the air was increasing and its flow becoming chaotic .
But the first animals I saw were the birds positioning themselves in the trees around the camp.
"Wake up!"
"We will be attacked by magical animals again."
"Get in training that we agreed on before we are going to kill yet another flock of animals we are already surrounded by birds ."
With my commands my team woke up and have already positioned themselves to defend themselves from the animals, but the attack did not arrive. We spent ten minutes in a tense atmosphere but the birds will not attack us and I could not see the aura of any other animal around the camp .
"Don't let your guard down, we're already surrounded."
Even using my eyes to the fullest I couldn't find anything but the birds they were like statues in the trees with an immobile look on our camp this is very strange.
" Ulric where is the attack I do not I see anything.
"I also do not."
Great now Erick and Ingredi are losing their temper, they didn't agree on anything and just fought because they have to start agreeing with each other now they can't wait for the test to end for that.
"Stay calm, there are only a flock of birds around us, that's all."
Over the minute the weather only got heavier mana in the air is frenzied attack more I see none at all .
Roar ! Rawwwww !
A tremendous roar came from the forest.
I was shocked I had never heard a roar like that and with it I felt a tremor on the floor and the sound of paws hitting the floor.
Every second the sounds of this beast become louder.
"Keep calm you can be a big animal more by sound and only one can take care of him Torris get ready to block him strengthen your defense to the maximum and Ingredi is ready to use his magic to create an earth wall in front of Torris."
" Raziel use his element to hide himself, the sun doesn't come out yet, wait until an opening to hurt a vital point, but if you can't try to blind him."
"Erick and Sten with me, we will surround the enemy and attack him from the sides. Do not try to make deep wounds, only shallow cuts. He must have a strong defense. We will make him bleed."
With the end of my sentence a huge shadow comes out of the forest, it was bigger than a bear. He must be close to two meters high and covered with black fur and I can see the moonlight reflecting on his claws and teeth.
"Ingredi!"
With my command two walls rise in front of the beast, but they will not be able to stop they will only slow him down, but it was enough for Torris to block him using his shield he was covered by his earth element and I could see that he had created a earth covering on the legs to disperse the strength of the packet it takes root in the ground.
Even crossing the earth walls the beast still had enough strength to move Torris backwards he maintained his defensive posture all the time, but by the time the beast lost momentum he had already moved one meter from its initial position.
But the moment they will stop. The Holt brothers and I were already attacking the beast on its sides, I on its right and the brothers on the left. I concentrated my wind element to the maximum, increasing my cutting power. I barely managed to cut the beast's skin, but I made a cut of his. shoulder to back tail.
Finishing my curved cut by the side of his body I heard his roar of pain, but I didn't stop there I wouldn't miss the chance to hurt him when he is still recovering from the onslaught I made my second movement aiming at the back of his knee as I was able to break I will target your skin on your joints .
Finishing my cut, I moved away from him in time to dodge his counter attack with his back leg even though he was cutting the link, this movement would have enough strength to hurt me if it had been hit I would have flown until it hit one of the trees.
Regarding my good result on the right side, the left side was barely injured, it seems that the brothers do not have enough cutting power to injure the beast.
The beast struck Torris with its claws and turned its body towards me and advanced against me. I moved towards the ditch.
But when I realized my mistake. I remembered that I had pasted mines on the other side of the ditch if I jump it to escape the beast I will fall on top of the mine.
I realized how screwed up I am I could only scream.
"Wall!"
Luckily for me Ingredi was already prepared to create a wall between me and the beast when the wall went up I gave my all to change my direction.
I managed to change my direction in the last few centimeters before the ditch shooting parallel to the edge of the ditch. I looked back and saw the beast crossing the stone wall and going straight to the ditch.
It would be very good for her to be trapped inside the ditch, but she is too small to accommodate the beast at most he will tip a part of his body in the ditch.
The beast's paws land on the opposite edge of the ditch and when they touch it the explosive mine detonates by injuring its paws and destroying the ditch's edge.
With the loss of support the beast falls its front legs are inside the ditch, but its neck and head collide on the new edge created by the detonation of the explosive mine I doubt that it will kill the beast but this was a violent blow in a fragile part of his body.
With the beast in that pitiful state I advance against it to take advantage, but before I check on it I see a shadow falling right against the upper part of the beast's skull.
Raziel must have jumped out of a tree to have reached that height. He was holding his flapped sword in his hands and kept it in a direct path against the beast's skull .
The black sword pierced the skull of the beast I hope he managed to kill the beast.
But my fears were not attended to when I felt an explosion of aura from the beast's body.
Rawwwww !
Hearing the beast's roar I used my eyes to see the beast's aura and for my suppressed wing it had two colors inside its body that showed that in addition to the normal mana and beast it had elemental energy in its body and it was of the element of life.
The energy of life was going into a frenzy in your body, but that didn't stop my momentum .
"Leaves!"
Raziel barely managed to get his sword out of the head of the beast that had begun to struggle.
With the cut open blood was coming out of her head while she was struggling in the ditch, but luckily her position was so bad in the ditch that she couldn't get out of it, her back leg that was out of the ditch only managed to deform it. earth causing the entire ditch edge to break and caused the center of his body to go deeper into the ditch.
With the magic beast struggling in vain to leave the vulnerable position I did the same attack Raziel and punched my sword at the head of the beast of course I did it aiming the wound already made and could pierce the celebrate the beast killing her .
But the beast did not give up fighting sustained by the energy of the life element, it still fought in vain for a few seconds even with a sword piercing its celeb.
I had already read and heard my mother's stories more, seeing the tenacity of the magical beast and the element of life if it weren't for being very lucky in this fight, it would have been much more difficult and we would be lucky to just get hurt.
Catching my breath I dare Ingredi screaming.
"Is everyone okay ?!"
"Yea! You can come here. "
Seeing the rest of the team approaching, I step off the beast and join Raziel .
"It will be difficult to get the magical beast out of this ditch."
"Why would we do that?"
"Wait, did you say magical beast ?!"
"That was a magical beast your body is worth much should draw their claws, fangs, some bones and the meat can get a piece to eat it retains the beast life element will be very nutritious and will not hurt anyone in the group and more importantly her core will help us get a good score on the test. "
" Ulric, was that really a magical beast ?"
"We were very lucky Raziel to be able to kill her using weak weapons like this."
Raising the sword that I used in combat, the sunlight that was rising reflected it on the blade showing her pitiful state , if it weren't for my aura that is still running on her, she would have already broken.
"Look at your own sword, it must not be in a better state than my sword, even if you use it only once during combat, the body of the magical beast and very resistant without the elemental energy our aura would not be able to cut the beast."
"Hey Torris, are you whole because we are going to need the whole team to get the body out of the ditch?"
I saw Torris carrying a broken shield on his arm when he came towards us. The rest of the team seemed to be made up entirely of Ingredi, which was whiter than usual.
"I thought I had broken my arm when I blocked the beast, but even overcoming it, I only heated up one more blow of it was hurled against a tree and my shield was broken. Was that a level two magical animal ? "
"It was not yet level one, but it is not a magical animal but a magical beast she had the element of life before she died she would even go into a state of fury if she was not lucky enough to have been trapped in the ditch no one on the team would warm up be hit by it. "
"I don't believe we killed a magical beast ?"
I got tired of repeating myself .
"Let's get this beast out of the ditch everyone helping the three of you push it and Raziel and I will pull it out of the ditch and Ingredi use the earth magic to raise the beast."
After much effort we took the magic beast out of speech and started to dismantle his body and prepare a nice breakfast .
