Others would be immediately terrified, but Thomas hadn't a hint of fear as he faced the horde of Peak 3-star Azure Horned beasts charged at him.
Suddenly, Thomas recovered his senses and waved his hand at the air.
"RUMBLE~" The air the raging beasts stomping on the ground. When the first Horned Beast of the horde finally reached Thomas.....
He, who has recognized the moves of the beasts, relied on the overclock skill to devise a plan.
A nice step to the left, he blocked the azure horn with the Adamantine Seal.
Bang!, The Horn-light was blocked, but the seal wasn't sturdy enough and shattering in a instant. However, a second seal appeared right after the first was destroyed as Thomas closed the distance with the beast, his anima energy exploded from his spear!
"Now!" Unlike last time, he was prepared and immediately unleashed his second newly-learned skill.
Adamantine Whirlwind Slash stage one, an strike with over three times his physical strength! A bloody fountain erupted out from the back of the Azure-horned beast, as its body dissipated into luminous particles.
"One!" Thomas' eyes were ice cold and he was as calm as calm could be. No matter how bloody, death didn't seem to move his heart.
He stood directly in the center, surrounded by the monsters! Time passed second by second.
After fighting for over sixteen minutes, Thomas landed on a pile of earth some distance away.
"It looks like this place can't simulate perfectly. Those beasts are about 50% of that mutated Azure-horned beast, only their defenses were at least 80%. I may be more powerful, but it doesn't seem to be possible to win 100 of such beasts at 100%..." Thomas was clear about his limits. There isn't enough energy in his body to keep up with his skills. Among all his skills, Adamantine Whirlwind Slash and Adamantine Whirlwind Seal were the only ones with low-energy cost, though it only works with anima energy.
Thomas' footwork was highly proficient giving the years he spent training in Dexia Institute. And with his improved processing speed, he's now able to accurately predict and dodge the many Azure beasts. Thankfully, Thomas got tons of experience with fighting through Prometheus life in the warzone, crafting weapons so the bloody scene didn't faze him. Otherwise, If he didn't all those memories, it would be quite troublesome to deal with 100 3-star Azure-horned beasts.
Slash!
Another azure beast fell when the wooden spear hit it in the belly.
31, 32, 33 - the kill count kept rising. The beasts jumped, charged and sent numerous energy rays. His anima energy was close to zero when all those attacks arrived, in this moment Thomas was about to circulate his demonic energy when he hesitated.
"Not good!"
Unfortunately, one of the azure lasers was too fast and hit his shoulder. At the same time, an nearly-dead Azure horned beast behind Thomas managed to gather his last strength and extended his horn endlessly towards Thomas.
- 10 LP
- 3 LP
- 4 LP
- 9 LP.....
Instantly, Thomas area of retreat was blocked off and, because of this mistake, the horn stepped through his back, his life points drooping much like Wall Street's Crash of 2029.
