Roar!
The thunderous roar echoed on the island, shaking the mountains and forests.
The earth seemed to be shaking at this moment. Looking at the scene in front of them, Allen and Kelly subconsciously tensed up.
"It seems that Mr. Gyles doesn't want us to easily complete the challenge."
Looking at the retreating crowd in front of her, Kelly couldn't help frowning.
Obviously, they were all afraid of the beast in front of them.
But it seemed to be the same. At this time, the students did not have any weapons at all.
But for the mage without weapons, its own strength would be greatly reduced.
How could a mage be a match for these beasts only with physical strength?
"Yes, but I don't want to starve."
Allen looked at the end of the road, with a dog's tail grass in his mouth.
He gently bit the broken stem of the weed with his teeth, and a sweet and slightly bitter taste spread from the tip of his tongue.
Huh.
It was indeed a little troublesome.
But it was not a big deal.
Allen smiled.
Since he couldn't get through it with the magic power, he'd better use the power of his body.
"Look! The students walking in front of us are coming back."
Kelly's eyes widened in shock. She looked at the people approaching her and asked Allen in confusion.
As they got closer to each other, there was a touch of shock in Kelly's eyes. "Their clothes and injuries..."
Many of the students who had retreated were beaten black and blue by the beast in front of them, and even many of their clothes were torn into pieces.
Their body was covered with dust and blood, looking extremely miserable.
"Are those monsters really that terrifying?"
Kelly's tone gradually became a little hesitant, and a trace of flinch arose in her heart.
After all, she was also a mage, and she was not sure about the monsters blocking her way.
"Maybe it's true for us students."
Allen nodded and expressed his thoughts frankly.
Although he couldn't defeat these beasts, he had the ability to protect himself.
Obviously, the beast must have been chosen by Gyles himself.
They could not only block their way up the mountain, but also not hurt their lives.
It was really a good plan.
Allen smiled.
He spat out the weed in his mouth and his eyes became firm.
Since you didn't want me to take the road, I still wanted to take the road.
On the other side, Kelly looked at the black and blue students walking towards her and took a few steps forward.
"Can we survive in front of the beasts?"
Kelly asked tentatively, gradually losing her confidence.
"Don't think about it anymore. It's impossible."
The classmate in front of her limped past Kelly and stopped subconsciously when he heard her question.
Then he turned to Kelly and sighed.
At this time, his poor friend also echoed, "Damn it. That's not something we can pass. Although the beasts Gyles found are not particularly powerful, they have a very strong defensive power, especially for the magic power."
"So we were almost beaten like this by those beasts. If those beasts were a little stronger, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to come back alive."
"I see." Kelly sighed slightly and her eyes became a little serious.
"What about them?" Then Kelly pointed at the group of people following the two.
Those people were not as serious as them. At most, they had just scraped a little skin and were covered with dust.
The boy turned his head and looked at the army behind them. He smiled bitterly and said, "Of course they don't want to be tough with those beasts."
"With us as the vanguard, how could they not see the power of that beast?"
"Oh, I see."
Kelly nodded thoughtfully.
After saying goodbye to each other, the students all walked towards the path.
The rest of the troops also retreated. Knowing that they couldn't do it, they naturally wouldn't take the risk.
"What about us?"
Kelly asked softly, looking at Allen who was lost in thought.
"Let's move on." Allen turned his head and smiled. He didn't say anything but kept calm.
They were just some beasts that relied on their physical defense to block the way.
Others didn't get through it. It didn't mean that I couldn't get through it.
Allen touched the dagger on his waist subconsciously.
If these beasts dared to stand in their way, they would just kill them.
"Those demonic beasts are not easy to deal with."
Kelly was a little worried.
Allen's face didn't change. "It's okay. I'm here with you."
They could easily reach the top of the mountain by taking this road.
Now that these beasts were treated as watchdogs by Gyles.
"A good dog doesn't block others' way." These beasts should all know that.
If they didn't know.
It was necessary to let the demonic beast know about it.
"Okay." Kelly took a deep breath and decided to trust Allen.
If he was beaten black and blue.
Then... Should I just run away or save Allen?
However, since those demonic beasts were immune to magic attacks.
Then I could do nothing to save Allen...
"There is no one else on the road now. It seems that they are all frightened."
Kelly frowned and became a little nervous when she saw the gradually empty street.
Maybe it was the mood change caused by the atmosphere.
"Several beasts scared them. Tut, tut, it seems that they are not good."
Allen pursed his lips and smiled at Kelly.
...
"Humph! I... I'm not afraid."
Kelly snorted as she noticed the slyness in Allen's eyes.
"Of course." Allen nodded and smiled.
"You..." Kelly wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. She pouted and rolled her eyes at Allen. Ignoring him, she walked forward.
Roar!
"What is it?"
A beast roar suddenly sounded, shaking the mountain forest.
Kelly was startled as soon as she took two steps. She stood still in a daze.
At this time, she only felt that she was gently pulled, and then a broad figure had blocked in front of her.
Obviously, this person was Allen who was standing behind her just now.
"Hide aside."
Allen's voice was full of security, which made Kelly absent-minded for a moment.
"Be careful." Kelly said softly.
Allen nodded and squinted at the demonic beast.
It turned out to be a porcupine with strong fur.
Allen's face became more serious.
No wonder those students couldn't break through even if they joined hands. With the existence of beasts, it was indeed much more difficult.
"Roar!"
The ferocious porcupine had a boar-like appearance. Its mane was fiery red, and its two thick and long tusks were incomparably sharp.
As its four hooves stomped on the ground, it dashed towards Allen like a cannonball.
Its body moved as fast as a black cyclone and instantly roared over.
"You're awesome!"
Allen's wrist moved, and two ice magic forces instantly shot towards the wild boar.
The icy blue light turned into two icicles in the air.
Ding! Ding!
With two crisp sounds, the ice awls burst into pieces all over the sky.
"Sure enough, he ignored the magic attack." Allen murmured, and then his eyes moved. "But I don't know if you can withstand the physical attack or not."
Allen smiled.
Then he slammed his feet on the ground, causing a dull sound in an instant. The ground broke, and Allen rushed against the wild boar.
Whoosh!
A cold light flashed, and the sound of air breaking was harsh and sharp.
As the wind blew, Allen stopped. A crisp sound of metal collision rang out, and the dagger was put into the scabbard!
Plop!
The body of the porcupine suddenly stopped in the process of rushing forward.
Then he fell to the ground with a loud bang.
A deep blood pit could be seen faintly on its neck.
The blood spurted out and the wild boar was dead.
"Let's go."
Looking back at Kelly's dull face, Allen smiled and snapped his fingers.
"Oh, I see." Kelly came back to her senses and followed him in a hurry.
After they left, Orianna walked out from the other side. Seeing the two of them walking away, she pursed her lips and smiled.
