A large explosion occurred again, this time much more powerful than the first attack. The forest area returned to a spacious area after just two attacks. Cleon's eyes began to search for the perpetrator who had attacked them. However, it was still unclear who the perpetrator was who sent such a big attack towards them. Cleon thought that this was the work of a large army that had just passed by, but the troops did not see them at all.
Suddenly the magic scroll held by Cleon gave off light again, and he immediately opened the magic scroll. He went back to reading the last clue he got earlier. Below the instructions a new text appears.
"15 people"
This made Cleon think hard about what the 15 people meant.
"Is this the number of participants left now? "It's crazy because there were hundreds of them from the start," Cleon muttered as he put away his magic scroll again.
Not long after Ava approached Cleon, she watched as Cleon opened the scroll. He was curious about the new clue that had appeared.
"Any new leads?"
"Nothing, it's just that this scroll seems to show the remaining participants who are still surviving in this forest. There are 15 participants left."
Hearing Cleon's words, Ava was not surprised at all. He himself understood that this test was indeed very difficult, there were many unexpected things when he arrived in this forest. Now there are only 5 teams left with them.
Not long after, Cleon felt another attack coming. He immediately got ready and gave Ava the code to be ready for whatever was coming. Rhodes himself also felt the same way.
Their eyes searched for where the next attack would come from. Suddenly the figure of a huge, tall monster appeared in front of them all in the blink of an eye. They really didn't know where that figure came from, of course it surprised them all. The large figure carried a spiked mace almost the same as the figure Cleon had fought against when he was in the eastern forest during training, but this figure had a dark red skin color.
"Guuuuaaargghhhh!!"
The monster roared so loudly that it hurt the ears of everyone there. They all reflexively covered their ears but it seemed in vain because they still felt sick from the roar. His eyes looked sharp looking around with an angry expression.
"Unlucky! "I feel familiar with this," said Cleon while trying to endure the pain.
Just as he said that, suddenly in the blink of an eye an attack came hitting Cleon's body very quickly.
"Duarggh!!"
The blow from the spiked club hit Cleon's body, sending him flying quite far. Luckily, Rhodes had fast reflexes, he immediately used earth magic to gently stop Cleon's body. This of course shocked them all, the monster's attack was very fast and could not be seen with the naked eye.
"Healing!"
Cleon immediately used healing magic to recover from the attack. He looked quite out of breath and a little bit in pain, the healing magic that Cleon used this time only helped to heal fatal wounds, but not fully recovered.
"Are you okay?" Rhodes asked.
Cleon just nodded while trying to stand up. On the other side, you can see Reiga who is ready to attack, he is running and immediately jumps up.
"Unison Raid!!"
A simultaneous ice sword attack was issued by Reiga. But who would have thought that Reiga's attack was lost quickly, the monster had already moved in front of Reiga before Reiga's attack reached the monster. With one swing, the spiked club hit Reiga's body and sent him flying downwards.
"Duarggghh!!"
Reiga's body was thrown quickly, but this time he still had good reflexes and was fast. He immediately cast water magic to cushion his body that was about to fall to the ground, so he didn't suffer too much damage. It's just that he still felt the pain from the mace attack.
"He's a crazy monster!" said Jace while preparing to attack with his magic.
Jace placed both palms on the ground, his eyes sharp at the monster not far from where he was standing. On the ground a fairly large magic circle appeared.
"Round steel spears!!"
A huge steel spear appeared from the circle and rotated very fast. Immediately shot towards the monster that had just returned to the ground after attacking Reiga in the air. But the monster seemed to notice Jace's attack, he immediately swung his spiked mace to block Jace's steel spear attack.
"Duuaargghhh!!"
The clash between the two weapons is now happening, the monster looks a little backwards against Jace's spear attack. Seeing that the monster was busy with Jace's attack, Ava was already preparing her attack magic from afar.
"Storm of lightswords!!"
Tens of blades of light took shape and rushed towards the monster like a storm.
"Duuargghhh!!"
Ava's attack hit the monster's body head-on as she was preoccupied with Jace's spear attack. Ava's light sword attack was fast, the ground and also the trees around the monster were affected by Ava's attack to create quite thick dust.
While the thick dust still covered the monster, Rhodes seemed unable to stay still. He immediately dealt an additional strike, Rhodes smashed his right palm into the ground.
"Hunter's claw!!"
A giant dirt claw smashed into the monster's body amidst a thick cloud of dust. A gust of wind strong enough from the attack was felt to make them cover their eyes with their arms.
"Guuuuaaargghhhh!!"
The roar of the monster was heard again, all the dust surrounding the monster was blown away in an instant. He didn't seem to be hurt at all by the successive attacks given by them, it's just that he looked quite irritated from it. Of course it took them all by surprise, successive attacks and drained quite a lot of mana but didn't have any effect.
Damn it!
"How strong is he?!"
"This is really troublesome!"
Just as they sighed for a moment, suddenly the monster disappeared and appeared within seconds in front of Jace. Quickly the attack from the monster came, he again swung his spiked mace and hit Jace's body. Jace was blown away by the attack, but not just Jace. In the blink of an eye, the monster had moved. Now he was standing right in front of Rhodes, because of his fast reflexes Rhodes immediately cast defensive magic.
"Earth walls!!"
As the earth wall formed, the attack from the monsters came. The spiked mace flew freely against the earthen wall created by Rhodes.
"Duuaarghh!!"
