The movement was so fast that the four of them couldn't react in time, but just before the beast's claw could hit them, the beast's ferocious eyes suddenly turned blank and it missed its attacks.
After the beast's eyes turned back to normal, it jumped back and looked toward the two humans whom they thought to be powerless, upon careful observation the beasts could sense a strong soul power coming from these two.
The beast instinct kicked in and told them their chance of winning was low, they looked at each other seeing the fear and intention in each other eyes.
Just before the beasts could turn back and ran away, the man shouted from the back quickly "Hold these beasts, don't let them run away!"
The other four gritted their teeth and encircled the beast.
The beasts roared in anger as these four weaklings dared to keep them there.
Blood continued to flow out of their eardrum, and they felt dizzied right after the beast roared, but the dizziness didn't last long as the sound immediately disappeared replaced by the sound of beasts groaning in pain.
The four, seeing the beast in pain knew that it was the doing of their boss just like usual, they knew that the opportunity to attack had just come, so each of them raised their weapon and slashed directed at the beasts bodies.
The huge beasts who were distracted by the pains in their soul, each had their bodies slashed through easily by the weaklings that they looked down on, making them feel even more painful.
The beasts countered-attack by swinging their sharp claws brainlessly everywhere without aiming, some attacks were randomly connected injuring the men.
But the four of them kept slashing while dodging the claw attacks coming from the beast without stopping as the injuries that were inflicted on them were mostly light wounds that wouldn't make them lose their fighting capability.
Eventually, the breasts that were bathed in their own blood could no longer stand it, they let out their last roars one by one with their eye closed and fell down to the ground.
Thud...
When the beasts bodies finally hit the ground, the four stopped attacking and looked at each other, they could see the relief in each other eyes as all of them knew that they got to live another day.
Just before they could continue to enjoy these feelings, a voice sounded out from behind them "Hey, catch this and harvest these souls just usual"
The moment they turned back, the bottle had already flown toward their face, the bottle was flying at an alarming speed but in their perspective, the bottle was flying at a really slow speed to their location, as they weren't just any other normal powerless civilian.
After one of them caught the bottle, he squatted down close to the huge beast corpses and opened the lid to the bottle.
Right after the bottle lid was opened, the souls that were residing deep inside their minds started to float out of their bodies into the bottle.
The moment that the last souls flew into the bottle, he closed the bottle lid and placed it safely inside his pocket.
"It's finally over huh." One of the men who stayed at the back said.
"Well, winning is just a matter of time..." The other man replied.
"After all this beast isn't specialized in physical strength but the soul one, otherwise we wouldn't have such an easy time killing them, not that soul beasts are any weaker than them, we are just lucky enough to encounter the weaker one" He continued.
The other man nodded slowly in agreement but he didn't say anything else.
When four of them made sure that they had collected every soul coming from the beasts, they took out a skinning knife and began to skin the beasts corpses carefully.
The skinning process went pretty smoothly as these people were used to doing such things.
After the beasts corpses were fully skinned, the only visible things to the eye were its muscles, yet they went even further and collected everything that was of use to their boss.
The huge beasts that looked intimidating right now looked really pitiful, nothing was left for people to identify them not even their bones.
When they were done processing the corpses, one of four who wore a ring on his middle finger went around the loots putting them inside the ring.
the handle of the ring was pure black, it was carved in a mystery rune that was out of everybody's ability to comprehend, and the sapphire gems on top of it were emitting a blue misty aura making the ring even harder to understand.
After they were done with everything, they dragged their tired body unwillingly toward their bosses who stood at the back the entire time, not having to face off against the beasts face to face.
They knew that without the help of these men, they wouldn't even be alive right now, but the reason why they were fighting these beasts since the beginning was also because of these two men, so obviously they didn't feel a little sense of gratitude toward them, they even resented them.
Yet they could only keep it inside their mind because their lives were within the control of these people, a single mistake could get them killed brutally without a chance for them to even reincarnate, if such things truly exist.
"Good job you four." Their bosses praised them when they arrived in front of them.
Then they handed them the elixirs to help them with their recovery speed.
No one was touched by this as they all knew that the only reason why they were given these elixirs was because they were the fore-front fighting force of these people, their not being in the best possible conditions could place these two people's lives at risk.
Despite knowing that, they still took it while forcing a smile and thanking their bosses nonstop.
After they were done taking the elixirs, they were told to be more careful on the road because they might encounter enemies, and they took off.
