*Clang*
A sound of metal clashing was heard as Alex deflected the stinger that was aimed at his chest without much difficulty.
The stinger, being a weapon for the beast was quite strong, but Alex's simple sword was not something to be underestimated. Its simple looks gave it a not-so-special look but in reality, its grade is quite high.
The simple sword is a growth-type weapon, and it grows along with the user, so its being the same rank as Alex was a given. Even right now as Alex had limited his stats to B-rank, the sword remained the same, after all, he didn't lower the sword's rank (In case it was possible).
The beast backed away instantly as it looked at its stinger. It could feel its stinger vibrating till now, and it knew that its opponent was not as simple as it looked.
"Krrrrr." It then called out to its friends and all of them moved toward Alex.
