The heart of Logan pounded fiercely, fixated on the unfolding fight.
Zephyr's figure disappeared in a flash, evading the hit of the huge tyrant as it's fist slammed the ground making the building quake.
The blade flashed again this time targeting the head of the tyrant from behind but as it landed on its head, a loud clanging sound echoed as the blade bounced back failing to penetrate the tyrant's defense
Zephyr's expression changed as he focused on the spot he attacked.The Flesh on that spot shone with a metallic luster proving that though the tyrant had the intellect of at least a normal human and sensing it's demise, it utilized a skill thus blocking the fatal attack meant to kill it
Taking the opportunity, the tyrant slapped backwards with it's huge palms in a bid to kill it's prey. Realizing he couldn't evade due to the recoil of his attack, Zephyr parried the blow with his sword. The momentum sent him flying as his body crashed against the wall almost breaking it
[Warning!! Health reached a critical level due to injury sustained , Attributes are halved till full recovery]
Notifications sounded in Zephyr's head as he got hit by the tyrant
'Shit, sigh~ my arrogance will be the end of me' thought Zephyr as he attempted to stand despite the pain due to his ribs being fractured from the attack he received
Logan, seeing the situation becoming grave shouted aiming to attract the tyrant's attention towards him thus giving Zephyr sometime to prepare
"System, put eleven points into physical defense, seven to physical strength then the rest to Reflex" said Zephyr after analysing his current situation. Though he might stand a chance if he increaseed his strength, he was afraid that even if he broke through the defence of the tyrant, he wouldn't be able to bear it's final retaliation and so he preferred stalling.
'As for Logan, what does that have to do with him, it's his honor to sacrifice his life to pave a way for he Zephyr's future ' thought our Mc shamelessly

With a roar, the tyrant charged at Logan showcasing great speed as it appeared before him in almost an instant while sending a punch with it's remaining hand towards Logan
Zephyr had a strange expression as he watched Logan meeting the tyrant's punch with his own
'Seeking death' was the first thing that came to Zephyr's mind as he laughed at the audacious guy for overestimating his abilities in facing a failed one as strong as the tyrant whose strength already reached around fifty
Bang!!!
A sound was heard as the tyrant flew across the Zephyr with it's arm destroyed leaving a gapping hole at it's shoulder
Though surprised, Zephyr's thought were hyper active, taking the opportunity as he streaked across the distance in a flash of blue lightning and decapitated the tyrant
This time, what fell to the ground was the head of the tyrant as it's huge body fell with a tud
Zephyr calmly walked over to the disappearing body of the Elite tyrant

Zephyr's thought raced as he instantly understood how a Logan repelled the tyrant
The Elite grade Tyrant had dropped three objects
Two orbs and one skill scroll.
"System how are things graded" asked Zephyr as examined the the items
From lower rank to higher rank, treasures are divided as follows;
-Grey: Ordinary grade treasure
-Red: : Good grade treasure
-Green : Excellent grade treasure
-Yellow : Rare grade treasure
-Blue : Magic grade treasure
-Golden : Legendary grade treasure
-Purple : Mythical grade treasure
One of those orbs was yellow in color, representing a Rare grade Treasure, while the other was blue representing a Magic grade treasure. As for the skill, it glowed with a golden color making even Zephyr surprised
"System isn't it too much, how can high grade items be many like this" asked Zephyr in a puzzled tone
The system said in an emotionless voice [It's perfectly normal because it was just two of you who participated in the kill, and though what you slayed was a tyrant, it's wasn't in optimum state due to insufficient Life Force this weakening it]
"Oh so what we killed was just a beta version of a tyrant eh"
[Yes, at it's prime, it could kill you with a casual smack]
'Forget it, I'm not interested in arguing with you, we'll find out when the time comes'
[Telekinesis: (Second Order Skill) Level 5: You affect any matter with just a thought. The effect of the skill depends on the user's mental strength, mana, and imagination]
Seeing the skill, Zephyr was surprised at it's level and it's effect, this skill will suit a mage perfectly in the early stage of the cataclysm
"Thanks for the help, and you are???" asked Logan cautiously after seeing Zephyr deep thought
"Zephyr"
"So it's you, I knew I remembered you from somewhere, my father is a subordinate of yours sir Tempest " Logan's eyes lit up as said while trying to be polite as if afraid of something
"Oh.... so your Logan Locke, old man Locke's son eh"asked Zephyr as he examined the treasures
"Yes yes I'm the one" said Logan seeing an opportunity of his life before him, no The opportunity of his life
"Well Logan, what will you do now that your companions are gone eh" asked Zephyr slowly in a calm and strange voice as he looked at Logan with a sincere expression
