The lightning in Rafe's left hand began to solidify until it became brighter, and the lightning quickly shot forward with a size as small as the smallest strand of hair. But the flash seemed brighter than a normal bolt of lightning. The first Guardian who saw it looked surprised.
"Air shield!" the Guardian shouted as he brought his shield forward.
Just as a gust of wind blew from where the Guardian stood, the air around him instantly condensed to form a huge air shield in front of him. But Rafe just smiled as his bolt of lightning easily penetrated the air shield, even Rafe's small bolt of lightning was able to penetrate the Guardian's armor right into his chest.
Inside the Guardian's chest, Rafe's lightning instantly spread like roots throughout the Guardian's body, destroying all of his internal organs as the lightning continued to spread.
"Uhuk," the Guardian immediately vomited blood from his mouth before finally collapsing to the ground with blood gushing from his mouth, nose, and ears. Only then did the flash from Rafe's left hand stop.
Suddenly, all the other adventurers present were shocked to see the deadly effect of Rafe's small attack, and Hayato was even more shocked to see Rafe's deadly attack just now. The opposing Assassin, who had been ready to target Rafe, was also surprised that a low-mana Assassin could finish off an A-rank Guardian in such a short time.
"Hey, what the hell is going on?" muttered Lancer, who was standing right behind the dead Guardian.
"This is unbelievable, did he use physics in his magic attack?" thought Hayato with a shocked look on his face.
"What is going on? How can such a small magical attack penetrate his defensive magic?" the wizard said with a confused look on his face.
"This is the true form of magic, consider it a gift from me to you before your death comes," Rafe said with a grin.
"He deliberately pressurized his attack to condense it into a smaller form, so it would have more penetration. Even liquid water can be the sharpest cutter when used like that," Hayato thought as he stared at Rafe's back.
"No wonder his magic attacks can cut through even stronger magic, concentrated energy is stronger than scattered energy. All this time, everyone was more focused on making their attacks wider or more numerous, they didn't realize that the pressure of their attacks would be much weaker," Hayato thought.
"Neutron's disciples are indeed exceptional, their control is amazing," Hayato muttered with a smile.
"You bastards can't keep quiet!" the swordmaster shouted as he jumped at Rafe, slashing at Rafe's neck with his sword.
"Get used to not screaming when you attack," Rafe said as he caught the swordmaster's sword with his left hand.
The ground where Rafe stood instantly cracked and scattered into the air from the impact of the swordmaster's force. As the swordmaster kicked his foot near Rafe, dust seemed to scatter in different directions from where Rafe and the swordmaster were standing. At that moment, Rafe threw the ten pebbles he had collected to ten different places.
"Not only his speed, but also his power and physical strength are at the level of A-rank adventurers," the swordmaster thought as he saw his attacks being easily deflected.
"Support us with ranged attacks!" shouted the fighter, slashing at Rafe with his right hand.
As Rafe blocked the incoming attack with his right hand, a loud crashing sound was heard as the fighter's blow struck Rafe's right palm. The ground on which the three of them stood was instantly scattered into the air, Rafe's body thrown to the side by the energy of the fighter.
Suddenly, a black bat monster with very sharp claws appeared from three different directions, the monster lunging at Rafe while swinging its claws. Hayato slashed three times with his sword from a distance, three slashes of ice shot towards the monster that was about to attack Rafe.
"Don't forget me either!" Hayato shouted after slashing his sword.
Explosive sounds rang through the air as Hayato's three long-range slashes were parried by the claws of the three monsters. The assassin who had stood idly by immediately leapt from the ceiling at Rafe, two poisoned knives swinging at Rafe's neck. Meanwhile, the lancer, who had picked up his spear again, shot back at Rafe's body.
But Rafe's form had disappeared from the eyes of the four. The swordsman, fighter, lancer, and assassin around Rafe looked shocked. The three large bat monsters that were about to attack Rafe had suddenly turned to ash, and now it was clear that Rafe's figure was near the figure of the Beast Tamer, who was lying with his head cut off.
"What happened?" said the adventurers who were there.
"Triple fire slash!" Hayato shouted from a distance as he slashed his sword into the air.
At that moment, three fire slashes shot towards the still frozen swordmaster, but Hayato's attack was easily slashed by his sword until it was destroyed. This time, the angry swordmaster's gaze turned to Hayato.
"Protect the ranged attacker! I'll finish him first!" the swordmaster shouted as he rushed towards Hayato.
The assassins, fighters, and lancers who had been silent immediately shot at Rafe. Meanwhile, the guardian and the fighter, who were in charge of protecting the archer and the wizard, immediately stood close to each other.
"Don't hesitate to attack, both of us will protect you!" the guardian said to the wizard and archer, who were still surprised by Rafe's movements.
"Hey, don't come any closer! I've set a trap around me!" shouted Hayato as he drew his sword forward.
The swordmaster who was running stopped immediately when he heard Hayato's scream, he was immediately alarmed as he looked at Hayato. But Hayato smiled and raised his left hand in the air, at that moment, three ice spears were created above his head, but soon Hayato also created a fireball and blasted the three ice spears with the three fireballs he created.
A white mist began to cover the area where Hayato was standing, the swordmaster looking even more alert as he clutched his sword tightly. Meanwhile, elsewhere, Rafe was being attacked by other adventurers, clashing weapons and loud explosions could be heard several times as Rafe dodged his opponents' attacks.
"Looks like they're no ordinary Rank F boys, I'll have to get rid of this one so he doesn't bother the others," the swordmaster said as he kept his eyes on the thick white mist that enveloped where Hayato was standing.
The assassin quickly swung his knife, which was already covered in flames, towards Rafe's neck, but the flames on the knife immediately disappeared as he approached Rafe, the knife slash was easily avoided by Rafe by lowering his body.
At the same time, Rafe also swung his lightning bolt of a blow at the assassin's stomach, but the opposing fighter did not remain silent, he deflected Rafe's attack by kicking Rafe's elbow from the side.
From a distance, the archer began her attack, this time releasing an arrow made of burning flames. The arrow shot quickly toward Rafe's back, the air around them suddenly becoming hotter as the arrow grew larger. The fighter and the assassin who were near Rafe immediately jumped aside to avoid being hit by their friend's attack.
The sound of a powerful explosion was heard as the enlarged arrow hit the ground, chunks of earth where Rafe had been standing began to scatter in different directions due to the impact of the explosion.
"Killing you is easy for me," said Rafe, who suddenly found himself in the middle of the guardian, fighter, mage, and archer standing back to back.
"Impossible," muttered the Guardian with a pale face.
"I didn't see him move at all," thought the archer, who had just released her attack.
