Seven and Rolanda rushed over to attack the Two-headed Buffalos in unison. While taking Miss Brie's tactical classes, they had been taught that attacking a group of Vessels or enemies in one team strike was the best way to attack. This would ensure the possibility of defeating the enemies, as none of the enemies would be able to save the other while trying to defend itself.
The Two-headed Buffalos were huge and muscled figures, their brown skin seemingly thick and hard to accept slight piercing attacks. Their two heads possessed two large pointy horns, both eyes facing two different directions as they shone vibrant as if like starlight.
Unfortunately for them, that wasn't enough to detect the attack from behind quickly. Before the Two-headed Buffalos could know it, Seven and Rolanda already charged at them...
Sure, Seven's skill is a defensive one, but the system had also stated that it could be offensive especially when being a C-level skill. With the activation of Refuge, his lightning shield appeared as he charged at the first Two-headed Buffalo with a bang.
*BAM!*
The lightning shield hit the Buffalo on its butt, sending it to fall to the side at that instant.
*Slash!*
At that moment, Rolanda already launched a successful strike on the second Two-headed Buffalo, cutting its foreleg that instant.
*Groar!*
Loud groans could be heard after that move, but the two didn't stop attacking.
After using the shield against the first Two-headed Buffalo, Seven charged at it without even giving it a chance to get back on its feet. This time, he was intending to do what had flew into his mind.
Seven approached the Buffalo and thrust the edge of the lightning shield against it; of course, he knew what harm that strike could cause.
Not after launching it against one of the two heads.
*Slash!*
Although the Refuge skill is C-level, Seven was stunned after noticing that the edge of the lightning shield actually cut the Buffalo's head off. He never anticipated that the strike could cause such terrifying damage.
*Groans!*
The Buffalo groaned in pain as it turned toward Seven. After getting one of its heads cut off, the Buffalo only had one left.
That instant, the Buffalo seems to glare at Seven, its eyes piercing death into him. Seven didn't have to think twice before believing that the Buffalo had been raged.
After all, he expected it from a Vessel that hadn't been vanquished. They were always aggressive to those of not their kind.
The Buffalo charged at him with incredible speed the next moment, aiming the horns on its one, remaining head at Seven.
Seven expected that attack from such a creature, and he was fast enough to move away. Little did he know that the Buffalo wouldn't relent in chasing him for the attack.
The moment he moved away, the Buffalo suddenly switched to the same direction he moved to... Although Seven tried to escape again, that doesn't change the fact that the Buffalo would still chase after him.
For quite a while, the Buffalo chased after Seven at almost the same spot as Seven continued to escape every attack as fast as he could. However, it didn't seem like the Buffalo would give up anytime soon.
At a point, Seven was already getting tired, as his reaction speed had noticeably lessened. It was only a matter of time before he would be crushed by the Buffalo...
He was left with no hope...
What?!
No hope!?!
Perhaps he had little hope...
Just when he couldn't hold up any more, Whisky suddenly dashed out from nowhere and charged at the Buffalo with lightning speed. When Seven noticed the small cat charged at the now One-headed Buffalo, waves of uncertainty shrouded his mind.
The image was just as if like a cockroach trying to attack a crocodile. Seven saw no possibility of the little cat defeating the Buffalo.
It was visibly impossible.
However, just when Whisky was close to the Buffalo, he pointed Its claws toward the Buffalo's direction... That instant, shockingly, Seven saw Whisky's claws dashing out of his fangs as if like bullets, all aimed at the Buffalo.
In an instant, the claws hit the Buffalo's skin and pierced through it. The claws stuck to the Buffalo's skin, causing little streams of blood to gush down the wounded spots.
Seven eyes widened.
"Whisky could shoot claws?!" He shouted.
"I'm surprised too," moving his gaze, he spotted Rolanda coming out from the spot of an already dead Two-headed Buffalo that was now headless and limbless.
She had just cut off every part of the Buffalo's body. How crazy can that be?!
After looking for a moment, he returned his gaze to Whisky. This time, he glanced at his fangs, afraid that Whisky had just wasted his claws just to launch a small attack on a huge Buffalo.
However...
"New claws... It's growing new claws!" Seven shouted again.
*BOOM!*
While he shouted, the second Buffalo that Whisky had just attacked fell on the stony group, dead.
Seven couldn't be more astonished at this time.
Whisky just killed a Buffalo with just a few shooting of claws...???
"What the...?"
Even Rolanda was also stunned upon noticing this...
[Your Vessel, Whisky has paralyzed the Star-1 Two-headed Buffalo with the Neurotoxin Poison in his claws. Do you want to make the final blow and kill the Vessel?]
It was now that Seven understood what had just happened.
Whisky's claws are poisonous!
With a rush, he walked close and observed the fallen Two-headed Buffalo. It truly wasn't dead as the Ultimate Evolution System stated... It was only paralyzed.
This was why Seven wasn't notified that the Buffalo was dead after it fell.
"It isn't dead yet," Seven told Rolanda before activating the Refuge skill again.
Quickly, he used the razor-sharp edge of the lightning shield to cut the Buffalo's remaining head off. At that moment, the Buffalo was finally driven to extinction...
The once Two-headed Buffalo was now left with no head, dead.
[You have slain a Star-1 Vessel, Two-headed Buffalo.]
[Do you want to vanquish this Vessel?]
"No," Seven replied without hesitation.
[No interest to vanquish the Two-headed Buffalo.]
[You have gained 6 Evo Units.]
[Due to using your Skill, Refuge for slaying the Two-headed Buffalo, the skill has gained 40% progression.]
[Due to your Vessel, Whisky using the skill, Clawplay to paralyze the Two-headed Buffalo, the skill has gained 30% progression.]
[You have gained 50 Ultima Coins.]
[Ultima Coins: 70.]
A smile appeared on Seven's face after that range of notifications.
"Okay, now it's dead," he whispered.
This was the first time he was slaying a Vessel as a Vanquisher...!
