Chapter 46
"Fine! If you won't help her, I will do so myself." Clara said as she broke free from Grey's grip and ran forward quickly grabbing a long pole and charging straight at the beast.
"Mum! What are you doing!" Grey shouted out loud as dread filled his heart seeing his mum rushing towards the beast.
Clara got in front of the beast and swung the pole she got from the ground and the Talonus quickly grabbed the pole then it dropped the girl and turned to look at the foolish human in front of it.
It drew the pole from Clara's hand lifting her slightly from the ground.
"Let me go you ugly beasts!" She said as she tried her best to kick the beast.
Not wanting to waste time, the beast stretched its claws heading for Clara's head. Seeing this, she closed her eyes in fear as she saw her eyes flashed in front of her.
Then she heard a sharp noise flying beside her and then she was suddenly let go as she found herself free falling down and then she was suddenly in soft arms.
"What the?" She said as she slowly opened her eyes to see a red haired individual in front of her holding her.
"Grey?"
"Mum! Are you nuts?" Grey shouted as his mum was slowing standing up and then they heard a loud growl in front of them.
"Well, my bad luck that you had to pick a level 4 beast to annoy." Grey said as he grabbed his mum's hand who in turn grabbed the little girl's hand and they quickly sped away.
While running, the Talonus was now chasing them. Anything or anybody that got in its way was quickly dissected as it solely focused on the three humans in front of it that were trying to run away.
Grey tried everything to shake the beast off his tail either by throwing fireballs or kicking the earth so that a cart or something would be sent the beast way.
But it didn't relent as all it attention and focus was solely on the three humans. Seeing that the girl would slow them down, Clara quickly lifted her up and began running alongside Grey.
But then they suddenly halted as they could see another Talonus in front of them while the earlier one was still behind them.
"Dead end!" Grey clicked his tongue and then looked behind him to see the level 4 Talonus closing in.
"What are we going to do now Grey?" Clara asked as she looked at the scared girl in her hands.
"The only thing I can do, get you two to safety!" He said as he looked around and saw somewhere peaceful that was devoid of beasts ravaging there.
"Wind magic! Liftus!" He shouted as a huge wind lifted Clara and the girl and made them land on a rooftop of a building safe away from any danger or beasts.
Clara was about to scream when Grey quickly looked at her and shook his head telling her not to say anything so as not to attract any unwanted attention.
Looking behind him, he could see the level 3 Talonus coming at him while the level 4 Talonus was closing in in front of him.
"I guess I can't run for long huh, I need to fight." Grey smiled as a tornado was suddenly surrounding him blowing away anything that was trying to come close.
The tornado was raising higher and higher above Grey's head while surrounding his body and trapping him inside. The beasts that were coming close, suddenly stopped while looking at the phenomenon going on.
The level 3 beast that was behind Grey quickly bolted towards the tornado trying to draw Grey out of it but when it stretched its claws, it felt a sharp pain that ran through all its body.
Causing the beast to move back away from the tornado while looking at it weirdly.
"I learnt this recently. And I think this is the last spell in the wind book that mage gave to me. And it is the strongest spell a 2 star mage of my level can cast." Grey said through the tornado as he was flying in it.
"Wind magic! Tornado wind blades!" He shouted and immediately, the tornado dispelled and blew hot air around while sharp blades of wind quickly plunged into the level 3 beast killing it on the spot.
'I guess I have become strong enough to kill a level 3 beast in one strike huh.' Grey thought as turned around to see the level 4 beast and his face was met with a claw strike that sent him flying and tumbling on the floor.
"Darn! It didn't hurt the level 4 beast at all? Hold on a sec!" Grey said as his eyes widened in shock.
He could see that the level 3 beast was still alive as it stood up while it's body was riddled with injuries from head to toe but it was still standing strong.
It stood beside the level 4 beast while snarling at Grey angrily.
"Darn it! What the hell!? It didn't kill it?" Grey said in annoyance.
In a flash, Grey could see the level 3 beast charging right at him with fury written all over its face as it was getting closer to Grey.
When it got close, it swung its claws at Grey who quickly used his wind magic to lift him up above the beast making him avoid the claw strike narrowly.
Before he could do anything else, he could suddenly see the level 4 beast in front of him swinging its claws out at him.
He swiftly acted fast by creating an Earth wall in front of him but when the claw hit the wall, it shattered and Grey was sent flying out of the air falling to the ground while throwing dust out.
"Kuh kuh kuh!" Grey coughed as he slowly stood up when he saw a glowing eye in front of him and then he was hit again sending him tumbling and breaking apart whatever cart or stall in his way until his back hit a wall.
With a cough, blood spilled out of his mouth with his head bleeding entering into his eye.
"I have had enough of you filthy beasts!" Grey said as his whole body erupted in flames burning brightly.
