Chapter 21 - Teaming Up

A 90 % awakened teenage girl in red, holding a skinny sword, landed several sword attacks on the beast. By her side, there were twin boys with blades who were very bulky and powerful looking. They continuously shouted and ran around the beast in attempt to focus the attacks on themselves.

Although these three people worked very hard, their attacks were not as effective as the other two in their party.

One of them was an extremely fit young man in black, holding a dangerous looking halberd, the "Purple Halberd". The two-meter-long weapon seemed very heavy. Every time the poisonous saw tooth tiger was about to attack the others, it would be beaten back by him and left with a bloody wound.

But the one Miles noticed the most was the teenager in blue, he was about eighteen years old, only had a flute around his waist. Weaponless, his attack were actually the most powerful, every causal punch of his would conjure up a sharp black storm which forced the monster to back down. It was actually a nuclear technique.

If Miles senses wasn't wrong, the energy wave radiating from the man was of a Level 2 Supersoldier realm, and using some technique, he was able to mix his nuclear energy into the air around his palm, forcefully attacking people without them noticing.

Of course, the power of that attack could not compare to actually pushing nuclear energy outside the body. Otherwise, the beast would be dead already.

The badly wounded monster in front of them was already exhausted, after the poisonous smoke that it futilely blew out was pushed away by black storm from the punch of the teenager in blue, the monster turned around and tried to escape.

"Not a chance!" The teenager in blue moved fast like lightning, without restraint, and hit the side of the monster extremely hard.

"Boom!"

A circular aftershock blasted from the point of impact. After one last growl, the monster was forcefully thrown sideways like an old cotton bag by that punch. The beast cried pitifully before it died due to all of its organs exploding.

"Very impressive, Maine." the girl in red swiped the sweat off and turned to look at the young man in blue with envy.

The teenager in blue said calmly: "This is not that impressive. In half a month, you will match this power easily."

The teenager in black holding the Purple Halberd said: "Heh years? I've unlocked 90 % of my Nuclear pulse. Even if I wait till 92% before transcending to Supersoldier realm, it would only take 2 months to catch up to you."

"Mmm." The man in blue nodded as he didn't really mind.

The girl in red made a displeased face, as she heard the arrogant statement of the teenager in black.

The twin brothers suddenly laughed brightly as they harvested the Interdimensional beast, "This time we got really lucky! This Interdimensional beast condensed a poisonous Blood Crystal!"

"A poisonous Blood Crystal?" The blue robed young man and black clothed man seemed surprised.

The twin brothers calmly nodded, "Yes, it is. It seems to have been formed only a couple of months ago judging that it is no larger than an eyeball."

A 2 star Iron grade beast could sell for about one hundred thousand credits.

After dividing it five ways, everyone would receive two hundred thousand credits. However, a Blood Crystal from the Interdimensional beast's body could sell for one hundred thousand Credits by itself. And even though it was only formed months ago, a pearl the size of an eye could sell for at least two hundred thousand Credits. This was because the poisonous Blood Crystal came from the Interdimensional beast's head which could be used as a medicinal ingredients or used for training one's poison nuclear arts. What is a Blood Crystal? It was simply the condensation of the Interdimensional beast's genetic energy compressed over the ages and richness of nuclear energy in its body. The result was a pearl that formed from layer upon layer of energy slowly wrapping the Blood Crystal to become larger and larger.

The red clothed girl stared with big eyes as she reached out to touch that incredible rare black Blood Crystal with her hand before the blue robed young man stopped her immediately, "Nikita, don't touch it! Poisonous Blood Crystals are condensed from the poison from the Interdimensional beasts over many years. It is extremely toxic, it can even melt through iron not to mention what would happen if you touch it!"

"Hmph!" The young girl stuck her tongue out.

The blue robed teenager took out a leather box from his pocket and said: "A wooden box and an iron box would not be able to contain this Blood Crystal, only a leather box could safely seal in the poison." The boy carefully used a leather glove to pick it up and carefully putting it into the box.

By the dead beast, the twin brothers had already began to cut away parts of the Interdimensional beast's body parts before storing them into a golden silky leather bag.

After everything was done, the elder twin brother frowned: "Maine, we spent so much effort to kill this one Interdimensional beast. Back in the cave we saw at least three Interdimensional beasts, one of which was extremely massive."

The red clothed girl suggested: "Perhaps we would go back and ask for help."

"What if other people get there first?" The elder twin frowned.

The teenager in black rolled his eyes, "How is that even possible? This entire dimension is more than 5000 kilometers wide and with its complex lay out, it's incredibly rare to find another group."

The blue robed young man shook his head, "Didn't you guys notice? The Scarlet poison fruit is about to ripen."

"Hmm? What does that mean?" The red clothed girl could not understand.

The young man in black looked a little bit distracted and also a little bit embarrassed as he said: "Once the plant is ready, those poisonous Interdimensional beasts would come out to eat it."
