Chapter 83: Virtual Training Against Beast Waves
When the beasts roared, Mikael didn't hesitate. He propelled himself toward them, determined to bring the fight to them. Just as he was a few meters away from the first beast, he unleashed his attack.
Wind-Explosive Style
His speed skyrocketed, and he moved like a blur. In the blink of an eye, the heads of five nearby beasts flew into the air, blood splattering everywhere. But before any could fall on him, Mikael had already vanished.
Just as he was about to strike down another beast, he heard the sharp whistle of arrows whizzing past him. Two nearby beasts fell, their heads pierced by the arrows. Seeing Amelia's support, Mikael smiled before continuing his offensive.
His swords hacked at the beasts with incredible speed. With Amelia's help from a distance, the beasts were falling rapidly. But even so, Mikael frowned when he noticed most of the beasts were ignoring him and heading straight for the town's wall.
Knowing he couldn't let that happen, he cast his second-circle shadow spell, Projected Taunt. This spell, typically used by mages on a tank, draws the attention of monsters, causing them to focus on the caster. It works just as well on beasts.
After successfully casting the spell on himself, all the beasts around him, as well as those who had already passed him and were rushing toward the wall, turned toward him, charging with fierce aggression.
Undeterred by the intimidating spectacle, Mikael continued his assault, using the incredible speed of the Wind-Explosive Style to weave through the beasts' claws and teeth. He counterattacked with well-placed slashes that killed each one in a single strike.
Mikael was like a tornado of steel, cutting through the beasts as if they were wheat before a sickle. The E-rank beasts—wolves, boars, and others—couldn't withstand a single hit from Mikael's sword before collapsing.
The E+ rank beasts were more durable, thanks to their natural resilience and higher rank. They could survive the first strike while heavily injured, but the second would always prove fatal.
"Roar!"
