Chapter 70
70 Fighting a pack
A few hundred kilometers from Korin City, a forest contained a Tier 1 Danger Zone full of Wave Beast. There was a pack of five Earth Lions in it, and they were devouring corpses of other Wave Beasts when something happened.
“Crack!” The sound of the ground cracking echoed through the forest as a male humanoid figure stamped and propelled his body with immense momentum toward the pack.
The man emerged from a blind spot and was able to reach the pack before the Earth Lions could get battle ready. He got near one of the Level 2 Wave Beasts before landing a blow on its body and triggering a blast, shattering the beast’s ribs and lungs.
He had just neutralized one of the Earth Lions when the rest of the beasts lunged at him. Without hesitation, he moved back, dodging the claws that sought to dismember him.
It was easy for him to dodge the Level 2 Earth Lions, but there was one among the pack that reached Level 3 and managed to keep up with his speed.
He saw how the Level 3 Earth Lion dashed forward and was about to lunge toward him with its maws open, but his gaze had no fear or concern.
Just as the Level 3 Earth Lion was about to reach the man, six fifty-centimeter-long ice spears emerged from the distance and crashed on its body.
“Ahhh!” The Earth Lion howled in pain due to the projectiles. The ice spears did not kill it due to its resilient body but managed to interrupt its attack and push it away from the man.
Seeing the ice spears thrust its leader away disoriented the rest of the pack, something the man took full advantage of, flashing toward them and landing a direct blow on one of the Level 2 Earth Lions, triggering another blast that killed the beast.
