Chapter 183: Slaying the Guardian
Originally, the Guardian of the Forest should be over 5m and large. However, this one had a height similar to a Human and was sleek looking.
There were five fingers and toes on each extended limb, just like a person. Except for the back that was made of hard rocks, the whole body was composed of transparent ores and flashing above its head was the name 'Awakened Guardian of the Forest.'
'The Awakened Guardian of the Forest is several times stronger than the normal Guardian of the Forest.
Blue orichalcum is a mineral born with the power of moonlight and the Guardian of the Forest. Was that why? The Guardian of the Forest and blue orichalcum were very sensitive to moonlight.
Once every four months, the two full moons would rise at the same time and the blue orichalcum, which made up most of the Guardian of the Forest, would show an infinite power and awaken the guardian.
It was also the time when the Tzedkah Guild, which controlled this hunting ground, would not raid the Guardian because it was impossible to defeat, even with all their parties. But Dave had chosen this exact moment.
@: "Now that's a real challenge."
Madra said as Dave nodded. The sleek Guardian looked at them, then turned his gaze toward Elira. Among them, Elira was the slowest, and the Awakened Guardian was both fast and intelligent, so it aimed to kill her first.
Without hesitation, it suddenly dashed forward, just as Elira saw a long, clawed foot kicking toward her head. Instinctively, she activated a Mana Barrier, but it shattered upon impact. The kick was about to strike her face when suddenly, a sword flashed in midair, intercepting the Guardian's attack.
"Strong." Dave muttered as he felt the weight of the attack.
Though the Guardian was overwhelmingly strong, Dave didn't falter. Instead, he swiftly used the 50,000 Army Overpowering Sword, knowing that he couldn't match the Guardian in speed or raw strength. His best option was to incapacitate it first.
