Chapter 120: Let Them Come
Kaiju then analyzed the battle earlier. He was not used to seeing Snow and Little Gorilla struggling in a battle, except against Qwanisha. The main reason for the latter was that they held back, and the constraint of adjusting with each other, especially on a battle formation.
Obviously, with dozens of Crimson Knights, spreading their Mana Aura, Snow and Little Gorilla has experienced its oppressiveness. Thankfully, most of the vampire players were not efficient in controlling their body, much less the Mana Aura.
Perhaps, the biggest advantage they only had was they possessed the body of an Overlord rank monster. It would indeed be difficult for the higher races to defeat them–Kaiju and his pets already struggled when they battled against a non-player Crimson Knights prior to obtaining the treasures.
Kaiju continued to analyze his battle earlier–his decision making, the flaws he noticed that might be good and bad depending on the situation, his coordination with his pets, and many more. Overall, he rated his battle earlier, like how normally his Teacher would after their practice, as "not bad."
It was more like an average rating, which left a bitter taste on Kaiju’s mouth. After all, he knew he was still short in fully capitalizing his current power–maxing out his attributes and wearing two epic-grade artifacts.
To obtain an excellent-grade, or even a perfect one, he could have annihilated the Crimson Knights in ten minutes with just relying on Blink and the passive effect of the advanced dagger mastery.
Of course, Kaiju was not depressed, he was aware he was still adapting and learning. Snow and Little Gorilla gathered around him, feeling weary. They were surprised at how exhausted they were, but only then did they realize the impact of enduring the oppressive effects of the Mana Aura–not just once, but more than twenty of them.
Thankfully, compared to Herforao, the Mana Aura of the Crimson Knights was so unstable that it would disappear if their emotions were disturbed. This was exactly why he admired Kaiju. It might have been part of his plan.
After all, one of the main reasons why the oppressive effects of the many Crimson Knights’ aura did not put them in a dire situation was because they were divided, some were on Snow, and most of them were for their Master.
Their Master bore most of the impact, thus Snow and Little Gorilla recognized his sacrifice.
"Master! You were so strong and cool!" Snow cheered.
