Chapter 123: Harm and Good
ROARRR!
The Magical Beast was known as a Fidar. It was a large bear-like creature with four arms and multiple rows of jagged teeth that gleamed in the blue moonlight as it roared loudly! The beast had dark red skin with black marks running down the side and its eyes locked on the Magic Hound as it salivated hungrily! Just from looking at it, it would be easy to guess that the Fidar was almost strong enough to be an Eldritch Rank Boss from an Orange Gate! The Fidar’s diet consisted of other Magical Beasts and the scent of the Magic Hound had attracted it from a far distance away! It was already prepared to kill all the phantoms so it could eat the Magic Hound!
The five men who were following behind the Magic Hound eyed the Fidar with sharp, empty eyes before they each reached behind them and grabbed different items! One of them brought out three balls and threw them on the ground and they exploded in smoke that covered the entire region and blocked the sight of the Fidar! Three of the men immediately ran forward as the Fidar roared in agitation and began to run towards them as well!
The three men watched the way the smoke moved around the Fidar and they were able to dodge the Fidar just before it could slam into them! The Fidar swiped through the air angrily and the three men all moved around the Fidar’s swings without even trying! Their faces were covered with black cloths, but their exposed eyes were set in a look of perfect focus as they produced long binding wire from behind them!
The three men all threw their binding wire towards the Fidar! Two of them threw the wire at the Fidar’s hands and the third man threw his wire towards the Fidar’s neck and wrapped it in the tough thread before pulling it tight and locking the beast in place!
The Fidar immediately tried to pry the wire away with its extra arms, but it was forced to turn back to the front as it saw another man appear in front of it! This man ran towards the Fidar with unbelievable agility as he held a sharp sword to the side! The Fidar roared and tried to swipe the man out of the way with its extra arms, but the man easily leaped over the arm before ducking and under and second swing and finally vanishing into a shadow at the side! The Fidar’s eyes widened in shock as the man vanished and it was unprepared for the man to suddenly appear from another shadow behind him!
SLASH!
The man left a long cut along the Fidar’s back with his sword and the Fidar roared in agitation as it felt its back burn intensely! The men holding the Fidar down all planted their feet into the ground and held on tight as the Fidar began to thrash around angrily! The Fidar was on the same level as an A-Rank superhuman, but each of the men was also close to being an A-Rank, so they were capable of holding their own against the beast and preventing it from dragging its arm away!
The Fidar’s fighting grew more and more frantic as it felt something strange happening in its body and it wasn’t long before its fighting suddenly began to reduce in intensity. Once the men saw that the Fidar was slowing down, they released their binding wire and wrapped it up before moving to join the other man standing close to the Magic Hound.
The Fidar tried to attack the men again, but it was incapable of moving freely. Its vision was swimming and it staggered on its feet before it fell to the ground. Its breath came out in harsh puffs and its chest was barely moving as it struggled to force air into its lungs. These signs made it obvious that the Fidar had been poisoned! The single cut along the Fidar’s back had already started to turn black and the five men led the Magic Hound to keep moving as they left the Fidar behind!
