459: 340 459: 340 Lord Bear certainly couldnât be unaware of the other partyâs intentions, but he didnât say anything.
After all, this was part of their duty, and it probably wouldnât have been effective for him to speak up and drive them away.
However, since she had chosen to take the risk, if they really did encounter any danger later, he wouldnât have the spare energy to help.
By now, those five monsters had successively approached, most of which were like the small flowerpot creature from before, not large in size and seemingly fragile.
Only the one at the very back was a bit bigger, looking like a washbasin.
Lord Bearâs gaze locked onto one of them, and he slightly rotated the long spear in his hand, pointing it forward, before suddenly dashing forward with a step.
This unlucky little Ete, being at the front, naturally became the first target of his attack.
âHiss~â
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh rang out, and the monster was instantly impaled by Lord Bearâs long spear.
Although this Extraordinary Level Mystical Crystal weapon wasnât as sharp as the Mountain and River Sword, it was certainly not something an ordinary Mortal Weapon could compare with.
The little Ete, having suffered such damage, didnât even have the chance to enter Fury, as its core was already pierced.
With a body already fragile, it thrashed twice before going still.
Lord Bear was now using the Spirit Detection Technique, and he could see clearly where these monstersâ weaknesses lay.
Not only that, but he had also enhanced his Constitution, which increased his precision significantly.
Hitting this group of slow-moving creatures was just too easy.
Meanwhile, the speakers in the square, which were playing music, also suddenly paused.
Then, they automatically switched to a very rhythmical song, as if providing a soundtrack to Lord Bearâs battle.
âIâm not afraid~~â
Lord Bear withdrew his spear and thrust it towards another Ete, instantly piercing the target.
âI win every battle~â
Lord Bear pulled back the spear, and with a sweeping blow, he sliced the third Ete into two.
âI came out of the dark~â
The fourth monster also charged up, only to meet the same fate as its predecessors with its core being instantly annihilated.
âJust to kill all the evils in the world!!!â
The last monster, the size of a washbasin, approached.
It seemed slightly more resilient, not being killed in one hit, but after suffering two consecutive piercing attacks from Lord Bear, it too bit the dust.
However, the battle didnât end there.
Perhaps because of Lord Bear, the Awakenerâs arrival, all the other monsters that had been hiding started to stir.
They began to shed their outer shells, revealing the grey tissue underneath.
This time, the size of the monsters was much larger than the small flowerpots from before, with two of them being about the same size as the one Aaron and his group had encountered in the police station.
The sight of these dozen or so monsters emerging from their shells was nothing short of shocking, leaving the policewoman and the three students beside them dumbfounded, almost subconsciously wanting to turn and run.
âQuick, letâs goâotherwise, itâll be too late once they come over~â
A freckle-faced boy stammered out.
âAmal, you coward⊠if you want to go, then go⊠I wonât leave!â
The boy with blue-dyed hair at the front retorted, though his voice seemed to lack confidence.
There was a girl next to them, holding a camera and recording the scene unfolding before her eyes.
The camera had been brought to record the happy times during the Milk Festivalâs night of revelry, but unexpectedly, instead of capturing joyous moments, they had stumbled upon this inconceivable event.
Fortunately, the trip with the camera wasnât in vain, as it ended up being useful at the crucial moment.
The music continued to play, and after the intro, it had now reached the chorusâs climax.
âI once stabbed a dagger into a werewolfâs heart~â
âAlthough I have been forgottenâŠâ
âBut now, Iâm back!â
As this passionate chorus erupted, Lord Bear also sprang into action.
He had already planned his attack route in his mind, and seeing the monsters approaching one by one, he immediately charged out to hunt them down.
Lord Bear moved exceptionally fast, hardly ever engaging in prolonged battles with the monsters.
Knowing the nature of the beasts, his attacks were always aimed at their vital spots, trying to prevent them from entering a fury state.
This tactic proved very effective.
Although these ten new monsters were much larger than the previous small potted plants in every aspect.
But when faced with core damage, they still lacked the power to fight back.
Against Lord Bearâs assault, fierce as torrential rain, they fell almost instantly.
If these monsters could communicate with each other, they would probably be interacting frantically by now, as this kind of behavior has a descriptive term in games, known as âThe Calabash Brothers save Grandpa.â
In recent times, while at the Star Alliance, Lord Bear had not been idle.
While training a few members of the Light Blue Clan, he also didnât neglect his own progress.
Although he couldnât learn the legendary martial arts, whenever he had time, he practiced combat with the Star Knight summoned by Zhang Xiaoman and learned quite a few skills from them.
These skills proved to be very practical for close combat, devoid of any flashy but impractical movesâeach one was deadly.
It was only because the Star Guard wouldnât teach him that Lord Bear had to rely solely on his own understanding.
Otherwise, he felt his strength would be even greater by now.
However, even in a situation where he was fighting under a motivating BGM, Lord Bear gradually found himself in a difficult position.
The first few monsters were easy to deal with, but as time went on, the monsters came at him faster and more frequently, and he was starting to struggle to cope.
âAh!
Watch out!â
The policewoman cried out in alarm.
In front of her, a monster was stealthily attacking Lord Bear from behind.
Looking at its sharp teeth, if it bit down, the consequences would undoubtedly be dire.
âBang!!â
A sudden gunshot rang out, causing the attacking monster to stumble backwards several steps.
Busy as he was, Lord Bear glanced back and saw it was Aaron and Bena from the police station.
âFilthy monsters, go to hell!â
Bena held the Chris shotgun, and it was she who had made the shot.
âI want revenge for my parents!
You demons, die!â
She screamed, pulling the trigger once again.
âBang!â
âBang!â
âBang!â
A series of loud gunshots resounded, and the monster Ete, which had been shot and entered a state of fury, couldnât react in time and kept retreating as several large holes appeared on its body.
At that moment, Aaron joined the fight as well, attacking the same creature in unison with Bena, pouring a furious barrage of bullets into the unfortunate Ete.
Finally, under their crossfire, the monster gradually lost its energy, its eight legs went limp, and it collapsed, never to rise againâbeing shot to death by them.
Nearby, Lord Bear also took care of the last monster in front of him, and then glanced at the one just blasted by the shotgun, feeling a chill down his spine.
Whoa, those two were seriously reckless.
That was a shotgun!
Had that shot been just a bit higher, he might have been taken down with it.
