Chapter 53: Aleas Fighting Style (1/2)
”So, how about this area?” asked Alea while running toward the northeast. ”This area is filled with Level 51-60 Elite Rank Monsters, so I think this is good for you right now. And it's not too low for me to showcase my ability to you.
”After knowing my fighting style, we will hunt together to find the best pattern we can do as a team. How about it?”
Theo narrowed his eyes and nodded. ”Well, the area is only one hour away from the training camp, so I think it's a good place.”
”That's good. Let's go then.”
The two traveled by foot. Although the journey took a bit longer, they still had an hour left before lunchtime, so Alea offered a suggestion. ”I want to find a group of monsters… Probably more than five.”
”It's up to you.” Theo shrugged as he remembered that Alea managed to kill fifty Elite Rank Bats by herself, albeit the last one almost killed him.
They ran for a while until reaching their destination. Since Theo never came to this place, he was surprised to see the area was a prairie.
”This… Won't it be easy for the monsters to spot us?” asked Theo while scanning the area.
”Yes, but the same applies for both of us. Don't worry. Even though the grass around here reaches our knees, the data has confirmed that no small monsters like a snake or whatever appears, so I think it's relatively safe to rely on our eyes. Of course, I will be spreading my awareness the whole time. You know about it, right?”
”Yes.” Theo nodded with a serious expression and noticed a small hill on their right. ”How about we climb that hill before lunch? Not only can we get a good grasp of this place, but there are a few buffalos on the way there.”
”Alright. Let's go then. I will trust your decision.” Alea agreed without hesitation as she started running. ”Seven buffalos spotted. You stay here first and watch how I fight, okay?”
Theo nodded while taking out his Skylink to check their status.
Name: Rhino Buffalo
Level: 51-56
A three-horned buffalo powered with speed and power. Don't touch their horns as it is sharp like a spear.
”Hmm…” Theo thought for a moment and stared at the black-skinned buffalos. The two curved horns seemed to be able to pierce his body, but the most dangerous one might be the one in the middle. ”The size is the same as a regular buffalo, but…”
Finding Alea coming toward them, the buffalos roared as they made a ”V” formation. If Alea leaped to the side, she would just get rammed, so this should be enough to stop her movement.
Instead of changing her direction, she chose to charge toward them.
When he was about to call her a fool, she took one step to the right. The buffalos noticed it and slightly tweaked the direction, so the one in the middle could hit her.
”Too late.” Theo clenched his teeth, knowing that Alea didn't have enough time to avoid them.
This was where Alea proved him wrong. She never had any intention to dodge.
After taking that step that completely killed her momentum, she spun her body to regain her balance, aligned herself with the center buffalo and slashed it into two.
”What?!” Theo dropped his jaw. His eyes were wide open. ”Did she just fake that movement to throw their balance off and end it with one strike, but why? She could've done it without a fake.”
