Chapter 190 : The attack of the beastman was incredibly fast. In an instant, the bone dagger was alr

The attack of the beastman was incredibly fast. In an instant, the bone dagger was already before Bloed's neck.

However, Bloed's reaction was not any slower. Before the dagger could touch him, his saber appeared before it.

*Ting!*

With a metallic sound, the saber and the dagger clashed, and the dagger was cut into two.

The young beastman did not seem disappointed due to failing in his attack, though. In fact, he linked his next attack immediately.

Just after he threw the dagger, he kicked the ground and rushed towards Bloed while clenching a bone dagger on each hand!

His movements were incredibly swift. In terms of pure speed, he was at the very least one level above Bloed.

Bloed knew that if he tried to compete with the young beastman in speed, he would definitively lose.

But Bloed was not foolish enough to pit his weakness against his opponent's strength.

When the young beastman was half a meter away from Bloed, his expression changed.

He then hurriedly kicked the ground, jumping aside in fright.

At almost the same time, the ground seemed to come alive, trying to trap him!

It was Leto!

The wolf had turned into metallic sand that covered the ground, and when the young beastman stepped on it, it acted.

In an instant, Leto turned into a giant mouth that swallowed the beastman!

No matter how quick the beastman was, he was unable to escape Leto in that situation.

Metallic sand wrapped around his body, tightly holding his legs, waist, and arms and stopping his movements!

At the same time, a powerful electric current attacked his body!

The young beastman's face distorted. He felt his body becoming heavy, and his nerves were paralyzed.

At this rate, he would be completely defeated before the next second pa.s.sed!

But in the next instant, the situation changed completely.

The mana inside the beastman's body surged outward, creating a powerful shockwave that pushed Leto's sand away.

At the same time, the beastman charged in Bloed's direction, trying to deal with him directly.

But to his surprise–

"Huh?"

Bloed was not there.

He could not see his figure anywhere.

Stealth!

Bloed had used the stealth device to hide from his enemy.

But it was not all. While the young beastman was surprised by Bloed's disappearance, the metallic sand charged again towards him.

Like a world-swallowing monster, the metallic sand turned into a giant wolf head that tried to swallow him!

Aware of the danger of the sand, the young beastman jumped away, but the sand continued attacking him restlessly, slowly cornering him.

In fact, the metallic sand had surrounded him completely. The only reason it had not trapped him yet was that he was constantly using his mana shockwave attack to push it away.

Despite it, however, the metallic sand had managed to limit his movements to a small circle.

And that was enough for Bloed.

With a thought, the eye floating above the battlefield lit up, then, the eye aimed at the young beastman.

In the next instant, tens of energy bullets were shot at the same time, attacking everything in ten meters around the young beastman.

Almost instantly, the young beastman felt an intense sense of danger coming from above him.

Instinctively, he grabbed the bow in his back and nocked an arrow, shooting it in direction of Oculus.

*Boom!*

Both the bullets and the arrow impacted at the same time.

An explosion shook the place where the beastman was standing, and simultaneously, the arrow hit Oculus head-on.

A giant hole appeared on Oculus, and its stealth faded out. Moreover, it was forced to stop shooting!

As for the beastman, he was panting heavily with small burns in his arms and legs.

In the instant when Oculus's bullets. .h.i.t him, he twisted his body to avoid as many bullets as he could. As for the bullets he could not avoid, he made sure to receive them in the non-lethal parts of his body.

Moreover, he filled his body with mana beforehand, using it to stop the damage caused by the bullets.

Each bullet of Oculus's suppression mode had the same strength as Bloed's gun in its normal mode.

Thus, although they were powerful, they were made to defeat the enemy with numbers. Someone with a strong body and st.u.r.dy defenses could manage to stop some of them.

Just like the young beastman. He managed to receive Oculus's bullets with barely any damage.

In the clash between Oculus and the young beastman, the young beastman was the winner.

Bloed was surprised. He was sure that not even an Rank could have escaped his last attack so easily.

Part of the reason was that the young beastman managed to locate and hit the invisible Oculus as soon as it started to shot. Such a feat was unbelievable!

But unfortunately for the young beastman, his attack was far from enough to defeat Bloed's machines.

Before he could celebrate destroying the eye in the sky, the young beastman saw how the eye reformed itself, becoming whole an instant later and then twisting the light around it, hiding from sight and ready to attack again.

Yes, just like t.i.to and Leto, Oculus had the ability to reform itself!

While the young beastman was surprised by the scene of the eye regenerating, Leto's sand mode turned into a wave that tried to engulf him.

The young beastman furrowed his brows.

He was in a seemingly hopeless situation. Not only he was being attacked by the wave of metallic sand, but he also had to pay attention to the possible attacks coming from the eye in the sky.

Plus, even now, he did not know where Bloed was.

But despite having the odds against him, the young beastman remained calm.

His face was completely indifferent and his movements were calm. He seemed like a predator ready to pounce on his prey.

And suddenly, incredibly powerful killing intent surged out of his body.

Then–

*ROOOAAAAARRR!!!*

He roared, and everything stopped.

The roar was a technique that mixed his mana with his killing intent. It created an intimidating pressure that stunned his enemies.

Even Bloed was stunned for a brief instant after hearing that roar.

And as though waiting for that opportunity, the young beastman moved.

Crouching his body, he kicked the ground and advanced at incredible speed in Bloed's direction!

Somehow, he had managed to locate Bloed.

Mana surged from the young beastman's body. The man covered his body and created a cougar-like figure that clashed against Leto's sand and pushed it away.

In less than one second, the young beastman was in front of Bloed with his daggers ready!

Bloed was inwardly astonished. He did now know how the beastman found him when he was in stealth.

His gaze met with his enemy's, instantly feeling the hidden ferocity in the young beastman's eyes.

It was as though he was declaring Bloed's death sentence.

The young beastman was sure he had Bloed this time. After all, the style of battle Bloed had shown until now was that of a long-range fighter.

But he underestimated Bloed.

When the young beastman's daggers were about to touch Bloed's skin, Bloed's twisted his body.

His blue eyes lit up brightly, and his body moved as though he could read the young beastman's movements.

Then, his saber flashed, cutting towards the young beastman's chest.

And blood flowed on the battlefield.
