Chapter 123 Mana Pressure Point 2
Anteloth and Armogeddon.
Two beats that could be the king of place if they want.
Two four-star beasts, each having their own type of magic.
Anteloth.
A deer-type monster that can use plant magic.
It is not a type of monster that appeared too frequently in the game, thanks to it being a very strong one, and it is pretty rare even in this world.
However, when it appeared, it was a very annoying enemy to deal with, thanks to its unique plant magic.
Because it could summon plants from the ground, the player needed to be very careful not to let his foot latch onto the ground. And you also needed to constantly be aware of those seeds the monster left on the ground, because they were explosive….
In many ways, this monster was a highly magic-oriented type.
At least, that\'s what players would think at the beginning until they got to taste those juicy damaging horns on its head.
Because, once you hit by them you would be swung like a leaf.
Adding Anteloth being agile on top of those qualities, it was a very annoying opponent in the game…
Well, at least it was an optional type of enemy, so you didn\'t have to fight with it if you didn\'t want, though, in the end, some players were obsessed with finishing the game with %100 achievements.
However, it is not the most cringe design in the game.
Definitely not.
Thanks to this monster in front of me.
Armogeddon.
It was a spiky monster that looked like a huge armadillo.
It was an armadillo, in fact.
Now, you might think, what can be wrong with this monster?
A lot of things can be wrong.
Firstly, this monster is an earth-attributed monster that mostly focuses on defense, as you may expect from an armadillo.
But, thanks to this monster being spiky, on top of its defenses being huge, it also has a unique type of attack pattern.
It literally bulldozes over you.
Like a truck or those machines from Earth that would flatten the roads, this monster would pass over the player, and if you couldn\'t evade the strike, then you would get one-shotted.
However, don\'t you dare to think this monster is slow or something?
No, just like this deer here, this monster is also another type of \'Strong Defense but Somehow Agile\' type….
However, there is one thing that would annoy at least half of the players, making this monster their strongest counter….
It is the fact that this monster\'s resistance against the physical attack.
Because if you engage in close combat with this guy, you would also be damaging yourself since this monster can grow its spikes with its earth magic, making the reflecting damage increase.
And to add salt to that, it can also pull the enemy towards himself with his earth magic making you engage a close combat with him…
\'Balanced\' would be all there to say….
Anyway, now that those two monsters were fighting in front of me, I would also need to wait for the opportunity to come since confronting them right on would not be a good idea.
Although I can beat them one on one, if two of them joined together, which would be most likely to happen, then I would be in a rough spot.
Therefore, waiting for an opportunity to come was a must which I was doing.
However, I wasn\'t staying idle this whole time.
No, in fact, I was preparing for a magic strike by channeling lightning particles around to my hand.
And it didn\'t take too long for the opportunity to present itself either.
/BOOM/
The moment I saw the Armogeddon charging its attack while spinning, I understood it was putting his strongest attack here.
And, the Anteloth was not backing away either.
\'Now is the chance.\'
With that thought, I grabbed my sword while my hand, which had the posture of a gun, was aiming toward the Armogeddon.
\'Extreme Thunder Arts. Lightning Nova.\'
"Bam."
/RUMBLE/
At that moment, suddenly, a sound of rumbling could be heard while a flash of lightning from the sky crashed the Armogeddon, burning him alive.
\'Annihilation Sword. Last Breath.\'
/SWOOSH/
And following the thunder attack, I bolted toward the Anteloth, attacking it with my sword.
/ROOOOOAR/
With a loud scream, the monster tried to fend off its pain, but not to any avail.
And, before the other monster could be alerted, I had already in front of him with blood dripping from the tip of my sword.
/THUD/
Not long after, the deer fell to the ground.
However, the Armogeddon was still alive.
"Annoying."
Muttering like that, I started condensing lightning mana on the tip of my finger.
"Bam!"
/CRACKLE/
And fired a simple lightning bolt.
/CIZZT/
Making the monster electrolyzed again while aiming for his receptors.
/SWOOSH/
\'Sword of Annihilation. Bladesurge.\'
And the moment I saw the monster opening its mouth because of its receptors being alerted with electricity, I dashed towards there.
/SPLURT/
Piercing through the monster, I reappeared behind it.
/THUD/
And with another thud sound, the monster fell to the ground losing its life.
With its eyes wide open, looking at me with hatred.
Those eyes were telling me that I fought like a coward, which I was, in fact.
Because I knew the moment I attacked like a brave guy, those two monsters would attack me, disregarding their honor.
This is how you survive in nature if you want, that is.
If you have pride that clouds your judgment, then sooner or later, you are bound to die, no matter how strong you are.
Because in this world where there are a lot of monsters lying beneath, there is bound to be one that can always rival to you.
Anyway, after I killed two four-star monsters, I grabbed their cores.
Although feeding them to Nihil might also be good, I need to save them for now.
They have their own use.
\'Now let\'s look at our loot, shall we.\'
Thinking that, I started walking to the place where I could see the mana fluctuations…..
