Chapter 58: Battling a 6-star Monster

While Yale observed how Wyba happily ate the black wolf’s flesh, Kermu started to talk with him.

“I suspected it when you were battling those weak monsters, but you really reached the expert stage, right?”

Yale wasn’t surprised that Kermu had noticed it because he also detected Kermu’s level.

“Indeed, I reached it just before coming here. I can sense that you also reached it.”

Kermu was indeed worthy of being a genius from a noble clan, reaching the expert stage at such young age wasn’t common.

“We should have some sparring after coming out of the special realm, finding someone of my generation who also reached the expert stage is far too difficult.”

“I will be glad to have some sparring with you.”

As both of them liked to compare their respective sword techniques with others at their same level, sparring was a must.

However, the special realm wasn’t a good place for sparring.

As in the previous battle, all the guys had received some injuries, Serka started to heal them.

As Yale was also a healer, she left him to the end.

However, she didn’t expect to find Yale fully recovered without a single scratch.

“Your ability to healing yourself is far higher than the one you used before on Wyba. You really didn’t need any healing.”

The injuries from the battle weren’t serious, so the Auto-recovery skill healed them very quickly.

Sadly, even if they had killed a 5-star monster, there was no reward for them.

The group could only continue to search for more powerful beasts.

The next powerful monster they found was still sleeping when they saw it.

Usually, that would be an excellent target for a sneak attack.

However, they didn’t dare to attack, because it was a 6-star monster.

Battling such a mighty monster needed careful preparation, they couldn’t do it like in the battle with the previous black wolf.

They had put their hopes in that monster; if they didn’t gain anything after the battle, they would leave the zone and went to try to get the good fortune in another area.

The 6-star mortal real was the limit for the beasts, and anyone at that realm could be considered an overlord in the forest zone.

If even by beating such overlord they didn’t obtain anything, the chances of obtaining anything from others were to low for the risk.

That 6-star monster was an enormous eagle.

If that kind of monster relied on flying, the group would have no chance to win as eagles were too fast in the air.

Thus, Yale and Kermu would go all out to harm the eagle’s wings.

Serka would focus on healing only serious injuries, and Hyrk would be the one catching the eagle’s attention after it wakes up.

Nurvey would remain in the back casting support spells; Yale had already tasted their efficiency, and they made a difference in battle.

The first attack was the most important of all, injuring the eagle’s wings could change the flow of battle completely. Thus, Yale and Kermu went all out in their attacks.

Kermu was using some kind of Combined Skill which Yale didn’t understand, but he didn’t doubt about its power.

Yale directly used Water Battle Armor combined with Spark like in his battle with Heruk.

However, as Yale had two real swords, both ice swords had the same power, one of them wasn’t pure magic like before.

Yale hit the eagle’s left wing at the same time Kermu hit the one in the right side.

The impact awakened the eagle, but even if the wing were somewhat hurt, the damage wasn’t enough to avoid that the eagle from starting to fly.

At least, the eagle’s mobility in the air had diminished due to the injuries, but the situation was still dangerous as the eagle wasn’t enough injured.

Yale changed to his bow reinforcing it with the Water Battle Armor and started to shot ice rapiers to the eagle. He didn’t want to shot with real swords as he may need to use them later.

Hyrk started to attract the eagle’s attention by hitting its head with a big jump he managed to do thanks to Nurvey’s spell boost.

Kermu also didn’t waste time and slashed his sword generating a mighty wind blade that hit the eagle.

The eagle made a shriek as it received all the attacks, Hyrk’s one was the most direct of all, but the one who inflicted most damage was Kermu’s attack.

That wind blade wasn’t made only from wind; it also merged the space element on it.

However, even Kermu didn’t seem to have full control of that spell as he looked exhausted after the attack, he lost the capacity of moving for some seconds after using that skill.

The eagle was enraged and attacked with all its strength hitting the three guys, the one who got the worst part was Hyrk as was too near to the eagle.

Kermu also was injured, but he could still battle to the eagle after the immobility from the previous skill faded.

Yale avoided damage thanks to the Water Battle Armor, but it dispersed in exchange, and his newly acquired bow also broke in pieces.

Serka started to heal Hyrk while Yale had to battle alone with the eagle.

Battling wasn’t a good definition to it, as Yale was only avoiding the eagle’s attacks thanks to the agility enhancement spell he received from Nurvey. There was no way he could beat the eagle alone; he needed to win time until the other two were recovered.

Winning time wasn’t a bad strategy, but the eagle had better battle sense than they had imagined, it chose to attack Serka who was healing Hyrk instead of continuing pursuing Yale.

The attack was blocked by a shield spell cast by Nurvey, but the eagle as if didn’t care about it, charged towards Nurvey at full power.

Nurvey had just used a powerful spell and was in her weakest state; she wasn’t able to create another shield before getting hit.

The hit hurt Nurvey, but even if she tried to defend Wyba, the little wolf was also heavily injured, her defenses were too weak compared to the others, Nurvey’s injuries wasn’t deep.

“The user’s beast has been deathly injured; it would die in a few minutes without proper treatment.”

Yale face changed as he heard the system’s notification.

“Database Search, methods of healing Wyba’s injuries without needing any special medicines.”

Yale wasn’t able to remain calm after Wyba received such injuries, so he decided to rely on the Database Search to find the best solution.

“There are only two methods in the database to heal the beast without relying on special medicines. The first one is to use Time Healing for five seconds. The other one was to feed the beast with blood from a monster far more powerful than it while using Time Healing for one second.”

Those were the only two methods available with the information contained in the Database Search and the first one was impossible to accomplish for Yale.

Yale had only one option, kill the eagle and use its blood to feed Wyba while healing her.

Before anyone could say anything to Yale, they saw that his expression changed, at that moment, he was even more inexpressive than Nurvey.

At that moment, Yale only wanted to save Wyba no matter the price; thus he decided to make a big bet.

The eagle sensed Yale’s cold killing intent and charged towards him, but Yale didn’t try to avoid the incoming attack.

Instead, he jumped towards the descending eagle with his swords in both hands covered by sparks of lightning.

“The user upgraded the Battle Skill [Sparkling sword] to Level 4.”

Yale’s use of the thunder element had improved a lot since he saw Swordmad’s thunder sword for the first time.

He had trained it for some time in the Swordmad, and after being in a difficult situation, the skill finally leveled up once more.

However, even with that upgrade, the skill wasn’t enough to save him from the incoming attack.

Yale stabbed both swords in the eagle’s body with all his strength, but a second later his teammates saw how he was turned into meat paste by the eagle’s attack.

At first, they thought that Yale wanted to exchange his life with the eagle’s life to revenge Wyba, but what they saw a moment later let them stunned.

Yale had reappeared in his previous mid-air position completely unharmed.

At that moment, Yale was in a higher position than the eagle, and he used the gravity force to throw a big Ice Spear towards the eagle’s back.

The eagle was still a bit numb due to the electricity in the swords Yale had stabbed into it before.

The Ice Spear was unexpected to it, and with its reactions slowed by the numbness, the eagle couldn’t avoid being thrown to the ground, where Kermu used his most potent skill again to attack at its neck to finish it.

Kermu’s attack had broken the eagle’s neck and ended its life.
