Capítulo 34: Chapter 34: Kusha Beast

Inside the Hone City Police Headquarters, a man with silver spiky hair can be seen seething in anger

"Bastard Craige, what's taking you so long? Is the number of death sill not enough for you?" The spiky-haired man said while grabbing the collar of the man named Craige

Craige looks like a normal human but a mysterious magic circle can be seen in his eyes. It was one of his mystic forms with great utility especially for the Police Department

"You're as impatient as always, Barry" Craige replied before casually removing the hand grabbing his collar

If Barry was like an erupting volcano, Craige on the other hand was as composed as a calm lake. It's like nothing in this world will earn a huge reaction on him

"How can I not be impatient? It's taking you longer than normal to order the Police to kill the monsters and fix the weak point" the man named Barry grabs Craige's collar again but the latter just swat his hand as if he was merely swatting a fly

"It's not like I don't want to issue the order, it's just that there are mystics currently fighting the monsters. When I check the records, they are newly promoted Hunters. Because of them, not enough people have died and if I issue the order now, the higher-ups will nag at me again" Craige said with a sigh before waving his hand and a projection of what is happening at the weak point appeared

"Y-you... how can you always be calm when people we can save are dying?!" The calm reaction of Craige never failed to irritate Barry. It was like the humans he was talking about don't have feelings and family that loves them

This kind of reaction was very typical of Barry and Craige wasn't faze at all. "It's not like I don't care. The problem is I can't do anything. Even if I help save those people then what will we do if our population reaches a point where our food won't be enough?"

Barry understands the logic behind Craige's words but he still can't accept it. Although this was really benefiting mankind, how can he easily stomach the thought of people dying even though he can do something about it?

"Anyway, these Hunters are fighting the monsters. Since they are new and might not know the unwritten rules yet, the government won't take drastic action against them. But to make an example and warn other professional mystics, they might be sent into a dangerous mission after this. Too bad, there is even one of them that can use spiral power"

Spiral power.... that is not too rare for veteran Hunters but for the newbies, that is enough to gather some attention to them. If they managed to give a good performance, organizations or powerful families might even try to recruit them

Hearing that a newbie uses spiral power, Barry's interest was piqued and he watched that particular mystic

Near the weak point in the barrier, Nath and Keon were still fighting the Kusha Beast while Mady and Gabe were making sure that no other monsters will interfere in the fight

After the failed attack, Nath moved away a bit from the Kusha Beast and moved his hands in front of him

The sword tattoo in Nath's forehead made from light glowed brighter and the tattoo even spreads some lines on his forehead

Nath's own power and the power he gained for using spiral power gathered in his hands and from it, a three meters long light sword was formed

The sword was quite heavy even for Nath but his eyes were unyielding. He wants nothing rather than to kill this Kusha Beast and save more humans

Nath charged at the beast once again while his foot left a mark on the ground. The Kusha Beasts uses its metalized tongue again but this time, it splits into three

Nath swung his sword angrily and the tongues were deflected with him even severing one of the split tongues. The beast issued angry roars but before it can even do something about Nath, it still needs to take care of one more person

Keon made three cards above him but this time, the cards are much larger than before. It was as big as half of the average human size

The cards turned into three different colors and they fired powerful rays

The cards fired rays of fire, wind, and electricity. In mid-air, the three different elements even combined with each other resulting in an attack that has more lethality

The Kusha Beast felt threatened by these combined rays and it slammed its feet in the ground. A two-meter tall metal wall suddenly rose from the ground and it blocks Keon's attack

The metal wall trembled and as if it will be broken anytime soon but it successfully blocks Keon's attack

However, Nath uses that chance to approach the Kusha Beast. Despite the heavy weight of his three meters long sword, Nath's moving speed was still fast and he reached the side of the beast

Seeing Nath that cut a part of its tongue, the Kusha Beasts was angered and it met the man's sword with its metalized claws

Sparks flew around as Nath's sword and the beast's claws met. They were in a stalemate as no one can gain any advantage over the other

Fortunately, Keon was also present. He threw three cards below the Kusha Beast and the ground around it moves. Pieces of rocks rose from the ground and stick with the beast's body binding it in his place

The ground covered the entirety of the beast's lower body and it was unable to exert full power over its arm

As a result, Nath finally managed to pierce the metalized hand of the beasts and blood trickled down from it

Without a stop, Keon charges at the beast with his sword. While running towards the enemy, two cards stick to Keon's sword and coated it with metal

Reaching the Kusha Beasts, Keon stabs his sword from its back. He was met with strong resistance as the beast's body was too durable but he gritted his teeth and continued piercing the beast

The Kusha Beast violently thrashed around and Kreon's warning resounded in Keon's mind

With the help of Kreon controlling their bodily reflex, Keon managed to jump away but he was not able to warn Nath in time

In the ground around the Kusha beasts, sharp-pointed metals grew. Keon was safe as he dodged the metal but Nath wasn't as lucky

Nath managed to erect a bit of defense before the sharp metal pierces it but it was not enough. He only managed to prevent the metal from hitting a vital spot

Still, Nath's left leg was pierced by the metal to the point the metal's end can be seen behind him

"Nath!" Keon's face darkened and in his anger, ten cards in total appeared behind him

Keon can suddenly sense the River of Possibilities again and he instinctively draws some power from it. His aura rose and the amount of energy Keon is controlling also increases

Due to Keon treating Nath as his real friend, after seeing the man got injured, he managed to access the River of Possibilities and draw power from it and that is the spiral power!

Nath also can't believe that he became this careless. Doesn't he vow to protect humanity and prevent anyone from dying? How can he do that when a mere Kusha Beast already pushed him into this kind of situation?

Nath can't even protect himself, how can he protect other people?

The unwillingness to be weak causes Nath to gather more power from the River of Possibilities and he gathered it into his sword

This time, Nath didn't increase his sword's size. Instead, he condensed the huge amount of energy into a normal size sword and went to attack the Kusha Beast with it

At the same time, Keon also finished charging his attack and from the ten cards, snakes of electricity came out. They combined into a single thick streak before condensing into a much smaller size

One sword and one snake of lightning attack the Kusha Beast at the same time. The combo attack didn't give the Kusha Beast the chance to defend and two large holes appeared in its body

More gray blood was sprayed around and the Kusha Beasts fell down the ground as dead as it can be

As soon as the beast died, Nath felt a sense of powerlessness and he was forced to kneel on the ground while coughing out blood. He uses too much power that he normally doesn't have. Outside, his only injury is from his leg but he has more internal injuries

Even Keon can feel a huge sense of fatigue in his body. He didn't use as much spiral power as Nath but he still uses some. It puts a burden on his body and he won't be able to fight for a longer time

However, as if fate wants to play a cruel trick in them, the unfixed weak point in the barrier let another stream of monsters enter the Hombre realm

The monsters are even the same as the ones that the two just killed. They are a horde of Kusha Beasts!
