Chapter 573 Clearing out the Woods (2)

Looking out at the massive armadillo beast that he had found; Marcus was certainly impressed by its size and appearance.

Unlike a normal armadillo like he had seen back on earth. in addition to its huge size, it had spikes all over its outer armor, and its tail ended in a thick club.

‘Level forty-seven. Definitely a pretty tough beast, but still not much of a problem for me.’

‘Laser.’

Firing off his tier four light magic spell, he expected to pierce right through this armadillo beast’s head, but it reacted faster than he thought it could.

The second it felt his hostility, it curled up into a ball in the blink of an eye, and surprisingly its armor deflected his laser spell.

‘Oh, it looks to have some pretty high magic resistance. Been awhile since I fought something like this.’.

Looking at where his laser spell had impacted, he could see that while it had been deflected, the armor around the area it hit did have noticeable cracks in it.

The armadillo then turned its body towards Marcus and began spinning rapidly, before launching at him like a spiked wreaking ball.

However, before he made any move to evade or counter, Roxene engaged instead. Activating her Paragon of the Divine Wolf Supreme skill and growing much larger.

She was now a match for this armadillo in size, and with claws outstretched and an aura of darkness around her, she crashed into the charging beast.

For a few moments she was pushed back, but even sixteen levels lower her power was greater and she soon stopped her opponent’s charge.

At her level she was unrivaled, and when she used her supreme skill, she could easily content with creatures twenty to thirty levels higher than herself depending on their quality.

And unfortunately, as just a rare grade beast this armadillo stood no chance against Roxene, who stood at the pinnacle of the mythic grade.

Opening her mouth wide she bit down hard into the thick armor plating of the huge armadillo and crushed right through it.

Her teeth were as sharp as they came and her jaw strong enough to crush even the strongest substances.

Blood began pouring out of its body as Roxene dug in deeper, and the creature let out a pained screech that was hard on the ears.

Still, it was not dead yet, and unfurled itself in order to swing its club like tail around to try and bash Roxene away.

Yet before it could connect, she leapt into the air while still holding onto the armadillo in her mouth.

Then with a big swing of her neck she launched the large beast high into the air as it flailed around looking for anything it could grab ahold of.

Soon it crashed back down with a loud thud as its body imbedded itself deep into the ground.

Of course, that had not killed it, and in fact barely injured it at all. But it had immobilized and stunned it for a moment which was all Roxene needed.

Bounding towards it like a blur, she appeared right in front of the beast as it lay on its back stuck deep in the ground and helpless.

Aiming for its neck she bit down with all her strength ripped the armadillo’s throat out.

It began spasming as it started to lose blood quickly, and within just a matter of moments it went still as its life left it.

‘Do you feel better now?’ Marcus asked to Roxene.

‘Yes, I do. It has been too long since I have been able to fight anything with any substance. Though this one really only served as a warmup. I expect that you will let me take on some of the others which will hopefully pose more of a challenge.’

‘Yeah, that will not be a problem, but let me take out the next few a bit quicker. We need to at least hurry up and make sure the starting areas are safe so that Dagwood, as well as Andrea and her tribe can begin their parts. Now take me to the next closest one so we can wrap this up as soon as possible.’

Taking off deeper into the forest Marcus followed Roxene as she led him to the next powerhouse of a beast or monster, and he quickly began systematically annihilating them.

‘Looks like we finished right on time.’

Looking up into the sky Marcus could see that the sun was at its highest point, marking that it was time for the culling of the woods to really begin.

He had just taken care of the last high-level monster that had made its home in the starting areas, and now the others would be able to take on the weaker beasts without any worry about being ambushed by something they could not deal with.

‘Roxene, get back in my companion storage and I will take us back to the village to report our success. Then I can pick up our bait and we can move onto the other areas.’

Walking back over to him, Roxene jumped into his companion storage.

Now ready to go, Marcus launched back into the air and began flying swiftly towards the village.

When he arrived, her told Andrea that their starting areas had been cleared out and showed pieces of each corpse he had brought back as proof.

“Well, you heard her. It is time for us to do our jobs. Anything that could prove a threat is our target, so spread out and take care of these beasts and monster that think they can push us out of our woods.”

After Andrea gave her quick but rousing speech. The members of her tribe began cheering and ran into the woods to begin getting rid of the amassing beasts and monsters.

“Now then Davion. I will be requiring your services. I hope you can run fast. because I am going to need you to lure out plenty of beasts and monsters for me.” Marcus said with a devilish smile.

“Oh, and do not try to run away.” He said as he shot a laser spell right past Davion’s head.

“If you attempt to flee, I will end you in a second. So, prepare to fight with your life on the line, because it certainly will be.”
