Chapter 399 Importance Of Experience
At that moment his gaze shifted to the other side of the open cavern where Sadness and the other adventurers were.
'But... I shouldn't try to waste time training right now. I should prioritize saving them...' He reluctantly made his mind up on that.
"Go! Panixu!" Lyrian exclaimed, as Panixu closed his eyes and exhaled a deep breath.
"Throw whatever fucking summon you want at me. If you think you can get past me, you're another level of retarded." Anger exclaimed, running up to Panixu who still had his eyes closed.
"You don't get to prepare in a real fight, damn panda!" He roared, slashing his scimitar at the panda from the side.
Just before it reached Panixu's skin, the panda's eyes flew open. They were blue, symbolizing the monkey form of Panda Kung Fu.
Although it didn't apply to Lyrian, whenever Panixu used Panda Kung Fu, his eyes would change in color according to what form he was in. Pink was the crane, red was the tiger, blue was the monkey, green was the snake, and golden—the dragon.
Panixu leaned back swiftly, causing the blade to just miss him. However, it still trimmed the tips of some of his belly hair.
With that, Panixu pushed himself up using his hands and delivered a devastating kick into Anger's stomach using both feet.
Anger hadn't expected to actually be hit, so he was completely caught off guard by this.
He was sent flying across the cavern, landing on top of one of the broken pillars in the cavern. The pillar slowly crumbled into dust, as Anger shook his head and regained his composure while getting up.
"Rr... you won't get me like that again!" He roared, rushing the panda.
At that moment, the two shared a series of powerful blows. Anger swung from different angles, using his blade and fighting technique to its full capacity.
However, Panixu's unpredictable and almost hysterical movements during the clash made it impossible for him to be hit.
'Faster...' Lyrian thought to himself, wanting this fight to progress more.
"Take this! Flame Wheel!" He raised his hand and unleashed his attack. A wheel of flame quickly gathered in front of him, steamrolling toward Anger violently.
However, Anger quickly turned and slammed his blade against the wheel of fire. It pushed him back several feet, but he too pushed back, causing for a stalemate.
"Rrah!" He grunted, and with one final push, he dissipated Lyrian's flame wheel.
'Damn... he can deal with something like that with such ease. I wish I got to fight him myself.' Lyrian mused, slightly regretful. Still, he wasn't upset with the decision he made.
At that moment, Anger charged toward Panixu once more. His speed was fast, but not as fast as the panda's. He attempted to thrust his blade forward, but Panixu dodged it with a swift sidestep.
"Dumbass." Anger said scornfully in a low tone. He used the momentum of Panixu moving left to then move to the right, circling behind the panda.
Before Panixu knew it, he felt a blade begin to slice at his back. He quickly jumped forward, creating space between him and Anger. He panted while looking at his opponent—a slight gash in his back that was still bleeding.
Anger said as he saw Panixu's reaction, "Good! Be scared, you fat bear. Even though you are naturally strong... those born with power aren't rulers. You don't have the experience to back up that strength."
At that moment, Osikae skidded across the cavern floor like a rock thrown across a body of water. He came to a sliding stop as he clutched his blade and slowly returned to his feet. Wiping the blood on the side of his mouth, he faced Sadness with a determined glare.
'This creature... it's not human. I don't know how to describe it... but it's almost as if it was made solely for combat and nothing else.' He thought to himself as he faced Sadness.
Speaking of which, Sadness still hadn't shown on his face. The ripped cloth that he wore on his lanky torso covered his hands as if they were oversized. He moved slowly most of the time, yet acted fast in times of need.
"I really don't want to hurt people. It's a horrible thing, you know? Makes me... want to shed a tear." Sadness exclaimed at that moment.
"Silence! Brute!" Solvir exclaimed, slamming the head of his axe into the ground beside him.
Osikae looked at Solvir, who had been fighting alongside him while the others looked after Rothis.
"You killed so many people in this village, and you dare to speak about it being a horrible thing!? Don't think for even a moment that we will believe those words!" Solvir made his case clear.
However, at that moment, the two adventurers saw a stream of tears come from Sadness' face and fall to the ground.
"It... truly is so sad." The dark-blue-skinned man spoke in a devastated tone as if he was actually crying.
For a moment, Solvir's stern expression mellowed and his furrowed brows loosened.
He was only human, and for that reason, for only 1/100th of a second, he felt empathy for Sadness.
"Bad move." Sadness said at that moment, suddenly appearing in front of Solvir as if he was using teleportation.
Solvir's eyes widened in shock as he attempted to raise his shield. However, before he could do that, Sadness had already punctured his chest with his nails.
Since his hands were hidden in his oversized sleeves, his 12-
inch long razor-sharp nails were invisible to the naked eye.
At that moment Osikae charged forward, swinging at Sadness.
Sadness disappeared and then reappeared a few feet away.
"Do not let down your guard..." He said as Solvir fell flat on his back.
