Chapter 160 The Rocky Gorge Incident (4)
At the sight of those creatures, Vicente's expression changed.
His tension was no longer slight, but seeing beings with offensive auras approaching him made him feel even worse.
He didn't want to have to fight magical beings before his enemies reached him!
'Tsk! Nothing ever goes according to plan!' He clenched his fists and stopped moving, looking seriously at those beasts.
Looking into the eyes of the three brown-furred creatures, Vicente remembered what he had learned at the Academy of Stars.
Magical creatures followed the same magical hierarchy as humans, who were able to awaken their powers and have Magic Gems.
However, the magical rules for these beings were somewhat different from those for humans. In fact, there were 'n' ways to explain powers, and you couldn't say that one rule worked for all magical beings.
Some magical beings had magician-like powers and could cast spells. Other beings simply had ridiculous amounts of mana and could use it to greatly enhance their physical attributes.
Some could have Magic Gems and Pentagrams, but they wouldn't have multiple abilities like humans. They would have a single ability that would evolve over time.
In short, there were all kinds of rules behind the powers of these beings. But in the case of the beasts like the ones Vicente was looking at now, most of them only had rich mana and, therefore, powerful bodies.
In the case of these monkeys, they were fast and had great physical versatility to fight like human Generals.
They were level 2 and 3 Acolytes, enough to cause problems for Vicente.
He clenched his fists, regretting that he had emptied almost all the bullets from his weapons earlier. Without many bullets left and not wanting to use them immediately, Vice saw that he could only use his skills to fight past these creatures.
As one of the creatures jumped at him with a clenched fist, preparing to strike, Vicente moved his hands and cast a spell based on the Earth element.
Immediately after, one of his gems glowed an intense yellow, the earth in front of him changed shape, and a barrier 8 centimeters wide appeared between him and his opponent.
This being's fist broke through the barrier Vicente had quickly erected, but he couldn't reach the young human and was trapped there.
'You are courting death!' Vicente grabbed the monkey's forearm, which was as big as the trunk of some of the trees in the area.
He activated his magnetic ability.
With such a large body, there was much more metallic mass in this body than in the body of a 70-kilogram human, as was the case with most humans in this world.
This being in front of Vicente weighed at least 280 kilograms!
If we were to do a simple calculation, he would have had four times as much metal in his body as a human.
Feeling that this individual was a bit like the ores he had used to extract metals in his training to become a 1st-stage blacksmith, Vicente mischievously smiled.
He clamped this hand over the monkey's forearm as he caused the metals in this furry creature's body to separate from the other atoms to which they were attached.
As the two weaker monkeys flew from branch to branch to attack Vicente from the sides, they saw their leader lose his fighting spirit.
In a single instant, he froze as if he had seen the face of death and then began to shake, convulsing as he lost control of his entire body.
Metals were behind the electrical pathways in the neurons of living beings. If metals such as sodium were suddenly removed from the cells, the entire function of ordinary bodies would stop, and the being would die in a fraction of a second.
For magical beings, things were a bit different, as they had mana to count on and would try to protect themselves with such counterattacks. Even so, it wasn't easy to deal with something so terrible affecting your entire being with the intensity Vicente was acting with!
Seeing that he had destabilized his enemy, Vicente let him go and prepared to deal with the two monkeys furiously attacking him.
One of them even had what looked like a spear in one hand, glaring hatefully at Vice.
It wasn't a metal spear, so Vice ignored it. But he activated another spell after jumping backward twice to avoid the deadly, dangerous attack.
When the two hit the void, Vicente pinned them down by their feet with the earth before slamming his hands together, causing a bolt of lightning to appear above them.
Ka-boom!
Immediately after that, a powerful thunderclap rang out over the area, with the lightning hitting those two monkeys but causing much more trouble for Vicente.
The moment his attack hit the two monkeys, electrocuting them, dozens of beings in the area noticed his movement.
The other monkeys, whether of the same or different races, noticed someone acting against one of their own and raised their guards as they looked in Vicente's direction.
Meanwhile, a human level 5 Acolyte nearby opened his eyes wider, sensing a characteristic mana he had been searching for!
"Fucking Cesar! I'm coming! Don't die at the hands of one of these damned beasts!" Ryker Beckman, leader of the Defiant Tyranny faction, shouted loudly enough for others approaching the area to hear.
Beasts and humans heard him, but everyone was focused on Vicente's position, where more than 20 beasts were moving toward him at that very moment.
Vicente heard Ryker's scream and the various animal sounds in the area. He bitterly laughed and said. "My 'reinforcements,' let's take care of those damned beasts!"
Then, after realizing where the strongest of the human enemies were, Vice didn't hesitate to run towards them, taking on more than a dozen beasts who were furious that he had just killed the three monkeys.
"Ehhhhh?" One of the royal army soldiers heard this and turned pale as he saw several level 2, 3, 4, and 5 creatures appearing in the area, throwing tree trunks, branches, and stones in their direction.
Nova saw that she was right in thinking that Cesar would do such a thing and paled.
No matter how strong they were, her group couldn't escape and deal with all these beasts and Vicente simultaneously!
'Damn it, Cesar! You will pay for this!' She cursed the guy as she raised her guard and made one of her pentagrams appear as her Magic Gem glowed.
The same thing happened in the surrounding area, with 10 magicians 'allied' with Vicente, moving their mana to deal with the beasts attacking them indiscriminately.
