Parallel Memory Chapter 441: Encounter With Voracious Arboreal Beasts

Chapter 441: Encounter With Voracious Arboreal Beasts

The night pa.s.sed uneventfully, and the group woke up early the next morning to continue their journey.

The second day of the journey proved to be more challenging than the first. The forest terrain became more treacherous, and they encountered larger and more aggressive monsters.

The Elven guards once again displayed their exceptional combat prowess, impressing the human geniuses with their precise control of power and natural grace.

With such strong people protecting them, it didn't seem like they needed to be involved in any kind of fighting.

However, one of the Elves sent a message which alerted Aranic. The ma.s.sive creature that is known as a "Voracious Arboreal Beast." is spotted to be heading towards their direction.

Voracious Arboreal monsters are terrifying monsters. Standing at least 10 feet tall, it had a stout, muscular body covered in thick, dark-green scales that acted as natural armor, protecting it from most conventional attacks.

Its limbs were st.u.r.dy and ended in sharp, clawed appendages, allowing it to traverse the forest terrain with incredible speed and agility.

The Voracious Arboreal Beast was a territorial creature, known for its aggressive nature and relentless pursuit of intruders in its domain. It had a powerful jaw filled with razor-sharp teeth that could crush bones effortlessly.

Its glowing red eyes seemed to emanate malevolence, making it clear that this creature was not to be taken lightly.

Before the message could be processed by Aranic, the monsters had already reached their proximity.

The number of Voracious Arboreal Beasts was huge, approximately 100. Their ranks ranged anywhere from B to S+.

The sight was both awe-inspiring and terrifying, as the sheer size and strength of the creatures were enough to send shivers down the spines of even the bravest among them.

Nock Fletcher and Aranic exchanged a worried glance, realizing the severity of the situation. With the way it was, it didn't seem like they could stop the geniuses from getting involved in the fight.

Unlike previous fights, it would be too much even for this team of Rank-S to fight with so many Voracious Arboreal while also protecting the geniuses.

As the pack of Voracious Arboreal Beasts closed in, Nock took the lead, barking out orders to the group of geniuses.

"Form a defensive perimeter! Stick together and cover each other's backs."

The geniuses and the Elven guards quickly followed Nock's instructions, forming a tight circle.

As the beasts charged at the group, some of the geniuses felt a shiver of fear run down their spines. The creature's strength was evident as it crashed through the thick underbrush with ease, its movements fluid and coordinated.

The Authority agents and the Elven guards took immediate action, forming a protective formation.

Aranic stepped forward with grace and confidence. His bow was drawn, and an arrow of pure mana materialized, ready to be unleashed.

The Rank-S Voracious Arboreal lunged at Aranic, but he dodged with incredible agility, smoothly evading the creature's attack.

With a quick, fluid motion, he released the arrow, and it flew with tremendous speed and accuracy, hitting the beast's vulnerable spot on its neck.

The Voracious Arboreal Beast let out a ferocious roar of pain, causing the ground to tremble. But it was far from defeated. And it was only one monster. Others still continued to charge despite one of them nearly dying.

The creatures attacked with savage ferocity, lunging at the group from different directions. The Authority's agents and Elven Guards fought back with all their might, using their abilities to create defensive barriers and launch counterattacks.

Those who were able to slip through had to fight the geniuses. Rank-S geniuses easily took care of some of them but when Rank-A + and Rank-S attacked, they were occupied by them.

The remaining Voracious Arboreal beasts who made through them were ranked at B to A. Monsters higher than those ranks were kept at bay by the Elven Guard and The agents.

Even with such a great number, it didn't seem like monsters would be able to do much damage to them. With Nock Fletcher by our side, Rank-S Voracious Arboreal were taken care of and their numbers were slowly decreasing.

And the geniuses could also handle Rank-B and Rank-A Voracious Arboreal by themselves.

Hiro along with his group were fighting with around 7 monsters with the mixture of Rank-B and Rank-A. They were able to handle them easily.

William and his group have their own bodyguard who protects them. They didn't really try to help and were just trying to protect themselves.

Zero was on his own. Amelia was supporting Mia who was fighting with three Rank-S Voracious Arboreal. Mia needed more support than Zero.

Zero could have also gone and helped them but it could seem suspicious for Rank-A to help Rank-S and they didn't need his help either.

Zero moved with extraordinary speed and precision, cutting down the beasts that came too close to him. His swords, Raijin's Edge, danced through the air like a deadly symphony, striking with lethal accuracy.

They were warned of not using excessive force. He could have killed most of them together using his AOE skill but refrained from using it as it would have also destroyed the environment..

Although monsters were many and strong, it was not to the point of pushing him to a corner. He could handle them easily, at least the ones who were at Rank-B and Rank-A.

However, it didn't seem like not everyone was finding it easy like Zero.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"

One of the geniuses shouted. He seemed to be overpowered by Rank-A Voracious Arboreal.

In a moment of desperation, he decided to ignore the warning about not using excessive force. He unleashed powerful Fire attacks that not only damaged the creature but also caused collateral damage to the surrounding forest.

However, though the surrounding had almost been destroyed, the monster was still alive and was going to attack the person.

Luckily, Nock immediately appeared before him and killed the monster. Before the person knew that he was saved, Nock went off to another place, fighting with the monsters.

The person breathed heavily in relief as he survived. He thought that he was done for.

As the intense battle raged on, more and more Voracious Arboreal Beasts fell under the combined might of the geniuses, S-Rank agents, and the Elven guards.

*PHEW!

At last they were able to kill the last monster. The geniuses and the agents were happy that it ended without any casualties.

However, the mood was not the same for Elven Guards. The Elven Guards were angrily glaring at the person who almost died!
