Chapter 94 94 - Lepris.
Sam and the girls were now going deeper into the forest. Jeni almost recovered all of her energy, so they once again start their journey toward the forest.
While they were going towards the forest, a group of people were following them. They were all covered in a black dresses and followed them.
Sam and the girls were completely unaware of the fact that someone was following them. Those warriors also maintain a safe distance. Because of this, the life detector also could not detect them.
Sam suddenly signals them to stop. Because in front of them, they see a group of Lepris. These monsters looked like leopards. But compared to the leopards, these Lepris were bigger, and also they were one of the fastest monsters.
They saw that 13 Lepris were ahead of them. They all know if they use their normal way to hunt those Lepris, then they are bound to fail. Compared to these monsters, their speed wears slower, they won't be able to keep up with those monsters. These monsters were in the peak E-grade. Still, their speed was faster than most of the early D-grade warriors. In one word, even if you reach the D grade, you won't be able to kill them if your speed is lower. They also have a good amount of attack power, but their fatal weakness was that their defense was low. Just one good attack from a peak E-grade warrior can kill them.
"Now guys, as you know, we won't be able to hunt them if we hunt them normally. So, if anyone has any plans, tell me," he said to them. He is also thinking about a hunting plan. The girls don't know but, if he uses his full strength, then he can easily kill them. His speed wasn't slower than that monster, but he didn't want to reveal his full strength. Because of this, he was thinking about a hunting plan.
Those monsters were now eating something, so they won't be leaving this area soon. Because of this, Sam and the girls were discussing the hunting plan in no hurry.
Sam silently hears the plan from them. All of them come up with unique plans.
"Sam, we can try to cast the Energy wall, and trap those monsters," Tina suggested.
"Yes, we can do that. But, the major problem is who will kill them. As you know, to cast the energy wall we need four people and we also have only four people. Do you think we can successfully kill them?" Sam asked her. Casting an energy wall was a good idea, but it was just they didn't have any extra members.
To cast an energy wall, you need four people. Then all of them needed to synchronize their spiritual energy, and then they all needed to form the wall at the same time. Like this, you can cast a spiritual energy wall. This energy wall has the highest defense Power. Suppose, 4 peak E-grade grades cast an energy wall. Then even a warrior who was in the peak D-grade won't be able to damage this energy wall. But this energy wall also has a fatal weakness. Those warriors who were casting the energy wall can't lose their focus. If one of them loses their focus, then the energy wall will disappear. Also, to maintain the energy wall, you needed an exorbitant amount of spiritual energy.
"Sam, I cast the confused ray. I cast attack them with the confused ray then, we will attack them," Kenny said to him. Confused ray was one attack from light elements. For some time, you can confuse your enemy with this.
"This is a good idea. But, when you use the confused ray, those monsters will become alert. Even if we confuse them, they can still run away and we won't be able to kill them," Sam said to her.
" Sam, we can also do it like this. Suppose if we somehow bring those lepris to the water, then use my thunderbolt. We can kill them," Jeni suggested. If you were thinking,' Why is there a river?' They advanced towards the deeper area along with the river. This river came from the Yank mountain that wasn't far away from the dark forest. Because of the spiritual energy, many impossible things were now possible. Like this, Yank mountain always stays covered in ice, and because of this Yank mountain, the temperature of the dark forest is also low. But yea, because these spiritual energies of the human body have improved and they won't feel cold at this temperature. In the dark forest, the temperature was now 14°c.
"It was a good idea. Wait, let's think something," Sam said while he thought of a better plan.
" So girls, I think of a better plan to hunt those monsters. This plan has three steps. I will attack those monsters. Then will attack to take revenge. Now at this, Kenny will use his confused ray and hide. I will jump into the river. When those monsters recover, I will once again attack them. I am damn sure they will come to attack me. To this, they will also jump at the river to attack. But Jeni, you will attack those monsters with a thunderbolt. Don't worry about me. Just when you're about to attack them, I will jump out of the river. So, the thunderbolt won't be doing any damage to me. Jeni's attack will kill some of the lepris and the others will get stunned by the lighting. At this moment, we all will attack them and kill them quickly. We need to do this quickly or they will escape. Understand," Sam said, his entire plan to them. The girls nodded after hearing the plan.
"Ok, everyone move," He said and went towards those Lepris. For the last time, he looked toward the girls. After seeing all of them were ready, he cast a big fireball. He shoots the big fireball at those monsters. It instantly hit those monsters. It also creates big destruction on the ground. 3 of the monsters got killed by the attack. Instantly, the other looked at Sam and roared. Now they were furious.
Before the fireball hits those monsters, he leaves the place and runs toward the river. All the monsters saw he was going toward the river. Seeing this, they roar and are ready to approach him. But, suddenly they got attacked by a sharp light. It was Kenny's attack, the Confuse ray. Instantly, those monsters lost their sense for a minute. Yes, this confusion ray can only hold them for 1 minute. But Sam also needed just 1 minute to reach the river.
He directly jumped at the river. The river wasn't that deep. The water only reaches his knees. But that wasn't a problem for them. Instantly, Sam cast a fireball within a few seconds and shot toward those monsters. Because it was a normal fireball, it only takes a few seconds to cast the spell. This time, the fireball didn't hit those monsters. But it angered them. Seeing Sam was once again attacking them, wasting no time, they approached him.
He looked toward Jeni and nodded. Jeni already was ready to attack those monsters. The moment they touch the water, she will attack them. It took a few seconds for those monsters to reach the water and they were about to attack Sam with their sharp claws when suddenly Jeni attacked them.
Sam didn't even think about anything. The moment those Lepris touched the water, Sam jumped away from the water. Fortunately, he was wearing rubber boots, or he also got hit by lightning. Jeni's thunderbolt hit them. It instantly killed 4 Lepris, and the others got injured and were stunned by the lighting.
After shooting the thunderbolt, Jeni, wasting no time, brings out a sword. She, Kenny, and Tina quickly approached the monsters. They need to finish them as quickly as they can. Sam at this moment landed on a tree's branch. He quickly backflips and lands in the middle of those monsters.
He also brings out his sword and, with the girls, attacks those monsters. Because those monsters were now stunned by the lightning, they could not move. Sam and the girls didn't miss this chance. They killed the remaining 7 monsters.
Sam killed two Lepris, Jeni also killed two monsters, Kenny also killed two monsters, and Tina killed the last monster.
"Nice work everyone," Sam said to them and high five them. Hunting with your teammates was the best experience. But, yea, for this to need that type of teammate whom you can trust.
"Let's find a suitable place to stay at night. I don't want to hunt at night," Sam said to them. They also agreed with him and nodded. They were about to leave when Sam heard footsteps. He frowns after hearing the footsteps. He looks at Jeni and sees she also becomes alert.
"Guys, be ready. We have some uninvited guests. Brings out your weapon and quickly hides," Sam told them. He didn't even sense them, which made him curious. If those footsteps were of their enemy, then the moment they will come here, he will attack them.
