n'One final push and we'll be able to breakthrough.'

nSouta said inwardly. He had to make sure that they will get in Imperium before the reinforcement of the council arrives.

nHe slightly turned his head and glanced behind him. Everyone was trying their best to fight the soldiers of the council. But he knew that this wasn't enough.

nYuko and Doranjan have arrived and it only fills up the people that were tired from battle. The monsters, led by Red Dragon, were pushing the right flank of the enemy's formation.

nThey were doing great unlike the rest who were dead tired from fighting nonstop battles.

n

"Souta, we won't last long if this keeps up,

" Alice said to him while fighting an S-rank soldier.

n

"I realized that too. We need to make a move that will disrupt the enemy.

" Souta replied to her as he charged forward and clashed with the five S-rank soldiers.

nBoom! Boom! Boom!

nHe already activated two out of three equipment skills of the Solid Hunter State Boots. It slowed down his opponents and increased his speed.

nIt also increases the effect of his Cat's Speed, Dash, and Shadow Step.

nSouta's speed was raised to the limit as it let him keep up with five S-rank experts alone. He was equally changing blows with the five of them at the same time.

nDozens of flame spikes rushed towards him and he sliced the spikes using the Cross Moon skill.

nBang!

n

"Our leader is really something else... He is already exhausted fighting nonstop in the frontline yet he could still keep up with five S-ranks alone.

" Torkez commented as he glanced at the frontline.

nThe people that were fighting on the frontline were Souta, Alice, Eztein, Franklin, and some of the S-rank witches. They were trying to breach the tough formation of the council's forces.

n

"We should go now.

" Gragas, who was beside him, said.

n

"Yeah, we should do our best too,

" Torkez said before he charged forward.

nSwoosh!

n

"I'm going to sneak around and cut down the numbers of the enemies,

" Isabella said before she disappeared from her position.

nGragas glanced at her before he shrugged his shoulder. Then, he followed Torkez.

n...

nBang!

nSouta was blown away as he received a powerful attack from his opponents. His wounds quickly closed as he stared at the five S-ranks who were rushing at him.

n'I will cut down one of them.'

nWhen the five arrived close to him, he quickly casted the Dark Cloud Hunting and used the gravitational field to push away the four S-rank.

nHe would focus his attention on one of them first. If he succeeded, then he will only have to fight four of them later.

nAs soon as the gravity field was activated, Souta stretched out his hand and a string of spider web flew out of his palm.

n

"This is...

"

nThe S-rank didn't have time to think about it as Souta pulled the web.

nSwoosh!

n

"Ah!

"

nHe didn't have a choice but to collide with this monster. He gathered a huge amount of energy in an instant as he pulled back his hand.

nHe moved his eyes only to see seven humanoid shadows keeping up his four comrades. He quickly realized the plan of the monster in front of him.

n

"So your target is me? It's not easy to kill me!

"

nHe roared as he threw a punch forward. His fist tore the tough armor on Souta's body as it created a huge gaping hole near Souta's chest.

nBang!

n

"Arggh!

"

nSouta endured the pain and he grabbed the head of the S-rank. A grin formed on his face and said,

"I finally caught you!

"

nBlessing of the God of Hunt!

nWatching Prey!

nSoul Blood Mode!

nElement Drive: Dark Force!

nFifth Form: Rage of the Thunder God!

nFirst Form: Mahayan Tribulation!

nCrimson Slash!

nBestrou!

nDark Shooting Ray!

nSeveral skills were used at the same time. The best feram inside Souta's monster orb and Nebula Heart rapidly decrease.

nA bright blinding light erupted in his direction. It shook the entire space as the dense wave of best feram disrupted the mana flow in the whole area.

nBOOOOOOMMM!!!

nIn the next moment, the light disappeared and only a gigantic monster was left. He was holding the head of the S-rank in his hand and the black armor on his body was tattered.

n

"Huff...

"

nThe monster slightly opened his mouth and white mist oozed out of it.

nSouta released the head of the S-rank and it floated near him. He finally killed one of them and it would make killing the other four easier.

n

"Prepare...

"

nHe charged towards them at high speed. Since he activated his Soul Blood Mode and Blessing of the God of Hunt, he needed to make sure to get rid of his opponents as soon as possible.

nBoom! Boom! Boom!

nThe battle between Souta and the four S-rank wasn't visible to ordinary people. They wouldn't be able to follow their movements as their perception was too low. They would only feel the aftershocks of the battle yet those aftershocks could disintegrate all the creatures below C-rank. Even C-rank and B-rank could hardly see their figures.

nShockwave after shockwave was sent out in the surrounding area as Souta exchanged blows with the four S-ranks hundreds of times.

nThe Doppelganger was helping him keep the S-ranks in bay. Fighting four was definitely easier than fighting five of them much less when he was using the Soul Blood Mode and blessing.

nThe four spider limbs on his back charged and it fired four Bestrou towards the four while using a gravity field to slow down their movements.

nThe same tactics had worked once again.

nSouta zoomed the distance in one S-rank. He pointed the tip of his sword at the chest of the S-rank and used the attack skill of the Solid Hunter State Boots.

nRapid Demolition Spring!

n

"Wha-

"

nThe S-rank soldier opened his eyes widely as he looked at the scene before his eyes.

nSouta's thrust the vajra sword forward thousands of times in an instant. Even the perception of an S-rank could hardly follow it.

nIt was too fast as the S-rank got overwhelmed by the pure attack speed of the skill called Rapid Demolition Spring. It was fast yet the damage wasn't that high so the S-rank managed to survive yet how could Souta let him go easily.

nAlthough it didn't kill the S-rank, the damage it dealt was lethal. It left him on the verge of death.

n

"Too bad.

"

nUsing the four spider limbs on his back, Souta wrapped the S-rank in spider web before he used his finishing attack.

nThe combined Fifth Form: Rage of the Thunder God, Bestrou, and Crimson Slash.

nBoom!!

n

"Two down!

"

nSouta turned his head and said,

"Let's go!! Push them with everything!

"

nThe Guardian Fortress shoots several Mana Convergent Bomb once again.

nThe time was ticking and the reinforcement would arrive soon. The five S-rank experts that Souta fought weren't the only S-rank in the council's formation. Alice, Eztein, Yuko, Franklin, Doranjan, and the others were fighting S-rank experts too.

n

"Let's push them!

"

nSouta roared as a dense amount of best feram spread out. He clashed with the three S-rank and killed them using his finishing attack.

nThe amount of energy that he had left was close to zero. The parasite queen was also reaching its limit. Souta was slowing down but he knew that he had to keep moving forward.

nInsta Regen!

nHe used the equipment skill of his red grade ring to recover some of his energy. It was a huge help to him and he would be able to fight a little longer with this.

n

"Huff... Just one more time.

"

nSouta muttered as he caressed the black and white bracelet on his right wrist. He had no choice but to use this so that they could safely enter the Imperium. He didn't want others to know the ability of this bracelet yet.

nJust like the Soul Blood Earring, the Yin Yang Bracelet was a universal grade artifact.

nThe Soul Blood Earring didn't give the user immediate power. But the power that it provides was permanent even if the user threw the pair of earrings.

n

"I have already consumed the High Phaseless Fruit... So I have both light and dark attributes.

"

nBlack and white tattoos came out of the bracelet and it scattered in the space around Souta. A strange fluctuation of energy swept out as the tattoos started to merge together.

nOne was pitch black and the other was pure white. The two different color tattoos turned into two humanoid creatures.

nThe white creature was twenty meters tall. It had a pair of white wings on its back. It also has a pair of wings on its waist and its head. The creature had four slender arms and it has a huge hole in the center of its chest. It didn't have a face instead what was on its face was just a pure white orb. Three halos were hovering above its head and on its hand, it has a long golden staff.

nThe black creature had the same height. It didn't have eyes, ears, or nose. It only has a huge mouth that were filled with razor-sharp teeth. It was holding a huge greatsword that could slice through the thickest metals. It was covered with a gray robe but this robe was part of its body. It was filled with tiny sharp spikes.

nYin Yang Twin Spirits!

n'Only people that had dark and light affinity could use this equipment skill.'
