CHAPTER 44

Yerilia wanted to play sometime with the Cerebrus.

It was not like she was going home , the exact moment after she kills the monster.

It would take the 100 people who dived in this session from 20 to 30 days to complete it.

Well besides as the orphanage she stayed for all her life as she could remember it got destroyed , she was now staying in a rented studio. 

She wouldn't necessarily call it home. The word shelter would be more suitable than the word home.

Home for her would always be the orphanage.

The orphanage lady who was better than any mother , who treated all the children of the orphanage as her own , her friends , brothers and sisters and not to forget her best friend Cyrus.

She lost all of them.

She doesn't know but this was probably what led to her avoiding confrontations and being more reserved. It was also why she wanted to become stronger. If only she was a little stronger she could have prevented the death of her close ones. 

Let the orphanage incident be fate. But she could have definitely saved Cyrus if she was blessed with some fighting talent instead of some talent that just helped her to find hidden items.

That too the skill was so low tiered that it couldn't be even considered as good.

*Clang*

The metal sword got stuck in between the teeth of the cerebrus.

Its eyes were red shot. It was humiliated. It had to destroy the enemy in front of it.

Yerilia tried to take out the sword. She was in a dangerous position not to mention she was in mid air with only the sword as support being stuck in between the monster's teeth.

Just then

The cerbrus howled.

Karthikeyan had targeted its legs and severely damaged it.

It soon let go of the sword and stumbled few steps back. Its weight alone destroying the crude hut made up of bricks.

There was no one inside though.

"Hey what are you doing?" Karthikeyan asked Yerilia who came besides him

"Thank you for the save" She said while flickering her hair.

Karthikeyan narrowed his eyes. Yerilia didn't say anything. She looked at him as she had done nothing wrong.

Well a Cerberus was not a problem for them if dealt with precisely but still a little carelessness would cause them dearly.

Especially if someone as strong as them attacked them from behind , it could prove fatal.

Yerilia readied her Halberd.

"Well its not every time we see a monster , might as well play with it , you know , see how the monster attacks , how it moves , so in the future we can deal with it efficiently."

Yerilia made it sound plausible but was it really the truth?

Karthikeyan didn't buy it.

"O..ok I was a little distracted in my thoughts"

"Hmm, let's not forget we are in a battlefield, we should not be careless." 

The monster regained its footing. It looked down. There was a huge gush in its Foreleg and blood constantly flowed from it. Just a little attack and it was damaged to this extent.

Saliva came endlessly from its mouth falling on the ground mixing with its blood.

It had to finish this battle quickly or it would end in its demise.

It howled once again. But this time the howl was not for naught.

It had activated its skill that was quite special

[THE CEREBRUS RAGE]

Increases the monster's special and physical attack stats by 20 points and the speed by 20 points for 5 minutes. No drawbacks after the skill is used. Cooldown of 2 hours.

The monsters across the universe were blessed with exclusive skills. No intelligible races had this privilege anywhere. This is why the beastmen were one of the powerful people across the galactic verse.

Not only had they high numbers , they also had exclusive skills that couldn't be learned by any other races. Those skills were quite powerful as well.

In a blink of an eye , the Cerberus was near Yerilia . It opened its mouth so it could tear Yerilia into two.

But Karthikeyan just came in time. As his physical defence was quite high , not to mention his sheer force output was absurd for his level , he easily tackled the monster back.

Yes the monster might have 20 plus speed stats but still it was not like its movements couldn't be predicted.

You could still give a good fight with someone as long as their speed stats were not more than 10 points higher than you.

Not to mention Karthikeyan had literally absurd speed levels as he does not need to invest in his physical attack or physical defence stats.

But Yerilia seemed to have a hard time. She just now couldn't predict the movement of the Cerebrus. It was too fast. Well it was given she only had 10 speed points.

"Usually we fight monsters in a group so even if they activate their skills we would not be in much of a danger. But when it's just 2 of us the difference is huge."

"This Cerebrus is quite low in levels maybe in the 10s , in fact all the monsters we have faced up until this point are too." Karthikeyan phrased his words while repelling away the monster.

 Yerilia at the other hand didn't even listen to Karthikeyan speaking she only widened her eyes at the sheer force Karthikeyan was producing with his sword. The cerebrus was pushed back multiple steps.

To push a creature of this weight multiple steps it needed serious power.

"So could they be considered weak? no. The monsters are terrifying because of the absurd exclusive skills they have. Those skills while giving them absurd power almost does not give them any weaknesses."

Karthikeyan soon moved his sword in a skillful manner. He had used the technique [THE DANCE OF THE SWORD]. Brilliant light followed. His movements were precise and powerful.

It seemed that he was dancing but in reality all his individual moves were synchronised to a high level.

The Cerebrus howled in pain. Even its defence stats had increased by a ton it was no match to Karthikeyan's enhanced 40 attack points. 

Its slashed meat flew in the air everywhere splattering across. 

Finally the dance ended when Karthikeyan poked his sword in the skull of the Cerbrus. The sword reached the brain splitting into its brain matter.

There was no muffle sounds. The cerebrus lost complete control of its body. It fell to the ground. Hinting its demise.
