Cathyl, Hilvera, and Asterion emerged from Frank's Divine Realm, surprising Dhuja.

​​

And after a few seconds of emerging, they immediately took down one of the Rank 4 Peak Stage Monsters that Dhuja had tamed!

"GRYYYSHAAA!"

A giant, purple-colored snake of over ten meters possessing a long tongue and sharp fangs rushed towards Hilvera, who is deemed as the weakest, while two other beasts, a Lynx-like one with purple fur and a monkey-like one covered in purple jewels neared her as well!

They all charged powerful blasts of poison, spears of poison, and rays of purple light!

Flash! Flash! Flash!

However, Cathyl and Asterion ran towards her, as the Minotaur family unleashed their combined wind techniques once more, using their special Technique Skills, which were Axe for Asterion and Cathyl and Knife Technique for Hilvera, in combination with the Storm Skill, the awakened and stronger version of the Gust Skill!

A tornado of merged techniques ad powerful winds which even came with some cracking thunder reached the three beasts, blasting away their magic techniques with an enormous spiral of winds!

BOOOOOM!

The wind was so strong it generated large shockwaves, making the monsters around them instinctively step back!

"Not enough? How about this! Flying Slicing Wind Knives!"

Flash!

Suddenly, the snake groaned in pain as two flying knives reached it and began to slice it into pieces with powerful wind attribute spells and their strong slicing blades!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

The knives rushed all around the snake's body, wearing it down as the beast roared, trying to attack anything on sight, but confused by the smoke of the explosion, it ended hitting a nearby monster!

"Groaarrr!"

The monkey covered in purple-colored jewels, a Poison Jewel Armor Monkey groaned in anger as it was suddenly attacked by a former companion, hitting it back monstrously as a shadow appeared right above the snake!

"Windstorm Axe Slash!"

Asterion activated the Axe technique by changing its name, which reduced Mana's cost, and unleashed a powerful, wind-boosted vertical axe slash against the snake, breaking through its hard scales in an instant and slicing through its bones and muscles, slicing it perfectly in half!

SLAAAASH!

"GRRYSSHA…!"

The snake left the last roar as its two halves fell over the ground motionless, the monkey jumped out in horror as the smoke finally dissipated, only to see Cathyl smiling towards it, glaring at the monkey as if it were mere prey before her!

"You are not even good for a warmup I guess! Slashing Axe Storm!" she roared, suddenly covering her entire body with her Storm Skill and her Magic Aura, combining both to form a Storm Aura which she used to spin around continuously with her axe, crushing the monkey who barely tried to resist the enormous power and magical pressure with its sheer Rank 4 strength and magic spells, but being ultimately crushed to death as its entire face, torso, and arms were crushed and torn apart by Cathyl's deadly spinning attack!

CRAAASH!

"GRRYAAAAARR…!"

The monkey gave the last roar of agonizing pain as it was turned into minced paste, Cathyl jumped out of it all covered in blood and flesh.

"Oh, who next?" she wondered, glaring at the other Monsters who seemed to be moved in a corner, they were not even obeying Dhuja enough!

Hilvera and Asterion were attacking the giant five-meter-tall Poison Claws Lynx, a purple-colored cat monster with long poisonous claws, which were being easily blocked by Asterion's large axe and his shield, while Hilvera bathed it o slashing attacks with her flying knives which she combined with her Storm Skill to inflict great deals of damage against the monster!

"Grraaooooo…!"

The lynx groaned in agony due to the blood it lost, as it enhanced its claws and covered them on slimy poison, trying to throw slashing attacks against Asterion and Hilvera, but always having its attacks blocked or evaded by Asterion's great defense and resilience and Hilvera's amazing speed and dexterity.

Slash! Slash!

The two poison claws attack failed once more, as the Lynx panted with exhaustion, Asterion and Hilvera smiled pleasantly as they raised their weapons and unleashed yet another storm attack, the Lynx was not able to evade nor defend, and was hit directly into the ground, sliced apart and killed in the spot, leaving blood and flesh splattered all over the place!

BOOM!

"GRROOAARR…!"

Dhuja glared at the six monsters left which were rather fearful, using her taming spell once more to brainwash their minds and make them into mindless servants!

"Attack them, you USELESS BEASTS!" she roared, as the large crest over the beast's heads intensified, making their eyes turn completely red as they groaned and ran towards the three Minotaur in front of them!

"Well, you're making things easier!" laughed Cathyl.

As the three minotaur slaughter the monsters with their great strength, the one they had been cultivating this whole time, they constantly earned more EXP, which rushed towards Frank as well automatically, without him doing any effort whatsoever.

Frank also earned EXP from anyone that had the System, this was one of the perks of sharing it, as long as anyone with the System killed monsters near him, he was able to earn around 60% of the EXP they earned.

However, he and Gwendolyn had already slaughtered a large amount of Rank 2 and 3 Magus and had already earned a fair amount of EXP themselves, so they were not too much into maximizing EXP gained or something…

Considering to escape now, Dhuja glanced at Noah one last time, trying to memorize his face for one day exert revenge…

"(You will pay for this!)" she thought, her eyes gleaming eerily with purple light.

Dhuja gritted her teeth as she released a smirk, which made Gwendolyn raise an eyebrow.

"Well, have fun with these beasts…! Just remember that one day I will achieve Rank 5 too and come back to slaughter all of you!" laughed Dhuja, as she suddenly raised a blue-colored jewel into the air and infused large quantities of Mana into it!

Flash!

The jewel shined brightly as the space around her began to distort, her entire body suddenly began to disappear out of thin air!

"A teleportation jewel…" said Gwendolyn.

"That's a rather expensive one…" said Frank, as he used the Teleport Spell he had earned since his battle against the Gods.

Flash!

Frank appeared in between the spatial layers and using his bare hands, he blocked Dhuja from traversing through them, which was what Teleportation literally was.

Suddenly, Dhuja felt like the disturbance in space was not carrying her anywhere, as she was suddenly thrown back where she was!

"EH?!"

Frank emerged right before her, as she quickly jumped away!

"Canceling Teleportation is not so hard compared to escaping a pocket black hole created by a Space God…" said Frank rather expressionlessly while rubbing his chin… Dhuja didn't understand anything he was talking about!

"W-What? You canceled out my teleportation crystal?! Not even a Space Magus should be able to do such a thing!" said Dhuja, as she coated herself in poisonous, purple-colored fluids and jumped off Frank a second before she was to be sliced in half by a blazing sword that flew towards her original direction!

CLASH!

The blazing sword exploded into flames and almost caught Dhuja, this sword was none other than Vulcanus, the one Gwendolyn wielded, which she had thrown at Dhuja ruthlessly!

"Hahh… T-That sword is a magic sword of such high grade… just who are you exactly to have so many amazing abilities and items?!" asked Dhuja while growing desperate.

"A very intimidate couple," said Gwendolyn as she appeared behind Dhuja.
