Volume 7 Chapter 62: Vengeance

"Woohoo! We made it back to the third floor!" Herrick shouted as he stared at the grass. Everyone's eyes glimmered, proud that they returned.

"You guys don't have to be this excited." This damn helmet is getting in the way. Everyone forced him to wear a helmet even when he tried to take it off. They used the excuse of him becoming a full tank, bashing through everyone.

You can even use your skull to do that! Melor commented with a smile. That only made the boy's expression grow dark. My head would be ringing!

"Alright, let's go find that bison." That was their objective now.

"Got it!"

"Is it really okay?" Krystal nudged Keith. Her position in the group was the heavy hitter, essentially replacing Keith. The formation of the team was;

Keith

Melor

Krystal

Herrick

Faelyn

Gabriel

Jack/Arlo

Leona

Alfia

Carolyn

Scarlet

Sarah

Melor, Krystal, and Herrick were the group's attackers, dealing the most physical damage.

"We have to. We need to get revenge for what the bison did to us."

"But you usually go for the less direct approach." Keith was prudent. If he had the chance to preserve strength, he would. There was no need for him to head into battle for the sake of fighting.

"Of course. But I'm going to change things today." Keith turned to Herrick and Melor. Those two need this win. He could tell they were out for blood against the bison. And he liked that fire. Yet, that fire could quickly disappear if he didn't play his cards right.

It wasn't only them. Despite Herrick and Melor yelling vengeance, the others also felt the same. That was the first defeat they had.

It hit them hard.

That was why they needed to beat the bison. Doing so, they could ride that fire to the boss floor. It would be a piece of cake.

"I see."

"Also, how are you doing working with a team?" Besides riding the wave, Keith was concerned with the girl.

"Fine. But I need to get adjusted to it." This was her first time fighting in a team. It was tricky since she had to watch what the others did. She tried her best not to get in Herrick and Melor's way.

"Just do what you can. Gabriel is there to make adjustments on the fly." Gabriel was the troubleshooter. He would adjust things if he found an issue. It made Keith's life easier.

"What are you guys talking about?" Carolyn frowned as she saw the two conversing, "If you have anything to say, say it with the group."

"Yeah." "You can't pamper Krystal all the time."

Alfia and Scarlet stared at him.

"We were talking about how everyone was strong. Kinda overkill." This was true: this team was overkill. In terms of power, it was too over the top.

"I see." Carolyn continued to stare at Keith. However, she didn't have time to do that because,

"Mgahhh!"

Keith and the rest prepared themselves. What was before them was the Saber Bison. However,

"This one is big."

"Is it a variant?" This one had more horns than usual and had a large frame.

"Not a variant, but probably the leader." Keith could tell straight away what it was. A variant was like an outlier, while this one was more like an enhancement in traits.

"Come at me!" Keith slammed his shield.

"Scarlet!"

"Understood!" Scarlet started to chant.

"You guys, don't make a move yet." Keith could tell Herrick and Melor were itching to brawl with it.

"But-"

"You guys will get your turn against them," Keith wasn't planning to hog all the fun. The bison stepped on the ground, readying itself against Keith, its eyes locked on one target.

"What kind of staredown am I watching right now?" The others gulped. What they saw was an incredible staredown. That was when the bison charged! It rushed forth at breakneck speed. When that occurred, Keith charged with the shield!

The two slammed into one another. The bison and humans were stuck in the center, pushing one another. However, the person who was pushed back was Keith...not until his entire body sunken to the ground!

"Scarlet Now!"

"Shadow bind!"

"Herrick, Melor!"

"Ragh!" "Hyah!" Herrick and Melor swung their swords. It was such a fierce attack, releasing all the rage they had.

"Hah!" Herrick and Melor took deep breaths once the bison was taken down.

"Keith, how did you not get fling back?" Alfia frowned. The guy definitely should have been sent flying. Yet this guy was so calm.

"That's because I used gravity on myself." That was why he didn't get pushed back. He had added it downwards, causing his leg to be stuck shut. No way the monster was going to push him!

"And it seemed we attracted others." Turning to the side was a bunch of bison. Their fight attracted the beasts.

"That's perfect!" "Yeah!" The others were serious about this as well.

"Let's get to work!"

"Understood!" Everyone shouted. These guys weren't going to be beating any of them. It was going to be a bloodbath!
