The arrow suddenly took a curve and passed the trident. It was too late to make another move, so the humanoid monster could only watch as the arrow hit its trapezius, the area between its neck and shoulder. It was also one of the locations where Zall marked.

Miles wanted to aim at his head, but because he predicted the trident would appear and he wanted to hit the mark, he let a string of energy move the arrow. He could only hit the monster from its trapezius and painted the lotus with the monster’s blood.

The arrow was only low-tier, but thanks to the technique and the stunned enemy, it still pierced through its scales and stuck at its muscle, drawing blood.

“AGH! You are done for now!” The monster gritted its teeth and pulled out the arrow. The poor arrow bent and broke in its hand.

“Poison has no effect on him at all.” Miles sighed. Forged alloy weapons had less elemental damage than orb weapons. The poison didn’t even faze the monster. Although the area the arrow landed was dangerous.

The monster attacked with its trident, but a shield appeared in Zall’s hand to deflect the attack. Although the shield wasn’t as strong as the trident, Zall’s energy had a robust characteristic. His element was melt-iron, a combination of metal and fire. Making his energy fiery and tough.

The trident attack caused Zall to reel back, but he still stood in front of Miles and Xavic with his feet rooted to the ground. He was heaving heavily, and sweat of bullets had formed on his forehead.

Xavic formed a lightning spear in his hand and threw it towards the monster. His superpower, be it healing or stunning, hurt a lot. That is why it could stun the beast in the first place. Xavic attacked with the spear while the monster’s attack got deflected by Zall. The best time to attack was after the enemy depleted its.

The spear pierced towards the monster's chest, but the humanoid monster still caught it with its freehand. Although it was still shocking, it wasn’t as serious. Miles also attacked from a distance. He nocked an energy arrow to the bow and sent them to the monster's head. His energy was on the weaker side compared to the monster, so attacks hardly penetrated its skin, but it was still able to push it back.

“You pests!” Monster shouted and a trident grew in its hand. It started to float in the air and sped towards Zall.

“Dodge it!” Miles shouted.

Zall hesitated for a second, but that hesitation cost him dearly. The trident pierced through the shield like a hot needle through cardboard. It clashed with the armor and made scars on it. Luckily, Zall’s defense was still strong. But he flew back in a sorry state.

“Stop it!” Miles shouted as he held the bag of fruits.

“Too late for that now, shit heads!” The humanoid monster cried and flew towards Miles. Miles kept the bag full of fruits in front of him, but the monster didn’t slow at all. Miles tried to dodge, but he wasn’t fast enough.

A body appeared in front of him. It was Zall. Monster’s hand clashed with his side and drew blood from Zall’s torso.

“Zall!” Miles shouted. Xavic also approached. He was still holding the lightning spear. He attacked with the spear and managed to pierce the monster's scales from behind. But its skin was still too hard.

Monster got electrocuted once again, and Miles attacked with Mountain Fist. The attack hit the monster on the face, sending it flying. Miles crouched to check Zall.

“You okay buddy?” Miles asked.

“Yeah, focus on the monster. Ignore me.” Zall said while grimacing.

“Xavic, you deal with Zall, I will keep monsters away,” Miles said and threw the bag to Xavic. Xavic nodded and went to heal Zall.

“You think you can beat me alone?” The monster looked at Miles with a smirk.

“Who said I will be alone?” Miles grinned. His body swelled slowly, and he pulled out an orb from his pocket. He used the first step of the Exaltedness of the Creator as the orb turned into a dagger with gray eerie air swirling around it.

The humanoid monster sensed the change, and looked at Miles with surprise, but shrugged it off. Miles used Frontal Dash and appeared in front of the monster. His speed was faster, and the monster got surprised for a short second, but the trident still appeared in front of Miles to stop him in time.

Miles ignored the approaching trident and used Mountain Cleaver! The dagger was a bit short, but Miles was still able to use it for sword attacks. The dagger shone like a sun as it descended to the monster's body. Only to be stopped by the trident.

Miles felt the dreadfulness of the trident. His arm was numb, and the attack that could split a giant rock into two deflated easily.

Although Miles was strong, he was still weaker than the monster. Without Xavic’s stuns, he wasn’t able to approach it at all.

The monster didn’t let go of the opportunity and appeared in front of Miles at the speed of sound. Its claws went to Miles's face, but Miles raised its arm to block it.

“ARGH!” Miles cried in pain. His left arm now had four deep scars, even his bones could be seen. Miles gritted his teeth, swallowed the pain, and swung the dagger again. Trident appeared and sent the attack back, while the monster with a grin moved its two hands towards Miles’s face. He ignored the attack coming his way and swung the dagger with full force once again.

“C’mon girl. Make it!” Miles shouted. The next second, a silhouette appeared to stop the monster.
