Chapter 76: Slashed
"What? I can even do nine of them!"
"I can do ten!"
Nathan\'s eyebrows twitched as he couldn\'t help but say, "You guys don\'t forget that I\'m here, right?"
The two completely ignored him, to the point where their bragging became out of control.
"I will eliminate sixteen of them."
"There are only fifteen. You\'re stupid!"
The aliens obviously didn\'t care about their argument. After regaining their composure from Noelle\'s blade, they started running toward them.
"Enough! Each of us gets 5. Kill them first and help me later!" Nathan raised his voice.
"…" Both of them were glaring at each other, but because of Nathan\'s decision, they harrumphed and started choosing their own opponent.
Nathan shook his head helplessly and started running.
Anubis took the left while Fenrir took the right, leaving the aliens in the middle for Nathan. Because these two were too fast, some aliens ended up coming their way. It was probably because they wanted it that way.
To avoid it from happening, Nathan immediately formed four weak bullets on his palm. He shot four aliens in rapid succession.
Even though the bullets didn\'t do much damage to the aliens, the latter still shifted their focus to Nathan.
Only the one at the very center didn\'t change its direction.
Nathan used Deadly Claw on both hands, trying to gather them in the middle.
However, two aliens leaped to the sides and put their bodies in the way to block the Deadly Claw.
The other three approached Nathan head-on and sped up, closing the gap between them in less than a second.
He didn\'t know whether it was because of the fight against Noelle or something else, but these aliens were not scary anymore. In fact, their movements appeared to be slower than usual.
He jumped back to avoid the aliens from pouncing on him, but that just made the aliens delay their jump.
Nathan pointed his finger at the one in the middle, shooting the bullet.
The proto-class alien put its arm in front, blocking the bullet. However, the bullet\'s penetrative power was enough to pierce through the alien\'s arm and hit a part of its head.
The damage caused to the head made the alien trip before sliding on the ground.
Nathan could finally focus on the two aliens next to it.
By putting a shield made of Ena, he blocked the alien from the left. Meanwhile, his body turned to the right as he caught the alien\'s punch before punching the alien\'s jaw himself, knocking it away.
The alien, the barrier stopped earlier, looped around, but it was too late. Nathan had used the Deadly Claws on both hands.
The alien blocked them with its arms, but they were not enough. The Deadly Claws sliced the alien into pieces.
There were two more aliens that put their bodies to stop his Deadly Claw earlier. They were approaching Nathan from two sides. At the same time, the one he punched earlier had gotten back up, surrounding Nathan.
Suddenly, an alien crashed into the one on the right. Meanwhile, the one on the left was bound by bandages, which left only one alien coming for him.
Nathan focused both his Deadly Claw on the one in front of him, killing it.
Nathan raised his head, finding Fenrir and Anubis finishing the last two aliens on their sides.
"Guys. You\'re worrying too much. I can handle it myself." Nathan sighed. It seemed that Anubis had the same trait as Fenrir, who helped him after fighting the juvenile class.
They didn\'t say anything as they focused on killing the aliens in front of them before helping Nathan at the same time.
"What? You guys are ignoring me? You know, you guys are known as tsundere."
Nathan shook his head helplessly as he managed to kill the injured alien with another shot in the head, but that was all he got.
"It seems that we are done here," said Nathan while glancing at the side. He saw Noelle\'s silhouette jumping into the sky, waving her blade.
The worm-like alien turned its head to devour her, but Noelle\'s blade stretched forward in crescent-shaped shape, cutting its lips.
*Scree!*
The alien was screaming in pain as the four lips turned into six due to that attack.
Noelle didn\'t stop there. She reached the alien\'s body and started swinging her blade to injure the alien as much as possible while falling.
Nathan couldn\'t help but furrow her eyebrows. "Noelle should be quite strong, right? Is she unable to one shot the mature class alien? But she is overwhelming it…"
"She is probably waiting for you. She wants to show you more about the fight so that it will give you a good understanding about the level you should surpass when you reach the third—" Fenrir was explaining before he suddenly sensed an ominous presence.
He hurriedly turned around as Anubis also regrouped with Fenrir, staring in the same direction.
They could see an alien walking toward them from a distance.
"A proto-class alien that comes out a bit too late?" Anubis frowned.
"No. It\'s a juvenile class, but why do I feel like it\'s much stronger than a juvenile class?!" Fenrir frowned. "You should prepare for this, you stupid dog. Our summoner\'s bad luck is something you can\'t measure!"
The juvenile class alien looked like a mix between a human and a beast. It had the shape of a beast, whether it was its limbs or body, but the alien was able to walk on two feet.
The alien suddenly let out a scream before rushing toward them.
Fenrir took this opportunity to come forward while Anubis remained on Nathan\'s side.
Fenrir gathered his Ena around his paw before pouncing on him, while the alien made a punching motion.
However, the veins on the alien\'s arm suddenly moved, and the cell suddenly grew a curved blade from its arm.
"Fenrir!"
Fenrir was taken aback by the sudden change in the alien\'s form as the blade struck him.
Zap!
