Chapter 137 – Alea’s Trick

Chapter 137 - Alea’s Trick

"Don't forget about me, okay?"

Alea couldn't contain her excitement as she lowered her sword, pulling it to the side. With her sword slightly above her head, she diagonally waved it down until it almost reached the ground in the opposite direction.

"Inch Slash."

This unnatural energy flew and cut the giant boulder into two. Due to her slashing diagonally, the boulder had a slope, making the top part slide down to the ground, creating a huge wall of ice.

At the same time, almost all the monsters in front of her got cut down as she showed an excited smile. "Left side is safe. Just be careful with the right side… Anyway, I'm going in."

After giving a warning, Alea stomped the ground and leaped forward, increasing her speed to the maximum. There were only one black-colored bull and a blue snake in front of her.

The bull couldn't react as it needed to prepare for the charge first while the snake moved forward and leaped into the air, trying to bite her.

Alea raised her hand and let the snake bite her metal glove.

Her gloves were higher quality than Theo's, so the snake's fang couldn't even make a dent.

Alea then slashed the snake, showing the power of the equipment. Without wasting any time, she quickly made her way toward the bull, who somehow managed to charge forward, ramming its horn against her.

Alea struck the horn and fought against its power before magically pushing the bull back.

"I hope you don't forget about me." Theo appeared next to her with his spear, planning to kill the monster. His expression was cool as if the kill was already in the bag. Yet, as one would expect from a genius, Alea surpassed his expectation once again.

"After that first time you beat me by using my blindspot, I have been training my Awareness to make sure you don't get a step ahead of me anymore, Theo." Alea smirked, knowing Theo took off as soon as she increased her speed and the fact that he had been using her figure to hide his body. She halted her movement and allowed Theo to do his things.

Theo furrowed his eyebrows, never expecting Alea to give him a way to kill the bull. Even so, he thought no more and stabbed the bull's head with his sharp spear that was supposed to be able to penetrate all Elite Rank monsters.

However, the ground beneath his feet cracked as two moles leaped out of the ground, trying to bite his head.

'Wha—' Theo sucked a cold breath, not because of the moles, but because of Alea's action. She already made her swing before the moles even appeared, meaning she already knew there were monsters underground. And she used his eagerness to become bait for her and slashed the two moles into two.

"I already said monsters might appear in the weirdest way possible like the golem we fought in that savannah, so you shouldn't forget to check the ground too. I don't know if you know about it or not, but it's possible to penetrate the ground with your Awareness, even though it's not that effective, you know." Alea winked and smiled.

As he said earlier, Theo was excited to see his team improving by leaps and bounds because it was worth surpassing them with his trick. This was his way to polish his rationality. And the excitement he felt in his heart surpassed the great EXP Points he received from the enemy.

[Killed a Raging Bull.]

[EXP+870]

Due to the level difference, Theo got a ton of EXP Points. Even though the difference in their levels surpassed fifty levels, the EXP points didn't go higher than when he killed the Rock Turtle. After all, they both were Elite Rank, while back then, Theo was a Normal Rank and the Turtle was an Elite Rank. If he killed a Champion Rank monster, he would be raining for EXP Points.

In fact, this would be the main reason why they had Alea and Ellen raise their level. Yeah, the instructor wanted to raise their levels rapidly with the least amount of time by using someone stronger. This term is known as Power Leveling.

The school obviously didn't condone such practice normally because high status points without any skills to back it up would end up limiting their future.

However, this didn't apply to Theo's group because they constantly challenged each other and improved their individual skills.

Radvils already said he wouldn't mind sacrificing all the students to create this kind of team. And He was probably getting chewed out by the principal while the latter tried to mitigate the disaster by ordering the teacher to help the students… Especially the ones that felt they couldn't succeed.

Ignoring all those complicated thoughts, Theo and Alea stopped, exchanging looks with a smile. They waited for the others to catch up before running again.

"Don't underestimate me, okay?" Alea stuck her tongue out. "I can do it like you."

Theo didn't say anything and returned to his position as they outran the monsters that chased after them. After feeling safe, Theo looked at Alea's back and smiled. 'I have never underestimated you.'

They continued crossing the grass field while fending off the monsters without rest.

Due to the constant attacks, they ended up decreasing their speed and only arrived at the other side of the field an hour later.

Surprisingly, the moment no one stepped at the grass anymore, the monsters suddenly stopped as if they were blind even though Alea and the others were in front of them.

They returned to the grass without doing anything.

Phyrill quickly checked their surroundings while the group dropped to the ground as the adrenaline disappeared.

Theo opened his status and dropped his jaw.
