The team approaches the cave with full caution, their eyes scanning every direction.
They carefully enter the cave, staying alert—
and what they see inside leaves them stunned:
More than a hundred monsters are present there.
Abrox, quickly analyzing the situation, says:
"We'll launch a surprise attack. Everyone, take your positions!"
As planned earlier, everyone moves to their designated spots.
Abrox, Zack, and Joshua take the lead.
And then—
They launch a sudden attack on the monsters.
But just as they begin their attack, the situation takes a turn—
as soon as the team strikes, more monsters suddenly appear and launch a counterattack on them.
Abrox shouts,
"Don't panic! Stick to the formation we planned—we can handle them!"
Abrox, Zack, and Joshua stay at the front lines,
fighting fiercely and taking down the monsters one by one.
Whenever any of them gets injured, the two healers stationed at the back immediately heal them.
The archers, positioned behind, were also carefully targeting monsters one by one.
The magicians, under Joshua's signals, were casting powerful magic attacks from mid-range.
And protecting all of them were Alex and Khaled, using their defense skills to shield the team.
Fighting in perfect coordination—
the team successfully eliminates over a hundred monsters.
The team didn't suffer much damage—only a few minor injuries, which the healers quickly treated.
But the most remarkable thing was that Zack used only his swordsmanship throughout the battle.
He didn't use any of his other skills,
and still, he was the second-highest in the team, having killed more than 20 monsters all by himself.
His performance left the entire team shocked.
Albus:
Wow, Zack… I never imagined you'd become this powerful."
Joshua:
"Exactly what I expected from my friend."
Abrox:
"Looks like we've got some serious talent on our hands this time."
Amber (coldly):
"Hmph… it's not that big of a deal."
Khaled:
"Interesting…"
Max:
"Didn't know someone like him even existed."
Sam:
"Sir Joshua is Zack's friend? That's awesome!"
Smith:
"Gotta admit… that was impressive."
Alex:
"Very interesting."
Abrox says,
"Alright then. No one's seriously hurt—let's move forward."
The entire team proceeds ahead.
But suddenly, 10 more monsters appear—
and these ones are clearly stronger than the previous ones.
One of them, in particular, stood out—
just by looking at it, they could tell that if it wanted to,
it could wipe out all 10 team members in an instant.
Zack immediately realized that this monster was no ordinary creature—
it was an Original Monster,
a hybrid between a human and a monster,
just like Kalthok.
Zack instantly tightened his grip on his sword,
his body tensing for battle,
and his eyes quickly shifted toward Albus.
But what caught his attention was surprising—
Albus was scared too.
Genuinely afraid.
