Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Heavy Hitters

The northern region of Red Island, where massive trees covered the entire landscape. The area was less humid and dimly lit than the rest of the forest, and taller grasses protruded from the ground, which the wandering monsters would eat.

A few of the island's lost and trapped monsters were feeding on the fresh grasses. As they fed, the sounders of monsters from Higante Boar's evolution line stayed together. Five members, each half a meter tall, with brown skin and much darker brown furs covering their bodies. Their heads were adorned with a pair of hook-shaped dark yellow tusks that were sharp and tough enough to pierce flesh.

Higante Boars were known to eat both plants and meat and could be extremely ferocious if they came across a tasty target, such as humanoids. They would begin their lives as half-meter boars, but as they evolved, they would become forest giants. But not if they were stranded on the Red Island.

Marching toward their newfound prey, a massive army of 60 Peasants, which began with 10 members and grew in size as they exited the Death Canyon. It was demonstrated that powerful peasants could easily entice peasants to join them. The group's leader, a level 5 Peasant, dashed through the tall grasses, closing and opening its mandibles. Following it was the band of peasants, which consisted of 59 level 1 peasants struggling to keep up with their leader's speed.

Unlike the other Peasants, who kept closing and opening their mandibles as they rushed through the rough path, Eon had no patience for it and kept his mandibles open as he tried to keep up with the pace of the team he joined. He kept up with the racing group as they ran and ran. As they approached their destination, their entire group spread out in every direction, ensuring that there were no angles through which their prey could escape.

Eon, on the other hand, followed their leader and stopped when it stopped. As they emerged from the grasses, his gaze was drawn to their prey.

A group of giants with tusks greeted Eon; they were the same height as Pup Diviar Wolves, but their muscular and plumpy body build made a huge difference. The sounders of Small Higante Boars formed upon seeing the arrival of the Peasants, and it was a glorious crowd built like impenetrable walls of meat. These sounders did not survive this long in this part of the forest by chance, but rather due to their monstrous abilities.

There was only one level 5 Small Higante Boar among them, but the other four were all level two, packed with ferocity to kill anything that came near them. They all roared, and their previously yellow tusks and eyes turned red as they activated their racial exclusive skill, Heavy Hitter, which added 100% of their top speed to the final calculation of every damage they inflicted. The effect would only last a short time. It would deal terrible damage to anyone unlucky enough to be hit by even one of their basic attacks.

While his gaze was fixed on the monsters in front of him, Eon slowly lowered his head and tightened all six of his legs. He had just encountered one of the most powerful species of monsters lurking in Kegali's forest, but he showed no hesitation or even considered fleeing.

The level 5 Peasant raised its head and closed and opened its mandibles, signaling the Peasants surrounding the five giants to prepare for their violent approach. The level five Peasant then rushed toward their enemy without a second's hesitation, and Eon and the entire army followed.

As the red knights approached the Small Higante Boars, a barricade of young giants formed, ready to crush anyone who dared to jump on them.

The first batch of Peasants threw themselves toward their target, but before they could do anything, some of them fell to the ground like wingless flies. The level 2 Small Higante Boars were killing the Peasants in one shot, their overwhelming attack proving too much for the level 1 Peasants to withstand. Tusks Strike's 10.5 damage per hit when combined with their racial exclusive skill, Heavy Hitter, was not something to be taken lightly.

The level 2 Small Higante Boars, on the other hand, could only perform three Tusks Strikes at most. Because they did not have enough mana to use after using their racial exclusive skill. Three Tusks Strikes from each of the four level 2 Small Higante Boars and four from the level 5 Small Higante Boars were never enough to defeat the overwhelming army.

Eon was aware of it, so instead of rushing in, he waited and observed the battle unfolding in front of him. He paid close attention to every change in the battle, the Peasants dying and falling to the ground, the Small Higante Boars gradually being overwhelmed by the numbers of their enemy, and, most importantly, the close battle between the level 5 Small Higante Boar and the level 5 Peasant and its henchmen constantly attacking the giant.

While the other ten Peasants barraged it with their Savage Bite, the level 5 Peasant used its painful grip to wear down the Small Higante Boar and prevent it from moving.

What was revealed to Eon was a golden opportunity. And he began to carry it out immediately, without hesitation. Eon rushed in and used the Peasant leader as a ladder, standing right in its head, right in front of the Small Higante Boar. The Small Higante Boar could see him, but it couldn't move because of the forces pulling it down. All the Small Higante Boar could do was watch Eon bridge between the level 5 Peasant's mandibles and put two of his legs on both of them.

[Lethal Augmentation has dealt 1.45 damage.]

One of Eon's defining characteristics was his unwillingness to harm those he saw as allies. He was designed to be extremely loyal, and he placed a high value on loyalty and camaraderie by default. He, on the other hand, never saw the peasants as allies. He could have, but he didn't. He saw them as nothing more than pawns... stepping stones and throwaway tools

His personality was what made him the ideal seventh child.

Acedia, the Sin of Sloth... Apathy.

He would be a devoted child, sibling, and friend to those he perceived as allies... He would be an apathetic conqueror toward strangers and enemies.

Eon's damage shook both the level 5 Peasant and the Small Higante Boar. As a result, the level 5 Small Higante Boar fought to the death and struck the level 5 Peasant one last time with its skill, Tusks Strike.

[Savage Bite has been activated.]

Eon, on the other hand, charged at the Small Higante Boar with the least HP.

He landed on the Small Higante Boar's stomach and delivered the killing blow.

[Savage Bite has dealt 1.45 damage.]

Eon held on to the Small Higante Boar as it fell to the ground. Eon jumped away to attack the remaining Small Higante Boars. However, while Eon was on his way, one of the Small Higante Boar died. But it was insufficient to deter Eon, who lunged his head toward the nearest Small Higante Boar.

[Savage Bite has been activated.]

When his mandibles reached the hind leg of the Small Higante Boar, he immediately let go.

[Savage Bite has dealt 1.45 damage.]

He darted his head toward the last Small Higante Boar and dashed toward it. As Eon approached, the Small Higante Boar fell to the ground, still alive and fighting.

[Savage Bite has been activated.]

And before the last Small Higante Boar died, Eon grabbed its head with his mandible and delivered the killing blow.

[Savage Bite has dealt 1.45 damage.]

Both the level 5 Peasant and the level 5 Small Higante Boar fell to the ground behind him. With its final struggle, the Small Higante Boar managed to hit the level 5 Peasant, but was defeated by a swarm of level 1 Peasants.

The battle was over, and both groups' strongest members were killed.

Then there was complete silence...

Eon paused for a second and did not move; after some time, his gaze wandered and he stared at his own stat board floating in the air.
