Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Invincible

Inside the northern part of Kegali's great forest, a diverse group of monsters lived. Where every single monster has the potential to become powerful. Even those who appeared to be the weakest could rise through the ranks and dominate the great forest's hierarchy. Where there was no such thing as potential limitation. However, such a wonderful opportunity came with a test—a test of survival and the desire to succeed.

The sun shone brightly through the leaves and trees that covered the land. The rustling of the monsters feeding on the plants accompanied the movement of the plants. A group of five—the average group size for their species. Unlike on the Red Island, members of their race living in Kegali's free land had grown much stronger. They not only grew in size, but also in capabilities and destructiveness.

A brown 1.5-meter tall Slug from its eyes to the ground, with a body length of 3 meters, lay on the ground. Its massive mouth was feeding on grass and dwarf plants, while its eyes were constantly moving to spot any approaching enemies. This one, like the other monsters on its level, had thrived in this dangerous forest for years, eventually becoming one of the most powerful monsters on the ground. Despite its seemingly innocuous appearance, few would approach it, especially since it was never alone.

Four of the Lesser Bulldozlug's companions had been following it for years. They thrive in Kegali together, led by the Lesser Bulldozlug, while protecting each other with their lives.

It was customary for the Slug evolution line to form groups of units with similar stats. Slugs with different stats had been treated as a different race, and at times as enemies. The difference in stats was easy to spot because different stat Slugs were colored differently. Their skin was various shades of brown, with the strength-based Slugs having the darkest. Despite belonging to the same evolutionary line, they were attacking each other based on their colors.

The Spiky Geo Slugs were slightly dispersed, just far enough apart to communicate with one another and respond if one of them was attacked. The Lesser Bulldozlug, the strongest, was always in the center of the formation, fully guarded by the other four and always ready to rush to the rescue if an attack occurred. This formation made it difficult for any land dwellers to approach them, particularly given their keen sense of smell. They could detect monsters from a distance of up to 100 meters.

Because of their long-ranged abilities, they could easily fight back against any attacker from the ground or even the sky. Specifically, the Stone Cannon of the Lesser Bulldozlug, a long-ranged strength-based attack that was already level 20.

Their defensive line was nearly impenetrable... Nearly.

When they smelled a monster flying toward them at such a high speed, the Lesser Bulldozlug and the four Spiky Geo Slugs were drawn in. When they realized the monster was approaching their formation, they immediately gathered and prepared to fight. They recognized the scent as coming from a Lesser Bildabear. They had fought this type of monster numerous times, so encountering one was not surprising.

They used Stone Spikes, a skill that guaranteed their attacker would be retaliated against if they took damage.

Eon rushed down toward his newly discovered target, his hands revealing sharp ice claws. His growl could be heard as his gaze was drawn to the largest Slug in the group.

However, getting close to his target was not easy. The Lesser Bulldozlug unleashed its most potent skill, aiming at Eon, who was charging at it. A massive rock ball rushed toward Eon. Eon didn't even pause, continuing his charge until he collided with the raging boulder of destruction.

Eon shielded his body with his arms and allowed himself to collide with the massive boulder. When they collided, the boulder managed to push him a meter away before losing momentum. The giant boulder thrown by the Lesser Bulldozlug fell to the ground.

The Bulldozlug's gooey eyes were immediately drawn to Eon... An unstoppable force.

[Stone Cannon has dealt 445 damage to your Ice Armor.]

[Lethal Augmentation has been activated.]

[Icy Touch has been activated.]

Eon's wings waved as he accelerated his dive toward the Lesser Bulldozlug. The Spiky Geo Slugs attempted to obstruct him with their skill, Mud Ball, but Eon did not even try to avoid it, knowing that none of them would cause him any significant damage. This was the clearest manifestation of Eon's laziness and stubbornness.

The barrage of Mud Balls hit Eon, but none of them managed to do any damage, let alone exceed his defense and Vanguard.

Eon, like a soaring winged champion, lunged his fist toward the Lesser Bulldozlug and slammed its head. When Eon touched the head of the Lesser Bulldozlug, he used his momentum to push its head to the ground. The agonizing growl of the Lesser Bulldozlug echoed as Eon slammed its head to the ground.

[Lethal Augmentation has dealt 320 damage.]

[Icy Touch has dealt 357 damage.]

The frozen body parts of the Lesser Bulldozlug, including its head and half of its long body, were crushed and scattered on the ground. The attack came on so fast that the four Spiky Geo Slugs were caught off guard. They were staring at Eon, who was standing on the frozen remains of their group's strongest member. The Lesser Bulldozlug was crushed in one fell swoop, with no time to fight back or properly react to the pain Eon had caused.

The most dangerous monster that had ever lived not only in the Kegali forest, but in the entire Giera, stood before them.

[Evolution necessitates hibernation. Finding a safe place to evolve is essential.]

However... The battle had not yet ended.

Eon spread his wings and displayed his ice claws to the four remaining Slugs. His bright eyes darted through them as he raised his head high. Then his terrifying roar echoed, causing chaos in the area.

[Lethal Augmentation has been activated.]

[Icy Touch has been activated.]

Eon rushed toward the two Spiky Geo Slugs closest to him, using his impressive speed. The Slugs attempted to fight back by using their skill, Body Slam, on him, oblivious to how Eon's abilities worked. It was the absolute worst skill to use against him. Rather than continuing his charge, Eon immediately stopped and let the four Spiky Geo Slugs hit him. He waited with his hands raised.

[Body Slam has dealt 138 damage to your Ice Armor.]

[Body Slam has dealt 138 damage to your Ice Armor.]

Then there was the fall of four frozen bodies to the ground. The four frozen bodies shattered upon landing.

[Lethal Augmentation has dealt 380 damage.]

[Icy Touch has dealt 428 damage.]

Almost immediately, an entire group of superior monsters was defeated without even putting up a fight. They were slaughtered and crushed into pieces.

[You have received 1.6 experience points.]

Eon knelt and flew away from the situation. His goal was easily attained. He made his way back home, where he would climb another evolution advancement. To become a more powerful species than he already was.

The hunt had ended... For the time being.
