Leon took the lead and lunged at the monster earlier than the others. As he always did.

Without waiting any longer Rosie, Wiley, and Albert also immediately followed him. While Lola was behind reloading her crossbow.

'What an interesting monster,' Clyde thought to himself.

The monsters in the form of half-dinosaurs and half-men also immediately realized that they were enemies. It's unsheathed its sword which is a katana type sword.

The monster with the name Sapionus Rex shot with extraordinary speed to approach Leon. Its speed makes Leon taken aback and can barely fend off its katana swing.

*CLANG!*

Leon's hand trembled as he received the katana's slash. He grimaced and gritted his teeth at the sudden great pressure he felt.

While Sapionus Rex was focusing on Leon, Rosie came from behind Leon and immediately swung the hammer covered in lightning.

However, Sapionus Rex managed to notice the danger in time and jumped back. Making Rosie's hammer just hit the air where it was standing.

Rosie cursed inwardly and immediately swung her hammer forward, sending a lightning bolt toward Sapionus Rex Almost instantly.

But the half-dinosaur monster used its katana to block Rosie's lightning bolts.

"That monster can move fast," said Rosie.

"Yeah. We have to be faster," Leon replied. "I will face it head-on and you attack from the side."

Leon spoke to Rosie and Albert who were behind him. They all immediately understood and get ready.

Somehow, they got a strange feeling that the monster was waiting for the five of them to attack first. It was like... he wanted to see what they were capable of before it unleashed all of its power.

That feeling made Leon and the others feel uneasy. Meaning that the monsters weren't just normal monsters that would attack blindly.

The monster had an aura like a desire to find satisfying fights for itself. By the way, it drew and swung its sword, they could see that the monster was very skilled at using it.

The monster human's pair of eyes moved quickly to observe Leon, Rosie, and Albert's movements. Its gaze looked worried when it saw Albert approaching.

"HYAA!"

Leon swung his sword with all his strength. Sapionus Rex chose to dodge backward instead of taking the slash.

Then it thrust its katana towards Leon with a speed that Leon couldn't keep up with. So in the end the katana hit him square in the chest.

Luckily, Leon had time to activate his Skill so the katana didn't pierce his heart. Then, Leon gripped the blade of the katana very tightly.

The reckless movement seemed to be beyond the expectations of Sapionus Rex because its human eyes widened in shock.

It saw Rosie and Albert darting from Leon's right and left with their weapons ready to use. It tried to pull its katana however, Leon gripped it tighter not letting it go.

Sapionus Rex let out a raptor scream that sounded like an angry curse. It kicked Leon's body and let go of his katana causing it to jump backwards.

The monster lands after doing a backflip. It stared at Leon who was grinning at it with eyes full of fury.

"Now we got its sword," Leon said still with the same grin. "Let's not waste time."

Albert and Rosie nodded. They lunged towards Sapionus Rex but the monster was not that stupid and decided to keep approaching them when it was at a disadvantage.

Sapionus Rex opened its palms towards them. Then from the palm came out a very thick black smoke.

Sensing that it might be something dangerous, Rosie and Albert stopped their charge not wanting to take any risks.

"What is that?" Rosie asked with a worried frown.

"I don't know. Let's get back first!" replied Albert.

So they immediately retreated back towards Leon because the black smoke was getting closer to them.

However, while they were running backward, Sapionus Rex sliced ​​through the black smoke and shot toward the two of them with incredible speed.

"Watch out!"

Leon's voice came a few milliseconds later than it should have. Albert and Rosie didn't even have time to look back when Sapionus Rex's hand grabbed both of their necks from behind.

It yanked them, then slam them to the ground.

*BOOM!*

With a loud thud, Rosie and Albert's bodies hit the ground. They let out groans of pain. While Sapionus Rex smirked with that dinosaur face, making its face even more disturbing.

An arrow flew towards it from far behind Leon.

*CRAATT!*

Because it was still lost in ecstasy after successfully smashing Rosie and Albert, the Sapionus Rex was unable to dodge the arrow.

The arrow stuck in its right shoulder and made it bleed out. The Sapionus Rex released the two of them and jumped back to avoid Leon's sword slash.

Wiley came a moment later and fired his poison dart. This time, Sapionus Rex managed to avoid it with its incredible agility. 

It does something unexpected. The half-dinosaur monster dashed behind and got away from them.

"Did it run away?!" Wiley asked furiously. He intended to run after it, however, he immediately abandoned his intention because it sounded stupid.

So he turned back and approached Albert and Rosie.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

They said they were both fine.

"That monster isn't just strong, it's also fast," said Rosie.

"Yeah. Its speed is really troublesome," Albert added.

"It's running away now. What should we do?" Wiley asked.

"I didn't think that thing would run away," said Leon. "I think it took another weapon to attack us again."

Wiley stared at the katana lying on the ground behind Leon. he said. "That monster can even fight with a sword. I hope it won't use another weapon."

Lola and Clyde came up to them.

"Just be careful, it looks like it can use more than one weapon," said Clyde which immediately made their bodies stiffen.

"W-What?" Wiley asked in disbelief. 

Clyde answered him with a nod. "Even so, it won't kill you easily with your current Stats."
