Souta looked at the injured dark vine stinger with a gleam in his eyes. His body was exuding a heavy bloodlust. It's the second time ever since he came here in this world that he seriously wanted to kill his opponent immediately. The first time was when someone hurt Yuko in the Gripen city.

About Saya, Souta will forget it for now as his priority was to kill this monster.

[Pet Resonance]!

Souta activated the skill and he immediately knew that Yuko was fine because of their shared senses.

"Let me borrow your mana for a bit, Yuko," Souta muttered and a huge amount of mana gushed fort in his body.

[Transfer Boost]!

He then activated his skill [Transfer Boost] that will increase the energy he took from Yuko by twenty percent.

[Summoning], [Pet Resonance], and [Transfer Boost] were all skills that Souta learned from his teacher, Bargan. These three skills could help him and Yuko a lot when they were fighting an opponent stronger than them.

Souta's body was overflowing with energy. He tightly gripped the vajra sword and channeled the remaining energy of the sword into his body.

Ohm!

The color of his aura turned crimson. The killing intent in his eyes didn't trouble his reasoning at all.

"Graaa..." The dark vine eater lifted up its bloody head as it felt Souta's bloodlust. It looked at Souta and rage-filled its whole body. This man in front of him was the one who killed its master.

The ground crumbled as it took a step forward.

"Huff..."

Souta inhaled deeply and he slightly bent his knees. He imbued a large amount of his energy in his legs as he ignored the defense in his upper body. His upper body right now wasn't protected by his energy, so one hit from the dark vine stinger and Souta was gone.

"Stay here for a while, Yuko." Souta launched himself towards the dark vine stinger leaving these words to Yuko. Yuko could observe him through their resonance skill so she didn't have to worry about him.

Boom!

Souta arrived in front of the dark vine stinger in just a second. It was not surprising because he put all of his strength and energy into his legs.

"Ah!"

He shouted as he shifted his strength and energy into his left arm. The air in his legs disappeared as it went in his left arm. At the same time, he heard a system prompt in his mind.

*Ding!*

[Proficiency reached]!

[You've leveled up the skill Mana Manipulation to level 4!]

He used the momentum of his speed to launched a powerful blow on the stomach of the dark vine stinger.

Boom!

Ripples appeared on the body of the monster as Souta's punch landed on it. It flew in the air at high speed.

Souta looked at the dark vine stinger before he turned his head at Yuko. He opened his palm and left a [Shadow Ball] beside her so that he could instantly arrive beside her after his fight against the dark vine eater.

Tentacles like shadows formed in front of him and Souta used it to launched himself towards the dark vine stinger.

Swoosh!

Souta was thrown in the air and he used [Air Walk] to increased his speed.

Swoosh!

After a few seconds, he catches up to the dark vine stinger.

Roar!

The dark vine stinger roared angrily as the vines on its back stretched out and shot towards Souta.

Souta casted the [Ice Shot] spell and he stepped on it. He jumped and avoided the vines. He then used [Air Walk] to launched himself towards the dark vine stinger.

Bang!

He couldn't continuously use [Air Walk]. He could only use five steps in the air and he needed to wait for five minutes cooldown time.

Souta changed their trajectory and he launched both of them towards the ground.

Swoosh!

"Bryan! Lumilia! Brando! Come here!!"

He shouted as he stepped in the air and to increased their speed. They were so fast that they tore the wind in their wind.

[Shadow Bind]!

Tentacles like shadows formed around Souta's body. The tentacles bounded the limbs and vines of the dark vine stinger. He couldn't cast a spell inside a creature's body because it was protected by their inner consciousness. The only creatures who could do this were the gods, deities, or any other creatures at their level.

They continued to go down at a very fast speed. They were like a meteor that's falling on earth.

Swoosh!

Souta frowned and he waved his other hand. He casted the [Shadow Spike] spell. Several black spikes formed on the ground.

With their speed and height, Souta was sure that the dark vine stinger would at least take some damage from it. No, with its condition the dark vine stinger would suffer heavy damage from this fall.

Swoosh!

Souta stopped in the mid-air as he used [Air Walk]. The dark vine stinger continued to fall until it reached the ground.

Boom!

The impact it caused was massive enough to shake the dukedom. It sent ripples on the ground that caused the debris of rocks to shot up in the air. Some part of the land collapsed as it buried everything in the sewers.

Thud!

Souta landed on the ground safely as he looked at the dark vine stinger in the middle of a huge crater with a diameter of fifty meters.

"As expected of a peak third evolution monster," Souta commented as he saw that the dark vine stinger slowly stood up on its feet. He couldn't afford to get careless against this kind of opponent.

He wondered what happened to the guild master who fought this monster. He didn't know if the guild master was still alive or not.

A powerful rank B adventurer wasn't enough to defeat a peak third evolution monster despite it being injured because of its failed evolution.

His [Spike Spike] spell could barely pierce its tough body. A level 1 tier 1 spell wouldn't be able to pierce the powerful body of a monster like dark vine stinger. It has limited capabilities and it couldn't do much.

If [Shadow Spike] spell was the one that Souta chooses to level up to ten, then it would have the power to pierce the tough body of the dark vine stinger.

"Really... This monster is stronger than Gregory." Souta smiled and he poured his energy inside the vajra sword. He then raised his left hand and his shadows expanded. The whole ground turned black.

Swoosh!!

Several tentacles like shadows rose up from the black ground.

"Go!"

The tentacles shot towards the dark vine stinger. The monster roared in response and used the vines on its back to deflect the tentacles.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The vines were so fast as it blocked all the tentacles like shadows that Souta casted.

"As expected, it still not enough," Souta muttered as he channeled his energy in the vajra sword. The sword was exuding a powerful crimson energy.

He charged towards the dark vine stinger without hesitation. He had only one target and that's shattering the monster orb on the back of the dark vine stinger.

The monster orb already had a crack on its surface. It would easy for Souta to shatter it using a powerful dark grade weapon like [Vajra Sword Saya]. The dark vine stinger couldn't use best feram at this moment, that's why Souta was sure that he could break the monster orb if he got close to the dark vine stinger.

Roar!

The dark vine stinger roared powerfully as it destroyed the tentacles in the whole area. Then, several tiny wasps came out of its body. The wasps flew towards Souta at high speed.

"Parasitic wasps..." Souta muttered when he saw dozens of tiny wasps heading in his direction.

This didn't surprise him as he already guessed that Ranny has these wasps. Ranny used these wasps to control the duke and his family.

[Cross Moon]!

Souta slashed in the air in front of him and the crimson slash flew towards the wasps.

Swoosh!

It killed the wasps but not all of them. Some of the wasps continued to fly towards Souta.

Souta swiftly moved his body and dodged the wasps while slicing them apart. If one of these wasps managed to enter Souta's body, it would try to control his brain.

"Fuck off!"

He shouted as he stomped his foot on the ground and several spikes burst out piercing the body of the wasps.

Souta then heard a familiar loud voice.

"SOUTAAAA!!"

He immediately back off and a figure covered in flames crashed into the ground in front of him.

Boom!

The flames spread out and swallowed the wasps. It burned them into ashes.

"You're late." Souta sighed and said.

Two figures appeared behind him. They were Brando and Lumilia.

"That's our target, right?" Brando asked as he looked at the ominous dark vine stinger. He subconsciously gulped as he felt the bloodlust it was emitting.

"That's a dark vine stinger. A powerful monster at third evolution level." Lumilia muttered while looking at the huge body of the monster in the center of the crater.

"Yeah, we will kill it." Souta nodded at them.

"Oh~ that is a powerful monster. Can I tame it?" Bryan stood up as flames were around him. He looked at the dark vine stinger with an excited expression.
