An Extra’s POV

~SWISH!~

Adonis' golden blade swept through the air as he nimbly sped across the area in a cost of brilliant light.

Space around him became distorted as waves of energy flowed from his body. In a flash, he sliced up multiple Centipede Monsters and landed a finishing blow on the one wriggling at the end of the row.

~BOOOOOM!~

They all erupted, turning into chopped-up forms of bug meat, roasted by the intense radiation that Adonis ' attack gave off.

"Haa…" Mist escaped his lips as he looked behind him to see the actions of his teammates.

Billy was doing fine enough.

He was using his [Grand Fire Magic] to damage the Centipedes and also trap them in a concentrated position, while utilizing his Warrior-concentrated Skills to lend heavy blows and finish them off.

None of them stood even a modicum of a chance.

"Hiyaa!" He slashed some of the several legs of the Centipedes with his bladed arm, while also blocking their attacks.

He slowly chipped away at their strength, and right when they attacked and he blocked, he would go for a counter which involved slicing through their head, or cutting through their long torsos.

Either way, he fought in a more strategic way.

His major strength was evasion and defense, while striking at the perfect time.

By the time Adonis and Billy were done with their part, he was barely getting started on his end.
