Sword God in a World of Magic

After around two hours, the team reached the bottom of the crater, leaving the troublesome icy needles behind.

But now, they had to climb the gigantic and long slope to the north. The Volcano Wyrm Zone had a very high altitude. After all, the Zone was essentially one gigantic mountain, over ten kilometers tall.

After a bit of climbing, the officer and One noticed something.

One went over to Zero. "As my first order, I don't want you to get involved."

Zero had also noticed what was going on, and he nodded.

"Boys, who wants to prove themselves?" the officer shouted with a smirk to the team behind him. "Who's willing to take on an Early General Stage beast with only two people?"

The Bootlickers wanted to jump forward to prove themselves, but when they heard that they were only allowed to fight in a pair, most of them gave up.

But there were still some of them that were interested.

"I'm willing," One suddenly shouted.

The Bootlickers gnashed their teeth when they heard One shout. Right now, they regretted not shouting sooner.

"Fine, and who will be your partner?" the officer asked with a smirk.

One looked over at Two.

Two realized what One had planned, scratched his chin, and nodded. "I'm also willing," he shouted.

"Alright, then get to it," the officer shouted. "There's a Hardfire Spider to the east of us. Everyone else, you can take a pause and watch our comrades fight!"

Right now, some of the Bootlickers were happy that they didn't jump forward while the Scumbags only snickered.

A Hardfire Spider had a deadly fighting style. It wasn't uncommon for a team to have a casualty while hunting one.

One and Two didn't seem to mind as they charged towards the east.

After some seconds, the two of them noticed a two-meter-tall and very wide spider in front of them. It was seemingly made of hardened magma, and it quickly noticed the two people charging at it.

"How confident are you in killing it?" One asked.

Two took out the long needle-like spear from his back. "This weapon is made to kill beasts."

"Great," One said. "Then, I will be the distraction while you kill it."

After One said that, he charged forward. The others couldn't tell what kind of ability he was using, but One had become very fast while charging forward.

CRRRK!

The ice around the spider turned into steam as its body began to glow in a hot and bright light.

Then, it also charged toward its opponents.
