“They must be just kidding, right?”
Looking at Ark who was standing alone in front, the people from the Blade of Areia were stunned. They can't believe what they see or hear. However, what happened next made their eyes even more wide-eyed.
The members of the Sword of Sufferings instantly rose. They raised their respective weapons then walked towards the Ark with their respective teams. Leaving the Scorpio silent in its place and not knowing what to do.
“Don't I say I only need 5 teams? Do rotation turns?”
Hearing Ark's words, they looked doubtful.
Back then, Ark also saw how excited and determined they were. Raising the corner of his lips, the young man again said.
“Because you guys seem so excited, then I won't stop you guys. That means, I also do not allow you to retreat in the middle of the road. Keep fighting until it's over even if your body is tired and collapses.
So, have you guys really decided?”
“YA, CHIEF!!”
Looking at them, Ark pointed towards the blue coral crabs that came out of the cave with his sword and then said.
“See those six five big crabs? Five teams will keep five big crabs in level 3 the size of that car and I'll take care of one. The rest of the team will take care of the level 1 and level 2 crabs. Once the level 3 crabs are cleared, all help in getting rid of the others.
Then finish them off.”
“OOHHH!!”
Following Ark's orders, everyone immediately rushed forward excitedly. Those people looked ferocious and resolute, but they did not dare to violate the Ark's orders at all.
They also know the limits. That's why those people did what Ark said because it was the most reasonable choice.
Swooshes!
Together with a gust of wind, Ark's figure disappeared from people's sight. When it appeared, he had passed through hundreds of blue coral crabs, heading towards a giant crab the size of a car without the slightest bit of slowing down.
Klang's! A BANG!
The giant claw shot towards Ark's neck, but it was immediately parried by the young man without changing expression. He then kicked hard at the creature right in his head. Making a car-sized crab bounce dozens of meters back.
“Cih!”
Seeing that there were no scratches on the creature's body at all, Ark immediately clicked dissatisfied. The young man approached him again. Seeing his arrival, the blue coral crab furiously swung its claws.
This time Ark did not fend it off. The young man sped up his movements then darted beside the giant crab. Not yet had the creature had time to react, it slashed down powerfully and quickly.
SLASHY!
A loud thumping sound rang out as the giant claw fell to the ground. The giant crab instantly made a shrill sound due to the pain he was suffering from. However, the creature did not have the chance to retaliate because Ark stabbed the stomach and then cut it to the back.
BRUK!
The body of the giant crab fell to the ground, twitching a few times before it stopped moving. Just then, Ark flicked his sword to remove the fishy liquid from the crab's body while muttering.
“One.”
Led by Ark, the 65-man fight against thousands of giant crabs went very smoothly without any obstacles.
In the middle of the fight, the Blade of Areia tried to take part but ended up being pushed back because it was not the opponent of the level 2 blue coral crab, let alone level 3.
Half a day later, the battle finally ended with the victory of Sword of Sufferings and Blade of Areia.
Due to the death of a level 4 crab king with the size of a mini bus, the level 1 and level 2 crabs escape to the lake. I really don't dare to stay in that place any longer.
Ark also did not ask his subordinates to chase after them. Not only so that the species did not become extinct, but because going to the lake carelessly was the same as asking for death.
Right now, everyone was looking in the same direction.
Above the head of the enormous crab king, Ark sat down with an indifferent expression on his face. His body was wet from the blood and water from the crab's body. But the young man did not care. He simply stared towards the battlefield with his red eyes without saying anything.
Even so, everyone who saw him felt respect. Either it was due to a different strength or aura than ordinary people.
In front of everyone's shocked eyes, the young man tore through the crab meat with a single bite then swallowed it.
“As I expected, due to the different shape of the claw and very closed, the meat is non-toxic.”
Ark already knew the information, but did not immediately say it because it looked strange and suspicious. That was also why Ark asked his subordinates to neatly cut off the claw piece.
“Are you serious, Chairman?”
Of all the people, Gordon was the most pleased when he heard the information. A while later, the sound of happy cheers sounded from the mouths of the Sword of Sufferings members.
“It's true.” Ark nodded lightly.
The conformation of the Ark made people shout in excitement. Glad to find new sources of food.
“That means tonight we're going to party, buddy!”
“Truly shocking! After fighting hard for not using ‘itu’, it turns out there is a hidden reward. My tiredness just got swept away!”
“Hahaha! You're correct. Only using the named is still too heavy for us, especially if imitating the chairman who does not use it at all.”
“...”
What people mean by ‘itu’ is certainly miracle root.
In this mission, Ark asked his subordinates to use only the first ability so as not to frighten people. Whereas himself only fought with physical capital and sword skills.
It clearly made it quite difficult against a level 3 creature let alone above it.
“By the way, before partying, you must take the loot first.
In this fight, what was most precious was the upper shell of the body of the giant claw. The rest, such as the legs and internal organs are not suitable for consumption. Making it into fertilizer or something is obviously unrealistic.
So, just throw it into the black lake and let it be the food of the fish and other lake dwellers.”
“Understanding!” answer them in unison.
Looking towards the surviving and kicking (very healthy) members of Sword of Sufferings made Dedric, Ian, and the other members of Blade of Areia both envious and amazed.
At that moment, Ark approached Dedric and said.
“You can back off and find a safe place first. We won't take any prey you kill, so you can rest easy.”
“I understand, Mr. Ark. But is it really edible? Non-toxic or some kind of dangerous parasite?”
“It is up to you to believe it or not. If you believe me, I suggest taking the whole claw. Not a cracked one because it may be exposed to splashes of blood or dirt.”
“Thank you very much.”
Dedric bowed politely to Ark. Not only him, his subordinates did the same. Unless they are severely injured or unconscious, they cannot move their bodies freely.
“Sama-sama.”
Ark nodded lightly before walking back. However, his steps suddenly came to a halt before he again said.
“Although the king of crabs is dead and most have fled to the lake, it does not mean that no one is still left in the cave. To prevent something unnecessary, we better retreat to a safe point and set up a tent to rest.
We will continue the search tomorrow.”
Seeing Ark leave after saying that, Dedric nodded politely.
“Understanding.”
Raising his head back, Dedric stared towards Ark and the troops from Sword of Sufferings with a complicated expression. It was really unexpected that the difference between the two groups could be so extreme.
Just then, the man's eyes emitted a strong determination. It seems to have reversed its decision!
