The Dragon Soul Forging

40. Chased by a Powerful Monster

Inside the forest a group of five humans were fighting against seven monsters.

One of the monsters was a Worshiping Grasshopper with four arms. The praying mantis swung its arms towards a Long black haired girl.

The girl immediately held him down using the Iron Centipede Shell shield. The attack was repelled, but another attack came close to injuring the girl.

“Yuki retreat!.” sounds heard from behind. Hearing that girl named Yuki immediately jumped back before the attack praying mantis hit his body.

Then a spear shot through the chest of the Worshiped Grasshopper. The screams of pain sounded.

Not wasting a chance, Yuki immediately smashed his shield on the spear that injured the chest of the Worshiping Grasshopper, making the spear stab deeper and then pierced through the monster's chest.

The praying mantis was eventually killed by the teamwork.

Yuki took the spear in the chest of the Worshipful Grasshopper and threw it back at its owner, “Raya!.”.

Raya received back her spear, she immediately helped her other comrades to fight the monsters. Other than praying mantis there were no troublesome monsters for the group.

Only the Iron Shell Centipede had strong resistance but was easy to attack. While the Dagger Rabbit is so easy to handle after understanding how the monster maneuvers move.

Finally after ten minutes the group managed to win the battle.

“Yuki's drink.” Raya gives Yuki some drinking water.

“Thanks Kingdom.” Yuki smiled brightly as she received the drinking water from her friend.

Two other people in the group approached the two.

“Unbelievable, you two can actually defeat a Praying Grasshopper with just two people and it takes less than two minutes. How did you guys do it?.”

Hendry, the man in his thirties railed against the two girls with various questions. Making Raya and the resting Yuki feel uncomfortable.

“Stop that Mr. Hendry, you're interrupting the time they rest.” said a police officer with a pin of Ridwan's name on his chest.

“What's wrong, I just asked. Is it that hard to talk while resting?.” Hendry felt the slightest sense of guilt after interrupting the break time of the two girls who had taken the most part in the battle.

“You can find out how to easily fight the Worshipful Grasshopper monster if you watch the video Goblin Factory.” said Raya.

But the reply actually made Hendry inflamed, “Heeh... You say the way of fighting that you use is the same as that goblin did? That's a lie isn't it?.” the man refused to believe.

Goblin Factory is the name of a social media account that has provided benefits to the world, because the content contains various tips for surviving monster attacks.

But some people don't like the account for a variety of reasons. One of them is because there are goblin monsters that often cross together in the content creator.

While the other reason the content creator himself never showed his face so some people think it is too suspicious.

Various speculations about the account owner began to appear, ranging from the account owner is a monster even a demon, to the most ridiculous is the accusation if the account owner is a God.

Sighing deeply, I did not care what Hendry said. “That's your own choice for not believing. So enjoy the Rats and Rabbits that you can get.” said Raya.

Hearing that Hendry was certainly angry because the girl had made fun of him by saying Hendry could only hunt Rabbits and Rats. But he was not a rash person, Hendry harbored his anger for now.

“Mbak yu, I'm done!.” the voice of a child is heard from behind. He was the last member of that group who was none other than the younger brother of Raya.

Rohid, the fifteen-year-old boy came with a body covered in blood. In his hand he carried a well-skinned rabbit and several centipede shells.

“Good work Rohid, you did well.” He gave his brother compliments

“Uwaaa.. thanks Rohid, thanks to you I no longer need to dismantle the monster corpse.” Yuki bends Rohid with tears of happiness.

“Eh.. uh.. I'm happy to help.” Rohid was a bit groggy as Yuki hugged him.

Hendry and Ridwan just silently looked at the young people in front of them. Raya is only 22 years old and so is Yuki. However both of them possessed much greater strength than the more mature ones, it was evidenced by the sheer number of monsters they had hunted.

Rohid had just joined his older sister after their mother recovered from a rat infestation.

Judging from wherever their strength made no sense according to the two adult men. Though everyone can learn to fight monsters on the ‘itu’ channel, everyone should be able to become stronger, and the fact is that it is.

But the two adult men felt something was different with the two girls.

After resting, they went back to hunting. Raya, Yuki and Rohid are the most active on the hunt, while the two men only pay attention while occasionally providing assistance.

“Hey do you intend to go even deeper!.” Hendry said in a high tone as if giving a warning.

“True, you must not go deeper than this area because it is very dangerous. A more violent monster is over there.” Ridwan also gave a warning.

Raya and Yuki stared at each other, Yuki also gave a small nod.

“Alright I understand, we will return now.” Reply Kingdom.

Before they go to the highway staring at the area that has not been explored, the area is the origin of the monsters that messed up the city of Sawi. Everyone believes that's where the Dungeon is.

The spring!

“Hah!.” Raya suddenly fell silent. Seeing that Yuki asked what was the matter. But Raya did not answer him, her body felt a strong bite.

“Raya, what is it?.”

“Mo... monster is not I don't know, I feel such a strong presence starting to approach.” said the stammering Kingdom makes everyone panic.

“What is it coming from unexplored areas? Then let's go back!.” said Yuki.

“No, Yuki. That feeling actually came from the direction of the city.”

Instantly everyone panicked to hear the words Raya. During the hunt they always relied on the instinct that the girl belonged to.

The instinct that the girl belonged to helped in the hunt for safer monsters.

If the girl sensed that the power of the monsters could be resisted then they would fight against the monster as well, but otherwise if the Kingdom felt the monsters were too strong then there was no chance to fight against the monster.

So when you see the Kingdom shivering in fear like this now can be ascertained if the monsters that come are impossible for them to fight.

Raya immediately leads her group to another road to avoid monsters. But as much as they can change the path the monsters can always follow

“They track us.” said Kingdom who is still frightened.

“Sial this is your fault for bringing us closer to the Dungeon!.” Hendry started to light Raya. Ridwan tried to calm the man down.

“Then what now?.” asked Ridwan.

Trying to calm down, Raya was silent and thought up. “There is no other way. Rohid goes back to the refugee camp along with the others, I will hold the monster.”

“No brother I beg you to let me be with you!.” ask the young man while crying.

“True, I will also be visiting. You won't be able to survive alone without me as a defense.”

Raya cannot reply to Yuki's words because two will not be able to hold the monsters for a long time without the help of her best friend.

But he still forced his brother to return. “Rohid you must return safely in order to become a mother!.” snapped Kingdom.

“Ta... but..” Rohid started crying.

Raya immediately asks Ridwan to bring Rohid, the man immediately raised Rohid and took him.

“Alright, let's go immediately mister Hendry..... uh where did he go?.”

Hendry left that place first. “That jerk's fuckin' guy got away first!.” Ridwan cursed when he realized that he had been left behind.

“No we're late!.” Raya screamed loudly when she fell as if her surprise had disappeared due to the pressure from the monster force that had already found them.

Rohid immediately broke away from Ridwan's arm and bent his older sister. Yuki who did not feel anything immediately put on a defensive position.

Ridwan doesn't know what to do.

Then when the tension gets stronger suddenly...

Woof!

Guk woof!

The sound of dog barking was heard from within the forest. Two dogs ran towards them.
