?1637 Struggle


    As expected from a King ss Monster, when Felix used his light that could make Alexej''s attack disappear, he failed to do so this time. The wind flickered and weakened.


    Luckily, this weakened wind allowed Felix''s de to cut it, splitting the pressure into two. The wind hit the building on the two sides and burst out like an explosion, destroying the building.


    *Boom!*


    "…" Felix nced to the sides, never expecting the monster to be this strong. Even if he joined hands with Ruth, he might not be able to win against him.


    Felix saw the starfish about to make his move, looping around him since his priority was to stop Ruth from destroying their mountain.


    Unfortunately for him, Felix used his light and transformed his body into one. His body vanished, rming the starfish.


    "!!!" The starfish felt a presence moving at a speed he''d never seen before. He instinctively punched to the left as the light gradually formed Felix''s figure.


    The moment the punch hit the light, Felix''s de stopped it, albeit the punch was so strong that it pushed the sword back, forcing Felix to use both hands just to stop this punch.


    "Tsk." Felix clicked his tongue. ording to Theo, there were five stages for an Order user. They were just one step away from the third stage, but this monster was much stronger than them.


    ''Fourth… or even the Fifth Stage.'' Felix muttered, wondering how he could deal with a monster of this level.


    He nced at the tower again to see Ruth''s progress.


    The arrow gradually formed. From the looks of it, ten percent of the arrow had been created. It was good to know the arrow would bepleted sooner orter, but if he roughly calcted the progress, Felix thought Ruth needed five to ten minutes to finish the arrow. The longer it took, the more ferocious this starfish would be.


    "Get away!" The starfish turned its body around and punched Felix, knowing he had to blow Felix away somehow if he wanted to reach Ruth.


    Felix smiled and blocked this attack with his de. The starfish had powerful strength. If Felix took this head-on, he would be pushed back at the very least.


    That was why the moment the sword touched the arm of this starfish that was as hard as a rock, the sword slid on the starfish''s hand. Felix approached the starfish''s body as he spun his body and bent his knees, hitting the middle of the starfish.


    To his surprise, the area he struck was covered with ck color. He had seen this multiple times every time he fought against someone with a metal affinity.


    Since hepletely captured the starfish''s attention, Felix asked the starfish in order to provoke him. "Your body is metal? Are you sure you''re not rusty living in the sea?"


    "Y-you!" The starfish roared and punched Felix with this metal fist.


    Felix used his light ability to get away again.


    Seeing Felix appear ten feet from him, the starfish would take that chance to make its way toward Ruth if not for the fact that Felix positioned himself between them even when dodging.


    "…" The starfish furrowed his eyebrows, realizing Felix was adamant about stopping him no matter what.


    Hence, he had another idea.


    He pped his hands, making a clicking sound that traveled in all directions.


    Suddenly, numerous roars resounded across the area as all monsters, including thend monsters, seemed to have been alerted.


    "…" Felix''s expression turned grim.


    "It seems that you''re trying to protect her no matter what. But can you stop all of these creatures by yourself?" The starfish smirked.


    Felix saw two monstersing out behind the building, making their way to the starfish.


    At the same time, the starfish leaped forward, trying to stop Felix so that the other monsters could defeat Ruth.


    "It seems she can''t do anything when concentrating her Magic Power like that. Then, don''t me me…" The starfish smirked and smashed Felix''s sword, trying to push him away.


    But once again, Felix''s de slid on the monster''s hand, making its way toward its neck. The starfish reinforced the neck with its ability, but the light on Felix''s sword shot forward and looped around the neck.


    "!!!" The starfish widened his eyes in shock. ''He is trying to attack the back of my head?''


    The starfish was shocked, but his reflex was still good enough to put up a thick metal on the back of its head, blocking Felix''s attack. "But this is not good enough!"


    He looked so proud when defeating Felix. It might be due to the fact that the sea monsters had been oppressed the whole time because of the trash or not, but the sea creatures seemed to enjoy defeating a human.


    Unfortunately, it also showed how inexperienced they were when fighting a human. The moment the light bounced off the back of the neck, the light expanded and curved around them, turning into a de that cut everything.


    "!!!" The starfish was surprised because the extended light hit both monsters in the head. Thetter tried to stop it, but the power of a King was simply different, rendering them useless.


    "Kh." The starfish gritted his teeth because his n actually didn''t work. Still, there were plenty of monstersing out, so it was just a matter of time. As long as he kept pushing Felix to the limit, one of the monsters would slip past him sooner orter.


    However, Felix once again shattered that thought when he struck the starfish from the side. The light extended again. Instead of bouncing on the starfish''s body, the light actually shot forward and bounced on the ground, heading straight to the monsters.


    The monsters tried to use their strength to stop at least one attack from Felix, but the moment they touched the light, thetter obliterated their body, creating a huge hole in their body.


    "…" The starfish clicked his tongue and leaped back, trying to find another way to handle Felix. If this continued, he wouldn''t be able to stop Ruth''s attack.
