"Huh? Found you! Hahaha!" The Butcher gave them a twisted smile before letting out a thunderous roar.
A powerful shockwave surged through the forest, ripping trees from their roots. Dirt and debris shot into the air as the ground shattered, forming a massive crater beneath him.
"What a beast he is… this is gonna be rough!" Kame yelled as the overwhelming force of the shockwave left them paralyzed.
The ground trembled as the Butcher charged toward them with insane speed. Kame was still trying to figure out how to close the power gap because he overpowered them in every way. Raising his massive cleavers, he slashed downward.
"Wind Fairy: Gale Steps!" Cola screamed as she unleashed her power in a desperate attempt to save Kame. She boosted her allies' speed by 20%, making them even faster than before.
Gin met the Butcher's strike head-on, swinging his Divine Dual Axe with full force, blocking the cleavers midair.
A voice surged through their ears.
"Aaaaaah!" Gin roared, his voice filled with desperation and the will to fight.
"FUCK! POWER GAP! FUCK THIS FORSEST!! AND FUCK YOU!! YOU GONNA PAY!"
His attack forced the Butcher to take a step back. But then, with a sinister grin, the Butcher unleashed a condensed aura filled with bloodlust. His cleavers glowed menacingly as he struck Gin with terrifying force.
Gin was sent flying. Dirt and rocks scattered as his head scraped against the ground, his body finally crashing into a slope. A thick cloud of dust rose around him. His body lay motionless, thick streams of blood trickling down his forehead. An intense pain surged through him.
He gasped, muttering, "Wha… th… fa… My breath… feels like someone's stabbing me in the chest."
The forest blurred around him, shadows shifting as his vision began to fade.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing to my brother?!" Kame roared in fury, his eyes saws his brother lying motionless and completely Drenched in blood
Summoning his Praying Serpent Mantis, he leaped forward.
Wind Fairy: Sylph's Boon!
Kame launched himself at the Butcher with razor-sharp speed.
Praying Serpent Mantis: Twin Blood Cutter!
In an instant, he closed the gap and slashed through the Butcher's tough skin.
"Huh?!" The Butcher couldn't comprehend what had just happened. Blood sprayed from his body, yet he hadn't even seen Kame move.
Before he could react, Kame struck again—this time, ripping into his back and tearing his flesh apart.
"It's not enough, Cola! I need more!" Kame shouted, feeling the true power of her support spells.
"Is this what a support warrior can do? Insane! If this beast had any intelligence, he'd have aimed for her first."
Not wasting a second, Kame targeted the Butcher's massive legs—partially covered by his torn black pants. Due to his immense size, he was an easy target. With Cola increasing his offensive power and agility by an additional 40% and 20% respectively, and his enchanted boots further boosting his speed by 50%, Kame became a blur of slashes.
His Twin Blood Cutter rained down relentlessly, tearing apart every inch of the Butcher's flesh. The monster couldn't even keep up.
The Butcher stood still, his body covered in deep, oozing gashes. Thick streams of black blood slithered down his wounds, drenching his form.
"I think it's over now. You're done for!" Kame roared.
Praying Serpent Mantis: Twin Blood Cutter!
He charged forward, aiming to deliver the final, fatal blow.
But as he soared mid-air, the Butcher lifted his head and gave him a cold, deathly glare.
"Not yet, baby!"
A sinister aura burst forth from the Butcher. Channeling his immense bloodlust, he concentrated it into his fist. His very flesh tore apart from the sheer power as he struck.
Their attacks collided.
A red, dreadful energy pulse exploded upon impact, completely obliterating the surrounding area. The trees shattered. The ground was torn apart.
Kame held his ground against the Gold-Rank Mutant, but the sheer force of the Butcher's strike sent him crashing into the earth. The impact shattered the ground, forming another massive crater.
Bloodied and battered, Kame lay motionless. His body screamed in pain.
"Wha… what a beast… I can't even breathe… I… might've broken all my bones."
With each agonizing breath, his vision blurred. The world around him darkened.
