Chapter 148: Clashing With the Bear

Booom!

The group of monsters in front of her were all shredded into pieces. At the same time, Diana began advancing at an incredible speed. And as she moved forward, the bronze rank monsters began attacking her as well. But still, none of them was capable of dealing with her.

With just a few arrows, she was able to deal with them. Additionally, she was not using her full strength. She was facing a group of monsters that had reached the first of the second level. There was not even a single loan of them that had reached the third level of the bronze rank.

For that reason, she knew that there was going to be a final battle. So, she had to preserve the energy in her body as much as possible. In this way, she was going to be having much of an impact during the final battle.

She knew that for a monster that was capable of commanding level 1 and level two bronze rank monsters, that implied that this monster had to be at least at the fifth level. Otherwise, there was no way that these monsters were going to agree to follow it.

"Diana, can you tell if Henry is currently okay or not? I cannot leave the battlefield now because the leaders of the monsters have begun making their moves." Diana heard Olivia’s voice coming from the walkie-talkie that she was carrying around with her.

"Oh, master is okay. He has already awakened. As for that necromancer, humph! I guess I don’t have to tell you about what his fate is going to be like." Diana replied proudly.

There was a moment of silence. After a while, Olivia’s relieved voice came through the walkie-talkie again. "It is good that he has already woken up. The leader of this group of monsters is definitely not simple. So, the more people that we possess that are capable of fighting with it, the better. We don’t know what might come after this monster tide."

"Don’t worry. I’m about to clear up the bronze rank monsters that are in this side. After I’m done, I’ll be heading there immediately." Diana responded. After that, she finally put her focus on the group of monsters in front of her.

...

Olivia on the other hand immediately relayed the information to all the other people that were possessing the walkie-talkie. With that, even Adam who had already begun making his way back to the territory was finally relieved.

And after that, he began slaughtering the monsters around him with even more fervor. Since his brother was now awake, there was no burden that was holding him down again.

All the others that had received the information that the necromancer was making a move were all relieved. And after that, they all began focusing on dealing with the group of monsters.

Anyway, knowing that Henry was currently awake, then, there was going to be no problem with him dealing with the Necromancer. After all, he was able to deal with another creature that was way stronger than the necromancer.

While all of this was going on, currently, Olivia was face-to-face with the bear. This bear was actually sent forward, implying that, it was the one with the lowest rank amongst the leaders of the monsters.

Anyway, Olivia focused on the bear in front of her, a stats panel appeared in front of her, showing her the information of the bear.

[Name: Tyrannical Bear

Race: monster race

Power level: Level 4 Bronze rank

Skills: ??? ]

Olivia frowned a little after she realized that the bear in front of her was actually at the fourth level of the Bronze rank. According to the previous observation, she had realized that it was at the third level. So, how come it had actually managed to reach the fourth level of the Bronze rank in just two days?

That was unless it had gone out for a killing spree. And, it ended up killing several bronze rank monsters, enabling it to reach the fourth level of the Bronze rank.

But still, there was something that did not make sense at all. That was the fact that, currently, there was actually a large group of monsters that had already reached to the Bronze rank. Moreover, despite the fact that they are only at the first or the second level, the bear in front of her had managed to increase its power by a single level.

That was something that was completely illogical. After all, how was it possible that they were able to level up, when it was so difficult to level up during this stage of the apocalypse where, the number of monsters that had reached the Bronze rank was actually low.

Anyway, Olivia was not given a chance to continue thinking much into this. The bear in front of her had already completed whatever it was looking at Olivia, and began attacking.

Roar!

The bear roared as it stood on its two limbs. And in the next moment, as the two forelimbs of the bear landed on the ground, the bear charged towards Olivia.

Of course, Olivia had already realized that, the monsters possessed way stronger innate physical bodies. This was just how they were born. So, if she wanted to deal with this bear, there was no way that she was going to fight against it head on.

Additionally despite the fact that she was actually a combat mage, that did not imply that she was actually that much physically strong as to be able to compete with the bear. So, she had to resort to other methods.

A blizzard suddenly appeared. And, the ice storm swept towards the bear that was charging towards Olivia. At the same time, Olivia moved out of the trajectory of the bear, knowing that, despite the fact that she was wearing an armor, if the beam managed to hit her, then, she was going to be injured nonetheless.

After all, the bear in front of her had better physical qualities. Moreover, it was a level higher than herself. So, she had to be careful when dealing with it.

The current blizzard that had blown towards the bear was way stronger than any that she had ever launched before. This was all thanks to the fact that, she had been training the ice manipulation So, other than the reduced consumption of the energy when she used her skills, the power of the skills had also increased.

The bear that was charging towards her suddenly roared. Although it felt that there was no way that this ice storm was actually going to be capable of killing it, but still, the chilling energy that was managing to seep into its body was affecting it from the inside.

It was as if it wanted to freeze the blood. Moreover, even the speed of the bear had begun reducing. And, this was something that infuriated this bear. After all, it felt that it was way stronger than the puny human in front of it, but, the attack that was launched by the other part was actually able to affect it.

Roar!

The bear released another roar. And in the next moment, A shockwave was produced. The power of the shockwave was so immense that it was able to clear at least half of the ice storm that had been summoned by Olivia through the blizzard skill.

Olivia was momentarily stunned. She had not expected that the bear actually possessed a skill that was capable of dealing with a three-star skill. Moreover, it was a strengthened version.

Still, she was able to react just in time. As the bear had just launched its skill, and it was just about to charge towards Olivia once again, Olivia attacked. She knew that in order to fight with this beer, she had to make sure that there was a distance that was maintained between the two of them.

Currently, she did not possess many skills that were capable of defense. So, she made sure to keep her distance. And this time, she launched an ice beam. And immediately after that, and ice prison was also activated.

The speed at which she was capable of using her skills had also improved. So, due to the fact that the distance between her and the bear was actually more than 100 m, and she was continuously retreating, the bear was not able to reach her before another skill was launched.

In the face of the ice beam, the bear waved its claws. It was intent in destroying the stupid things that were trying to prevent it from tearing apart the human in front of it.

Bang!

The ice beam was crushed. But still, the bear was also forced to move back by a few tens of steps. At the same time, the cold energy that was present in the ice beam began entering into the body of the bear.

And, the effect of the energy was still the same. It was intending on freezing the bear from the inside. Anyway, with the thick fur that was protecting the bear, there was not much of an effect of the ice attacks that Olivia was launching towards it.

The bear was just about to move forward once again, but, an ice cube suddenly appeared around it. And in no time, the bear was enveloped inside an ice prison.

Furious, the bear roared as it smashed its claws on the ice prison. But, the sturdiness of the ice prison was not to be underestimated. Despite the fact that the attack from the bear was able to shake the ice prison, it did not manage to break it.

On the other hand, Olivia looked at this scene with a frown on her face. After all, she could tell that, despite the fact that the bear was only a single level above her, the strength that it possessed was way above what she was expecting from a creature that was only a single level above her.

’There’s something wrong with this beer. Can it be another creature that can also fight against those that are way above its level?’ Olivia asked herself with some doubts.
