After getting hit by the wooden spike, the explosion bug gets more enraged and destroys all the wooden spikes in front of him. Using this opportunity, Borkins charge at the humanoid monster while brandishing his war hamr.
"Eat this!! [Hamr Art - Thunderclap]." yelled Borkins.
*BAM* Borkin's attack hit the explosion bug directly and once again threw it away towards the nearby tree. Just as everyone wants to attack the explosion bug, they sll a very stinky pheromone.
"Urghh!! What is this sll!!" said one of the nearby combatants.
The sll is many tis more potent than before. So people could bear it and imdiately vomit on the spot. At the sa ti, the explosion bug begins to stand and look at everyone with hatred. A dent also could be seen on its body because of previous Borkins' attack.
Ever since it got its new form and upgraded, it constantly got attacked by the others. As an explosion bug, others always avoid it because of its strong stinky pheromone. Therefore it couldn't bear this kind of humiliation. It could be said this is also its first actual frontal battle.
Despite finally getting rid of his massive body and upgraded into fifth grade, it still couldn't kill this lower grade human and only receive the beating. Its pride as the fifth monster couldn't tolerate this kind of humiliation anymore.
After releasing its stinky pheromone towards the surroundings, it again charges at Borkin's as he is the one hitting him the most. Suddenly, its feet get entangled by a thick root from the ground [2nd Circle – Entroot].
Since the explosion bug didn't have any combat experience, Angus could easily predict its movent and path. He could easily obstruct the Explosion Bug using spells to stop its movent.
"Good job!! [Hamr Art - Thunderclap]." as Borkins once again charged at the explosion bug.
Although his previous wound is not giving too much damage to it, he still managed to hurt it. Looking at the approaching Borkins, the explosion bug decides to defend the incoming attack using its hands. *BAM*
At this mont, a spark cos out from their clash and creates an enormous explosion that envelops everyone. *BOOOMM* After the view cleared, more than half of the combatants imdiately died on the spot while a few managed to survive but were still heavily injured.
Angus himself is quite lucky since he stands quite far from the explosion. He even managed to drag a few of his bodyguards to retreat using [Beast Walk].
As for Borkins, unexpectedly, he still survives despite being the closest to the explosion. Still, he is thrown quite far away and also heavily injured.
"Hurry, help the others!!" command Angus towards his bodyguard.
At the sa ti, Angus also approaches Borkins and helps him stand up.
"General, Are you okay?" asked Angus.
"Urgghh… Don't worry, this small explosion could never kill . *Cough* *Cough*" said Borkins while coughing blood.
As an expert, Angus knows that Borkins's is heavily injured and needs treatnt as soon as possible. Borkins himself also knows his current condition despite his previous sentence. However, he still has other concerns, the fifth-grade explosion bug.
After the smoke settled, everyone could see the humanoid explosion bug still standing without various scorched marks on its body. But, overall, it still looks fine. Seeing this, Borkins knows that the situation has beco worse.
"General, drink this potion. I will stall it while the others evacuate." said Angus while taking his twin-blade artifact.
"What…" said Borkins while receiving Angus's potion.
Before he could finish his sentence, the explosion bug once again charged at Borkins with hatred. It still couldn't forget its grudge from before. Angus also didn't stay idle either and intercepted the explosion bug using Beast Walk.
In a mont, they imdiately face each other. The explosion bug imdiately swings its arm to fend off the human in front of him. At this mont, Angus made a vertical circular movent using its twin-blade [Twin Sword Art - Mirror Slash].
Suddenly, the explosion bug felt a strong force hit its body, and a large cut appeared across its body. Black blood leaked from the large cut. At the sa ti, he gets thrown back a dozen ters away.
"Huft..? luckily, he didn't have any fighting experience at all. In this case, I may be able to kill it." said Angus while feeling the numbness in his hand.
Although Angus's physical strength is monstrous, the fifth-grade monster strength couldn't be ignored easily. Mirror Slash is a high-level skill that returns the attack force it receives. There are so limitations to what kind of attack it could return.
However, this skill is a perfect counter against an amateur that only relies on its strength, like the explosion bug. Getting thrown back quite far from the clash with Angus, the explosion bug's mind couldn't understand how it got injured.
It just wants to fend off the young human in front of him with his hand before feeling a strong slash on its body. This kind of phenonon is mystifying and sowhat makes him afraid of Angus at the sa ti.
However, its pride as a fifth-grade monster also made him not want to retreat easily. The fifth-grade monster could be said as the pinnacle of existence below the monster overlord. Not many things could threaten its existence.
Feeling the intense fear towards Angus, once again, it releases a strong stinky pheromone towards the surroundings. However, Angus already anticipated this and imdiately shot a firebolt towards it. *BOOM*
The pheromone imdiately exploded and released a flash of fire towards the surrounding area. Unlike the previous explosion, this explosion is smaller and less destructive.
At this mont, Angus begins sweating a lot while keeping looking at the explosion bug direction [Firecast - Fire Wyrm].
After the smoke settled down, a large fire wyrm gripped the explosion bug and roasted it slowly. This is not a normal Fire Wyrm but a nature Fire Wyrm made of the fire from the explosion.
Using his nature Firecast, Angus created this Fire Wyrm and slowly roasted the explosion bug. On the other hand, the explosion bug tried to get away from the Fire Wyrm but couldn't do anything.
The nature Fire Wyrm is sowhat stronger and more tangible than the normal Fire Wyrm. The explosion bug could only get slowly roasted under the grip of the Fire Wyrm.
Feeling the dangerous situation for the first ti, it suddenly releases a burst of combustible pheromone at once. *BOOOM* Another large explosion occurred from the explosion bug.
The explosion sohow managed to extinguish the whole Fire Wyrm. However, the explosion bug also was not left unscathed either.
So parts of its exoskeleton are damaged. Its back is also heavily damaged from the Fire Wyrm slow roasting. Furthermore, It also loses three out of six arms it has. Despite its heavy injury, it still looked at Angus with hatred.
*PIIKK* Scread the explosion bug while releasing another pheromone. Angus decided to employ the previous tactic and shoot a Firebolt towards it. Seeing the incoming Firebolt, it imdiately takes a distance from it.
But, Angus didn't want to let go of the explosion bug easily and exploded the Firebolt in the air. *BOM* Although the explosion is quite small, it still managed to touch the pheromone and trigger another explosion. *BOOOMM*
Another big explosion appeared, but the explosion bug didn't stand still like before and imdiately ran towards Angus's location. As already predicted this behavior, Angus didn't try to create a nature Fire Wyrm but held an intense burning spear in his hand.
"Yeah, co here like a good boy." said Angus while having a predator look in his eyes.
Staring at Angus's eyes, the explosion bug feels like seeing death itself. If before, it only felt a dangerous situation, now it completely feels like facing death itself.
As a monster and living being, it always has subconscious fear towards death but seeing Angus piercing glare, the explosion bug not only subconsciously fears but also consciously fears Angus.
This kind of situation makes a lapse of judgnt in the explosion bug's mind and stops its movent for a mont. However, this stopping movent is all Angus needs to launch his next attack.
Without hesitation, Angus throws the overcharged Fla Spear in his hand towards the rooted explosion bug. *Whoosh* The Fla Spear traveled in the blink of an eye and hit the explosion bug exoskeleton before releasing a massive explosion. *BOOOMM*
Combined with the stinky pheromone, the explosion released this ti is enormous, even reaching towards Angus's spot. Just as the explosion touches Angus, he stretches his arm and opens his palms.
At this mont, the incoming heatwave imdiately gets absorbed into his Power Arm and protects him from it. After using the Power Arm for a while, Angus asked Vigo to customize his Power Arm to be able to absorb and store heat waves from the explosion.
Only the area behind Angus is still intact, while the surrounding is damaged. However, everyone ignores this kind of destruction and looks closely at the Fifth-grade monster spot. After the smoke cleared, everyone could see an explosion bug in a horrible appearance.
Its body is riddled with countless wounds and burns. The wound also releases black-colored blood that taints its whole body. Even its back and his wings also get damaged.. Still, despite the severe wound it has, it is alive.
