At this mont, the explosion bug feels many kinds of negative emotions from fear, regrets, and anger. With this kind of turmoil inside its head and the miasma corruption properties, the explosion bug sanity begins to fade away.
In the next mont, the explosion bug scread loudly once again. *PIIIKKK* At the sa ti, Angus and the others feel a huge miasma pressure from the explosion bug.
'This is bad!! I need to kill it as soon as possible!!' thought Angus before charging towards the explosion bug.
Using the sa tactic as before, Angus shoots a firebolt to explode the combustible pheromone. *BOM* The explosion triggered again, but Angus didn't stay silent.
After summoning Nature Fire Wyrm and using Overcharge Fla Spear, Angus is still low on mana despite already using another mana potion. Since he already used the mana potion not too long ago, its effectiveness is still not as fast as before.
Unfortunately, Angus feels the urgency to kill the explosion bug as soon as possible with the thick mana it releases. Therefore, Angus could only use a frontal attack while waiting for his mana to regenerate.
Using the Fire mana stored in the Power Arm, Angus enveloped the twin sword and made it shine in crimson red color. Arriving in front of the explosion bug, which is still not recovering from the explosion, he brandished his sword to it [Twin Sword Art - Scissor Grip].
Sensing Angus' attack, the explosion bug didn't retreat like before but counterattacked Angus using its remaining three arms. *TINNGG* Both of them clashed with each other and released a shockwave towards nearby.
Clashing with the explosion bug, Angus feels like hitting a rapid-moving train and imdiately losing his montum. Then, both of them take a step back after getting the recoil from this clash.
Angus imdiately reacts and uses [Yin-Yang Balancing] to stabilize himself before attacking the explosion bug again. He notices his twin artifact managed to lt its exoskeleton and hurt it slowly. Seeing another attack, the explosion bug didn't escape and once again brandished its fist.
*Clang* They clash again for the second ti. Normally, with its broken stance and unfavorable position, Angus could easily win this confrontation. But, as they clash the second ti, he feels greater strength coming from the explosion than before.
Couldn't handle this monstrous strength, Angus could only retreat. At the sa ti, the explosion bug was howling like crazy. *PIIIKK* Then, its whole body was covered with thick miasma and stopped bleeding from its wound.
At the sa ti, its eyes beco bloodshot with a crazed expression. The explosion bug entered the state of Enraged.
It is a unique state where the monster's overall capability is boosted many tis while sacrificing its clarity. This state is why monsters are very difficult to deal with.
Looking at the explosion bug entering the enraged state, "Hurry, retreat, move away from here!!" shouted Angus before focusing on the explosion bug.
Suddenly, the explosion appeared in front of Angus while brandishing its covered miasma fist. Didn't dare to receive the enraged fifth-grade monster, Angus imdiately employed the domain [Domain - Yin Yang Stance].
A yin yang diagram instantly appeared below Angus and the explosion bug. The ti feels like stopping inside Angus's domain. In spit second, Angus brandished his twin blade and used the explosion bug force against itself [Twin Sword Art - Mirror Slash]. *BAMMM*
A strong repulsive force hit the Enraged Explosion Bug and threw it far away. Seeing Angus once again thrown back the enraged explosion bug, most of the nearby combatants feel relief. However, Angus knows this is not enough to kill the fifth-grade monster.
'What a strong power!! I need to hold it until it cos out of its enraged state.' thought Angus.
"What are you doing!! Hurry, escape!!" shouted Angus as he found the other still not moving.
Then, a fast silhouette cos out from the explosion bug direction and charges at Angus rapidly. In a mont, Angus once again employs a domain while knocking back the explosion bug again. Seeing this situation, Borkins imdiately ordered everyone to retreat.
"Retreat, everyone!! Get away from here!!" commanded Borkins to others.
He knows that currently, they are only dragging Angus down since Angus is parrying the monster rather than avoiding it. Although the enraged explosion bug currently targets Angus, it may change targets and pursue them anyti while Angus runs away.
There are two most common ways to deal with an enraged monster. The first is to give it enormous damage to snap it from its enraged state. The second is to keep avoiding the monster until it runs out of stamina and cos out from its enraged state on its own.
The first way is too difficult unless they need a powerful attack to penetrate its defense. The enraged Fifth-grade monster is very durable as it has a thick miasma constantly covering its whole body and strengthening it.
That leaves Angus and the others to use the second thod. However, Angus couldn't run away and stall ti since the others were not retreating. The enraged monster is like a wild beast and could target anything surrounding it.
For the inexperienced explosion bug, this is the best way of fighting thod. Although its movent is simple, its strength and durability are many tis higher than before in an enraged state.
Hearing the Borkins order, everyone imdiately escaped from the location.
Before Borkins retreated, "Boy, did you need help?" asked Borkins to Angus, who once again fended off the enraged explosion bug using his domain.
"Just clear the surrounding area." replied Angus.
"Alright, don't you dare to die." said Borkins before reluctantly leaving Angus.
Borkins knows with his current injured body, it couldn't help Angus and only will drag him. Therefore, the best way for him is to temporarily retreat and wait until the explosion bug cos out of its enraged state.
After everyone retreated into the distance, Angus also didn't stay on his spot but imdiately went in another direction. Seeing its prey is escaping, the explosion bug directly charges at Angus while keep releasing a stinky pheromone.
Then, they enter into a ga of cat and mouse. During his run, Angus also didn't forget to keep shooting the firebolt to the explosion bug to burn its combustible pheromone and not let it accumulate. *Bom* *Bom* *Bom* A series of small explosions happen in the area.
Despite being buffed with thick miasma, the explosion bug couldn't manage to catch Angus at all. Since Angus's Beast Walk is swift and flexible. Angus could make a sharp turn to dodge the enraged charging monster behind him.
Although he keeps using Beast Walk and is quite tasking on his body and mana, it is better than using his domain to defend himself.
Unlike his stamina and mana that have monstrous regeneration, his chi is limited and can't be used infinitely. It is better to run stall the ti using his mana and stamina than using his domain that consud his limited chi.
*PIKKK* The explosion bug scream is occasionally heard all over the place while keeping pursuing Angus. Fortunately, there is no nearby monster as they are running away from the huge pressure coming from the explosion bug.
Therefore, Angus could keep running without worrying about facing another monster. Even if there is another stray monster, it will imdiately get killed by the enraged explosion bug as it also couldn't differentiate any foe or ally.
While Angus and the enraged explosion bug have a high-speed ga of chasing, the fight in the Fortress wall finally almost reaches its end. The incoming monster decreases in number and fewer monsters co out from the forest.
"Get hold of yourself!! The end is near!!" shouted Fosa.
Hearing Fosa's words, everyone imdiately went all out to kill the monster in front of them. Jayna and Anna also begin to fight more fervently to destroy the surrounding monster.
At this mont, a huge Fire Wyrm appeared and burned the monster in the field. *Whooshh* Seeing this, the exhausted soldiers and adventure imdiately cheer in joy.
Duke Jacob, Anne, and a few of the explosion squad finally managed to kill the sturdy Steel Broodmosther with difficulty and back towards the Fortress.
Arriving at the fortress wall from the sky, "Elder Fosa, where is Borkins?" asked Jacob.
"He and so fourth-grade combatant fight the new upgraded fifth-grade monster in that direction." replied Fosa in a hurry.
"Alright, I will go help them. Anne, let's go." said Jacob while imdiately flying towards the Borkins and Angus direction.
After a while, Jacob hears the continuous explosion sound in the distance. Then, Jacob finds Borkins and the heavily injured combatant coming in his direction.
Seeing the heavily injured Borkins, "Borkins, are you alright?" said Jacob.
"Don't worry about . Your boy is currently facing the enraged fifth-grade monster alone." said Borkins.
Hearing this, Jacob imdiately goes towards the explosion in the distance. He didn't even listen to Borkins explanation. Although Jacob is very cold towards others, he really cares about his family and will do anything to protect them safely.
Seeing Angus fighting the enraged fifth-grade monster couldn't help but make him feel worried about Angus's safety.
