"As I thought, you need to die quick," Stark, his anger so great that his aura covered his entire body, spoke.
After hearing Sierra's final phrase, he snapped, which was sothing extrely rare for him thanks to his ntal fortitude.
And before the archer could even finish her full sentence about the transformation of a pregnant classifier woman and the death of her unborn child, he was already right in front of her.
'?!'
Sierra being an archer ant that her vision and speed were far greater than any other class or types of monsters as she needed both to aim and also avoid.
She could see all of Stark's attacks coming, which was why she was confident.
And yet…
She didn't see that attack coming.
Before she could even realize it, with speed faster than even she could discern, he was already in front of her face.
"Join that arrogant angel, won't you," Stark smiled.
'SHIT!' Sierra couldn't avoid this attack, it was too fast.
~BOOOOOOOMM!!!~
The explosion of Stark's fist on Sierra's face was deafening, and the entire rift shook by it.
"-69382!" the damage output was also beyond anything a re level 26 could achieve.
[Sierra HP: 245618/315000]
She wouldn't die from this, but she was sent very far away, and the impact was so strong that she even traversed three of the giants trees inside the clearing, breaking their trunks and making them fall.
Her face was a bloody ss, a few teeth were broken, her mouth was bleeding, and her nose was probably broken.
The only thing that was fairly intact were her eyes, and that was only since they were more resistant than the rest.
Her bow still in hand, Sierra imdiately got up, she still retained her consciousness, and all she needed to get rid of the human was one simple arrow touching him.
"You... you monster..." she whispered, her voice barely audible as she looked ahead, seeing Stark slowly approach.
"You won't do it again," was all that Stark said, his aura pulsating around him.
'I- I can't shoot any arrow, it won't hit…' she had pointed her bow at him, but she didn't even have the confidence to shoot anything anymore.
No… it wasn't that she lost her confidence… it's just that she saw she couldn't win against Stark in his current state.
'I'm out of here,' she gritted her teeth, running away was humiliating, but it was better to run and survive than be arrogant and die.
"ARROW ESCAPE!"
Sierra grabbed an arrow, then transford its edge using her aura, going from a heart to a triangle.
Then she shot it down and disappeared in a blur of motion.
"See you at the end, human," she wasn't smiling anymore, her face cold: it was an invitation, and she awaited Stark at the boss area.
And just like that, she was teleported to the place she was supposed to be in since the beginning.
'…' Stark didn't care that she ran away as they would et up again soon enough, he couldn't leave this rift until killing her and getting that stack of arrows after all.
The aura around his body was slowly beginning to dissipate, but he still walked toward the cave, as calm as ever.
That anger he had just felt was completely different from his normal self, but he didn't really dislike it since it allowed him to beco stronger.
But as soon as Sierra disappeared and he began walking toward the cave… he heard rustling in the leaves of the giant trees, their shadows casting a sickly green glow over the clearing's floor.
He stopped in his tracks, his senses tingling as he knew that sothing was off, then he looked up.
And suddenly…
~SCREECH, CRASH~
A bunch of monsters jumped from all the nearby trees, attempting to stop Stark in his tracks.
They had been hiding inside since the beginning, just waiting for the human to pass to possibly trap him.
There were three types of monsters: the first were green-skinned, scaly beasts with sharp claws and a venomous bite, they looked like chaleons but more aggressive.
The second were brown monkeys with branches coming out from many parts of their bodies, they were rather tall, standing at around 3 ters.
And the third were vicious squirrels, of course much bigger than normal ones, they had red eyes and their skin was completely dark, they looked like demons and they were thirsty for bloods.
'Perception…' Stark, knowing that he would have to fight lots of them before reaching the cave, activated his skill to check out all their panels.

…
Stark sighed, seeing that he would have to face this entire array of monsters.
Without hesitation, he readied himself for the fight, since even though the aura from his anger was slowly dissipating, so of it was still there, and he had lots of frustration he wanted to take out on those things.
It was pretty convenient so many monsters had co as they would beco his punching bags.
Looking around him, he noticed at least 18 monsters, 6 from each kind.
'Clone Frenzy,' he summoned his clone next to him, and it imdiately got into position.
He was surrounded and outnumbered, but it didn't really matter.
'Aura Smash!' both Stark sent four crimson fists toward a group of four 'Branch Monkeys' since they were the slowest monsters and also regrouped.
~BOOM, BOOM!~
"-31824! -34827! -21380! -23019!"
Turns out this was the right choice since two of them imdiately them from the impact, and the other ones inside the group also received a bit of damage since [Aura Smash] was an attack that hit its surroundings too.
[Enemies Stunned]
Both 'Branch Monkeys' had been stunned, and so Stark and his clone imdiately rushed to finish the job before the other monsters could attack.
Stark's anger was still there, deep inside of him, but his expression was neutral and cold: all he wanted was to enter that cave, traverse the final area, and et with Sierra again.
But this ti… he would make sure to annihilate her for good.
~PUNCH, PUNCH~
"-38371! -34827!" after two quick punches from each Stark, the two stunned 'Branch Monkeys' died.
Then they turned toward the remaining 14 monsters, who all began to rush at them.
'Let's get this over with,' they positioned themselves again.
