Chapter 77: Turning Into a Killing Maniac to Complete the Mission

Ronanʼs face fell when he saw another wave of Scaled Hyenas appear.

There are indeed more of them and they look stronger than the first wave we fought!

The ordinary warriors are already exhausted. Can we even handle all of these monsters?

Ronan glanced at his subordinates and frowned.

Most of the town guards were composed of ordinary warriors. They might be skilled, but their stamina will run out soon.

Just when he was starting to get anxious, he saw the young Knight he had spoken earlier charging towards the incoming hyenas.

That guy…why is he so reckless?

Ronan wanted to go and help him, but he was tied up by multiple hyenas.

I have no time to waste on you guys!

He furiously swung his two-handed war hammer and smashed the Scaled Hyenas in front of him.

The hyenas that were struck by his war hammer were crushed into meat paste, unable to even utter a shriek.

Blood and some pieces of internal organs splashed over his armor.

Ronan didnʼt even bother to wipe off the blood that splashed on his face.

Meanwhile, Alaric had already clashed with the new wave of Scaled Hyenas. He especially targeted those who would be a huge threat to the warriors.

Kshhhkk!

He effortlessly sliced the neck of the first hyena that lunged at him which cleanly decapitated its head.

Five more hyenas pounced at him, baring their fangs and swiping their sharp claws.

Seeing this, Alaric suddenly wielded his sword with an unbelievable speed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, the five Scaled Hyenas were cut into pieces!

His sword was so fast that even an Elite Knight like Henry barely saw the trajectory of his strikes.

Not even Lord Lucas was this skilled at his age…

Alaric was evolving with terrifying momentum and filled him with immense pride.

Under the shocked gazes of the warriors, Alaric continued his carnage. No hyena managed to survive after being slashed by his sword. Even those hyenas who possessed mana were mercilessly slaughtered!

At that moment, an ear-piercing cry resonated in his ears.

Hm?

Alaric stared at the largest hyenas in the pack. It was almost twice the size of the normal hyenas. The beast was also more muscular and the scales on its body looked more formidable.

That guy must be the leader of this pack.

The pressure emitted by the beast was similar to that of an experienced Knightʼs aura.

The alpha Scaled Hyena turned into a blur as it rushed towards Alaric with ghostly movements.

Its beastly eyes flashed with cruelty as it swiped its dagger-like claws at him.

Alaric dodged its claws by tilting his body. He then thrust his sword, aiming to stab its neck.

However, the creature abruptly turned its body, evading his sword by a narrow margin.

Not bad. Itʼs quite fast…

Alaric didnʼt give it a chance to retreat and released a flurry of attacks.

The beast might be fast, but Alaricʼs swords were even faster.

Cuts appeared on its body as Alaricʼs strikes connected.

In just a few breaths, the creatureʼs body was already covered in wounds. The ferocity in its eyes vanished and was replaced with unprecedented fear.

It backed off and slowly retreated while keeping its eyes on Alaric.

Eiik!! Eiik!!

It issued weird shrieking sounds to communicate with its pack.

You want to escape? As if Iʼd let you!

Alaric snorted when he saw it retreating slowly.

His mission would fail if the hyenas would escape so to prevent this from happening, he no longer held back.

He utilized his mana and strength in his arms and legs to increase his speed even further.

Under the stunned gazes of the warriors, Alaric suddenly turned into a killing maniac.

The pitiful whimpers of the hyenas echoed soon after he began his onslaught.

It was a bloody scene that made the warriors flabbergasted. They even wondered if he had some beef with Scaled Hyenas before because of how brutally he killed them.

The battle that was expected to last for some time ended in just a few minutes.

Soon, the remaining Scaled Hyena fell under Alaricʼs sword.

Everyone watched the figure whose leather armor was covered in blood.

Alaric smiled upon seeing the notifications on the cyan screen.

Iʼm only 60 points short on my EXP requirement.

Step. Step. Step.

Alaric closed the cyan screen when he heard someone approaching.

He turned his head and saw Ronan walking towards him with a cautious expression.

He stopped in front of Alaric and respectfully cupped his fists.”S-Sir… Thank you for lending us a hand in stopping these monsters. Our town owes you a huge favor.”

Alaric waved his hand.

”Itʼs just a small matter. Besides, we are all citizens of Astania so itʼs only right for us to help each other.” He uttered indifferently.

Ronan couldnʼt help but admire him. As a patriot, his words resonated deeply in his heart.

He thanked Alaric repeatedly and showered him with praises.

”To thank you for giving us a hand, all the profit we get from carcasses here will be given to you, sir.” Ronan was determined to repay him.

However…

Alaric shook his head. ”You donʼt need to do that. Just send these carcasses to the residents of the town. This will also help you prevent them from resorting to robbery.”

Hearing this, Ronan raised his eyebrows in surprise. ”You are truly a good example to follow, sir.”

”May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?”

”My name?” Alaric hesitated, but upon seeing the expression on Ronanʼs face, he decided to give him his name.

”Itʼs Alaric…”
