Chapter 36 [Bonus] The Zora
Bonus chap for the 150 PS. Once again thank you ^^

"Even though Zoras are strong and very resistant, they are very slow," Sylvia added. "So they make the perfect monster for beginners. Not to add that in real life, they make the perfect set of armor for beginners too, so if one day we're allowed to go and kill them for real, we will be able to craft something good."
Hearing that, Kye smiled a little. He didn't know if it was only speculation, but it was fairly possible that sooner or later, they will need to go and hunt monsters on other planets. He strongly doubted that they will only stay in the military without getting real fight experience. The weapon class was good, but no one aimed for their lives. So it was difficult to get experience with classes. On the contrary, if they go on an expedition to a planet where they will fight monsters, they would be able to get a lot of valuable experience.
"Then if it's easy, can't we fight multiple Zoras at the same time?"
"I would advise against this idea," Sylvia said. "Even though they are easy to deal with, we shouldn't underestimate them. One good hit and we can lose our life. Sure not here, but it would be better to play as if we're in real life."
"I guess you're right. Sorry for wasting our time."
"Don't say that. I'm glad to help. And it's normal to ask such a thing, especially when it's your first time. So please don't be sorry," Kye nodded a bit shyly.
'I wonder what he looks like. From his behavior, he looks like he is the cute type," Sylvia thought. 'Hmh well, he will show me if he wants to, so there's no need for me to bother him with that,'
"Then, should we go?" Sylvia asked as Kye nodded again, but this time, with a lot of determination.
Sylvia then clicked on a few more options before the white space around them changed completely. It became a big forest with trees that went as high as the eyes could see.
"Be prepared because the monster appears five seconds after we come into a new area," Kye nodded.
As she said, five seconds later, a black dog-like monster materialized a dozen of meters from them. The Zora was big, large, and very muscular. Its four legs were so big that they were even higher than Kye's height.
Kye gulped for a second, but the Zora didn't let him think of anything because it immediately sent numerous bullets of water from its giant mouth. Unlike its low speed, those bullets went at high speed.
Thankfully, Sylvia was faster to react to the monster since she already had some experience in that field. Especially against Zoras. Their water bullet couldn't do anything against her because she control the water herself thanks to her ability. So when the bullets came in a five meters radius, Sylvia waved her hand and all the water bullets went out of their trajectory.
Sylvia couldn't make the bullet disappear since she wasn't strong enough for that. However, it wasn't hard to alter their trajectory. And that's exactly what she did.
"Fallen Angel you can go to the frontline. I will cover you from behind, don't worry."
Technically, Sylvia could defeat the Zora on her own. She knew this monster a lot since she fight it a lot before the military begin. Though, she always had a lot of difficulties killing it because her water wasn't sharp enough to pierce the Zora's skin. And it was hard to aim for its weaknesses such as its eyes because its instinct always told the monster to shut them.
That's why she believed in Kye. His ability seemed very strong and seems to do a lot of damage. Of course, she also wanted to see him get some experience on his own. She wouldn't be there every time for him, after all, so she needed to get him some fighting experience.
"Okay, let me handle him then," Kye said as he ran toward the Zora. The latter kept firing water bullets, but Sylvia kept changing their trajectory.
After firing one last bullet, the Zora got fed up and began to run toward them at its full speed. And as they could see, the Zora was very slow. Its body was big, thus slowing his movement down.
And Kye took that into account when he fired a Holy ray. The Zora was slow, and he didn't think that he would be able to pierce its skin with neither his sword nor his angel's ability. So to do as much damage as possible, Kye fired his Holy ray while predicting the monster's movement.
The Zora, even though had a sharp instinct didn't see the ray coming toward its eyes, and since he was sturdy, he didn't care if the ray would hit its body. And this assumption cost the monster's right eye.
*rghhhhh!*
The Zora roared in pain, but Kye didn't finish yet. Since his opponent had now only one eye left, Kye went into the monster's blind spot, that is to say, its right side.
The Zora didn't see the humans going into its blind spot because of the pain and the fear of losing its left eye too, so it close its other eye.
Once Kye was on the right side, he kept running until he managed to get behind the monster.
'What is he planning?' Sylvia thought as he observed him. 'There's no weakness in a monster's re… Don't tell me!'
As she understood what Kye was planning, she sucked a cold breath because of his monstrosity. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋noѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺
Kye went behind the monster. And even though one will think that there's no weakness behind a body, well, they couldn't be more wrong than that.
The best weakness to exploit because no one ever thought of covering it was the ass hole. There wasn't any protection there, and because of that, Kye thrust his sword into Zora's rear.
*Arghhhh*
This time, the monster roared in pain too. But this roar was far more spine-chilling than the previous one.
The Zora, because of its anger turned around, only to find nothing.
Kye went one more time into its blind spot, or more precisely, under its giant body.
And the moment the Zora saw him, he waved his leg to smash him to death.
Sylvia was ready to make a water wall, but Kye just jumped even before the Zora went into motion and pierced its left eye. Blood flowed everywhere with the monster's cry, but Kye couldn't care less about it. He just thrust his sword more and more into its eyes until the blade pierced the brain.
[You killed a Zora in this realm, + 80 EXP]
