Thud!

  I landed on the ground after killing the Seven Star Golden Elite and looked toward the two Six Star Elite Grimm Monsters toward whom I had thrown knives second before.

  When I looked toward them, I saw their bodies falling on the ground with terror on their face. Seeing that I couldn’t help but take a sigh of relief, to kill these Grimm Monsters, I’ve used everything Ive.

  I’ve used the last bit of my method energies on them, if one of them had been alive, then I would have had to ask Ashlyn for help.

  After taking a couple of deep breaths, I changed the refinement of energy in the refinement engine.

  Till now, I had been refining Black Cosmic Energy, which I could not use before I gathered one petal full of it, but FeatherLight energy did not have such restriction, which is why I am giving priority to it.

  The battle in front of me is ending, but I still remain vigilant as there are still forty-something Equal Rhinomen are fighting, and all of them are crazy strong, all of them are Seven Star Golden Elite, and above, so I have to be ready if anyone dares to attack me.

  I refined as I watched the battle; I did not dare even to collect the body which is close to me. The battle had entered its most heated phase, where both sides were fighting, giving their all.

  Just a casual glance could let one see how dangerous battle had become, as some people from both sides had started over drafting the energies. This move would have been very good if Aqua Rhinomen had done it before, but now there is not much use.

  The enemies they are facing are not the normal Golden Elites but the members of the Death Brigade, they have experienced many battles as such before and which is why a minute after both sides started to overdraft the energies, the bodies of Aqua Rhinomen had begun to fall again at Rapid pace.

  Two minutes later, the last Aqua Rhinoman who tried to run was killed by the Team leader’s arrow.

  "Good Job everyone," Teamleader said she landed on the ground and walked toward the split body of the human, from thirty-eight we have become thirty-seven, in this battle we have lost one of our teammates.

  His loss was great, not only became the member of an already small team but he was also an Eight Star Golden Elite, he died in one of the initial stages of the battle, a few seconds before Ashlyn had taken the air.

  The team leader did not say anything as she took out the coffin and placed the spit body of our teammates in it before storing the coffin back into her storage.

  "You have ten minutes to clean the battlefield. The Grimm Monster from other Aqua Rhinoman will come soon." said the leader.

  ld

  We have destroyed the Teleportation gate; the other side should have been aware of that and would send reinforcements soon.

  It is a perfect thing to use humans that there is great tribalism between the tribes of the Grimm Monster. They hate each other and would not help each other unless it is ordered from above.

  According to our information, the closest Aqua Rhinoman Camp is at two hours’ distance from this one. If they hurry, they should be able to cover the distance within one and a half hours, but since the battle started and ended, there had been only about forty-five minutes.

  We have enough time to collect the bodies and loot and disappear without a trace.

  I have so many bodies to collect, not only that of the Monsters I’ve killed but also killed by Ashlyn.

  While others only took fifteen minutes, I took thirteen minutes. I have to use my maximum speed without the method of energy to collect these many bodies.

  "Good job, rookie, and especially your little birdie; without you, we would not have been able to finish the battle so early." The team leader said as she lovingly petted Ashlyn.

  Thankfully Ashlyn took the pats with grace; otherwise, if she had behaved as her usual, she would have got me into trouble with the team leader.

  "Times over, let’s go." The team leader shouted, and we started to leave the camp after taking everything. We have taken everything from the Grimm Monsters.

  We have not only taken their bodies but also the artifacts and abodes and, most importantly, the wreckage of Teleportation Gate.

  The wreckage of the teleportation gate is the most expensive thing on the whole came, very very rare things required to make the Teleportation Gate, and even if we bring bits and pieces of them, they are still very expensive.

  We have again separated into the teams and went back the same way we have come. On the way back, we have collected the sound Isolation and Camouflaging devices we have places around the camp.

  Even each Grimm Monsters camp is a fair distance away, the commotion we have made would have surely created a big commotion, and many Grimm Monsters would have been lying in wait if not for these devices.

  We picked them up before we continued on our journey, and unlike before, when we came here swiftly, on returning, we were quite slow. Our group leader isn’t even killing Grimm Monster unless it is absolutely necessary.

  Though the battle earlier was very short, it is utterly exhausting to everybody, some people like josh even had overdrafted their energy and are very tired, in this state having another big battle will be very disastrous for us which is why we have been cautious.

  Even burly Tom used to say a few words to me now and then is very quiet. Vigilant that he would get started hearing even slightest noise. Time passed by, and after four whole hours, we had reached our abode, only then everyone’s tense faces had loosened a little.

  "You all rest, we will be having a meeting at 9 in the morning." the team leader said when we all reached abode. Everyone nodded silently before we all started to walk toward their rooms.

  If it had been a normal battle, people would have been talking out about it despite being utterly tired, but what we have faced is not a normal battle.

  We, thirty-eight people, have fought against the more than thousand Golden Elites, which had strained us both physically and mentally that nobody wanted to talk, not to mention we have even lost a teammate.

  People will be feeling grief about him; even I did not have much contact with him, feeling very sad about him. Having such feelings jumbled in one’s mind, nobody had any mood to talk.

  I went to my room and took out some food for Ashlyn before I went to the bathroom when I returned, feeling a little fresh. I found all the foxes disappeared, and Ashlyn sleeping on her stomach.

  I couldn’t help but sigh seeing this; we are not the only who have exerted themselves in battle, Ashlyn too exerted himself too much in battle, which is why she fell asleep so quickly.
