Valerie raised her right hand as if signaling the people to move.

Suddenly, the people from the Griffith Family came out of the formation.

"!!!" The two King Class Monsters widened their eyes, noticing the incoming enemies. Although they wanted to ignore them, they couldn't do it because the people who were advancing toward them were elites.

Their numbers might only be a hundred, but there were at least ten Mythical Rank Experts in the mix.

These ten alone should be enough to cause chaos among the monsters.

Still, the monsters were a few thousand. Among them were many Mythical Rank Experts.

If the Griffith Family wanted to reach them, they had to take them down first. Meanwhile, Ray shouldn't have that much time.

The two King Class Monsters believed Ray would be killed before they managed to help him. No matter what, they were two King Class Monsters while Ray was one. Unless he was as monstrous as Theo, he wouldn't be able to win.

".." Ray glanced back as if confirming the plan. There were a few plans Valerie had prepared. And this was one of them.

Ray knew that she was aiming for a certain pattern, so he would need to cooperate.

As soon as the King Class Monsters took their eyes away for a second, Ray jumped back as if he was trying to run away.

"!!!" The two King Class Monsters didn't expect Ray to be running away, especially after the strong front he had this whole time. They thought Ray would be fighting to the death instead of getting humiliated like this, but they were wrong.

They almost forgot that they were fighting against humans. For their survival, they could do whatever.

Hence, they exchanged nods before leaping forward, chasing after him. After looking at the human army, they noticed how the enemies didn't have another King Class Expert, so they didn't need to be afraid of Ray.

As long as they were together, they would win.

The two King Class Monsters used their fastest speed to catch up to him, preventing Ray from regrouping with his people. In the meantime, his subordinates were being stopped by the Mythical Rank Experts.

Ray gathered his Magic Power in his fist and punched forward.

The Magic Power expanded and burst, causing a ripple in the air. The force was so strong that it began spinning, ultimately creating a tornado made of Magic Power.

The harpy waved its wings to create a similar tornado to stop him.

Unfortunately for them, this was what Ray had been waiting for. Instead of running away, Ray let his tornado hit his own, causing the two to burst and disperse each other.

But there was one detail the harpy forgot because Ray's tornado was too powerful.

The harpy's Order was Air, not wind. To neutralize Ray's power, it had to go all out, meaning there would be more air infused into it.

And Ray took this opportunity to breathe some fresh air, making sure his body got all the amount it needed to function.

"Ha.." Ray smiled as his complexion was restored a bit.

The harpy, who had just noticed her blunder, widened her eyes in shock, realizing everything was within Ray and Valerie's plan.

Those experts from the Griffith Family came forward just to be a distraction.

During that time, Ray would get into a position where he could defeat them.

And because of his speed and their need to stop Ray, the two ended up positioning themselves between Ray and the army.

"Activate!" Ray shouted while using his Magic Power to spread the news.

"!!!" The monsters were confused as they looked around to see what kind of surprise the human had for them. But to their surprise, nothing happened. There were only people escaping left and right as if they had completed their jobs and let their leader take care of the rest.

But the moment they thought about it, their instinct was telling them about the danger they were about to face.

Both of them looked down. Because it wasn't made of Magic Power, there was no fluctuation.

And the detonator was in Valerie's hand.

The moment their people had cleared the blast zone, she pressed the detonator.

The monsters looked down, realizing what the humans were up to. Unfortunately, it was too late.

*Boom!*

A series of explosions occurred, engulfing them. The explosions didn't come with fire. The blast and pure shock wave alone were enough to injure the two King Class Monsters.

"Aaaahhh!" The harpy got struck by a few stones. Her body was normally strong enough to handle this, but there was something hidden underground. The moment it hit her body, it either scratched the skin or pierced through it.

"This is.." The harpy saw some shrapnel planted on her body.

Ray smiled. This was the shrapnel made by the Star Group. It came from a very powerful weapon, so each of them had the ability to penetrate their skin.

"Kh.." The harpy gritted her teeth, realizing that each of them was equal to an A Rank Weapon. The injuries might be shallow, but the blood loss would weaken her after some time. She also didn't know whether there was poison or not.

Meanwhile, the slime completely received the shrapnel as if it was nothing. It might pierce through his body, but because his body was kind of intangible, it didn't do anything to him. All the shrapnel that was supposed to hit the core ended up stopping due to the viscosity.

".." Ray narrowed his eyes. The situation might be worse than they thought, but it was still within their expectations.

At the very least, the harpy was injured.

Ray took a deep breath while looking around.

As if she had gotten tired of Ray's trick, the harpy let out a cry.

This cry alarmed the entire army from the second wave as they turned around as if they had changed their target to Ray.

".." Ray was sweating while looking at these monsters. After all, this meant the enemies planned to outnumber him by four thousand to one.
