Chapter 55: The “Student” Who Terrified the Walton Brothers

The "Student" Who Terrified the Walton Brothers

Two men.

Two women.

It was the Walton brothers.

"The labyrinth should be just ahead. I wonder if that senior has left yet."

They looked ahead.

And were surprised to see a young man in a school uniform bending over.

Picking something up off the ground.

Liam Walton saw the school uniform and immediately dismissed the thought.

*This kid is way too young,* Liam thought.

*Definitely not the senior.*

*Pass.*

*He’s probably just a student who wandered in.*

*Lost or something.*

*Nothing to worry about.*

Liam breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

If that powerhouse was actually still here, he wouldn’t know how to handle the situation.

What if the senior was a bloodthirsty killer?

The four of them wouldn’t stand a chance.

Thinking back to the pile of bodies they’d passed on the road, Liam was certain the senior wasn’t a good person.

*Not running into him—that was a blessing.*

"It looks like the senior has already left."

Liam strode forward confidently.

Looking at the scattered beast corpses and the loot on the ground, he couldn’t help but marvel:

"A generous one, indeed. To leave so many Demonic Beast Cores behind..."

"That senior must be incredibly wealthy."

Then Liam noticed Leon picking things up and felt a twinge of contempt.

*He’s just a scavenger,* Liam thought.

*Picking up leftovers.*

*Pathetic.*

*He should be fighting the boss.*

*Not looting like a vulture.*

"Wait—bro... h-he’s..." Mike had been frozen ever since he spotted Leon.

*He had seen this guy before.*

*Near Killer Valley.*

*This very person had walked straight into the Killer Bee nest.*

*Could it be...*

*The "senior" they’d been talking about was him?!*

*No.*

*No, it can’t be.*

*He’s just a student.*

*A regular student.*

*Right?*

But Liam had already walked ahead.

It seemed he hadn’t heard a word Mike said.

Cold sweat poured down Mike’s back.

*We’re doomed.*

*Are my brother and I going to die here?*

*I need to stop him.*

*I need to warn him.*

*But he won’t listen.*

*He never listens.*

Mike’s eyelids twitched.

*Brother. That guy might be a living death god.*

*Remember those bodies on the road.*

*How there were no signs of a fight?*

*They were all one-shotted!*

*This is not someone to mess with.*

*This is not someone to disrespect.*

"Heh. Look at this—still picking up loot at a time like this. That boss over there is no joke, you know. You should be paying more attention."

Liam called out to Leon, who was busy on the ground.

"A beast-soul master’s duty is to support his beast-girl, press forward, and finish every battle!"

Leon frowned.

*Who the hell are you?*

*Are you seriously trying to teach me how to do my job?*

*I don’t need advice from a stranger.*

*Especially not from someone who has no idea what he’s talking about.*

*Just ignore him.*

*He’s not worth the effort.*

Not far away, Selena floated in the air.

Her long hair cascading down to her waist.

She looked like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal realm.

Her white silver hair shimmered.

Her golden eyes blazed with divine light.

Her fitted robe hugged her curves.

The gold sash emphasized her narrow waist.

Her G cup tits rose and fell with each breath.

Her peach-shaped ass was tense with power.

Her thick thighs were wrapped in golden energy.

She was magnificent.

She was terrifying.

Liam’s gaze followed her.

*She’s beautiful,* Liam thought.

*Absolutely stunning.*

*What is such a powerful beast-girl doing with a student?*

*He doesn’t deserve her.*

*He should be fighting.*

*Not looting.*

*What a waste.*

**[Sacred Beast Skill · White Tiger Judgment]**

*Activate!*

In an instant, several devastating slashes descended.

The treant was cleaved into multiple pieces!

Selena’s blade cut through the boss like it was butter.

The treant’s body split apart.

Its massive form crumbled.

But then something unexpected happened.

"Crap! Don’t you people know anything?!"

"You can’t use slashing attacks on the Black Mountain Treant! The first time it’s cut, it splits!"

"One cut, one split!"

"Oh my god—you guys didn’t even read the strategy guide before coming here?!"

*Brother... keep your voice down.*

*Why are you being so loud?!*

*Damn!*

*What a family disaster!*

*He’s going to get us killed.*

*And he doesn’t even realize it.*

*I need to get us out of here.*

*Now.*

Mike remembered the state of those corpses and his legs started shaking.

On the field, the Black Mountain Treant, now sliced into multiple pieces, let out a loud, mocking laugh.

Then—each piece began to swell rapidly!

In just a few seconds, each segment had grown to dozens of times its original size!

In an instant, the field was filled with over a dozen Black Mountain Treants.

Liam’s scalp tingled.

*These were Level 30 boss monsters!*

*A dozen of them at once—even his beast-girl wouldn’t be able to handle that!*

*This student really had no idea what he was doing!*

*The crisis was right in front of him, and he was completely oblivious.*

*Just picking up the cores that senior had left behind.*

*What is wrong with him?*

*Does he have a death wish?*

*In a critical moment like this, it was all up to him.*

Liam took a deep, resigned breath.

"Brother!" Mike finally overcame his trembling legs and rushed over. "Brother, he’s the—"

*SLAP.*

Liam gave Mike a heavy pat on the shoulder, cutting him off.

*I don’t have time for this,* Liam thought.

*I need to act.*

*I need to save us.*

*No matter what.*

"Brother, didn’t you want to see your sister-in-law’s beast-soul skill, ’Radiant Sun Pierces the Sky’? I’ll have her show you right now. Watch closely."

With that, he commanded the beast-girl behind him to charge forward.

*No—brother.*

*Who told you to go in?*

*The senior hasn’t even given the word!*

*Brother, if you keep this up, I’m going to run away on my own!*

*I won’t die here.*

*Not because of your pride.*

*Not because of your arrogance.*

Mike felt like crying.
