Chapter 5 - Facing Three SunFiends!

Teacher Raine's voice echoed throughout the battlefield and then—

 

"CLANG!"

 

The massive gates built into the walls underneath the stadium seating suddenly began opening with grinding mechanical sounds.

 

But not just one gate, three!

 

"ROOOOOAR!" "Hissssssss!" "Croak! Croak!"

 

Three different sounds echoed from the abyss of the gates and the entire students body of thousands of teenagers, inhaled simultaneously and held their breathe as they watched the Radiants come out from the gates.

 

The first beast to come out was a two-meter-tall monstrosity.

 

It dragged itself out from the gate and into the glow of the sun that was fading into obscurity. Even though the sun was setting, there was still enough solar radiation present for the creature to begin absorbing energy and starting its regeneration processes.

 

 

The sunfiend possesses eight limbs that have been severed, leaving only stumps that it uses to drag its body across the ground. It's body was jetblack with charcoal like fur.

 

If someone were forced to relate this creature to an animal from the old world before the Radiants appeared, they might say this Sunfiend was vaguely similar to a dog but with eight legs. However, this dog looked incredibly horrifying.

 

There were two pair of eyes arranged randomly on its head, one pair in its four head and one ornate both sides of its chin.

 

Two massive rows of teeth in its neck and below its nose.

 

Not to mention, there were hundreds of dog ears in its body like a tumor, including its legs! Each ear twitched and rotated independently, tracking sounds from all directions simultaneously.

 

This particular species was called the Goldblood Thousand-Ear Hound in the official classification system.

 

"Roooooar!"

 

Unlike the woof of a dog, this sunfiend roar was even louder than that of a lion!

 

Vogue felt every single hair on his body stand completely on end as he stared at the horrifying creature limping and crawling across the ground toward him with its severed legs, leaving trails of disgustingly liquid behind it.

 

As though that wasn't scary enough, a second creature crawled out of the second gate. It was even more disgusting.

 

It was a serpent, or it looked like one.

 

It slithered slowly through the floor. Right now, its scales had been peeled, revealing mucus and tissue, making the pain even more as it dragged itself across the bladed grass.

 

The beast didn't have just one mouth. Instead, dozens of mouths lined up along its entire body. Tongue tasting the air in hunger as it sighted the thousands of food staring at it.

 

Even still were the tails behind it.

 

It had six tails poisonous scorpion tail that struck randomly at the air. But they had been severed by the government, making them crippled.

 

It was a Six-Tailed Purple Serpent!

 

The creature lifted its head.

 

All the mouths spoke at once.

 

"HISSSSSSS—"

 

Seeing another creature come out, the spectators, both student and teacher had various changes of expressions.

 

Even though crippled, it would be difficult for an ordinary student to face one Radiant, not to mention two radiants.

 

The teachers watched the development with interest. They had thought this exercise would be boring, given the fact that the Radiants are almost completely crippled. But the prospect of watching a single student face two Radiants at once had changed their minds and made things more entertaining.

 

The students began discussing among themselves.

 

"Did this guy offend someone he shouldn't that makes them want to kill him this bad?"

 

"Maybe all the Year 3 would also face two Radiants, who knows?"

 

As they were discussing among themselves, there was a third 'Clang' sound. Instantly, the jaws of absolutely everyone in the entire stadium dropped open in shock and disbelief as a third Sunfiend walked out.

 

A Centi-eyed Halo Frog.

 

The frog was the size of a carriage, its bloated body was slimy as it rolled over and stopped.

 

Instantly, thousands of eyes, large, small, human and cat like blinked out of sync as they rolled around and locked in on the thousands of spectating students nearby.

 

The students who licked eyes with the beast felt a chill run down their spine as their face turned pale. They immediately shrank their necks and looked elsewhere without hesitation.

 

Without warning, one of its eyes bulged and then exploded.

 

"Squelch!"

 

A jet of green liquid sprayed outward, sizzling as it hit the barrier walls, releasing a choking, acidic stench through the surroundings!

 

This sunfiend was even more disgusting to say the least!

 

 

Vogue inhaled deeply as he watched the three monsters crawl towards him, clenching the twin double edged axe. 

 

He relaxed visibly. The speed of the beasts were slower than he had expected but that should be due to the fact that most of their limbs had been severed and the also the lack of sun to enable ther regeneration. 

 

Even then, Vogue was still vigilant.

 

His feet moved as he began walking towards the Goldblood Thousand-Ear Hound.

 

It looked to be the slowest of the three sunfiend beasts. Therefore Vogue felt he should be able to easily kill it.

 

The moment the sun-fiend noted Vogue 's movement, their eyes turn frenzy and an intense feeling of hunger course through their veins!

 

"Rooooar!"

 

 

The Goldblood Thousand-Ear Hound roared in hunger and it ignited its pain as it crawled harder and fast towards Vogue . 

 

The Centipede-Eyed Halo Frog croaked like a thousand frogs croaking at once as it dragged its massive belly along the field.

 

Strangely, the Six-Tailed Purple Serpent remained in the same spot as it stared at Vogue with poisonous spit dripping down its mouth.

 

Their crawling speed was the same as the jogging speed of a grown man. So it wasn't enough to overwhelm Vogue .

 

Just as Vogue and the Goldblood Thousand-Ear Hound were 20 meters apart, the Goldblood Thousand-Ear Hound's mouth salivated at the fresh premium delicacy walking towards him.

 

If it could consume him, it would be able to regrow its limbs and even evolve.

 

Just as the distance between them had reached 10 meters, Vogue suddenly moved.

 

"Thump!"

 

The ground beneath his feet gave a muffled sound as his figure moved with insane speed, taking the Goldblood Thousand-Ear Hound by surprise as he raised his Axe and slashed downwards at the beast's head!
