395  394: Need Help? (Eighth Bonus Chapter)

    The fight between Selene and the mountain goats began after all of the goats unleashed a combined earthquake ability that reached where Selene was and disrupted her movement.

    Because of their surprisingly powerful skill, Selene had to stop running and engage the mountain goats in combat.

    She observed and analyzed the herd of mountain goats, and she counted about a thousand mountain goats. A number which might seem small to some, but was anything but small.

    Bolts of lightning appeared on her hands, and with a low shout, she swung her hands at the herd.

    The ground shattered and broke apart as her lightning slashes made out of mystic mana approached the mountain goats at a speed that most of them could not respond to.

    The lightning slashes appeared in front of the goats at the forefront of the herd, and before a lightning slash touched the goats at the front of the herd, the remnant lightning bolts turned the weak goats at the front to ash.

    Mahhhhh!!!

    The goats bleated in shock and disbelief as they could only helplessly watch the enormous lightning engulf their bodies, completely turning them to ashes.

    The lightning slashes continued moving forward, killing the weaker mountain goats with ease. However, when it seemed like the lightning slashes were going to continue their unimpeded carnage, a loud bleat filled rage and maliciousness.

    MAHHHHHH!!!

    MAHHHHHH!!!

    MAHHHHHH!!!

    It was not just a single bleat but three bleats.

    Selene''s eyes widened slightly when she saw three mountain goats that were larger than the rest jump a few meters in front of the lightning slashes.

    BANGGGG!!!

    BOOOOOOOOM!!!!

    The instant the mountain goats landed, the ground trembled intensely, and to Selene''s surprise, three large and thick rocky walls emerged from the ground, effectively blocking the two lightning slashes.

    Crumble

    17:57

    The lightning slashes vanished after failing to destroy the rocky walls, and the rocky walls also crumbled apart after the disappearance of the rocky wall.

    Selene''s eyes widened in surprise when she sensed how easily the three mountain goats were able to control the earth element.

    ''Their control of the earth element is high.''

    Just as Selene had this thought, her instincts blared to life, and she instantly looked up, only to see over twenty mountain goats flying at her.

    "I thoughts goats couldn''t fly?!"

    Selene exclaimed with wide eyes, but she had no time to rest. The nearest goat was a few meters from piercing her body with its metallic horns.

    Luckily for her, the goat had the strength of a tier 2. Higher than the first goat she encountered, but not too high.

    Without hesitation, she swung the longsword in her left hand.

    "Fifth Dance of The Lightning Valkyrie."

    The instant the shards of rocks started moving, she unleashed the fifth dance of the lightning valkyrie which was a defensive move of The Lightning Valkyrie Art.

    Her legs and body moved in a manner that was simply beautiful and majestic at the same time. Despite the countless number of rocky shards that were launched at her, she deflected or dodged most of the shards, and the injuries she sustained were mainly superficial and surface skin injuries.

    The moment all the shards were dealt with, she landed on the ground. However, the instant her feet touched the ground, her instincts screamed at her.

    Her head snapped to her back and she tried to dodge, however, it was too late.

    Puchi!

    A pair of twisted dark metallic horns pierced her torso, and she coughed out a mouthful of blood. She looked at the goat that had injured her, and she realized that it was one of the three powerful goats of the herd.

    She could not comprehend how it had launched a sneak attack without her being able to sense it, however, that was not her major concern at the moment.

    "Shit." She cursed, and then she raised her left hand.

    Her longsword appeared in her hand, and she stabbed the goat before it could escape. With killing intent in her eyes, her longsword moved at an extremely fast speed, and to her relief, the goat was not able to dodge the attack.

    The longsword reached the torso of the goat, however, and to Selene''s immense disbelief...

    CLANG!

    CRACK!

    SHATTER!

    Her longsword shattered, leaving nothing but a faint scratch on the rocky skin of the goat.

    MAHHHH!!!

    The goat bleated loudly with anger evident in its tone, and to Selene''s horror, the goat raised its head and attempted to swing her around like a ragdoll.

    Selene knew that if she ever allowed that to occur, her condition would worsen, and her chances of survival would diminish greatly.

    The goat raised her up into the air and she grabbed its horns in an attempt to disrupt its movement despite the pain she felt.

    Mahhh!!

    The goat bleated in annoyance, but just as it was about to swing its head, a light flashed in the eyes of the goat and Selene, and to Selene''s confusion, shock, and disbelief, she saw the goat getting split into two.

    "Need help?"

    She turned her head, and then she saw the one person she both hated and had complicated feelings toward.

    Her master, Corey with a large double-handed battle axe in his right hand.

    Unedited chapter.

    I wanted to at least write the following chapter and upload it  four chapters at once so that the fight against the "mountain goats" would end, but they just had to take the light, and my laptop would soon die.

    Sigh

    I''ll try to write five chapters tomorrow... if they bring the light that is
