After everyone retreated to a certain extent, they watched the battle from there. Seeing the monsters that had abused them so badly becoming like lambs to the slaughter in the hands of Takeru and the others, they finally understood the gap in combat power.
Their hearts, which had become complacent and arrogant due to becoming stronger, settled down.
Although they were quite good compared to ordinary people, compared to Takeru and the others, they were still like children.
During the battle, the situation here had long been broadcast by television stations.
Compared to ordinary people, many journalists were a very brave bunch. No matter how great the danger, for ratings and bonuses, many would trade their lives for it...
Takeru naturally noticed the presence of these journalists. But they were very sensible.
Although they wanted attention, they also valued their lives. They only filmed from safe areas without actually entering the battlefield. Otherwise, they would make money but not have lives to spend it.
Not paying them much attention, Takeru turned his gaze back to the battlefield. Although Takeru's group had just arrived, the battle situation was already basically under control.
A large number of weak monsters couldn't withstand a single blow from anyone. As for the stronger ones, after a few exchanges, they were killed by others working together.
So the current battlefield was not so much a war as a slaughter. In this battle, no one showed mercy.
After all, the positions of the two sides were different. You see us as food, we see you as ingredients to become stronger.
On Hakuto's back, Miu, Renge, and Ebina were seeing such a brutal battlefield for the first time. Although it was bloody, the three didn't say much. They just frowned tightly as they watched everything from above.
Renge and Miu had both participated in the giant bat invasion, and Renge had even been captured. So they naturally knew the terror and cruelty of monsters.
Thus, although they felt somewhat uncomfortable now, they didn't find it hard to accept.
Above the three, Diablo stood in the void, monitoring the battlefield and protecting them.
Although if Takeru wanted, he could simply set up a defensive barrier that even ten times the monsters' power could never break, Takeru didn't do so.
Since he brought the three here, Takeru didn't intend for them to just watch. He also wanted to give them a test.
Diablo understood Takeru's meaning well. After some selection from above, two weaker bird-type monsters staggered towards the three.
"Ebina-nee, Miu-nee, over there!" Renge, who had been nervously scanning the surroundings, was the first to notice the arrival of the strange birds. Then, without thinking, she shouted loudly, instinctively blocking in front of the two.
"Be careful!" Seeing Renge's action, Miu reacted, directly hugging Renge and jumping away from the spot, causing the strange birds' attack to miss.
Ebina reacted a half-beat slower, but after seeing that neither was hurt, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she mustered her courage and prepared to attack the strange birds.
Although they didn't have much combat experience, Ebina and Miu's combat experience wasn't zero.
Moreover, Miu had easily killed giant bats before. Plus having watched so many battles earlier, she was now eager to try.
And Ebina, feeling she was the oldest of the three, had no reason to back down either.
"Renge, Miu, stay here. Leave those two monsters to me," Taking a deep breath, with nervousness and unease, Ebina stepped in front of the two.
"Ebina-nee, don't worry. I can fight too. There are two monsters, one for each of us," Hearing Ebina's words, Miu volunteered.
"But..." hearing Miu's offer, Ebina hesitated.
"There's no time. It's decided," Seeing the monsters shake their heads for a moment and then re-focus on herself and Renge, Miu said loudly.
"Ebina-nee, good luck! Miu-nee, good luck!" Hearing the two's conversation, Renge said seriously from behind, then retreated a bit, leaving the battlefield to Miu and Ebina.
"Chirp~," Soon, one strange bird let out a sharp cry and charged at Miu, preparing to use its sharp beak to poke holes in Miu and eat her.
Miu, facing the fierce strange bird, remained very calm. She directly used Nen to surround herself.
Of course, at this moment, Miu didn't use Ken, only Ten, because she didn't plan to clash head-on with the strange bird.
Soon, as the strange bird got closer to Miu, Miu used magic power to cover her legs and then directly jumped to the side, easily dodging the bird's charge.
Seeing Miu confronting the strange bird, Ebina couldn't continue to stop her.
Besides, compared to that, it was better to quickly deal with the other one so she could support Miu.
Thinking this, Ebina became remarkably calm, shedding her usual shyness and nervousness, replaced by cool-headedness.
Then she recalled Takeru's previous teachings, quickly gathering Chakra to enhance herself. Soon, she covered herself with Chakra.
Coupled with her already strong physique, honed through training and dietary supplements, her strength soared again.
"Clone Technique!" Quickly using Clone Technique, she charged at the strange bird from three directions.
The strange bird was a bit stunned seeing Ebina's figure suddenly multiply from one to three. But seeing Ebina dare to attack proactively, it became enraged and also charged at Ebina. It quickly selected the middle Ebina to attack.
But the moment it touched the middle Ebina, her figure turned into smoke. Caught off guard, the strange bird froze in place.
But while the strange bird was stunned, Ebina wasn't. By now, she was very close to the strange bird, and with her Chakra-covered arm, she punched out fiercely.
With a 'Bang', The strange bird was completely knocked onto Hakuto's back by the huge force.
Seeing her attack so effective, Ebina was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
Before it fully regained consciousness, she kicked its body again. The huge force sent the still-dazed strange bird flying off Hakuto's back.
The position the strange bird flew to happened to be where Yuta was fighting.
Seeing the rapidly approaching strange bird, without much thought, he dodged, quickly gathered two balls of flame, and attacked the strange bird, directly killing it.
While Ebina was fighting, Miu wasn't idle either, and even solved her opponent faster than Ebina.
First, the strange bird attacked Miu but was dodged. Seeing Miu disappear from in front of it, it was stunned, then quickly stopped, even spreading its wings to use wind force to forcibly stop its momentum.
But its post-charge lag was too obvious. Miu seized the opportunity.
While it was stopped, she jumped onto its body, and with her fist gathering Aura and magic power, she punched hard at the back of the strange bird's head.
With a 'Bang', the strange bird, as if hit by some terrifying heavy blow, was blasted off Hakuto's back like a cannonball, even hitting one of its companions along the way, both flying into the distance.
"Eh?"
Looking at the damage she had caused to the strange bird, not to mention the surprised Renge beside her, even Miu, the initiator, was bewildered.
Although she knew her strength had surpassed ordinary people, she didn't have a clear concept of how strong she was.
Moreover, most people around Miu were extremely powerful beings. Even in ordinary sparring, they could easily block Miu's attacks. So Miu had always thought she was just slightly above ordinary people.
But today, seeing herself punch a strange bird flying with one blow, Miu realized that her strength seemed to have exceeded her imagination.
