“Shit!” Miles spit to the ground with saliva and blood mixed. The explosion was too strong and it burned his forearm. His innards were also shaken, causing some internal bleeding.

“Are you okay, Bro Miles?” Zall shouted in worry but didn’t look. He was still eying Ivo lying on the ground.

“I am fine. But I need medical assistance pronto.” He said.

“Are you sure?” Xavic asked as he walked over.

“Pain is better than death.” Miles gritted his teeth and waited for the painful treatment.

“If you say so.” Xavic charged a bolt of lightning and threw it towards Miles. When it landed, it caused unexplainable pain. Luckily Miles was used to pain, and he swallowed it. He felt the pain and dizziness sourced from his inner organs ceased and his forearm started to heal.

“End the chanter and let's assist them,” Miles spoke while rising to his feet. Xavic approached the man with his sword and stabbed him from his throat. Miles was used to Xavic’s new decisiveness so he shrugged it off.

Xavic took both weapons from Ivo’s hands and wielded them as he walked over. His old weapon was weak, reducing his battle prowess, now that he found two weapons, he was even more confident.

As they walked over, the trio was battling the Moth-woman with great teamwork. Their advances and retreats were so cordial, Moth-woman couldn’t find an opening.

The attacks started with either Maria or Dorian. Although Carlo’s power was also strong, it was better when it supplemented fire elemental powers.

Dorian would send fire arrows, and Maria was firing her pistols while an area around her amplifying fire element was constantly there. Carlo was just firing wind swords to increase the battle strength of the duo's attacks.

“Hateful bastards!” Moth-woman shouted as purple gas filled the area, to be dispelled in the next second by Carlo. “I will tear all of you apart!”

Miles, Zall, and Xavic reached the area and stood on the other side of the monster. It was their first time battling with Maria and her team, so they couldn’t act cordially. With no other choice, they could only disturb the monster from the other side.

Miles charged the lightning sword in his hand and the twirling attack flew towards the Moth-woman. The monster looked over her shoulder but ignored the attack.

“Now,” Miles shouted and Xavic raised his arms to send two bolts of lightning.

Moth-woman was watching the battle they had against Ivo. She also saw Xavic’s abilities many times when they were killing monsters. When Miles shouted, she knew that they had some sort of plan, so she dodged the seemingly weak attack because Xavic’s lightning bolts were hidden behind Miles’s sword slash.

She had to break her rhythm, but she successfully dodged the bolts. Of course, what she didn’t know was, the lightning also had a healing effect, and Miles didn’t want them to land in the first place. When Miles and the duo were walking, he instructed Xavic to send them slower. As a high-tier hunter, Xavic could already change the power of his bolts, he only lacked the merging of two stages, then he would be in pinnacle-tier.

Moth-woman easily dodged the slow bolts coming her way. But because of this destruction, she got hit by bullets fired by Maria. When it exploded on her body parts protected by purple hair, it caused some burns. She gritted her teeth and was ready to attack, two more bolts came her way. This time they were much bigger but luckily they were still slow.

She dodged them while cursing under her breath. But just as he dodged, she saw the big guy dashing towards her with the shield in his hand. He knew this guy couldn’t hurt anyone from the previous encounters, and from the painful expression on his face. Instead, she could use him as a shield, since he wouldn’t damage her.

On the other hand, the little devil with a sword was both fast and dangerous. When she saw Miles approaching beside Zall, she was ready to intercept, but to her surprise, the expected attack didn’t land on her but his friend.

Miles double-kicked Zall and sent him flying albeit a little. A bolt of lightning appeared behind the giant man and it was in front of the Moth-woman. It was the same tactic they used against Thunder Camels, instead this time it was Xavic who attacked.

Moth-woman had no time to dodge. She hastily raised her two arms to block the attack, but in the next second, Miles appeared in front of him and let the bolt land on his body.

“GAHH!” He shouted in pain while his body convulsed, but there was a hateful snicker on his face. Moth-woman realized something was amiss, but it was too late already.

A giant fire arrow landed on her back, as she flew towards stunned Miles. Her back lacerated and melted with the sheer power of the arrow, but her gaze was still locked on Miles. “You, you moron. I could have given you everything but now you royally pissed me off!”

In the next second, the purple aura surrounded her body and pushed away all of them. Miles was still stunned so he just rolled over and lied on his back. Zall rushed over to help him fall back.

“What the hell is this?” Maria asked.

“I have seen something similar before.” Miles thought the worst and explained, “She is evolving.”

“Let’s kill her before she does.” Carlo wanted to attack but Miles stopped him.

“She is pretty much untouchable in this state. We have to wait for her to evolve.”

“How about we use…” Xavic said as he pointed at the barrel at the side.

“It is our last resort, let’s wait for now. The monster I saw was a lot stronger after it evolved but it was also exhausted. Maybe we can kill her on our own.” Miles explained quietly. The acid could melt the monster for sure. But in Miles's opinion, Carlo and his friends were even more dangerous. Humans, as Moth-woman said, could pull one trick after another. Miles had to take precautions to incase they turned their weapons to him and his friends.
