Small upgrade system

The cave wasn\'t fully underwater and because of this, now Maria and others were standing on solid ground. They slowly and silently move. Their goal is to stop the enemy.

Alena and the other warriors, who were good at using the light spell, already cast the holy ray. There were five dark monsters guarding the enemy. Before going to the enemy, they obviously need to finish those monsters.

It didn\'t take too much time and they finally could see the enemy and also those 5 dark monsters. Maria and Alena looked carefully and saw that they were very close to finishing the forbidden symbol. They needed to finish the 5 monsters.

Alena looks toward the warriors, who were also casting the holy ray spell. They all nodded and instantly attacked the dark monsters who were near them.

Those two monsters who were hit by the holy ray instantly let out a painful cry. They are painful cries that attract the other three monsters\' attention. They also roared angrily and quickly approached Alena\'s direction. Those monsters instantly make three dark balls and throw them toward Alena. Alena dodges these dark balls easily while she still maintains the holy ray.

Maria and the other warriors instantly attack those three monsters. They know that a physical attack won\'t do that much damage to them. Even so, Maria was a peak A-grade warrior and her attack will affect them. As you can guess, she sent one monster flying backward.

Alena and other Holi ray, caster maintaining the holy ray, and a few minutes later those monsters turned into dust. At this time, the others who can use the holy ray spell attack those three monsters. Even physical attacks didn\'t do that much damage to those monsters, but receiving those attacks from peak A-grade warriors and many early A-grade warriors made those monsters injured.

Alena and the other caster use this chance and once again start casting the holy ray spell. In just 1 minute, they finish casting the holy ray spell and attack those dark monsters.

Those dark monsters weren\'t together because of this holy ray only hit one monster. That monster late out a painful cry in just a few seconds he turns into dust. This time because they only attacked one monster, it took only some seconds to kill him. Now only two monsters were left.

Fredrick already noticed them. But he was busy drawing the Forbidden symbol. He could do nothing. He cannot lose his focus while drawing the Forbidden symbol or it will cost his life. Still, seeing the dark monsters were getting killed by the association\'s warriors, he knows he needs to speed it up or his lord could only be able to come here.

After seeing that only two monsters were left, he speeded up his work. He just needs a minute to finish the drawing, and then he can finally summon his lord.

Warrior association,

Right now, all the Saints were ready to move anytime. Fortunately, Maria and the other warriors bring some camera bots to the underwater cave, and because of this, they could see the pattern. After looking at the pattern carefully, they finally understand what the enemy is aiming for.

This was an 8-diagram pattern to someone the dark lord. In this 8 diagram pattern, the caster needs a different person\'s blood to draw the pattern, and also he needs his own blood to draw the big pattern that connects all those small 8 patterns.

This dark lord is very different compared to other monsters. If the dark lord saman is here, you will instantly go toward the 8 people whose blood was used to draw the small 8 patterns. The dark lord needed to absorb their life energy.

The more he absorbs their life energy, the more he will get stronger, and if he can finally absorb all of those 8 warriors\' life energy, then the strength of this dark lord will be higher than the Saint. This means the lord will be a SS rank monster. This was the thing that nobody knew except the Saints. Because of this, the Saints are ready to take action anytime.

They guessed that the enemy was using the blood of those students, which meant those students\' lives were in danger.

Back to Sam,

Sam and his teammates were finally recovering their lost energy. Now, they will start waking. All the data from the ground and one by one started walking. They weren\'t in a hurry, because of this they were walking, not running. Also, one thing is that Gustav, Aliya, and Pijus, also their teammates, are also going with them.

"Flashback"

Some time ago, while they were resting, Tony asked Pijus about his condition.

"It all happened when my friends and I were facing an elephant beetle. The elephant beetle was a peak E-grade monster, because of this, we were having a hard time killing this monster. But after a long flight, we could finally kill that beetle. It took us two hours to finish the beetle. You can say we were panting heavily. As you can guess, we almost don\'t have any physical or spiritual energy. We put almost all of our energy into killing this monster. So we found a place to rest. While we were resting, we heard the sound of a monster. We have never heard this type of sound before. Me and my teammates don\'t have the power to fight, so we hide. We were waiting for the monster to reveal himself."

"I was curious about the monster. So, we all were waiting silently. After sometime later, we finally saw the monster. It was a monitor. It has an ox\'s head, but the body wasn\'t. Me and my teammates thought that this monster was searching for something, but we never thought that this monster was here to attack us. Even when we were hiding, the monster still found us and attacked us. As you know, we don\'t have that much power and because of this, we cannot run away from there. I don\'t know if you believe me or not, but when this monster appears, I am feeling something ominous is going to happen."

"The more the monster gets closer to me, the more this feeling becomes stronger. His only focus is on me. He didn\'t even look at my teammates while defeating them. He easily sends all of my teammates to the warrior association. Now there was only me and the monster. Don\'t know what happened but I can see the craziness in that monster\'s eyes, which made me terrified. Fortunately, the warriors from the warrior associations instantly appear in front of me and then attack the monster with holy rays. It took them some time, but eventually, that monster turned into dust. Then what can I do? I become a solo warrior and come toward the central area alone. But when I was near the central area, I found that Gustav, Aliya, and their teammates were facing 10 vicious dogs, and they were in critical condition. At first, I didn\'t want to interfere with their battle, but then I helped them. Like this, I meet them." Pijus explains all of this that happened to him.

"Flashback end"

"Ring... Ring..... Ring." Suddenly Jeni\'s watch vibrated. It means someone from the association was trying to contact her.

Wasting no time, she quickly taps the answer button.

"Jeni, darling, how are you?" She heard a familiar voice. It was her grandmother\'s voice.

"Grandma, I am fine. What happens, grandma? Why are you contacting me?" Jeni asked directly. Her grandmother contacted her like this, saying that something bad happened or was going to happen. She has a bad feeling about this.

"Darling, don\'t worry and try to stay with your team. Don\'t go separately anywhere. We finally found the enemy, but he is going to summon a powerful enemy. Maria and others were trying to stop him from doing this, but k don\'t they will be successful, and also Maria and others won\'t be able to take the enemy. But don\'t worry about it, I am coming also Markus and Mira are coming to you, and also try to stay calm," Vena said to her. After talking, Vena cut the call.

Jeni, Kenny, Tina, Tony, Alexa, Sam, and others had now become very shocked after hearing her word. Maria and the others won\'t be able to defeat that summoning monster, so it means the monster that the enemy wanted to summon this time was more powerful than Maria, Alena, and the other A-grade warriors.
