These four creatures looked slightly humanoid with bent backs, their hands were their biggest part of the body, and their palms were the size of a watermelon. They wore wild clothes, and their bodies had dark green patterns.

Noticing Aren, all four of them screamed weirdly as their red eyes glowed. Two of them dashed towards Aren while the other two pushed their palm towards Athan before releasing an almost invisible palm projection.

Aren became serious right after seeing their status, so he was ready for their attacks.

*Swooosh….*

He flew up and dodged the palm attacks before flying around chaotically at full speed to avoid being hit by their skills.

Those two Ulkamesh creatures produced dark green wings and started flying as they chased Aren while trying to attack him while the other two Ulkamesh creatures stayed on the ground and released their long-range skills.

‘I have to finish this fast,’ Aren thought with seriousness as their attacks were no joke.

While flying around, he turned around and looked at the two Ulkamesh creatures following him, their speed slower than Aren, so they couldn’t catch up, but since they were unable to catch, they started using palm projection attacks while chasing.

While dodging their palm projectile attacks, Aren started preparing his plan to take all of them out in one attack.

He first tried to use <Demonic Overlord> on the two following behind him to see if it would work. He didn’t have much hope because Demonic Overlord would suppress their wills while these ancient creatures didn’t look like they had wills at all.

As he tried to suppress them by using this skill, those two creatures also screamed while grabbing their heads for a second. However, they seemed to have become angrier after that.

‘Since this didn’t work much, then the Cursed Shofar would work better on them instead as I expected,’ Aren thought as he started preparing.

Aren started powering up his hammer and started buffing it.

-300 Mutant Magic energy ready to activate the <Impact Burst> skill; he even used 200 soul energy to invoke powerful mutant magic energy instead of the normal one. Actually, the mutant magic energy invoked using soul energy was the true one he felt.

<Demonic Flame: Zarkhel> activated as it coated the hammer.

<Icy Enchant> also activated.

<Hyper Charge> activated as well, which will give a boost to the entire power of the hammer.

Everything was ready, but Aren decided to make some defensive measures as he attacked the Ulkamesh creatures following him using [Lech] in close range.

-4870

He slashed them with this chain whip without missing ten times to activate the buff of [Weimbus] gear through Armalist Cloak. He attacked those two creatures randomly because they were trying to dodge as well, so he had to make it unpredictable for them.

->Weimbus: An energy barrier materializes around you after successfully attacking 10 consecutive times in a row without missing. (Energy Barrier: Durability [2000], Phy. Def [1000] Energy Def [1000]. Cooldown: 10 minutes)

A transparent barrier appeared around Aren. However, he didn’t stop there and also activated the Wolven Sun Barrier of [Weimbus] by consuming 1000 spirit energy, which created another barrier around him with 5000 Durability.

Aren decided to make these defensive measures because those Ulkamesh creatures had more skills, and so far, they only used one type of skill against him.

So, since he was going near them, he decided to be cautious and prepare defenses if they released their other skills, which he didn’t know the details of.

After preparing two barriers, Aren manipulated [Destruco] and stationed it at the very far end of the hall, at the top corner. The hammer was wreathen in Zarkhel flame that appeared dark blue while pulsing with deep orange and red patterns on its structure.

Aren was still flying at a fast speed to avoid being hit while preparing, and once the hammer was stationed, he flew around before descending towards the two Ulkamesh creatures with [Cursed Shofar] in his hand.

Right when he passed by those two Ulkamesh on the ground, and the other two following behind him arrived near those two on the ground, Aren blew the [Cursed Shofar] as a loud sound reverberated.

However…those two Ulkamesh on the ground also released another skill at the same time when Aren came near them, <Thun-shatter Clap> which was an area-wide skill as waves of destructive sound energy vibrating at fast speed hit Aren.

*POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….*

After the [Cursed Shofar] released its sound and stunned everyone, Aren was hit by the [Thun-shatter clap] skill.

Both of his barriers were shattered in an instant while Aren was thrown away, spewing blood from his mouth.

-4170

His internal organs were jumbled and raptured. However, Aren also came out of the stunned state 0.5 earlier than he planned.

While enduring the pain, Aren called down his hammer of devastation towards the four Ulkamesh creatures that were now close to each other and were in a stunned state.

*Zwooooooooooom….BOOOOOOOOOOM….*

*Puchi…*

Aren spewed more blood as he fell to the ground and was dragged for a few meters before stopping.

‘Damn…,’ Aren cursed as he wiped the blood from his mouth and started drinking the [Health Potions] to recover his body health.

‘Without those two barriers, I would have died…,’ Aren thought with a shudder and was glad that he remained cautious.

He looked at the [Hexshira] gear floating beside him; it was the shield he brought. However, it proved to be useless against that strange skill that hit him.

Even his armor couldn’t block it, and his internal organs were damaged directly.

[Hexshira]’s buff through Armalist cloak was that it would produce a powerful barrier with 10,000 Durability once his Body Health dropped to 50%. However, that wouldn’t work if he was dealt fatal damage that could instantly kill him.

After recovering his health to full by drinking several [Health Potion], Aren sat in meditation and started recovering his spirit energy, mutant, magic energy, and soul energy.

Now he had four paths to travel, and he likely had to go to all of them one by one because of the quest objectives.

After twenty minutes, Aren finished recovering his energies through meditation and flew towards the east path.

The passage was short and after going through it, Aren arrived in a natural place with a waterfall to his left side. The river flowing from the waterfall went deep into the jungle ahead but Aren’s destination was just two hundred meters ahead of him.

There was a large five meters tall and four meters wide crystal floating on a rectangle pedestal that was ten meters tall. The crystal was dark green with white patterns on it.

*thud…*

However, there was also a giant five meters tall creature with a burly body, four hands, and held four giant swords in its four hands. The creature stood up after Aren arrived here and roared towards him.
