SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112: An S-Rank Threat.

The moment Kael noticed the beasts changing their strategy, he moved.

His figure blurred across the battlefield.

Any monster that attempted to slip around him toward the fortress found him waiting before it could take more than a few steps.

A charging wolf exploded beneath a single kick.

A bear-like beast had its skull crushed before it even realised Kael had appeared beside it.

A giant mantis leapt into the air, hoping to bypass him from above.

Kael simply reached upward, grabbed one of its bladed forelimbs and slammed the creature into the ground with enough force to split the earth apart.

Blood sprayed across the battlefield.

Another gap opened within the horde.

Kael didn’t stop.

He moved like a machine built solely for destruction.

No wasted movements.

No hesitation.

Every step claimed lives.

Every punch created another opening.

Every kick shattered flesh and bone alike.

The monsters couldn’t get past him.

Not a single one.

High atop the fortress walls, Victor Smith watched everything unfold with an expression caught between admiration and concern.

The young man before him was undeniably powerful.

Terrifyingly so.

Yet...

Something about the battle bothered him.

Victor frowned.

"Why..."

"Why is he wasting so much power on low-level beasts?"

He had witnessed S-Rank Hunters fight before.

As hunters climbed through the ranks, their mana reserves increased dramatically.

However, so did the cost of their abilities.

The stronger the skill...

The greater the mana expenditure.

Experienced S-Rank Hunters rarely fought recklessly. They conserved their strength, eliminating weaker enemies with minimal effort while saving their strongest techniques for opponents worthy of them.

Victor had expected Kael to do the same.

Deal with the higher-ranked monsters.

Leave the lesser beasts to the soldiers and hunters defending the walls.

Yes, more monsters would inevitably reach the fortress that way.

There would be casualties.

But preserving an S-Rank’s strength was infinitely more important.

Because...

Victor slowly lifted his gaze toward the distant horizon.

Far behind the seemingly endless tide of monsters...

A colossal silhouette advanced.

Even from several kilometres away, it towered over every other creature in the horde.

A gigantic ape.

Its body resembled a moving mountain.

Every step caused the earth beneath it to tremble.

The pressure radiating from its enormous frame reached the fortress despite the incredible distance separating them.

Victor’s breathing unconsciously became heavier.

An A-Rank beast.

Possibly...

An S-Rank monster.

That creature was the true threat.

Everything happening now was merely the prelude.

Yet Kael continued unleashing devastating attacks without restraint, wiping out wave after wave of insignificant monsters.

Victor couldn’t help wondering if the young man simply lacked battlefield experience.

He looked too young.

Perhaps...

He had only recently advanced to S-RRank.

That would explain his reckless fighting style.

Victor sighed inwardly.

Even if that were true...

There was nothing he could say.

He wasn’t arrogant enough to lecture someone whose strength far surpassed his own.

All he could do was hope.

Hope Kael had enough strength remaining when the gigantic ape finally reached the battlefield.

Or at the very least...

That he could stall it until reinforcements arrived.
