Seeing the large humanoid beast, Moses' face became priceless, and the furrow of his brows loosened significantly as well.
A warbeast, as the name implied, existed to fight. Not only were their physical defences terrifyingly strong, but their strength was unparalleled and could overthrow city walls. These types of beasts were known as the Children of the Earth.
A single footstep of these warbeasts could cause tremors within a hundred kilometres. If it was a strong warbeast or a group of them, then they could bring down a small empire Imperial City's walls with their footsteps from a distance of 10 kilometres away.
Despite this, a warbeast's single target attack was pathetically weak, and they had an even greater weakness in speed.
There were not many warbeasts within the Northern Continent, but they were not extremely rare either. Practically every empires had a few warbeasts under their command.
"Captain, that's a warbeast. Its defence is strong, but its offence is relatively weak. What should we do, should we fight it, and force it away?" One of the Big Boys asked.
"No wonder there was such a strong tremor, it was a warbeast! Since it's a warbeast, this will be easier to deal with." Moses laughed, "Brothers, a warbeast isn't much of a threat to us, let's drive it back!"
"Alright!"
Immediately, a group of mercenaries jumped down from their mounts and dashed toward the large warbeast.
Erza sat in the caravan as she estimated that there were probably only five hundred meters separating them and the warbeast. Her mind raced as she tried to think of any good information on warbeasts.
"A warbeast's strength is determined by its size. A warbeast that has reached Emperor level will be around a hundred meters tall. A King Realm Warbeast will be around fifty meters, and a Knight Realm Warbeast would be less than ten meters tall. Judging from this warbeast, it's a little over ten meters, making it a Peak Knight or an Early King Warbeast." Erza muttered.
"A warbeast's defences are exceptionally strong. Even a Magical Cannon would be unable to do damage to it. The stronger it is, the more terrifying its defences are. It would be incredibly hard to kill one. Even the dragon clan during the peak of Beast Era was said to have been unable to match with the warbeast's defences. I'm not sure if I can penetrate through its defences with my current strength."
"HHOOOOUUU!" Seeing a group of mercenaries charged toward it like a group of small ants, the warbeast let out a roar before stomping heavily on the ground.
*Bang!*
As an oppressive roar rang out, the ground around the warbeast began to fiercely shake. A series of web-like cracks ran through the ground in all directions. Soon, the area within the large perimeter was covered in cracks.
The violent shaking of the ground had caused the caravans to sway violently. The force was so great that even Erza was not able to control herself, and fell to the ground.
*Creakkkk….*
The caravans began to creak with a painful sound as the various commodities tumbled to the ground. Not too long after, dozens of caravans all collapsed.
This kind of earthquake did not affect the Big Boys at all. The group quickly arrived at the warbeast's feet and resolutely hacked at the warbeast's body with their weapons.
However, they did not damage the giant warbeast at all. Even its fur had remained completely uncut.
"HHOOOOOUUU!" The large warbeast snarled angrily. It lifted one of its large legs into the air before firmly slamming it down towards a mercenary's head.
That mercenary lazily rolled away and dodged the warbeast's foot. When the warbeat strongly slammed its foot into the ground with a seeming endless amount of force, the entire area shook violently once more. But what amazed everyone was the fact that when the warbeast lifted its leg, there was not a single trace of a crater to be seen from the blow.
"The defences of a warbeast are quite strong. Everyone put more strength into your attacks, combine them!" Moses cried out as a faint blue light covering his weapon. With an explosive shout, a large amount of essences surged into his weapon as he slashed down onto the warbeast.
Although Moses used his entire strength on that one strike, it still did not have any effect. The warbeast's skin remained undamaged like before and not even a single strand of hair was cut.
"Damn it all!" Moses could not help but curse out loud. "Why is this warbeast so strong defensively? It's just standing there for me to kill, but I can't kill it!"
"Captain, this warbeast is just too strong in terms of defence! We're not strong enough to harm its defences, so what should we do, run away?" A mercenary shouted to Moses.
"Captain, this warbeast is a beast at the peak of Knight Realm! Even if a King can damage it, we surely cannot with our strength! It'd be for the best if we retreat!" A gray robed middle aged man spoke to Moses from his side.
"That's right, Captain. We don't have any way of beating this warbeast!"
...
Hearing his mercenaries opinions, Moses did not hesitate. Immediately barking out a command, he shouted, "Brothers, head toward the caravans, I'll hold the warbeast off!"
"Yes!"
Immediately a dozen men ran back toward the caravans at the back of the group. The moment they saw the caravans, each one of them became thunderstruck. Each one of the caravans had been broken apart from the shockwaves, making it impossible to run away.
"Crap, what do we do now? With so many goods, we won't be able to store them all in the storage rings!"
The mercenaries all felt a bit awkward as Trevor began to panic and fluster about with concern.
*Bang! Bang!*
At that moment, the earth shook violently once more as the warbeast charged forward with heavy footsteps. Carrying with it an imposing air that had destroyed the caravans, its feet continued to harass the Big Boys underneath it without any concerns.
"Crap, it's coming! Sire Trevor, you should store the most important items into your storage ring first. With so many things, it's impossible to save them all!" Seeing the warbeast come trampling over, one of the mercenaries shouted nervously to the weak looking man behind them.
"But, but, these items are all precious! This is practically my life savings. If I give them up, I will take disastrous losses! Plus, my storage ring isn't even that big to begin with, so I won't be able to carry much!" Trevor cried out bitterly as he looked at the ten broken caravans with a broken heart.
"No one needs to panic. This warbeast here, leave it to me and I'll stall it."
Just as Trevor and a few other mercenaries were panicking, a calm voice suddenly rang out. Everyone turned their heads to look at the owner of the voice only to see Erza who had not bothered to participate in this battle until now.
The mercenaries and Trevor's face had a skeptical look to it as they watched the only girl in the group walk forward. They clearly did not believe the words she was speaking, and so a mercenary could not help but say, "What did you say, girl? You're going to stall the warbeast?"
"Erna, this warbeast is unbelievably tough in terms of defences. Not only that, but it's also a Peak Knight Beast. Unless we have a Mid King Realm expert here with us, then it'll be impossible to fight this. Even an Early King expert will be unable to pierce through the defences of this warbeast!" An experienced mercenary explained to Erza. He doubted Erza due to her age and because of how strong the warbeast was.
As everyone called Erza's strength into question, she only smiled without explaining herself. Walking forward, her body suddenly flew like a bullet toward the warbeast a hundred meters away.
Erza's speed was exceedingly fast. In the blink of an eye she appeared right in front of the warbeast and a black sword instantly materialized in her right hand. The sword was called Melforce, a Peak King-Grade treasure which she requested from Valentine Clan. She had long considered the fact that the Heavenly Flame Sword was too eye-catching and could blow her cover.
With sparks of black lightning dancing around the blade, Erza thrusted it in between the eyebrows of the warbeast.
As Melforce made contact with the space between the eyebrows of the warbeast, it was prevented from going any further. Erza's eyes narrowed for a moment as she felt a large amount of resistance against her sword. For a moment, Erza had began to doubt that this was a warbeast and was instead an incomparably defensive essence.
"HHOOOOUU!" The warbeast let out an angry snarl as both of its eyeballs stared at Erza with a bloodthirsty glare and threw a hand at her.
Turning her body in the air, Erza flew down to avoid the paw and landed gracefully on the ground. Her eyes sharpened as she looked at the gorilla type warbeast. "What a strong defence! No wonder the legends say that even Magical Cannons aren't able to injure it."
However, her initial sword strike had left the faintest of traces upon further observation despite not landing a substantial blow on the warbeast. Although she did not use her entire strength, Erza knew that even with it, there was no guarantee that she would be able to split open the warbeast's defences.
A warbeast's defences were legendary within the Northern Continent and rumours had it that humans and beasts within the same level as the warbeast would be utterly incapable of damaging it. Even if a human were to use an extremely strong battle skill, it would perhaps be able to create a small amount of damage. The moment a warbeast reached the King Realm, its defences would also greatly increase and even an Emperor Realm expert would have a hard time killing it.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
The warbeast followed Erza with his eyes as each footstep it made shook the ground. Walking toward Erza, it could still feel the slight pain from Erza's sword.
"Erna, hurry up and run! The warbeast is about to charge at you!" Moses cried out.
However Erza turned a deaf ear to Moses' warning and with a sharp gaze that was filled with energy she looked at the approaching warbeast, Erza's black sword suddenly burst into a green glow. It was the power of Hope!
"HHHHOOOOUU!" The warbeast was right in front of Erza now. With another roar, he lifted up his leg to stomp on the girl beneath him.
Erza dodged the following step by moving to the side. Then jumped in between the warbeast's eyebrows, the black sword stabbed forward like a flash of lightning.
This time, the moment the sharp Melforce made contact with the eyebrows of the warbeast, it was almost as if the defences no longer existed. The black sword easily stabbed through the warbeast's defences straight into its skull.
"Aaaaaooooo!" The warbeast let out a miserable cry that reverberated through the air. Slowly, the howls of pain receded as the giant body slowly crashed to the ground.
Erza pulled out her Melforce from the skull of the warbeast as a few bloody drops fell to the ground.
*Bang!*
The warbeast's gigantic body smashed against the ground, shaking the ground twice as it sent a ton of dust flying up into the air.
