I felt such an intense level of pain that I would have blacked out if I didn't have [Pain Resistance] activated. While I was targeting the enormous moving landmass of a beast below, something else that was moving in the dark almost took my life.
Were it not for the many defense skills like [Diamond Skin], [Hard Body], [Golden Halo], and many more that layered my body at all times, it might not be only an arm I was missing
The pain was increasing as [Ultra Regeneration] and [Guardian's Light] continued to fall onto my body and regenerate my arm at a quick pace.
The formation of bones and muscle was excruciating, and I could only focus on flying and using [Instant Transfer] against the beast that began moving towards me again
The hunters with flying beasts on our side had met with their opponents in the skies, and there was nobody else to lend a hand as everyone had their hands full.
I kept my eyes on this grotesque mosquito that moved at quick speeds, dodging the stinger coming towards me by a hair's breadth each time as I waited to move my focus from the regenerating arm and retaliate with my own skills
BOOM! BOOM!
I was under huge pressure as green beams of light continued to come out of the wide jaws of the turtle and decimate the area around me.
It had focused its attacks on me and continued throwing them out as the stinger of the mosquito continued to try and pierce me once more.
[Frigid Impermanence] was not hitting the target in front of me as it moved too fast, the moment the skill was casted it would be at another position.
My arm finally finished regenerating as I felt the movements of my fingers again, and my full focus was placed on the fast moving enemy while evading the poisonous green blasts coming from below.
Multiple dark spears surrounded me as I casted [Spear of Destiny] multiple times and [Miniature Tornado]es appeared all around me to reduce the movements of this beast. The rough winds affected its flight as it relentlessly tried to get near me, and the game of cat mouse while dodging poisonous lasers resumed in the skies

Lightning Hand was putting his entire focus onto the enemies around him as he faced two rank B TITANs. He was swinging a large war hammer that danced with lightning, each swing causing tendrils of blue electricity to smash onto nearby enemies and push them back
He swung his hammer onto the head of one of the two TITANs as his face looked to the skies where a deadly battle was taking place.
The forces of the beast horde on the ground was in all out war with hunters, with Admirals and those in high positions screaming out commands for the hunters every second
Large groups of hunters holding tower shields were holding back the onslaught of beasts while powerful skills were casted towards them. Balls of fire, sharp wind blades, and flaming rocks flew towards the ranks of monsters trying to break through the defenses
The rank A hunters were in charge of holding back any TITANs that appeared so the defense line does not get broken through. Their job was crucial as even one position that was lost would cause tons of casualties.
He swung his war hammer to the remaining TITAN near him as its head burst in the shock of lightning and he moved towards an even bigger BOSS that was making its way to the defense line
A huge black eagle got to this large beast first, its sharp talons shredding the defenses of the beast as it used its feathers as sharp swords to wound it.
A roar came out of Lightning Hand's mouth as [Herald of Lightning] was casted, his hammer emanating wild power as balls of lightning flew forward with his swing, smashing onto the chest of the TITAN and knocking it back. The black eagle swooped in with its wide wings and dealt the killing blow, decapitating the head of the injured beast
Lightning Hand breathed roughly as he nodded at the figure of the golden haired woman on this eagle as they both moved towards other locations on the battlefield, their eyes occasionally looking up to the terrifying sight of tornadoes, beams of green light, and dark spears that were being thrown around in the skies.
Their fights were dangerous, but nothing as brutal as what the man in the center of attacks of two beasts higher than rank A was facing

Steel Mikhail was about to enter a bright orange monolith that represented a rank A dungeon in a neighboring city near the Empire's capital. His team was waiting for him when he turned around and looked to the south.
There were only clear blue skies, but he felt that something of great significance had begun over there.
His heart began pounding when he thought of the beast surpassing rank A that hunters might now be facing.
He wanted to be at the center himself, but his strength was better suited to prevent dungeon breaks across the Empire. This dungeon was already their third one today that they were called to. If they weren't here, then they didn't have to wait for the beasts to come from the outside to reap the lives of their people.
He reaffirmed his belief as he wished the best of the fight occuring in the south as he and his team placed their hands on the glowing monolith and disappeared.

The game of chase continued in the air as the grotesque mosquito continued to dodge the rushing spears and explosive blasts of cold elements as it maneuvered around the rapidly rotating winds of [Miniature Tornado]
I had to evade and dodge the strikes of the enemy in the air while also avoiding the poisonous blasts from the TITAN of a beast on the ground. My energy was still just as boundless though, my spells continuing to be thrown out while the speed the grotesque mosquito was slowing down
%@#&#!!!
It let out a grating howl as its frustration reached the peak and its body began glowing in a green light.
My skills continued to rain down on the beast to prevent whatever it was trying to do. The green light surrounding its body became denser as it became faster and came at me with much more vigor. I thought about how I could get an attack to hit this beast as I watched it speed towards me
The only time it stopped moving even for an instant was when it attacked my body for the first time. My heart raced as a wild idea spread and I recklessly implemented it as I saw the stinger come towards me again.
Time seemed to slow down as I shifted my body sideways but did not dodge completely, the stinger piercing through the right side of my stomach as my hands reached out to grab a hold of the beast which had its needle-like appendage lodged in my body briefly.
Three dark pulsating spears penetrated the body of the insect in front of me as a destructive blast of ice elements bloomed between us and blew both of us apart
BOOM!
I was prepared for the shock, [Guardian's Light] and [Ultra Regeneration] already being casted multiple times as I looked at the injured insect that leaked green puss all over its body. It was wobbling in the air as it began to pull itself down towards the humongous spiked turtle below, which seemed to have become enraged as more then three blasts of poisonous green beams were shot towards me
