BXBX NOVEL Chapter 278 Vicious Monsters
"Mining, huh?" Titan quickly realized the strategy seemed to be possible.
He was currently tanking magic attacks with Spiritual Barriers and his own physical body while unleashing explosive Elemental Beast Spirits, but he quickly realized the strategy, leveling the Mining Skill to Level 10 and then shapeshifting his enormous wooden arms into pickaxes, beginning to smack the turtles with all he had.
C R A A S H!
C R A A S H!
C R A A S H!
"Wait, this is working!" He realized, as the turtles started to slowly shatter apart, becoming more vulnerable, so his beast spirits finished them.
Acorn quickly helped as well, as he has been using his bombs to explode and break the crystals, but now he was picking up the materials they dropped and suddenly using his Alchemy to synthetize them into Crystal Bombs on the go, an amazing showcase of his growth as an alchemist. These bombs had elemental properties tied to the color of the crystals. He mostly choose the red crystals from the drops, making them into effectively deadlier firebombs.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Many monsters exploded into pieces, as Acorn was left perplexed by the strength of the bombs he had made just in the go.
"Amazing, this is great!"
Meanwhile, Achlys seemed incapable of using Mining for obvious reasons, she had nothing that could be used as a tool, and she had low STR stat, actually.
"I don\'t think I can do that myself, sadly. But I am handling things just fine over here!"
Rita was using her tricky darkness magic and her control overshadows to send the monsters into chaos, incapable of being able to hit her at all, while trapping them in shadows and finishing them off with dozens of attacks resembling weapons made of darkness.
She was thriving in these battles because she had her Malice Absorption, which could drain the Malice Energy from the Miasma everywhere. Also the Terrain made up from the Miasma spread everywhere was boosting her darkness element a lot, so she was already strong thanks to the enemy itself.
"I also discovered it! My hammer\'s also a deadly Mining Tool!"
Lily said, as she seemed to have leveled up thanks to the quests giving her the ability to earn EXP from these high-level monsters, even though it shouldn\'t be possible. Even half of the EXP I was earning was a lot for her when shared towards her.
Thanks to that, she got her Summon Skill and summoned her first summon, which was a large monitor lizard-like monster of three meters of height covered with rocks and that could shape into a ball and roll at an incredible speed, a Rolling Stone Lizard.
She mounted the beast while smacking the enemies around her, the turtles slowly shattered into pieces, and the beetles that tried to smack her were hit with Mountain Walls that popped out from the ground, launching them into the air so Lily jumped around the walls she created and smacked them with her hammer in midair, destroying them one by one.
"Mining is not my thing, but ice can also knock them out easily. Frozen enemies seem to become more frail!"
Meanwhile Nieve and Florie worked together, Florie boosted Nieve\'s magic through the roof alongside enhancing Lily\'s stats with her Buffing Spells, and then Nieve unleashed icicle spears everywhere, while freezing the floor so the monsters couldn\'t walk properly. She took care of half of the Vampire Bats alone as well, slicing them all into pieces using her deadly Magic Sword Techniques which she had leveled up a lot before. It seemed as if her strength had suddenly been enhanced by a tenfold.
"I guess you guys are handling it just fine!" I said with a smile, as I noticed a flock of Vampire Bats rushing my way. Their wings suddenly summoned magic circles of large size, and then gathered shadows, firing them at me shaped as projectiles.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
I quickly jumped away from the bombardment of magic from the skies, as I used Spiritual Shield to shield some of the damage, but it wasn\'t enough as the barriers were being easily broken.
Nonetheless, I wasn\'t alone.
"MEEEEE!"
Belle furiously rushed forward to defend me. Her enormous size coupled with her enhanced physical strength, ability to walk in the air and her lightning producing horns made her for a deadly combination against flying monsters, who were often weak to the lightning element.
ZAAAAP!
By charging her golden horns with lightning, Belle unleashed a destructive zap of electricity against the Vampires, which quickly began to generate a chain reaction all around their flock. Several of them died on the spot, and for those that survived, Belle impaled them all with her horns one after the other…
CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH!

These Bats were small fry compared to Belle, now that she could even fly. There was nothing that could escape her wrathful, divine rage!
"MEEEE!"
ZAAAP!
More lightning emerged from her horns, suddenly falling over two enormous Crystal Beetles that tried to attack from left and right, as I smacked them using my Pickaxe.
CRAASH! CRAASH!
"Thanks for the help!"
"MEEE!"
