The monster lunged at the group, with Nova instantly spawning his daggers and crisscrossing them to defend against the monster's attack. As the monster and Nova collided, Nova instantly felt the overwhelming force and was pushed to the ground, but he held himself, or at least tried.
Elesch and Adam tag-teamed and took Nova's flanks and attacked the monster simultaneously from the sides, with they weren't able to penetrate through the monster's defenses.
Then, Nova looked at the Circle of Pillars that was inked on the monster and realized that from the previous S-rank beast, it was now an evolved D-rank threat, which was, obviously, much worse.
He gulped as his skin burned, but his legs were cold, almost numbing themselves. He backed up as the monsters' attack created a larger crater in the ground, which sent a ripple through the entire city.
