Chapter 562 Combat Test
Chapter 562 Combat Test
After a grueling week of harsh training, the elites of Band of Steel and Astor Royal Guard are as prepared as they could be. Their muscles ached, the bones trembled and their skins scarred, but all the efforts would be worth it should some of them manage to become S-rankers.
They did not think it is possible for all of them to become one but if majority did so, it would still be great for them, as their status would be even higher in the Realm.
With all the training, they wonder if the Master would send them to combat already.

"No." the quick refusal earned gobsmacked expression from the elites, all of them believing they were prepared for the fight.
"You are used to fighting human opponents but your future opponent would be a large bug bigger than anything you have ever seen before. Not to mention her Swarm of A-rank Bugs. Their number alone greater than yours, about 100 or so.
Before I allow you to fight the Ruler, there is an opponent you need to beat first." Maroon and Aridus exchanged glance before looking back at the Demon Lord.
Both of them prayed the same thing, "Please don't be Master, please don't be Master,"
"Will be me-" "Noooooo!" before he could finish, the two leaders wailed, already on their knees as they dramatically scream to the air.
Alros rolled his eyes due to them being absolute drama queen.
"Will be my tentacle monster I created just for this." he finished. Aridus and Maroon quickly stood up like they did not just scream into the air few seconds ago.
"I have use my power to make the tentacle monster as strong as possible. It strength should be around pseudo S-rank or weak S-rank. It could not compare to the Ruler of Forest of Bug but it would be good training.
Your task is to subdue the tentacle monster, which would be the same as your future task, to subdue the Ruler."
When he finished, the elites exchanged glances before Maroon asked, "What if we kill the tentacle monster?"
"Then you have to start over the next day." Alros replied, causing them to shudder at the thought.
"Quick-" whatever Aridus was about to say was cut off by the presence of smaller but faster tentacle monsters. The number alone reached about 100 or so, and the worst part, all of them are A-rank.
The pressure they were facing intensified in that moment, as the tentacle monsters all surround them, forcing them into a disadvantageous position.
"Darn it!" Maroon yelled before grabbing one of the chain and throwing it around the smaller tentacle monsters.
He manage to get three before pulling them to the ground, quickly chaining them to the ground.
"Aridus! The two of us along with 5 more people will hold the line, and make sure the bigger one would be forced back! The rest focus on dealing with the annoyance!"
The servant did not reply verbally, instead giving Maroon a quick look, telling the former Prince he heard the plan and agree to it.
Quickly, Aridus and Maroon engaged against the tentacle monster with the help of 5 others. Though, despite the numerical superiority, the other five might as well not exist as the tentacle monster quickly send them flying, essentially eliminating them in an instant and forcing the strongest two on the defensive, hoping they would buy enough time.
As the two engage in the most dangerous game of tag, the others quickly defeat the smaller tentacle monsters. The smaller one might outnumber the elites, but they are far stronger and in this battle of quantity versus quality, quality won this round.
With the smaller tentacle monsters defeated, most of them subdued while some were killed due to their aggression, the group of elites quickly surrounded the S-rank tentacle monster.

"It seem they will succeed." Alros commented, watching as the tentacle monster tried to hit the elites. However, even if it's tendrils are the same number as the elites, it could not swing all of them at once as it would get some entangled with another tendril.
This allow the elites to use the chain to wrap around the tendril, weakening the main body. Even if the chain would not be able to restrain the tendril itself for too long due to the strength of the Monster, it would still weaken them, the Demonic Energy a bane to many living creature, especially one he designed to weaken the target.
Slowly, the tentacle monster dropped its main tentacle one by one, before it fell, signaling the end of the test and the success of his elites.
Alros smiled,
"They're ready."
