Alex's PoV:

As the senior heroes, junior heroes, and I were nearing the location where Axel was fighting against the high-level monsters, a lot of mana signatures that were spread throughout the forest kept on appearing within the surroundings.

The said mana signatures came from different high-level monsters and the mana that was contained in the mana signatures were condensed and abundant.

The mood of our group was becoming good as we thought to ourselves that we were almost at the place where Axel was fighting against the high-level monsters.

After another minute of flying towards the direction where I had deduced that Axel was located, the senior heroes, junior heroes and I found out destroyed trees in the surroundings.

There was also a huge and mighty-looking armadillo that was lying on the ground while having its body covered with its blood.

I'm certain that the armadillo that we had found was one of the high-level monsters that Axel had fought against.

If that was the case, then Axel might have defeated other high-level monsters such as the armadillo that we had found lying on the ground.

The number of high-level monsters that had fought against Axel might have been reduced due to Axel defeating some of them.

The reason that Axel might be in harm's way must be because he had fought against the high-level monsters and attempted to defeat the high-level monsters instead of just stalling time and waiting for the senior heroes, junior heroes, and I to arrive and support him.

That might have been a great idea if it weren't for the fact that Axel was badly defeated by one of the high-level monsters.

I'm sure that even with the help of the senior heroes, junior heroes, and I, we would only be able to defeat at most 3 high-level monsters.

I'm not the type who would overestimate his abilities. Therefore, it would be better to be cautious in confronting one of the high-level monsters so that our lives wouldn't be at risk.

The high-level monsters should be several levels stronger than Axel yet he had defeated some of the high-level monsters which meant that the strength of Axel was nothing to be scoffed at.

Our group's utmost priority was to save Axel and prevent him from dying since his strength, potential and talent were significant in dealing with the Demon Lords.

If Axel would have died at the hands of the high-level monsters, then the hero's party would be screwed.

Axel's strength played a key role in defeating the demon lords due to Axel's cheat skill that allowed him to grow much faster than other heroes out there.

Even someone like me who possessed a system cheat skill would be envious of a cheat skill that would earn stats by just eating the flesh of a monster.

I wished that I would have a system mission in these times of need so that I would earn system points.

By earning system points, I could exchange the system points that I had to earn into a skill or an artifact.

I had browsed through the system shop before going out of the Hoky Church which led me to find a lot of useful and powerful skills such as [Sword Song] and [Sword Dance].

I only needed 500 system points for each mythical rank skill and since the [Sword Song] and [Sword Dance] skilled at the mythical rank, then I would only need a total of 1000 system points to acquire both skills.

Sigh... I hope I would encounter a system mission so that I would get the skills I needed in the system shop.

*Ding!*

*The System has heard the host's call. The system will now generate a system mission that would fit the host's current scenario.*

*System mission generation is now at 0%... 1%...*

As the percentage of the system mission generation kept on increasing by 1 percent every second that had passed by, it took exactly 100 seconds for the system mission to be generated.

*Ding!*

*An S-Class mission has been generated! The system mission's information will now be loaded...*

S-Class Rank Mission- Evil! Thou Will Be Vanquished!

Completed 0/7

-Eliminate all the high-level monsters that had yet to be defeated by the Hero Axel.

Reward: 1000 system points

______________________

Nice! It seemed that the system had heeded my call and even the rewards that I had wanted from a system mission were added in the system mission that the system had given me.

I would acquire both the [Sword Song] and [Sword Dance] skills if I completed the S-Class system mission.

With that in mind, I became even more motivated to defeat the high-level monsters because not only would I assist Axel, I would also acquire rewards from my acts due to the newly accepted system mission that was generated by the system.

*Ding!*

*Due to providing the host with a system mission at the S-Class Rank, the system would be able to generate another S-Class Rank system mission that would fit the host's current scenario.*

*Will the host allows the system to generate another S-Class Rank system mission? Yes or No?*

Yes, of course! I badly needed system missions right now so that my growth speed would increase.

If my only main cheat skill, the system, wouldn't provide me any system mission that would supplement my growth speed, then I'm better of without any system.

What's the point of having a system that wouldn't even provide any assistance to the host?

It was a good thing that the system had somehow listened to what I had wished and so the system granted me system missions that were at S-Class Rank difficulty.

After a translucent blue screen appeared in front of me which displayed the S-Class Rank system mission that I had received just a while ago, another translucent blue screen appeared in front of me.

This time, the translucent blue screen displayed the information about the S-Class Rank system mission that I had allowed for the system to be generated.

I had already accepted that S-Class Rank system mission so there was no turning back now but I didn't plan on doing so.

I read the contents that were displayed on the translucent blue screen.

S-Class Rank System Mission- Fulfilling An Apprentice's Duty

Completed 0/2

-Save Axel from the threat of the high-level monsters and take him out from Death's Door

Reward/s: 500 System Points, Gain the favorability from the being known as "Axel"

______________________

Now that my S-Class Rank system missions were ready, it was time to focus on saving Axel from the high-level monsters while completing the system missions in the process.

As the senior heroes, junior heroes, and I were approaching towards the direction where Axel was located, we saw a figure that was surrounded by multiple huge figures.

As we got closer, I found a horse with three horns on its head and that three-horned horse used its triple horn to pierce the back of Axel.

The back of Axel that was pierced by the three-horned horse oozed out a liter of blood as Axel was bleeding profusely.

"Axel!"

Aerin yelled in sorrow as she saw Axel being harmed by the three-horned horse and while witnessing Axel near death's door.

Aerin quickly activates her nature magic to manipulate the trees in the surroundings as she used the trees to create multiple long pikes that were placed on the ground in a circular formation.

The high-level monsters that surrounded Axel stepped back when the wooden pikes were placed around Axel.

Inside the wooden pike circular formation were Axel and the three-horned horse who still didn't release Axel from being pierced by its three sharp horns.

Aerin was angered by the three-horned horse as it didn't let go of Axel. Aerin manipulated the grasses below the three-horned horse to attack the three-horned horse.

Due to the grasses being manipulated and coated with the mana of Aerin, the grasses were reinforced drastically and were as durable and sharp as a mythical sword.

The tip of the grasses was aimed towards the three-horned horse and was heading towards the three-horned horse which caused the three-horned horse to retreat from the spot where the grasses had grown.

The grasses caused the three-horned horse to release Axel as it backed away from the grasses.

The grasses didn't pursue the three-horned horse as Aerin had already fulfilled her purpose of separating Axel from the three horns of the three-horned horse.

Aerin and the rest of us quickly flew towards Axel and descended on the ground where Axel was lied at.

Aerin, Pedonar, and Aileen quickly checked the condition of Axel while Sophie was remaining vigilant towards the high-level monsters that were watching our every move.

Sophie tried to intimidate the high-level monsters with the use of her killing intent but it didn't frighten the high-level monsters as if the high-level monsters had experienced a much worst killing intent.

Satomi, Distere, and I were also checking up on the condition of Axel as our group was determining the condition of Axel.

Fortunately, our group was able to arrive just in time before Axel had lost a large amount of blood.

Our group's focus was to heal Axel's wound while the other members of our group would watch the movement of the high-level monsters.
