'Um Sera, I don't think that is a wolf...' Aiden replied as the strongest amongst the pack showed himself.

He immediately used his inspection skill to see the level of the beast and his eyes darkened.

[ Black Thunder Hawk 

Expert Rank A Grade beast ]

The beast was flying in the air like it was the leader of the herd. It was as big as two adult human beings combined while its wingspan was at least the size of three human beings.

But the even more terrifying thing was that the beast was an expert rank A grade beast.

A ranked beasts were as strong as lower demon lords and one at the expert rank could rival an upper demon lord.

Aiden's power level was at the lower B ranked meaning that there was no way that he could defeat such a powerful beast.

However, he had someone else beside him.

< Try using inspection on her. > Sera suddenly said in a hurried tone as though she was trying something new.

The black-haired boy did what he was told and used the inspect skill on Artemis.

He had already used it thrice in the past but he hadn't seen her level once.

He was expecting the same thing to happen again however something weird happened this time.

[ Artemis

Title: ??? (Title is too powerful for the host to know)

Threat level: High A level, ??? (Sealed) ]

The 15-year-old boy was left shocked when he read her details. Even though some things were deliberately hidden, he could still see how powerful she was.

And if both of them combined their powers, there was a chance that they would be able to defeat this beast while the summoner was recovering.

Summoning beasts, especially those at a really high level, required a person to have high reserves of element energy.

A person 80% or more elemental energy was instantly wiped out by the summoning but to make sure that the summoned beast obeyed, the summoner would have to continue using his or her elemental energy.

However, this also meant that once the summoner's elemental energy was empty, the summoned beasts would enter a berserk state.

They would attack the first thing they would see, be it friends or foes.

Beasts in the berserk state were more dangerous than one realized. An A-grade beast could wipe out an entire village of weak demons in a single hit. This power only increased with time until the berserk state ended.

Some beasts could break free of such a state however many couldn't. And neither Aiden nor Artemis knew whether the hawk could break free or not.

But the hawk didn't seem to know that the strategic time was going on and it screeched loudly. Its black feathers were suddenly running with lightning as all of the feathers stood up.

It looked like a lightning bird from a certain anime except its color was different. The lightning was black in color too as it suddenly hit one of the wolves below the hawk.

The lightning then started to move from one wolf to another and started a lightning chain. All of the wolves become ignited with the black lightning as they howled together.

< That lightning had combined with the tempest wolves and they are twice as strong as before. They can be considered high C ranked beasts right now. >

'Then the fight is not going to be easy.' Aiden replied as he closed his eyes and focused on the palm of his right hand.

He felt the elemental energy inside his body moving towards his palm. He focused on that energy as a few seconds later, he felt a cold metallic thing between his hands.

[ Lightbringer ]

This was the only way for Aiden to summon the sword but he knew how useful it would be in the upcoming battle.

The silver-haired woman also realized that the sword was emitting a dangerous aura but she decided to reveal her weapon too.

The hawk was no pushover and Artemis knew that she would have to take it head-on. However, she would have to work with Aiden in complete sync.

"You ready kid?" She asked while raising an eyebrow in the black-haired boy's direction as he nodded.

"You know, you are barely five years older than me." He pointed out as the beautiful woman smiled.

"And that is why you are a kid in my eyes." The duo then turned to look at the lightning-charged wolves and the black hawk.

"You clear the right and I will take care of the left. If that giant bird attacks you, I trust you to take the right decision." Artemis told the battle plan to Aiden as she closed her eyes and raised both of her hands forward.

The moon was shining on the battle clearly and some of the moonlight fell on her hands. And a few seconds later, a bow dropped in her hands. 

The bow was a sleek golden-colored bow with silver-colored outlines. It had a pattern of different phases of the moon drawn all around it in order.

'Inspection.'

[ ??? (Black rank) ]

Aiden's eyes widened when he read the rank of the bow. The bow was worth more than the entire continent or perhaps multiple continents.

And that was just because of the rank it had.

( A/N: Weapon ranks are: copper, silver, gold, ruby, diamond, and black. Black because it's the demons' favorite color. )

Black ranked weapons were weapons that only gods owned and there were only two such items on the demon realm.

One of them belonged to Drake while the second one belonged to the king of Astaroth. 

But in front of Aiden, Artemis was holding a bow with the same rank. The former however decided to put away the questions he had and focus on the battle.

'And this might be a black rank weapon too.' The black-haired boy looked at the weapon that Hestia had given him.

If only his inspection skill showed more information about the weapon. 

< Don't worry Aiden. The thing will change with future system updates. >

As soon as Sera, finished speaking, a system notification appeared in front of Aiden.

[ System exp full. System needs to be updated. ]

'And how are we supposed to update the system?' Aiden remembered that Sera had told her that it was Infini's job to do upgrades

But the goddess wasn't there so Aiden had no idea what would happen next. However, Sera had some good news.

< I will tell you about that after this battle. >

Aiden suddenly had newfound motivation as he learned that there was a way for him to upgrade his system.

Though he was sad that all the exp notifications he would now gain were useless. They would just get collected and his exp bar wouldn't move forward at all.

It would have been a fun thing to obtain all the exp and level further.

The hawk suddenly released another screech and the wolves howled together. The entire pack started moving at once as the duo took a deep breath.

"Let's go," Artemis said and the two of them dashed forward.

The silver-haired woman summoned her lightning and spread it out towards her entire body. This increased her entire speed in the way Will used his lightning.

Aiden used his shadows to move from one place to another and after he was in the range of using his sword, he used the flash skill.

All over the battlefield, all of the wolves howled at once. It was as though all of them were blinded.

"Unless…"

If all of the wolves were connected with the lightning, did all of them get affected by a single move?
