Versatile: Alternate World

Calming sea waves crash into the rocks in the seashore as monsters slowly emerge one by one from the waters. It was like an invasion of pretty much all bosses that are living in the water. From time to time, there are also the flying bosses emerging from the water but most of the time, they are all monsters that walk on land and can either survive the land.

The monsters are repeatedly appearing but there is quite a lot of variety so it wasn't the same monster over and over again. As time goes by, the monsters get tougher and tougher to the point where killing the first monster boss I killed after descending here, the Corrupted Crab took a bit longer to kill completely.

It's been 3 hours since I started killing my way on the monsters. I utilized different approach here and there to efficiently kill the monsters. Since it's not that hard at first, I continue to just kill and kill with my weapons. And like I said, this boss rush gets harder as it progress a lot longer.

Cutting off one of the floating jellyfish's tentacles, I jumped into the nearest corpse of a monster, used it as a platform to jump on and pierced the Jellyfish's body, destroying the core and its entire body in one go.

And the second wave finally ended.

I sighed as I was covered in multiple blood of multiple variety of monsters. I have 3 minutes worth of rest before the next wave comes in. I managed to hit level 180 after I finished the second wave and considering the 3 hour time to fight to reach that level is already too much. Anyone would call me too dedicated and too hardcore for this battle but this I am not being hardcore, I just wanted to reach back my previous potential in the past timeline.

Anyways, instead of resting, I started collecting the elemental crystals and other drops that are scattered on the seashore after the bodies of the monsters disintegrated. It's sad that they don't remain as I can just go and butcher their dead bodies but since I can't do so, my only thing needed to be done is pick up the elemental shards. I didn't bother to check them out whether they are bad or not because even if it was bad, it can still be used so whatever, I can just choose what to use later on and be done with it.

"Master, I think you need to rest instead of collecting these crystals. A good rest will help you a lot longer. You are not a superhuman with infinite endurance and you don't have the traits of other species have. A good and proper rest will increase your capability to last longer in this," Atlas suggested.

"Don't worry, Atlas. I know what I am doing and I don't want to waste the chances to take these stuff. These will help a lot later on and will be beneficial to everyone of us including you guys."

As I collected every single one crystal, the time allotted for resting is now over and the next wave of the monsters started to rise up from the sea. Seeing that the monsters coming out are now fully armored, like the very first monster that came up is a turtle that walks in two legs. No, this was not a ninja turtle or anything close. They still looked like normal turtle but they walk like a hulking men with shields attached to their body.

"Master, am I seeing things? Is that really a turtle?" Lucia asked with a tone of disbelief. Anyone who have seen the Upright Turtle for the first time, it is a natural reaction that they would be surprised as even I in the past timeline also got surprised to see this guy walk.

But seeing this guy means the next wave will also consist of monsters with full armor on their body. Not just this guy. However, I would just cheese these guys out. Pulling out one of the recent items I bought, I slowly approached the Upright Turtle walking alongside the muscular Fish men with scales as hard as metal in their bodies.

Now this is where this new thing I bought back in the market of the City of Clouds will make a difference. Pulling the pin, I roll the little bomb into the sand to the direction of the Upright Turtle and the other monsters marching before running away as far as I can from them.

"Master, why are you running? Why are you running away?" Lucia was confused.

"Because a blender party is about to begin."

And before I can get a bit far, the force of the explosion immediately stopped me from my tracks as the bomb that I have thrown to the sand activated. Instead of a big explosion with flames, it looked like a swirling wind is sucking in everything around its vicinity. The sounds of monsters being dragged on it are also starting to scream and as that was happening, the log started updating on what is happening.

-You have killed Armored Fishman. You have received...

-You have killed Warrior Armored Fishman. You have received...

-...

Different logs of monsters being defeated starts to increase as the swirling power slowly gets heavier and heavier that even I on the distance felt the pressure built up. Soon enough, the pressure disappeared and squelching sounds started to fall to the sand as the bomb finished "exploding."

Returning to the sight, all I see is the the carnage done after the "explosion" where all of the marching monsters just now were blended finely that every part of their bodies have been reduced to pieces and their guts and blood turned into juice mixture. As for the hard stuff, they are gone. Reduced to atoms.

I chuckled as I grip the next Anti-Material Bomb. Yes, the main reason this bomb was being popular and always sold out is due to the fact that it can kill an armored monster in one "explosion." There are some exceptions but not all are survivors and they will die one way or another, making the battle in waves against monsters here just gets real easy.

The way I used the bomb just now was a really wasteful thing as this bomb is more better used on multiple enemies that gathered in one place. Sure the monsters have gathered with them but that was not enough number. The size of the "explosion" is not small enough to just kill a little bit of them in just a few bombs.

New monsters started appearing and just like what I expected, the monsters appearing are all fully armored. And the Anti-Material Bomb just works that way and when I say it cheeses out this battle by just throwing a few grenades from time to time against armored enemies then your battle will be much smoother.

Instead of throwing the bomb to the monsters, I started to rush to the monsters and purposely provoked them.

"This is suicidal, Master! You are provoking them all to chase you!" Atlas shouted to me like he was ready to jump off the portal and help me out. But because I don't want to receive help at the moment, he just had to obey my orders and can only watch on the sidelines."

"This is how you crowd-control these motherf*ckers out! You guys don't need to worry too much."

I continue to trigger and provoke them causing them to gather behind my back. Now that they have started to gather up, I pulled the pin of the Anti-Material bomb and throw it behind me and speed up my running speed and started to bolt out running like my life depended on it.

WOOOOOOM!

The weird sound that rings in my ears is the indication the bomb has already "exploded" and is now doing its work. The sound of monsters being dragged into the bomb's "explosion" caused every single monsters cry in anguish while some are running away desperately but due to the force of the explosion, as long the monster is just on the range of the explosion, they will be dragged on it without forgiveness and would not select anyone.

I also started running away as I didn't want to be spilled with blood and guts of different monsters. Who would be insane enough to like being under a blender where monsters are grinded to pieces? Well, not me as that's just disgusting. It was like you are taking a bath by using the gills and intestines plus the water and blood that was included would just make it a lot more worse.

A few seconds later, I can hear the flesh dropping after the "explosion". And as that did, I also hit the level 181 as the 3rd wave ended. I grinned. This is how you grind your levels. And that is to grind up your enemies to pieces.
