Chapter 4: Hunting 2

Tang. Tang...

With beginner stage swordsmanship it didn't take too long for me to gain the basics of using a sword.

I trained continuously to hone my skills. I found that my posture holding a sword before was absurd.

A good posture and stance would not only increase the strength you put in the sword, but it also allows you to attack the desired place which I was missing while killing the rabbit.

After staying in the forest for 3 and half days, I killed many small fries and accumulated 210 exp points.

And today I am finally facing my first G ranked beast, the asura bear. It is named asura due to its violent nature.

Fortunately for me, it's in the early stages and has not matured. A full-grown asura bear grows up to 3m tall and its rank varies from E to D rank.

Instead of running forward like the previous fights, I took my stance with eyes on the bear looking for the slightest movement of the bear.

"Roar... Roar"

Roaring at top of its voice, it waved its paw towards me.

Tang.

I used my sword to block the paw. It threw another paw towards me. Freeing the sword I bent down on the knees and kicked its chest jumping backwards.

The kick broke two of its ribs. Growling in pain it tried to increase the distance.

To stop its movement, I threw the dagger at its legs which struck on its right thigh.

The sudden wound in the thigh caught it in surprise and it lost its balance.

In a matter of seconds, I covered the distance and appeared in front swinging the sword with all its might.

Slash`~

A head rolls down on the ground.

[You have gained 2000 experience]

"Ooooo. Jackpot." I mumbled.

Finally, I can use the shop. But before that, I should get out of the forest.

I have achieved my goals. I shouldn't wander here anymore and should go back to the city. I can check the shop in a quiet place.

I search for the core but to no avail after all it's very rare to find a core.

Clicking on the button, the tent took the shape of the ball. I placed the ball in my backpack.

In this hunting, I didn't need to use potion as I got just a few scratches that can be healed easily by the lotions in the health kits.

Tidying up my things, I walked towards the city.

One my way I smelled something.

Sniff. Sniff.

Midway on my road, a rotten scent assaulted my nose. Although I have become used to blood still it is too much for me to handle.

I scouted my surroundings, looking for the source of the smell.

After walking around, I found a trail of blood that looked to be of human.

Hesitating for a second I pondered whether I should probe into it or should mind my business.

Shaking my head, I decided to follow the trail which lead to bushes. I moved slowly clearing the bushes embracing my heart for the worst.

"Shit." There was a disfigured corpse lying behind the bush. My heart started beating frantically seeing the condition of the corpse.

" It's must be the work of some beast."

I should get out of here before it's late. For extra safety, I decided to send an emergency signal through the phone.

In this era, the danger of beast, monster, demon are always around. For the safety of citizens, an emergency centre has been established in every city activating which give your current location to the public safety team of the nobles and city.

Sending the signal I started running towards the city.

Howl.

"Damn." I cursed

The worst thing that could happen, the beast seemed to be nearby waiting for the prey.

Without heeding the sound, I kept on running in my tracks without looking back.

Dash...Dash... Dash...

With a large arc in the air, a shadow passed above my head landing right in front of me.

A Brownwolf stood in front with a frightening gaze wanting to tear me down.

Sweat started trickling down from my forehead as I run my mind in full throttle, to think of any means possible to escape.

The Brownwolf was a D ranked wolf while me being a 1-star warrior with a combat strength of a G ranked, doesn't pose any harm to it.

It has thick fur skin with a long bushy tail and its canines were long and sharp pointing downwards.

"I have sent the signal. The rescue team should be on the way."

Escaping from it's is impossible, the best I can do is to stall the time.

I took the stance with a resolute look that urge a very strong will to survive.

With a frightening speed leaving behind afterimages it appeared before me, opening its mouth trying to tear me with its fangs.

I reacted barely with my sword trying my best to defend.

Clang.

With its strong sturdy jaw, it bite the sword and swung its head throwing me to the side.

The force of the throw was enough to make me comatose.

Boom...Crack

I crashed into a tree on the side with a bang. I could feel something inside me cracking.

I tried to get up but my legs didn't listen to me.

The fear in my heart started to rise with my heart beating frantically as if wants to come out of my body.

The brown wolf seeing me like an ant instead of rushing towards me, walked slowly towards me with brown eyes on me seeing me as of today's meal.

I tried looking for my dagger with my right hand, but an outburst of pain knocked me as my right hand has be dislocated while my legs are fractured.

"Why am I so much unlucky? "

Is the world telling me not to overestimate myself? Seeing no way out I finally lost my composure which I have hardly built in this world.

'This must be the world warning me that extra can only be extra. You should just stay shut and went to the horizon instead of getting your hands in something troublesome.'

All types of useless thoughts came into his mind just like people go mad on facing death.

Yes, this must be the reason.

All kinds of negative thoughts started running through my mind.

I have died once but this time I will not die uselessly.

Strengthening my resolve, I held the dagger at my left hand deciding to slash in the mouth, the moment it tried to bite me.

Growl... Growl.

The wolf ran towards me wanting to give a final blow.

Grinding my teeth, I wrapped my fingers tightly around the dagger preparing myself for the impact.

Just it was trying to pounce on me it disappeared in thin air but instead of appearing before me, a loud blast sound rang in my ear.

Turning my head to the left I found the wolf being pinned to a large rock with a spear making a hole on its chest sticking it to rock.

I started looking for the user of the spear.

Suddenly hot hair reached my ear, turning my head I found a man squatting beside me scanning me with sparkling eyes.

"Aaaaaahhhh"

The sudden appearance scared me to its core.

"Who are you."I blurted out of my instincts.

" Tsk. The young man nowadays doesn't know respect. Instead of thanking your saviour, you are questioning my identity."The man spoke

"The world is going astray."

The word the man spoke gave me a mental shock.

His tone was an annoying one. Just as I was about to open my mouth.

Another voice came from behind the way with more than five people rushing toward us on the horses.

" Captain stop fooling around. Can't you see his condition? First, give him some treatment. "

The man jumped down from the horse and walked towards raising his hand to give a potion.

'The man was casually throwing potions around like it was nothing. Just how rich he is.'He muttered inwardly.

I took the potions without any thought and gulped them down. The potion was too bitter but I was in no condition to mind the taste

Due to the adrenaline rush even if I was in a broken state I was not feeling much pain.

" Hello. My name is Henery and he is captain Derrick. I am Vice-Captain of squad belonging to Viscount Langes."

Shaking his hand I replied, "I am Lucas Bright who is going to become a student of horizon academy".

"Nice to meet you all and thanks for saving my life, "I said bowing my head down.

A frown appeared on their faces on hearing my reply.

'Did I say something wrong why are they looking at me with a questioning gaze?'

Sensing my thoughts the man replied " Don't misunderstand, we are just thinking today is Sunday and the academy is opening tomorrow "

"So why are you here in the mist city instead of being in the capital."He asked.

" Oh! that.." I scratched my head and started to explain.
