Chapter 254 Region 3 III
"Spurt spurt spurt….." "Roarrrrrr!"
A large amount of blood started to spurt from the more than fifty wounds that I just made, even its immense vitality isn't able to stop a large amount of blood flowing out of its wounds.
First, there was no noticeable change in its movements and attacks but as the wounds started to build upon its body that started slow it down bit by bit to the point it became a wooden block for me which let me cut it as I please.
"Roar!"
I gave out loud roar and started to run from battle but how can I let it run away which I spent palate minutes injuring.
I upped my attacks even more especially on its legs so it would have a hard time running away while being careful of its desperate attack to take me down with it.
In the past year, I've burned by it many times and I usually vigilant about it. Be it human or monster, survival instincts kicks in when it is at its most desperate moments and sometimes they even able to unearth their hidden potential as last moment.
In the past year, I have seen it happen two times when I was fighting with the monsters. Both of times I was sure that I will kill the monster and kept attacking it too kill it but at their last moment when they were at their last moment they leveled up.
Of the two fights, one was very memorable that I don't think I will ever able to the forgot.
The monster I was fighting was that Spiral Hippo monster, It was Peak Corporal stage monster and that is also its limit as its Strain was only level 3 but when it's at its last leg about to be killed by me, it somehow broke the limit and level up.
It leveled up, breaking the limit of strain gave me huge confidence as that time I was going through my lowest period and was even questioning myself that I could even break the limit or not.
That moment gave me huge confidence and whenever I start to question myself, I remember that memory to remind myself that there is hope, tiny that may there is still hope and that will keep me going till I finally break the limit.
"Thud!" "Roar!"
It finally couldn't control itself and fell on to the ground giving off muffled roars, It is not dead yet, my attacks were able to weaken it after injuring it heavily. Now, that it fell, I can kill it in one fell swoop.Futurer!" furfur
I gripped my sword in both my hands and ignited two small fire jets behind both my respectively to give my sword enough power to penetrate the skull of the monster.
"Puch!"
My sword speedily went down and pierced its skull, whatever shine that left in it'sddisappearedas I remove my sword from its skull.
As monster gets stronger, killing them would also become difficult especially those the greater defense. I can injure them heavily but to kill them, I have to work very hard.
Sometimes my skill even became useless, especially toward some mid and most Sergent level monster as those firebolts are not strong enough pierce through their defense.
If this Bear monster had been Peak Corporal grade, I would have to continue injuring it for more than an hour before It could die due to heavy injuries.
I took out its core and some meat which will I cook for dinner in the evening.
"Come out! I know you are hiding there." I shouted loudly, earlier when I was fighting the monster, I felt unfriendly gaze on my back which made me highly vigilant and I decided to end the fight quickly with the Monster.
My shout went empty as no one comes out, others would think I sensed wrong as except for snow there is nothing else but I am sure there are some people hiding there.
I have developed a very keen sense toward danger fighting the very dangerous monster and I sense when someone is looking at me from the short distance.
"Since you not coming out, then I can only do this!" I said and a fire started to swirl around my palm and next moment a silver fireball had materialized in my palm.
"Friend there is no need to get angry." Said a boy as three people appear out of the snow suddenly. Their leader seemed thin boy wearing a light orange training suit.
Of the three people, his stage is highest as he is at Mid-level of Corporal stage while othe the two is at the initial level of Corporal stage.
"We were just hiding there from the monster that you had just fought!" he said as he walks toward me.
The three of them didn't seem to know each other as they maintained little unconscious distance between them and I also noticed their practice suits are plain devoid of any type of logo that means they are free adventurers, not members of the the the organization.
"Then why are keep hiding even after I called you?" I asked, hearing my question an expression of anger appeared three of their faces but they quickly hid it.
They must have felt very angry by my question seeing there is a difference of stage between us but despite that, he had to swallow his anger seeing he is no match for me otherwise he would have to hide from the monster that I'd just killed.
"We didn't want to give the wrong expression." He said but when he saw the frown on my face, he decided to explain himself.
"You were fighting that Monster bear while we are here hiding doing nothing, we didn't feel comfortable in coming out you called!" he explained apologetically.
What he really wants to say is, they didn't feel the comfortable appearing in front of me because they felt little scared that I might do something to them.
Space realm is one the best realm to set up banditry, many people come here just with the sole purpose of robbing people.
Robbing the others people wealth is much easier than the finding himself, in that way not only they could rob the wealth of the other, they even rob the artifact they wearing which worth very much if they are Knight grade.
Some ruthless bandit even kills people after robbing them, quite so many people died in hands of these bandits whenever a public space realm is open, so these three people apprehension about me is understandable.
I asked them some more question and got the answer which I had expected, these three people like me transported to the hill like me, It was a good thing they team up right after meeting to survive against any monster that attacked them.
Not long after they come across Monster Bear that I had just killed and barely able to get away from it, only when the Monster Bear about to find them, I come across and Monster bear found new target for its hunt, it is the mistake it made which it paid with its life.
I let them go after they answer my questions as I also have to hurry to find the good spot for setting up camp as evening is around the hour and looking at weather which is started to take a little drastic turn, there are chances of heavy snowfall.
