Chapter 108: The beautiful world of survival (2/2)

He couldn't slack off! The prize for this competition was very important to him. One of the ingredients to create the medicine. And a lot of money. Fufu, not just that. He could also get a rank 7 Artefact! He really wanted to own an Artefact.

Not only that, he perceived some life forms around 100 meters radius around him.

Based on what he perceived, it must be some kind of beasts.

Good!

The most important thing to do in survival like this is to gather enough food first.

He immediately leaped on his feet. Then jumped on the tree branch and took a piece of the branch.

About a 1.2-meter branch that is as big as two fingers.

Yman summoned the crimson mana and enveloped the tree branch, to harden and strengthen it.

He closed his eyes, appearing in his perception about 5 monsters. Based on their auras, one rank B, two rank C, and two rank F, the lowest.

He didn't perceive human presence from his vicinity. Each of them was probably sent at a good distance from each.

He strapped the 1.2-meter branch on his waist.

Then,

Plak! He took another three branches of about 12 inches long each.

One by one, he fixed them on the gap of his fingers on his left hand and formed like a claw.

He stared at them and thought that these branches weren't good weapons as the tip was not pointed yet.

Flame! He whispered and flicked his fingers at the same time.

The tip of his right index finger had exuded a slight flame like a lighter, he then burned the tip of each of the branches.

This magic of creating a small amount of flame was a part of basic magic which was taught in the academy by the elders. Everyone could learn it in a day, but Yman who had no mana at that time failed miserably and became the laughing stock again from others.

He could only feel jealous while watching them succeed in creating flame.

Good thing that the crimson mana had the affinity of fire. Now he could create a flame.

He burned the tips of the three small branches.

Before the tip completely turned charcoal, he waves his hand to turn off the flame.

Then he scraped them at the tree trunks to sharpen the tips.

After sharpening them. Yman smiled under his hood.

Now the hunt will begin! He muttered.

Sistela remained quiet as she needed to concentrate and appraise what she needed to appraise, and also she needed to concentrate and monitor the demon's mana as it was overpowering her which wasn't good to their resonance if it fully dominated her system.

From the single tree in the middle of the wheatfield, a silhouette jumped higher and threw one branch covered with crimson aura.

Fwoosh!

The branch traveled the space towards the tall grass.

GAaarrrr!

A moment after he threw it, it was followed by a grieving howl.

Though, he noticed it was still alive.

Dang, my marksmanship is still awful in the distance of 50 meters away even after my power ups. He muttered in regret.

He was off a hairsbreadth to directly kill the beast.

After this, he would be back to training his basic attributes again, especially his dexterity.

Currently, he was level 3 and his CE was at 55%. He needed to accumulate more experience to advance his level. Or else he could not execute the full potential of the strength he was holding.

He followed another throw to his left while executing an [Air Dance] to slightly maneuver his body even in midair for a couple of seconds. But it wasn't the same when he used the [Skill Modifier] of Black Miasma, which he could combine the [Rapid Leap] and [Air Dance] to create a new ability which he called [Air Maneuver].

Without wasting time, he followed another throw to his right.

Two consecutive cries followed after.

But before his body descended, a large silhouette jumped from the grasses with a large gaping mouth to bite him.

Yman's eyes glinted.

Plak!

The next second the beasts were sent crashing on the ground when its mouth was hit by something.

It was a sudden downward strike using the 1.2-meter tree branch, strengthened and hardened using the crimson mana.

His feet landed about five steps away from the monster with two horns protruding at the side of its face. And two gaping fangs coming out from its mouth. It has jet black furs and stood on its four limbs.

Well, the most striking feature of it was that it was identical to wild pigs.

He heard Sistela's voice. It then followed by the appearance of its red bar above its head. And the number 1900/5000 HP was visible inside the red health bar.

”What a feast! Hehe,” he grinned, then used [Rapid Leap].

Plak!

The Giant Mutated Boar failed to retaliate as it was hit squarely in the weak spot.

After killing the boar, Yman also finished the other beasts.

Before his fight with beasts, in the real world, viewed on their monitors the different battles that are happening at the moment. Especially the battle between the participants.

However, one participant was caught in the camera, lying under the tree in the middle of a grassland.

”Eh? What is he doing?” Ella asked.

”Haha, that guard of yours is a very interesting person, Rea honey,” giggled the empress beside her.

”H-He's not my guard yet, Your Majesty— I-I mean Aunt.”

”Why is that? He just saved you,” the empress said while eyeing her.

”Uh, erm…” Ella was at a loss of words on how to explain their deal.

Currently, they were watching it inside the palace balcony.

Yman was caught in the camera for a moment only. And it was transferred to the beautiful views of the world. Then it was followed by a fight scene from other participants.

Everyone cheered whenever the camera darted to the experts of great noble families from the empire.
