Chapter 185: Training in Twilight Forest part 4 (1/2)

Author: M_W Cancer

Hearing Leo's words, Ahmed and Brad can't help to turn their heads and looked at him dubiously. In their opinion, no normal person could ever easily kill a Magical Beast, that was the exact reason why the Eclipse village only has Mages and Magical Knights as warriors, and the normal people could only do the miscellaneous work.

In Eclipse village, there are three different classes of people. First, the Elders, the people who are on the top of the hierarchy. They are the wise ones who have a lot of experience and knowledge about a lot of different things. There are only two Elders in Eclipse village though, specifically Chief Lago and the leader of the Dragon Division. Second, the Mages and Magical Knights, the people who are second in hierarchy. They are the ones who, almost all of the time, fight against the Magical Beast. This also includes Ahmed, Brad, Jasmine, Piero, and many more who will participate in the coming of age competition next week. And lastly, the Workers, the people at the very bottom of the hierarchy. They are the people who will do the miscellaneous work for the Eclipse village.

”You don't believe me?” Leo said, ”Naturally, words wouldn't be enough to prove it, so how about we go out to the Twilight Forest and I'll show you what I meant.”

”Are you really serious? You are also a Mage, so you might add some kind of a Magic spell in your weapons or something similar!” Brad rolled his eyes in disbelief.

”Just observe the Mana around me, in such a way you will know whether I'm really using a Magic spell or not,” Leo said as he walked out of the hut along with Levi who is still sleeping on his shoulder.

”Sounds fair to me!” Ahmed replied as he stood up from his bed, ”What are you waiting for? Let's go!”

”Are you really sure about this...?” Brad said with obvious hesitation in his voice.

”If worse comes to worst, then let's just save him from danger.”

”Okay!”

.....

After a while, Leo and the others finally arrived somewhere located on the outskirts of Twilight Forest.

Observing around the place, Leo can't help but feel amazed about the beauty of the Twilight Forest.

Truth be told, this was actually the first time he had ventured into Twilight Forest. In the past, the only places he could go were Blacksmoke Canyon and Smoky Mountain nearby Blacksmoke city, the forest around Heart city, and Hundred Hills, specifically located in the Southern region of Silver Kingdom. Although the Twilight Forest was also located in the Southern region, he still didn't try venturing this place since it was labeled as a Danger Zone. Usually, it's only his two senior brothers who have tried going in this place. Despite expecting himself to also be able to come here one day, he didn't expect that it will be this soon. In his expectations, he would venture into this place when he's 20 years old or something more than that age.

In front of him was a really tall forest, with a lot of fireflies and some creatures giving light flying around the place. Although it was still in the early morning or mid-morning, the place was already dark. Maybe this is the reason why it was called the Twilight Forest.

Moreover, there were a lot of mushrooms and tall grasses everywhere. Also flowers and some plants that can live in such a habitat where the light of the sun could hardly reach.

Walking inside, Leo immediately saw some Magical Beast, though they swiftly run away the moment they sense their presence.

”Hey, what's wrong with the Magical Beast? Aren't they acting so weird?” Brad can't help but asked after he noticed the strange behavior of the Magical Beast that they have met along their way.

”It's because of that little one.” Ahmed pointed at the currently sleeping Levi, ”That's the exact reason why I was able to catch a lot of fishes. He scared them away towards my net.”

Hearing Ahmed's words, Leo quickly woke up Levi, ”Hey wake up!”

”Whattt~!” Levi replied with a mix of a yawn as he stretched his body.

”Can you not scare the Magical Beast away from us?” Leo requested.

”But what's wrong with that?” Levi asked while wearing innocent-looking eyes.

”We can't train,” Leo said as he shrugged his shoulders off.

Levi fly up as he said, ”Okayyy~!”

After doing that, Magical Beast finally started approaching them after a few meters of walking deeper inside Twilight Forest, specifically 15 Magical Beast.

There were five Sharp Teeth Rabbits, five Long Horn Deer, and five Stone Monkeys. Simply put, just some normal No Star Magical Beast.

Ahmed and Brad quickly took out their weapons, specifically a long sword for the former and a short sword for the latter, as they position themselves for battle.

”Look, we are now surrounded!” Levi acted helplessly, ”It's all your fault if we die here, Leo!”

Leo just simply smiled mischievously as he quickly took out a random dagger inside teacher Homer's Storage Ring. The storage Ring was still with him since he forgot to return it back to teacher Homer. He will just return this the moment he returns back to Silver Mage Academy.

”Just stay in defense and watch me fight!” Leo announced as he suddenly threw Ahmed and Brad some random shields he took out from the Storage Ring before he quickly dashes in front, specifically towards the five Stone Body Monkeys, since they were the most dangerous compare to the other two Magical Beast.

A Stone Monkey wasn't literally a monkey made out of stone. There are just a few parts of its body where it's covered with stone, specifically both feet and hand, and its chest and back.

Seeing Leo running towards them, the five Stone Monkeys replied with their own as they decided to meet him in the middle.
