Chapter 258 The Reaper (1/2)

After killing  Anatase Lizard, I started to go deeper into the forest, to search for the corporal stage monster.

On the way, I've come across some monsters and despite my best attempts of being sneaky, I got noticed by few monsters to which I had to fight but It was not the bad thing, fighting them help me a lot easing the anxiety I am feeling.

Sergeant stage monsters of this realm going to powerful, I hope they will able to provide me that spark which will help me level up as god knows how much I've tried for this, there have been many instances that I had nearly died.

I just want this limit to break, I deserve it since I had put up so much hard work.

”Thanks, Ashlyn!” I said to Ashlyn as she dropped off the fruit in my hands before flying away quickly.

As we entered this forest, she had picked up her old habit of picking up herbs and fruits which she liked, till now she had only brought up the fruits but I believe she will soon bring some herb as long as it catches her eyes.

Soon I reached the place where Sergeant stage monster roams, now I just have to find a powerful Initial level Sergeant stage monster fight.

As I was searching for the Sergeant stage monster, I heard the faint fighting sound, feeling curies I decided to check it since this is the first fighting sound I've heard since coming to this area.

I sneakily started to walk toward the sound but when I got close enough and saw what is happening, I got little startled.

There is Peak Corporal stage girl seemed to fight be fighting Peak Sergeant stage monster and the fight is going on, the girl did not seem at disadvantage at all but that's not what startled me, what startled me is that the monsters she is fighting are Bipedal monster.

Like the previous realm I went, it was contaminated by foreign energy which made a monster of that realm aggressive and mutates into bipedal monsters.

This realm also contaminated by that foreign energy but on many levels in the lower regions, that is why I spotted very few bipedal monsters in the forest and all of them at Specialist stage.

The monster that girl is fighting the only Bipedal monster I've seen in this forest which is not at Specialist stage.

I watched the fight for a few minutes before walking away, thinking I have my own monster to fight.

I search for the monster for an hour more but no fruit come out of it, I saw many monsters but they were either at mid or peak level of the specialist stage.

”Chew chew!”

Just when I was thinking the whole day would go without any result, Ashlyn came chirping.

”There is a monster really?” I asked reading her emotions, ”Chew chew!” she affirmed and started to fly toward the direction where she spotted the monster and I followed behind her excitedly.

Soon we came across the clearing where the monster is and startingly it is a bipedal monster which looked like Iron Rhinos.

Iron Rhinos are Level 3 strain monsters but this Rhino monster is clearly at Initial level of sergeant stage and the color of its skin darker than normal Iron Rhinos.

Well, its difference is nothing to do with me, the important thing is I finally found an opponent to fight, a bipedal one at that.

”Crunch crunch….!”

I walk toward the iron rhino while intentionally making the sound of crunching left by my feet, so, the monster would notice.

”Roar!”

It worked like a charm, as soon as it heard the crunching sound of my feet made, It came running toward me with its fist out.

I didn't back down either seeing that as I also activated my Strenthning skill and ignited three jets behind feet directly and run toward the Iron Rhino.

”Claaaank!” ”Fuck!” ”Puh!”

I ran toward the Iron Rhino with strengthening skill activated and three jets ignited under my feet and when I got close enough, I executed my plan which suddenly moves away from monster and ignites jets behind my arms to launch attack on the back of the monster but my plan utterly failed as this Iron Rhino was way faster than I had imagined.

It hit me before I could even launch an attack at it, its fist hit me like a sledgehammer, injuring me so heavily that had to vomit a large amount of blood before flying away like a cannonball.

It was a good thing at last moment, I used my sword as defense as its fist clashed against my sword, If that fist had crashed against my body, then I would have been in a lot worse condition than I am now.

”Thud thud!” I stabilized myself in mid-air and controlled my fall expertly, I didn't waste a single moment before sucking away some liquid from the white pipe under my sleeve.

I sucked on white pipe only when it is an emergency as It contains the Life potion which not only replenishes mana but also heals the injuries very quickly.

Fourteen months ago, I had a quite large supply of the Life potions but when I started crazily pursuing the level up, I had used up all my reserve in one and half month and had bought the potions from Jim at discount price.

Not only I brought life potions from Jim at discount price, but I also brought from the store as the number of potions which Jim could provide to me is not enough but every time I brought the life potion from the store my heart burns a little as every bottle of life potion cost hundred thousand credits.

That is why I used Life potions sparingly and Only drink it when I really have a need for it, like now.

The cool sensation of life potion spread through my body, healing the injuries whenever it passed through.

I would like if I had a few more seconds of rest but unfortunately I did not as Iron Rhino is coming at me with a very ferocious expression.
