Chapter 20 - Monster Hunt (II) (2/2)

The one-horned wolf released the huge fireball which advanced towards the incoming Shad at an astonishing speed, without any delay, Shad released his mana shield that encompassed his whole body.

The fireball collided against the mana shield and was blown away. At the same time, Shad was pushed a few steps back by the attack and his knife fell on the ground. Seeing that his attack was blocked by the human, the one-horned wolf was not the least bit discouraged as it was preparing his next attack, Fire Blade.

Taking advantage of the one-horned wolf releasing his second innate spell, In a flash, Shad arrived at the side of the one-horned wolf.

After channeling the lightning element within every fiber and nerve of his body, Shad's speed had double, or even triple.

He quickly lowered his body and swept the legs of the one-horned wolf with his right leg. Suddenly, the one-horned wolf was knocked to the ground by his kick before it even had time to get up , it was blown away by another kick in his stomach.

The one-horned wolf hit one of the big trees before it fell down as its mouth howled a cry of pain and anger.

The wolf now enraged stood up unsteadily and looked for Shad to take its revenge but couldn't find a trace of him. At that time, suddenly it heard the voice of Shad in its ear.

” Looking for me.” Shad's figure suddenly appeared in front of the wolf.

Chi~~chi~~

Before the one-horned wolf could even have time to release his second innate spell. Shad's hand transformed into a Lightning blade which he buried deep within the wolf's stomach.

The one-horned wolf released shrill howl as his internal organs were being fried by the remnants of Lightning that invaded his body. he was looking at Shad with a deep hatred and anger in its eyes. After a few seconds, the One-Horned wolf took his last breadth.

After Killing the one-horned wolf, Shad split open its head and took out small transparent crystal within it that was filled with worldly energy.

The Agate Crystal was the source of energy for all magical beast, and without it, no magical beast could survive. the Agate crystal could be used by many mages for cultivation, power an airship ,blacksmiths, alchemists and even pharmacist could use it to refine few precious medicines etc.

” Even though my physical strength and speed are on par with a peek 5th class warrior while channeling the lightning element within my body as a booster however, I felt like I have been run over by a truck after using it because my body is aching all over.”

” I need to train and refine my body more in order for it to handle the boundless energy of the lightning. Not only that, I get hungry easily now because of it I felt like a fat pig as I eat a lot now.”

After Shad had killed the one-horned wolf, he was examining his body, while channeling the lightning in every nerve of his body make him faster and stronger, it also takes a huge toll on his body as well. it was as though his body was not strong enough to handle the energy.

Except for that, every time he uses the lightning energy like that, he felt like a tiny part of his soul was absorbed by the purple lightning within the infinite space or his mana pool he still doesn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

According to his analysis, it might come a day where he becomes pure energy itself after the purple lightning completely sucked up or absorbed his soul. Well, it was still a hypothesis, nothing concrete.

Shad that was lost in thought and thinking about the changes in his body caused the purple lightning, suddenly felt all the hairs on his body stand erect.. he felt as though the shadow of death was looming over him.

'Danger.' He quickly thought before he dodged to the side.

~~~Whooosh~~

A high-speed arrow past him like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the nearby huge trees, leaving behind a gaping hole as it flew another few dozen meters before halting.

Shad quickly flattened himself against the grass as he slowly looked behind him.
