This time Randy didn't use his bare hand to face the Elder Savage Jade Bear. He pulled the Darkness with his right hand, rushed toward the angry Elder Savage Jade Bear.

Elder Savage Jade Bear brandished its right paw to Randy. Despite had a great strength, Elder Savage Jade Bear's attack was slow in Randy's eyes.

Randy moved sideways, dodging the paw. The right paw missed and its attack landed on the ground.

Boom!

There was a small pit created by the paw. Of course, it was nothing for Randy, he didn't panic or falter by the great force behind the paw. He used the bear's right paw, going up to get closer to the bear's head.

Afterward, Randy slashed his sword toward the bear's neck before jumping back to the ground, dodging the incoming paw.

Aiming toward the neck, it was becoming habit after five months hunting. He always attacked the beast or monster's neck.

”Awooo!”

The bear let out another angry roar as it felt pain on its neck. There was a red line on its neck caused by Randy's sword.

Randy surprised as his attack only left a superficial wound on the bear's neck.

'It indeed has a tough skin, even with a Legendary grade sword and a half of my strength, I can only leave a superficial wound,'

This time the bear just stood still, staring at Randy with its brown eyes. After looking at Randy's speed, it knew Randy was dangerous. It didn't dare to act recklessly to charge at Randy like before.

”Heh, if you won't come, then I will,”

Randy rushed with his full speed which shocked the bear, it was faster than before. But the bear could still Randy's movement. It brandished left paw as it predicted Randy's movement.

Boom!

Another small pit created by the bear paw. But the pit was bigger than the previous pit, indicating the force behind the left paw was bigger than the previous attack. But still, the bear attack missed its target, Randy stopped before its left paw.

Afterward, it brandished its right paw to Randy. Again, its attack missed and only created another pit on the ground. But this time, it could not see where Randy was until it looked down.

Randy was right below its body and it felt a great pain on its right feet as Randy kicked its right feet.

Boom!

The enormous five meters bear fell caused by Randy's kick. What the last sight it saw was a human wore a black armor, raising a sword at its neck before darkness engulfing it.

Randy stood in the right before the headless enormous bear as its rolled on the ground. He thought he needed three to five slashes to sever the Elder Savage Jade Bear. But it was only a slash as the Darkness' effect triggered, Shatter Slash.

'Hmm, bear meat is good for the lunch and dinner,' Randy thought as he looked at the enormous bear in the front.

Afterward, he walked to the bear's carcass, dug its heart, and began processing the blood essence inside the heart into the special vial. After that, he stored the bear's carcass to his Storage System along with the special vial and advanced forward.

Battle System: You have entered the Bandung Territory!

Randy entered the territory which covered by a mist. The atmosphere was an eerie quiet, gloomy, cold wind was blowing, and the ground was damp.

Didn't know why but since he entered Bandung Territory, his heartbeat sped up. Also, since he entered the Bandung Territory, it was like being stared.

He looked the surrounding only could see a tree, there was nothing more.

'Is it camouflage beast?'

The camouflage beast in Bekasi Territory was nothing for him as the beast there was the low-level one, but if there was a camouflage beast here then it would be troublesome as he believed the beast and monster here was the high-level one.

Randy looked back, the bright and fresh of Purwakarta Territory.

'Shall I take a detour?'

Randy walked back to Purwakarta Territory, cool air was blowing, warm from sunlight, and also the most important was the feeling being stared was gone when he stepped in Purwakarta Territory.

He looked back at Bandung Territory, somehow he felt scared to enter Bandung Territory. He had seen a hideous monster and scared-looking monster, but he never felt scared of them, but this time…

But after some thought, Randy decided to advance to Bandung Territory. If he took a detour, it would take more time to reach the Ascension Chest's location.

Just as he wanted to enter Bandung Territory, he noticed the grass on Bandung Territory and Purwakarta was different in color. Even though both grasses had the same color green. But the grass in Purwakarta territory was bright green while the grass in Bandung Territory dark green.

But he didn't think much about it, Randy stepped in Bandung Territory. As he walked into deeper of Bandung Territory, Randy kept looking to the right and left. The feeling being stared was back, especially from his back.

The deeper he was the feeling being stared was becoming stronger. He afraid to look back, but after a long time, he decided to look back.

Randy turned his head back, there was nothing except the gloomy aura and the sparse mist. He let out a sigh of relief. Just as he wanted to continue venture deeper, he heard a creepy laugh right on his ears.

”Hihihihihi…”
