7 Acid Party (2/2)
”Hhhhhah.... I haven't felt so free in a while.”
Rainer headed towards the western woods, more commonly known as the Mist Woods because of the thick mist surrounding it all the seasons of the year, which made it harder for the men to exterminate those magical beasts.
Numerous Guardians from the Lorren Clan and foreigners have lost their lives in the depths of the woods because they underestimated it.
After two hours of walking, they both reached a small crystalline lake.
”Every one of us must have water to survive, sooner or later a beast will come to the lake to drink. We just need to be patient.”
Luck seemed to smile at our hunters as a few minutes later, an ape-like creature appeared from the bushes.
”...”
The ape had a black fur all over his body apart from his back which was glowing with a metallic grey hue.After securing the area, the ape proceeded to drink from the lake.
”It is a Silver Back Ape on the first stage of cultivation, its fur is robust especially on its back which is as hard as steel and its grip strength is the real business.
Rainer recalled the information he had gathered from the clan library about the beasts in the surrounding areas.
”It will be best to end him quickly with an attack on a vital point like the neck.”
Rainer thought of a plan and gave his orders to Lerna.
Now that he had opened his Astral Gate, Rainer was surprised to discover that he could send his thoughts to Lerna, which was something he had never heard about except for a few spiritual beasts oriented to the mind control.
After receiving his orders, Lerna sneaked towards the ape, but when she was a few feet away, the ape seemed to notice something weird going on,but it was too late.
Before he could turn around, a shadow rushed over his neck at high speed and pierced it with its ferocious fangs.
Rainer who was hiding behind a bush saw how some greenish fluid was leaking from the ape' s neck holes.The drops were falling onto the ground and steam was emitted from where they had fallen, showing high levels of damage.
The ape quickly tried to grab its attacker but the nimble serpent released its neck and crawled quickly out of the ape's range.
Attempting to hunt down its enemy, the ape noticed a heavy stinging in its neck, looking closely, the fur around the bitten area fell off and the flesh was warped.
”Aaaarg!”
The ape roared in pain as it rushed at Lerna, who did not expect such reaction from the ape.
*Peng Peng*
The ape kept swinging his arms around trying to inflict a fatal blow on Lerna.
Rainer, seeing that Lerna was in danger, came from his hiding place and alerted the ape, who pointed in his direction.
Its gaze of anger and suffering made Rainer freeze, it was like seeing his body from someone else's perspective, unable to move a single finger.
When the ape saw a new enemy, it picked up a large rock and threw it at the immobile Rainer.
”Boom”
Luckily,Rainer regained control over his body just in time to evade it.
”Hu... hu... hu... that was close, I thought I'd be killed...”
After standing up, Rainer finally realized that this wasn't a game!
The ape knew it was kill or be killed and that's how Rainer should take it too!
”Thank you for giving me a lesson...Lerna!
Communicating his plan to Rena, Rainer ran around the ape as he used his 'mimic' skill to throw acid out of the pores of his right hand.
”So my skill works like this, huh. It looks like magic....”
Lerna also threw her corrosive spit on the ape, who roared in sorrow after the continuous attacks.
....
*Pum*
A few minutes later, the ape's corpse fell to the ground, not even the powerful vitality of the Silver
Back Ape was able to withstand the barrage of corrosive projectiles, having perished in regret for not having been able to smash that shameless human who never once dared to approach it. A stream of tears could be seen flowing from his disfigured face.
”I think we've gone too far with those attacks, Lerna....”
Exhausted, Rainer threw himself to the ground resembling an angel, beside him, Lerna hissed as she surrounded Rainer's arm showing her worry about him.
”Let's grab that mane from his back, not even your corrosive effect was able to leave a scratch on it, it will be perfect for creating a light armor.
After a break, Rainer got up and proceeded to dismantling the Silverback Ape.
”This is exhausting, I think it would be better if we hurry up and get back to the clan before nightfall, it's already too late.”
After dismantling the ape's body, they both returned back the way they had come.
*Rustle Rustle*
”Oh, My Goodness! We are so screwed...”
A fierce looking jaw, teeth sharper than blades and reddish eyes like blood....
A Berserker Wolf!
