33 City of Ravens 19 (2/2)

When I reached the head, I transformed my arm into a spike and stabbed it through the back of its head!

When it exited on the other side, I the spike and with my hand still in his head started to create blades destroying the brain!

The giant body fell to the ground sending tremors in all directions. Standing atop the Leshy's head covered in its blood, breathing heavily and with my muscles lightly convulsing from exhaustion. The heat coming from the symbols disappeared and with it bloodlust.

It was the second time I felt this kind of bloodlust, but it had to be from adrenalin. I looked at the body of the giant that I just killed with my own hands.

It was something I wanted to do ever since I saw it for the first time. And now it was done! Next target is the Sky Panther, but before I do that… I need to take care of this body. The bark that the body is surrounded with is worth an astronomically high price!

I found a larger monster, with luckily was an Orthrus, killed it and used its skin to put the bark on it. After three hours of removing bark with my Soul Sword, I was done. Securing the whole thing with ropes, I made my way out of the hunting ground!

Tugging what about half a ton was a hellish exercise, but before dawn, I was able to get back to the city.

”… Leshy…”

”He killed that thing?!”

”Who is…”

Some people whispered, some didn't bother and talked loudly, but everywhere I went their eyes were focused on me. This place was the central hub of the hunting ground, and everyone was familiar with the monsters that could be killed there.

But it's not every day that you can see someone dragging half a ton of Leshy's bark by himself while looking like he spent a month in the wilderness.

”I really need to buy a car,” I said to myself. I was dead tired from dragging this thing up to this point. I found a place that bought all of the Leshy's bark for 200 thousand dollars! It sounded like a lot… but in reality, it was barely enough to buy a lowest grade enhanced item.

For now, at least I didn't have to worry about money. I had better things to do. One of which was taking all of the soul essence from the soul of the Leshy.

Using the same method, I extracted the soul essence and consumed it. Unlike before, just this one soul put me at the limit! To get to the 15'th cycle, I had to kill so many weaker monsters that it was mindboggling. But now I reached the limit so quickly.

For the next day, I only practiced control to the limit, but I didn't condense my soul. I knew I could kill a Sky Panther while I was on the 15'th cycle and this was what I wanted to accomplish!

After resting, I left for the hunting grounds again!
