13 Hunting ground

Ethan was wandering in hunting ground. When they both enter in hunting ground Anna said to Ethan "you go find some beasts to kill, you are staying until I came back. Good luck in staying alive"

Before Ethan said anything Anna was out of his sight instantly. Ethan asked Lucas about Anna's ability and Lucas answer that she becomes fast when she uses her ability.

So, Ethan wasn't surprised when she has gone out of his sight suddenly. But, he was confused why even bother to come with him when she is going to leave him alone?

Ethan was wandering around when three black hounds came attacking Ethan. Black hound is black in color and are very skinny with sharp teeth. They always attack their prey in groups. Three black hounds are considered low in numbers.

Ethan did not think much and start killing them, he easily kill them. When Ethan killed the last one four more black hounds came and start attacking. Ethan quickly dealt with them. Ethan did not catch his breath when five more hounds came.

After wave and wave their numbers increased. Right now Ethan all focus was on these beasts. When he kills the last black hound, there bodies' were all over the ground. Ethan was exhausted not physically, but mentally even a second lost of focus can be end up him having a fatal wound.

After killing it Ethan didn't dare to stay there for a second and start running toward a safe place.

Not too far Anna was sitting cross leg in her mind Ethan was running away. When she opens her eyes, her left eye pupil was red in color. She mumbles "it looked like he reached his limit. Well, it's only first day."

Then she removed a lens from her eye. The lens was a relic its name is god's eye it can help to see bird view to a certain limit.

The waves of black hounds were also works of Anna. She used a relic that enrages beasts and start attacking Ethan. This relic is a little unique it need certain amount blood of target to activate and Anna got more than enough blood of Ethan.

That night Ethan rested in the cave that he used when he first time. That night Anna did not come at all. On the second day Ethan was hunting a bronze skin monkey when two more bronze skin monkeys came and start attacking Ethan. Ethan dealt with them with a little difficulty because these monkeys like to jump too much.

Ethan was confused these monkeys never hunt in groups, but he encounters three of these. He was about to leave the place when he heard the roar of bronze skin monkey. When he turned around, his face changed five bronze skin monkeys was coming toward him with red eyes.

And again, Ethan starts his battle again. He was a little hurt but he was able to kill all bronze skin monkeys and left that place.

After a while he relaxed his tense muscles when he saw no beasts were around. He was about to release a sigh of relief when four black hounds came attacking him. He did not able to kill all black hounds when another group of black hound came attacking there were some angry boar in this group.

Ethan this time able to found what was the problem. 'It's Anna she sends these beasts to me by some unknown means.'

When Ethan thought about it, he couldn't help smiling a little 'so, this is my training now. Okay, bring it on.'

Unlike Anna's shots that he knows that Anna will not kill him, he can be a little relaxes. But these beasts will not show any mercy when he made a single mistake these beasts will tear him apart in seconds.

And he didn't think that Anna will help him. And he was right Anna only send group of beasts that she thinks Ethan able to kill them and she will not help him. If he were on brink of death, then she might help him out.

On third day Anna was searching beasts to attract them when she saw a group shadow wolves attacking a boy with silver hair. The boy was covered in blood, but he was still trying to escape from these shadow wolves. Shadow wolves are known to sneak attack and when they are in a group their sneak attack are more troublesome.

When Anna sees a group of shadow wolfs she was happy. These beasts were really difficult to spot a single one of them and here are a whole group of shadow wolves.

Skylar was having a hard time dealing with these shadow wolves he did not think when he came here alone, he will be bumped in these troublesome beasts and group on top of that.

He was regarding his decision to come alone. Even when his senior told him not comes here alone, but he arrogantly came here. Now he is going to die here in the hand of these lowly creatures.

He lost all his hope when a girl with black hairs that was tied in a pony and green eyes came to his site. She was walking toward him with a strange shaped gun in her head. When their eyes met, the girl smiled slightly.

She fires the gun and attack on shadow wolfs her all shots were accurately hit on shadow wolves heads. The shadow wolf whose head was shot shook their head and start running toward certain person and that certain person will have a headache while dealing with this group of beasts.

When the last shadow wolf run off somewhere Skylar finally able to relax a little. When he saw that the girl was about to leave, he hurriedly stop her. "Thank you for helping me. I will remember this favor of yours."

"Don't remember this favor; I did not intend to save you." Anna sat while her left eye shine brightly in red color."

"Um…" Skylar was at lost he was never put in this kind of position "can I know your name?"

"Anna" Anna answered him before leaving him.

"Anna, what a beautiful name." Skylar said as he watched Anna going out of his sight.

Skylar's cheeks were a little red.

Somewhere in hunting ground.

"Amy where they are, we are walking for an hour now" David said with impatience.

"We are about to reach there don't worry, you will be able to see him soon" Amy said as she fiddle with a relic. This relic was a tracking device that uses to find beasts or human. It was very popular relic here in champ because it's cheap and give great help in finding some beasts that are troublesome to find.

After they walked for a while they came toward a cliff. Beneath the cliff there was swamp in which different type of beasts reside. All of these beasts are ferrous here.

No one ever comes back alive after falling in this swamp. It was a forbidden place for people here.

David stands at the edge of the cliff and looked around when he did not find anyone he turn around and ask Amy who was standing behind him. "Where is that boy did he fall in the swamp. Task if that's the case I will not able to take my revenge." He didn't suspect anything.

In response to his question he got a gentle push from Amy. David lost his balance and fall back. He grabs the edge of the cliff.

He looked upward toward Amy and roared "AMY! What is meaning of this?"

Amy sat down on her leg and say in a low voice, "fool, you are not even able to comprehend now I am betraying you."

"What are you saying; you know that I love you. I even back stab my best friend for you. What are you talking" David said with an astonished look.

"Hahaha, but I never loved you. I betray Eli because I wanted power, but I was not at the original ranking and other doesn't trust me enough so I slowly made them to trust me. Now they trust me enough and I am also on the original ranking so you are going to die." Amy said with a sinister smile on her face.

"And don't worry, I will fulfill your last wish and take that boy in our faction he will be useful in future." Before David could response Amy take out a dagger and cut down David hand.

David screams in pain and looked at Amy with intense hatred in his eyes falling down. When he fell down in the swamp his scream dies absurdly.

Amy looked at swamp for some time before leaving with bloody dagger in her hand.
