7 The hunter

After finishing the potatoes, he only had to make a few more orders from the chefs and the work was over, it was time to return to the game.

He quickly came home, he saw that Evan was not there and he connected directly to Icaro Project, he could not waste time, if he did not finish the mission he would have big problems, anyway there was half a day, and with his resistance recovered to the top he had confidence in finishing with the damn training doll.

When he appeared, he went to take two swords, observed that they were resistant, and moved towards a random training doll. He concentrated and this time, he exerted more strength from the beginning, generating a stronger impulse, the characteristic breeze appeared again, some leaves that fell from the trees moved inside the current, but when they left the breeze, there were only small pieces of these. Kioh could not help smiling, had just discovered a side effect, the breeze that moved between the two swords, also cut, although his power was not a tenth of the cuts, still it was quite interesting. The more resources you have in your hand, the greater the chance of surviving in a life or death situation.

Slowly the time passed until a characteristic sound sounded throughout the training room, it was the sound of the split wood, there was a less training doll, although it would not be long before it reappeared ... Kioh sighed, he knew that with his technique and his recovered stamina was not difficult.

The old soldier approached Kioh, and could not give him a thumbs up, this young man had been polishing his basic movements for 3 days, he remembered his training times, and the nostalgia made him emotional. "Young, well done, this is how youth should be these days, let me give you a memory of my training times, at that time we trained much more than now, therefore we used some different swords ... Join me at that other store. "

Kioh nodded, he was happy to take a load off, so it did not bother him to waste a little time.

They arrived at the warehouse door, the door had rust, it seems that it did not have much use, but when the old man opened the door, an arsenal similar to the first one appeared in sight, only that all the weapons were a jet black color. The old man pointed to a corner, while saying, "These weapons are made to train the old elite of the continent, there are some left over, but nobody uses them anymore, people prefer sharper swords to polish their swordplay, but I think you will find them Useful, take two swords, you will not regret it. "

Kioh went to the corner and took two swords from the wall, there was still a dozen left, the moment they fell on his hand, he frowned. Although these swords were similar to the wooden swords, used to practice the material was much heavier, each sword weighed 40-50 kilograms, the blade although it was not sharp, did not have any scratch. No training weapon had a sharp blade.

Do not put that face, young, these swords are made to improve your control and your physique, the initial level weighs 100 kg each sword, in the pommel of the sword you can find a small switch, this is the intensity control, there you can modify with the two buttons, the limit being 2,100 kilograms and the increases of 200 kilograms. In addition, another advantage of these swords is that they have an amazing hardness, if you ever manage to break one due to use, I will give you another new pair, although I doubt you will get it.

"Lord, forgive my greed, but do you have any suit of this material?" Kioh could not help asking if he could wear a suit of this material he could easily improve his agility. Although it was inside the game, still it was quite important.

"Uhm, in fact there are many suits, but they are defective, because if you receive a blow with the suit you do not have any measure of protection, so your weak points are exposed, weigh 200 kg, and work like the sword, reaching up 4 tons, but it should be used with caution since it can kill you if you are not prepared for it, I recommend you do not use it, but if you want to take it, feel free ... "He could not help sighing, the young people always bite more, that they could eat.

"I'll have to be disrespectful with Elder then," he stepped forward and grabbed an entire set, looked like a camouflage suit, had plates of jet black material, and the textile part was made of a dark blue material, it was really soft, plates were evenly distributed throughout the body, so as soon as he dressed, he felt his body weighing twice as much.

"I can only wish you luck in your young way, keep trying." Said the old man, while raising his hand in sign of goodbye.

"I thank elder for his kindness and generosity, I hope we meet again in this uncertain future." Kioh respectfully bowed, this old man had helped him, although he knew that he was not a real person, good manners should always be practiced.

Kioh left the city slowly while walking through the city a panel appeared in his sight.

[Main mission: Go up to level 5]

[Increased difficulty: You can only use the training weapons, and you have to put on the training suit, you have to hunt beasts alone, and the time is cut in half]

[Time: 4 days]

"The training doll will end up taking my life" Kioh sighed, "it would be a much simpler mission if it had not failed, well at least it's only going up to level 10 ..."

If anyone else heard him say that, they would try to beat up this troublemaker, the player who climbed the fastest took 3 days, with the best weapons that blacksmiths could do and in a group of 5 with experienced warriors. How the hell this rookie was going to match that expert? At least there was no one around and the problems were saved.

While he was leaving the village, looking for a hunting ground, he was thinking about the flaws of gale sword, he could not exert all his strength as with the mannequin, because for that he needed to be immobile, and if he received a blow he would stop his impulse, The problem with double swords is that if I blocked a blow I always had the losing side.

[Secondary mission: For every 10 points of ingame constitution, the system will reward the user with an improvement of a small stage in his mortal body.]

Kioh's eyes shone, it seems that training in the game was even more effective thanks to the clock, this was a golden opportunity to achieve a decent physique.

Slowly he reached a valley, inside you could hear the sound of animals moving, in addition to the clash of weapons. Kioh quickened the pace, it seems that he had already found some targets. Deep in the valley, a group of 3 people was fighting against a herd of 5 beasts, but there were many more beasts around, but they did not pay attention, the aggressiveness of these beasts was controlled by the system, these beasts had the physic of a dog, but more agile, in addition its power of attack was formidable, the claws of their legs were longer and sharpened, and their fangs protruding from their jaws.

Kioh did not even care and addressed a group of four beasts, he relied on his battle instincts as immortal. He always grew on the edge of death and loved to push himself to the extreme, and if he died here he would only lose 10 levels, it was a perfect opportunity to train.

The group of three could not help but roll their eyes, it seems that this person overestimated these wolves, his group of three was already pressed by a group of five wolves, how was this young man going to live alone against four? But they did not have time, to worry about the lives of others, theirs was already at stake. Although death was not the worst, the pain was real, and nobody wanted to go through it.

Kioh started hitting, the nearest wolf, and soon the other 3 surrounded him, looking for openings to hit. "Damn the weight of the sword is killing me, but I must endure, all for having a powerful physique .." Slowly they came to a standstill, each time the 3 wolves were going to make an attack, Kioh evaded, two of they failed the attack and the remaining wolf had to face his sword, but these were not sharp, did not execute deadly attacks, but in contrast the weight caused a pretty big impact, if a jet black sword hit a wolf full, it would send flying. The wolf that was holding the frontal assault of Kioh received some blows, although his agility was quite good.

The group of 3, who had just finished with their group of beasts, could not help looking at Kioh with a new look, although the situation was quite funny, because a person was dancing with the wolves randomly, it seemed that neither of the two sides had wounds.

But the reality was different, the wolf that was receiving the Kioh sword offensively was full of internal wounds, the sword weighed a lot, each blow transmitted a wave of strength to their internal organs, and Kioh was not much better either, his resistance was descending quickly, the suit was too formidable, could not continue like this, or these wolves would eat Kioh's flesh.

Kioh threw one of the swords at the wolf that had been abusing for quite some time, this had to dodge or perish, the sword was nailed to the ground deeply due to its weight a few meters behind. But Kioh had already sealed his route of escape, with 100 kilos less, and with both hands in one of the swords, the blow was devastating, in addition, it gave him fully, the wolf went directly fired 3 meters before hitting a stone that ended his life.

[Experience gained, 12.5%]

"So fast leveling?" Kioh could not help but exclaim. What he did not know was that these wolves were, 3 levels more than him, besides fighting at a disadvantage always gave extra experience. The system rewarded battles to the limit, instead of massacring large groups of weaker beasts. The goal was to refine people's battle instincts and improve their ability. Still, Kioh did not have too much time to think, because 3 wolves were assaulting him by his back. Kioh continued with his forward momentum, his target was the other sword stuck in the ground.

To evade the assault of the 3 wolves, he could only go straight ahead, he knew that he would have slight injuries, but he had to finish them quickly, his stamina was approaching 20%. With a serious expression, he grabbed the sword hard, both hands hardened his grip on it, and using the sword stuck in the ground as a fulcrum, jumped up, only rose a meter, the suit weighed too much, but it was enough, two wolves failed their attack, and the last one managed to reach Kioh's thigh with claws leaving 3 cuts of 5 centimeters, but not too deep.

Kioh not only dodged, this last wolf was still near his landing point, grabbing his sword as hard as he could he increased his weight 200 kilograms, and plunged his blade into the back of this, the weight and force of fall was such , that he heard the sound of melodically broken bones, meanwhile Kioh had come up with something when feeling the breeze on his feet, quickly lowered the weight of the sword to 100 kilograms, and grabbed the one that was stuck in the ground.

The group of 3, had been looking for a while with their mouths open, why was there the feeling that this young man was beating some puppies quietly? He had to make so many unnecessary movements? What these three did not know is that he was bearing the weight of hundreds of kilograms, besides that the training swords had no edge, so he could only rely on his mass to exert damage.

With the two swords in his hand, he directed a sharp look at the wolves, the hunter had become the hunted. Only a fifth of his resistance was left and his thigh was burning, blood slowly seeping in, the countdown had just begun.
