Hunting Warriors

Sam watched the tattoo form in amazement, it's the first time he had seen such advanced magic since he had come to the spirit continent.

Sam ordered the clone to summon the soul warrior out of pure curiosity.

The clone did another small chant under its breath and waved its hand lightly.

Right in front of the clone a green translucent figure formed, it matched the previous warrior's looks with a slightly bent over back and signs of aging clear on its face.

But the difference is that it doesn't affect the souls' combat power.

After ordering the clone to continue hunting more warriors in the slums Sam withdrew his sight from the clone's viewpoint. He had other important things to do. It was also his first plan on getting some higher level summons.

He intends to finally fight himself and target some Rank 10 warriors who are entering the city for the auction. He had already found his first target, so after placing a purchased mask and robe on he walked out the inn. He looked slightly silly due to his short stature with the robe slightly trailing along the floor.

After leaving he walked out of the city unobstructed he walked into the closest forest. His target this time is the disciples of a nearby second grade sect the Sharp Sword Sect. They are classed as a second grade sect as they only have one Rank 10 warrior.

According to the news that Sam had heard, the sect master accompanied the disciples to the auction and had just left to let the disciples practice in the forest.

Sam shuttled through the trees heading towards the slight noises in the distance. It's not easy to kill a Rank 10 warrior even if Sam originally had the bonus stats from being a magician.

But since upgrading to Rank 11 it is immediately much easier for Sam to prevent a Rank 10 warrior from escaping.

Sam quickly reached a clearing and saw ten disciples at rank 2 and 3 fighting a rank 4 beast. Standing behind them a handsome middle-aged man watched the fight with little interest, occasionally pointing out one of the combatants' flaws.

Sam quickly cast the most advanced concealment spell he knew and shuttered into the tree directly behind the man, he wanted to end this quickly.

He lowered his breathing until it was barely audible and creeped forward along the branch. He hadn't learnt any proper martial arts skills yet but his stats were high enough to allow him to go unnoticed.

At this point the beast had been cut leaving bloody trails across its fur. Suddenly the beast let out a growl and spiritual energy rushed towards it and condensed into a fireball in its mouth. It realised it wasn't the disciples' opponent so it prepared its final move.

The middle-aged man changed his stance slightly to be able to help the disciples if needed. But this was the chance Sam had been waiting for.

Sam jumped out of the tree and condensed his spiritual power on a Rank 3 sword he had bought in the city. He wanted a higher ranking sword but they simply weren't available for purchase in the small Watt city.

The sword cut through the air and stabbed towards the heart of the man. However the man isn't weak, he immediately sensed Sam charging behind him and tilted his body.

Unfortunately, Sam had already become a Rank 11 warrior so the man's movements only prevented him from an instant death as the sword embedded itself into the man's lungs. Using his remaining strength the man leaned back taking the sword with him.

''Who?'' He spoke with difficulty as a mouth of blood fell from his mouth.

Sam just continued to look coldly through his metal mask.

No matter what happened Sam didn't want to be related to the killings. He hasn't been in this world long enough to get information about life tracking methods.

Seeing that he wasn't going to get a reply, the man lifted the sword in his hand and got into an offensive position.

''Ha if i'm going down i'm taking you with me'' The man has long since realised he was going to die, and had easily given up on the disciples that he brought with him.

Instantly the man and Sam leaped forward against each other, no fancy skills just sword against sword. But unfortunately for the man, Sam had double the stats of a normal Rank 10 warrior.

However it still wasn't easy for the fight to end quickly with the vitality that warriors have. But Sam was also a mage, he stepped back and quickly used his skills,

The air quickly sped up lifting the dust and sand of the ground blocking the man's sight.

''No? How can you be a mage as well'' The man was stunned and then terrified. Mages are seen as a noble position above others due to their rarity. But they are also known for their ability to fight against multiple opponents of the same rank.

However Sam didn't give him enough time to think it through as he quickly cast his skill again and formed spikes of earth beneath the man's feet.

The man didn't have time to react as the spikes pierced both his feet and Sam quickly leaped forward with his sword and pierced his neck.

The dying man's eyes easily displayed his emotions. From the very beginning he had no idea why he was attacked. He didn't even know it was solely because Sam wanted more summoning opportunities and to get some combat experience.
