Earth claw lion [1]

After eating, Aamon, who was overly excited about discovering the true history of war and becoming the progenitor of war, finished eating.

He went into his room to get his bag, accompanied by Lilia, who was already missing him even though he hadn't left; she pouted incessantly the moment his father mentioned leaving.

"Weird," Aamon mocked her, amazed that she missed him even after she smack him in the head for not understanding her words.

'Thank God she couldn't hear that, anyway she is too cute for a girl her age, I wonder how many guys will act cool in front of her just to win her attention,' he thought to himself as he stuffed his clothes into the black bag.

After that, he placed the bag on his back with the intention of walking past the door, but Lilia was standing there with watery eyes. She burst into tears and hugged him.

"Remember to write to us, big brother; I'm going to miss you terribly." She said sweetly after separating herself from Aamon.

'Oh, I almost forgot, this is a historical world, and letters are the most popular and least expensive means of communication, if not the only one.' Aamon pondered; he isn't used to writing letters; he only knows how to use phones. Even phone calls had already stopped working before he died.

"Don't worry, I'll do it, and I promise that when I am powerful and popular, we will no longer live in this house, but in a large castle." That was a promise made by the previous Aamon to Lilia.

"OK," Lilia replied sweetly. Aamon and Lilia exited the house to meet their parents.

Before he boarded the carriage his parents had arranged for him, they both gave him words of advice and encouragement. The journey to TangXia martial arts academy is long and difficult, and one may even be eaten by a wild beast.

The carriage rider wasn't the type to engage in conversation with his passengers, but he was friendly and had no negative impressions of Aamon and his father.

'What a wonderful world!' 'He marveled at the sight of this world; the forest they were passing through was noisy with bird chirping and other small animal sounds.'

"The forest is beautiful, right? as beautiful as it is, this place holds my worst memory, my family was slaughtered here by a crazy group of Earth claw lions, I couldn't fight against all of them, it was such a dark day for me," Theodore, the rider, said from where he was sitting, controlling the two horses that were used to transport the carriage.

"I'm sorry about that," Aamon consoled Theodore, knowing what it was like to lose loved ones due to your inability to fight; he, too, had lost his best friend and lover in this manner.

"Don't worry, I just told you that part of my memory to show you why power is good. Because I never had the opportunity to attend a good martial arts academy, I learned how to defend myself from my grandfather. It's fantastic that you're attending TangXia Martial Arts Academy."

The chirping of birds and other animals came to a halt as the path to the forest became quiet.

'Why is it suddenly so quiet?' Aamon felt a shiver run down his spine as he watched the forest, which was strangely quiet.

"It's a demonic beast!" According to Theodore, his eyes were scanning the environment for one.

"What exactly is a demonic beast?" Aamon inquired.

"It's an evolved beast with a strong affinity for martial arts. Their thinking has also evolved "Theodore elaborated.

[Eᴍᴇʀɢᴇɴᴄʏ Qᴜᴇsᴛ]

[Qᴜᴇsᴛ: slay the demonic beast]

[Rᴇᴡᴀʀᴅ: ???]

[Pᴇɴᴀʟᴛʏ: you will be eaten alive]

'Wait, I should slay the demonic beast, but I don't even have a good weapon or any active skills; the only passive skill I have is chopping and fleeing.' The emergency quest caught Aamon off guard.

Fortunately, he had brought a knife with him. If not, how difficult will it be to even approach the demonic beast?

_Roar_

Following that roar were the sounds of birds fleeing for their lives and small animals running wildly in an attempt to save their heads.

A beast with the head of a lion, sharp and pointed fangs, and a claw that appeared to be made of hard rock.

"Earth claw lion!"

A strange glint appeared in Theodore's eyes as they approached the earth claw lion's body. It could be described as murderous intent.

Theodore descended from his perch, unsheathed his sword, and pointed it at the Earth claw lion.

Theodore lunged at the beast with a beastly roar. As he swung his sword, there was no aura or qi manipulation.

Nonetheless, the sword moved with the wind, and each slash was followed by a little bit of charm. Aamon was astounded that the gentle Theodore could fight like a beast.

"You, unholy monster, must pay for the death of my precious family. Your race will be wiped out and become extinct" Amidst his slashes, Theodore said.

The earth claw lion was holding Theodore back with nothing but its strength when it attacked, swinging its claws pitilessly at Theodore.

'I guess it's time for me to get back to work.' Aamon jumped down from the carriage silently, oblivious to both fighters.

'When you know you aren't strong enough to fight an opponent head on, you must devise ways to fight it without alerting it.' That was one of the lessons he learned as a specialist with close combat experience.

Aamon walked on tiptoe toward the short trees and lawn grasses. The knife in his hands was still in tact; after all, who would be foolish enough to drop a weapon like that at this critical juncture?

[The passive skill [Escaping] has been activated: your steps are now silent.]

'Oh, thank you, system.'

[You are most welcome, host]

Aamon couldn't get over how awesome his system was!

His feet moved cautiously through the grasses, his step was small and unnoticeable, like a black snake in the dark of the night, hidden and venomous.
