Harbinger of Death

"Dodge the attack! Ugh, why are your legs shaking? don't tell me you reached level 4 without even confronting a monster?" Red said clearly pissed at Chris.

Chris nodded mechanically and replied "You're right mister Red, the reason why I reached level 4 was because I just tagged along with those 5 adventerurers."

Red could shake his head and said "Let's go to the level 2 area monsters, they are much weaker and you can gain combat experience from them."

Chris tried to protest but Red already left him behind so he could only follow him.

A couple of minutes later they arrived at the level 2 area and was now facing a wild boar.

"Okay, go now and face your opponent remember to watch it's movement all monsters have their own attack pattern and if you can figure it out you can defeat them much more easily" Red said while pushing Chris infront of the boar.

Chris swallowed his saliva and raised his sword he then stared at the boar infront trying to guess it's movement.

Then suddenly the boar charged towards him he was really scared but he remembered what Red told him earlier.

(If you can't defeat even a level 2 monster despite being level 4 I'll strip you off and make you run around the town naked)

He clenched his teeth and prepared to fight the boar, he noticed that the boar was running slowly so when the boar was only a few meters away he side stepped to the left and dodged the attack.

Seeing the boar being in a vulnerable state Chris raised his sword and slashed towards the boar.

The boar suffered a critical hit and was now on the verge of being defeated.

Chris was so happy that he had successfully dodged and attacked the boar he raised his sword and shouted towards Red.

"Did you saw that Mister Red? I defeated the boar wahahahha who told you that I am a weakling?" Chris was so happy that he didn't even noticed that the boar was already charging towards him.

Red couldn't help himself but close his eyes upon seeing the tusk of the boar penetrated at Chris' rear end.

"Arrrggggg! Fck! my butt hurts like hell!" Chris shouted then looked towards the boar he held the sword tightly and decapitated the boar killing it successfully this time.

"Hahahaha, what a magnificent fight Chris. other adventurers will surely want to hear the story of how you got raped by a boar Wahahahaha!" Red laughed while patting Chris' shoulder.

Chris could only grit his teeth and bear the humilitation.

"Okay2, stop playing around Chris next time if you even get hit by the boar you know what will happen to you right?" Red said with a grin.

Chris really wanted to cry and thought (Who's playing around? I just got stab on my butt and you're just standing there laughing at my misfortune and now you're making my task even harder! Urghhhh!)

He wanted to curse at the Red but thought otherwise replied "I understand Mister Red, I will fight seriously from now on and won't play around."

"That's great, so here is your task you must kill 100 boar until sunset or else you will have to suffer the penalty" Red said seriously.

Chris gulped hearing this and immediately stood up and searched for wild boars.

A few hours later.

"Phew, huh huh huh. Mister Red how many boars left?" Chris asked while panting heavily.

"You have managed to kill 87 boars already and you unexpectedly reached level 5, so go on and kill 13 more boars and let's go back you still 2 hours left." Red said while looking at his watch.

Chris smiled and nodded happily "Roger that! let's eat boar's meat later and we'll give the owner some of the meat that we managed to obtain."

After saying that Chris stood up and immediately dashed the boar's and killing 13 immediately, Red nodded seeing that Chris is not afraid of monsters anymore.

"Let's go back, but we must go to the blacksmith shop first to get my sword and get you a new one also." Red said then immediately walked towards the town.

Chris was shocked then ran behind Red and said "But I can't afford a new sword Mr. Red so I don't think that it is a good idea."

Red ignored Chris grumbling and continued walking, seeing this Chris sighed and thought (I can't really protest because Mr. Red won't even listen to me) so Chris sighed and chose to follow Red quietly.

A couple of minutes later they finally arrived in front of the shop. Red didn't even knocked and just open the door said in a loud voice.

"Arthur! is my sword done?"

A few moments after Red spoke a man that looked like 30 years old came out looking angry at Red.

"Didn't I told you to always knock?! What if I was still making your sword and you suddenly barged in and made me lose focus! you sword would be wasted and you need to gather all the ingredients again!" shouted Arthur who is clearly pissed at Red.

Red didn't even flinched and asked again "So is my sword done?"

Arthur shook his head in defeat and took out a blood red two handed sword and passed it at Red.

"Here take it I named it "The harbinger of death", heh sounds scary right?" Arthur said with a smug.

But as usual Red chose to ignore him and pointed towards Chris "I want you to also make him a sword that fits him perfectly he is an AGI type swordsman don't worry about the pay I will be the one paying so just do your job"

Arthur took a look at Chris and walked towards him he took out his body measurements and asked some questions about what kind of sword he feels comfortable with.

"Got it, no need to look for material because I still got some on my store just come back the day after because I need to rest first" Arthur said while stetching.

Red nodded and walked out the shop, Chris bowed at Arthur and followed behind Red.

Seeing the fleeting figure of Red, Arthur chuckled "Even though you like to act distant you still want some company hahaha no one wants to alone in this death game."
