Chapter 4: Mission Completed

"Raawwrr!!!"

"Bang!!!"

Virgil tried his best to steady his flying body. With one palm, he pushed off the ground and somersaulted backwards, in a half-crouched position, while anchoring his retreating body with his sword.

Gasping for air, he looked at the nearby life form that looked like a wolf and a tiger that did this to him while still roaring at him. Truly upset within his heart, he is.

[Demonic wolf with tiger body (lv20)]

Confirming the name of this demonic beast, he calmed down and stood up raising his sword.

He thought that a level 20 was just that, compared to a level 10, not much different in strength, if he could kill a level 19, just one level difference shouldn't be a big problem.

But who would have guessed that a level 20 demonic beast differed significantly from a level 19 demonic beast, the two are like heaven and earth in terms of difference. Through his brief exchange, he would with great honor like to inform everyone that a level 20 demonic beast is at least 2 times stronger than a level 19 one.

This is within a context where a level 19 is at most 1.5x the power of a level 10. And that extra half comes from the difference of 9 lv.

Right now, just a mere level is enough to tilt the scale to 2 times, is this still comparable?

At this point, he realized that just being intact wouldn't do him any good.

It's perfectly understandable since he came into this world just 1 month ago, getting to this stage is an achievement in itself.

If he hadn't blocked the blow with his sword, he wouldn't have escaped just by flying through the air!

Holding the sword in both hands, he calmly watched the tiger wolf slowly approaching.

Within this battle-filled month, he has already reached the basic state of mind of a warrior, at the very least, faced with a crisis, he would not lose his head. Compared to the that almost in its pants at the sight of a giant snake, it has gotten a lot stronger!

It's not to say that the opponent is insurmountable, but with 1 month of intense practice, he has leveled up quite a bit, along with his proficiency in the 'Kendo Master' skill, the power to compete with a level 20 is there.

However, it is at a disadvantage compared to the opponent.

Since the shit has already hit the fan, there is no room for regrets, at this point he can only give it his all!

Bracing himself, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes, a step, and like a storm he charged straight at the tiger wolf.

"Roar!!" Looking at this noob who dares to challenge him, the tiger wolf became angry and with a roar, his body jumped like a released spring towards the approaching Virgil.

Ignoring the tiger wolf's actions, he lashed out indifferently. When the distance between the two sides was less than 1 meter, he jumped!

Bumping into the beast's back he dodged its attack, with a turn of his body, he grabbed what seemed to be a mixture of tail between that of a tiger and that of a wolf, and with a tug he pulled himself towards his rear, a metallic light flashed and the Kusanagi violently attacked the... beast's ass.

With an outpouring of blood, the beast let out a pitiful groan, as if its parents were dead. With a flick of his tail, he sent Virgil flying.

Thus, his body had an intimate contact with the ground, planting himself face down for about 2 meters, he pushed himself upwards again.

With his body, this kind of frictional force is just a mere sting, it didn't even scratch him. The same, however, cannot be said of his clothes, for at this point his home security uniform (short-sleeved shirt and pants) has become a tramp's outfit.

Looking at the tiger wolf that was writhing in pain, he laughed devilishly and tore off the torn cloths, revealing the torn upper torso.

After leveling up a lot, his waist no longer hurt, the pain in his legs disappeared, he lost his lipid-based six-pack protector and got in shape! Compared to the puny body from before, this one is a knockout!

Turning his sword, without waiting for the wolf's response, he slashed the tiger wolf's back from behind and inflicted a giant wound on him.

The wolf's weak point is the waist, he also knows this as this is what people do when dealing with wolves.

Unfortunately, he forgot, what's in front of him isn't just a wolf, he also has a tiger-like physique.

The beast screamed in anger, neglecting the wound, raised its claw, and put Virgil into air mode.

'Bam', he slammed against a tree trunk with a trail of blood running down his mouth.

It's not like he hasn't been injured in the last month, but that doesn't mean he's going to get used to it, at the end of the day he still doesn't like pain.

Without giving her breath, he came in front of her and slammed it with his claw.

The pupils constricted, he rolled out of the trunk, the trunk turned into splinters of wood under the blow.

He rolled again under the beast and stabbed it in the stomach. Amidst the beast's cries of pain, he drew his sword.

The tiger wolf's eyes began to turn red, suggesting that he was going wild! Clearly, no matter how much happens, the battle will not end like this. From the start, this match was nothing more than a duel to the death!

He thought he would be safe under the beast, but its tail whipped him. Panicked, he only manages to block it with his arms, too bad, that didn't stop him from flying out.

"Cough.. Cough..." He rolled a few rounds before barely getting up, leaning on his sword. As he coughed up blood, his eyes became cloudy and his face was eerily pale.

He felt his organs being shaken and it hurt all over his body, compared to the previous experience, this is a first for him.

If it was him from a month ago, he'd probably be on the floor groaning with misery...

With great effort, the tiger wolf moved, and blood gushed from his abdomen and back. Wide-eyed, she looked at him.

As it turns out, you're no better shape than he is.

"Hu... hu..." Panting, he kept his eyes fixed on the beast. The game has shifted to a game of attrition and willpower, the side that loses first will be the first to fall.

'I just need to keep myself in control...'

Singing repeatedly, he calmed down, twisting his sword and pulling it aside, lowering it and pulling it back.

Slowly he closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and calmed down.

With the 'kendo master' in his hands, he has the finesse of sword handling honed over decades. The intuitions and scope of the sword are right at your fingertips. He knows that his body can't sustain rigorous movements. Therefore, he can only use this to decide once and for all.

The tiger wolf could give less importance to what he does, with his undeveloped intelligence, he only knows the one who stands before him is the enemy and the cause of his injuries. Smash it to pieces and devour it, end of story.

Arching her back, she leapt toward him, and aiming for his collarbone, the beast lowered its claws.

Now!

Just as the wind blew through him, there was a glow in his heart and his eyes opened, his sword moved as if he hadn't received the master's permission. Before the claw could reach him, the sword pierced through the beast's eyeball!

"Grr.. gr.." Fresh blood flowed, his hand contained only Kusanagi's handle, in heavy breaths the tiger wolf let out unrecognizable sounds. With blood running from his mouth like saliva, he made a pool of blood on the floor.

Retrieving the sword, he was bathed in his fresh blood, retreating a few steps, sat down on the ground with eyes full of weariness.

The beast fell gradually, making a thud with its body. Twitching his legs twice and finally stopped.

[Ding! Congratulations on leveling up]

[Current Level 16!]

[Ding! Congratulations on leveling up]

[Current Level 17!]

[Ding! Congratulations on leveling up]

[Current Level 18!]

[Ding! Mission 1 complete!]

[Received 2,000 Ep, 2,000 Ip, 1,000 Ap, 1,000 Sp!]

[Ding! Mission 3 complete!]

[Received 10,000 Ep, 10,000 Ip, 5,000 Ap, 5,000 Sp!]

A feeling of warmth radiated from within and flowed rapidly within his body. With his flow, his tattered body underwent recovery until it finally returned to its original state!

His pale face began to turn red again, the tiredness in his eyes disappeared, making him full of energy, and a slight hint of brightness shining from time to time.

Rejoicing, he raised his arms around his waist, stretching his body to the right and left and finally laughing.

{Full hp full mp, status completo!}

{Ah.. God bless the advantages of leveling!}

Laughing a few more times before sheathing his sword and falling to the dead wolf's side. Stroking the demon wolf's head with his hand, an indescribable amount of smugness came from him.

"I told you not to start a fight that you can't end, but no, you had to do it, now look who's back for the wolf's embrace. Stop looking at me like that before I sell you!"

In saying this, he contradicted himself by selling it to the system in exchange for 5,000 Ip and 1,000 Ap.

Satisfied, he rubbed his hands together and opened the status screen.

[Unit: Virgil]

[Ability: 'Master Kendo', 'Culinary Master']

[Equipment: Kusanagi's Sword (Rank D)]

[Summon: None]

[Ep: 24.000]

[IP: 120.000]

[Ap: 30.000]

[Sp: 30.000]

[Level: 18]

Of course as day, Ip surpassed other points, all of this is the glorious contribution of the demonic beast that was out of luck and was sent back to Hades. Although he got some magic crystals, the crystals could only be exchanged for a small amount of Ap, even a level 20 demonic beast only earned him 1000 points, and his Sp was the fruit of countless assaults on the demonic beast nest.

This shows how precious Ap and Sp are.

After all, that's the result after completing all three missions.

Regarding Ep, can it really be expected that there is any equipment inside this place forsaken by God? Even if there were, those are the ones that were inside the beasts' stomachs, so it's not worth much.

And the 'cooking master' who makes Gordon Ramsey look like a hack was obtained after he got tired of dozens of days eating fruit.

Standing up, he realized that he was covered in blood from head to toe.

"Looks like a shower is in order, wait, when was the last time I took a shower? Well, screw it, let's take a shower!"
