A TANK!

'Foveros, are you alright?' asked Merlin through his mental connection with Foveros.

'Yes. Merlin! This is a strong new thing! What is it?'

'Hup!' said Merlin as he barely dodged an attack directed straight towards his heart.

'It is strong isn't it? This is called a Sabercat, and is a peak Tier 1 beast. It is an enemy and is bad! I need to kill it fast. Can you help me?'

Although Merlin wasn't sure about Foveros' actual strength, since he couldn't inspect Foveros. No matter how many times he tried, the system only said,

[You cannot Inspect a being from a higher race]

Merlin did not get angry at the system's messages. At first, it had only given [Cannot be Inspected]. But after hundreds of tries, the system gave the reason, almost as if it was pitying Merlin. But he also understood then that Foveros was a Blood-wolf after all. A race that was most definitely stronger than Zero. Naturally, it had to be a 'higher race'. But that brought up the question, what was a higher race?

Since Merlin did not know anything about this, and worrying about it would not bring him anything, he decided to put it at the back of his mind for the time being.

'Yes I can!' replied Foveros as he rushed out of Merlin's half tattered Jacket, with speeds that the Tier 1 Merlin could not keep up with.

'Did he also become Tier 1?' Merlin thought to himself as he continued to aggro the beast, in order to take its attention away from the frighteningly quick red shadow.

Although it was a peak Tier 1, It had not yet evolved intelligence, and thanks to that, Merlin was able to pull its attention to himself my simply using a [Wind blade] towards it's eye. This did not do much to it, besides creating a scratch on the crystal like eye.

Merlin could almost hear it saying 'All this for a drop of blood' as it focused on Merlin once more, however, there was neither a drop of blood, nor was the beast sentient.

The Toughness stat of this beast was just too strong, and its Strength stat should be equally as strong. Although Zombies and bests don't receive the system Arcania, and simply grow by absorbing mana, humans could gauge their strength using [Inspection] skills that some people had, and almost every large force had 4 – 5 such people. Merlin was one of them, and so had already [Inspected] the Sabercat.

Seeing its stats, Merlin was also flabbergasted. How could such a muscle brain exist? 0 Intelligence? How was that possible? Even new-born babies have a stat of 1 Intelligence. Every single Tier 1 existence had an intelligence of at least 12, even those muscle brains from 'Italian Gym' who only accepted maxed out Toughness, Strength, and Vitality players, had an intelligence of 12. All the members of that group were Vanguard type classes with builds that put Ivan Drago to shame.

But 0 intelligence… Just how stupid was this thing? It was already repulsive enough being a cat species, but now it was a muscle head as well? And what was with the maxed out Toughness, Dexterity, Vitality and Strength? This was no mere beast, it was a stupid, idiotic, indestructible tank!
