Lightning Movement Skill

'It looks delicious.'

Ren was currently grilling a hind leg of a rabbit on an open field.

In front of him, nine corpses of magical beasts were scattered on the ground. When he was chasing a rabbit, he was suddenly ambushed by three magical beasts.

Not only that, but six magical beasts also appeared right after he killed them. However, they all died at his hands because they were only at 1-star.

'I hope it tastes as delicious as the rabbit meat in my previous life.'

Even though he was in a dangerous place, there was no sign of worry or fear in his eyes.

He even smiled happily.

It was as if he was not in the dangerous forest but in a safe place.

'The meat is cooked.'

Right after he bit the meat, a 1-star bear appeared and approached him.

Like before, Ren was still calm.

He even acted normally, as if he was alone in that place.

"Leave this place now. Otherwise, you will die." After saying that, Ren consumed the meat again.

He was not in the mood to fight 1-star magical beast at that time.

There were two reasons for this.

First, he killed twelve 1-star magical beasts, but it only gave him four beast cores. And lastly, he wanted to eat in peace.

*Roar…

The bear was unhappy with Ren's behavior.

Even though the bear could not understand his words, he could tell that Ren did not put him in his eyes.

"So, you still want to fight me, huh?" Ren grabbed his sword and rose to his feet.

With a rabbit meat in his left hand and a sword in his other hand, he approached the 1-star bear leisurely.

The bear roared again.

It rushed toward him when Ren infused his energy into his sword.

*Slash…

Like how he killed the previous magical beasts, Ren only needed one move to kill the bear.

"I told you to leave this place, but you did not listen to me." He walked toward the bonfire and sat in front of it again.

'System, show me the active quest.'

He added in his head.

----

Active quest: 1

- Kill five 1-star magical beasts (5/5)

- Kill two 2-star magical beasts (0/2)

----

'I still need to kill two 2-star magical beasts to complete the quest.'

After he was full, he rose to his feet and looked for 2-star magical beasts.

However, the goddess of luck was not on his side because all the magical beasts he met was only at 1-star.

'It has been twenty minutes since I started looking for them. Just where are they? Isn't the forest their home? Or am I in the wrong part of the forest?'

He suddenly remembered the Lightning Movement card.

'I should activate the card now.'

He decided to activate the Lightning Movement card because, with this, he could find 2-star magical beasts faster and easier.

'System, activate the Lightning Movement card.'

He said in his head.

[Ding! Lightning Movement card activated.]

Memories related to the Lightning Movement skill suddenly appeared in his mind, and he felt as if he had mastered the Lightning Movement skill for a long time.

'Hmm? I can master the skill instantly?'

He previously thought a book about Lightning Movement skill would appear, but he was wrong.

[Host, you can learn any magic and skill instantly with the help of the system. However, all skills and spell cards from the quest will not have physical forms and will disappear right after being activated.]

His system also told him that he would get a notification if he touched any spell or skill book.

If he decided to learn it, he would master it instantly like how he learned the Lightning Movement skill.

Those skill and spell books would not disappear because they were not rewards from the system or quests.

He could not master the Basic Warrior Class Guide Book because it was not a skill or a spell book but a knowledge book.

[But you don't need to worry about it, Host. With your grade S talent, you can learn any knowledge book quickly and easily.]

An unexpected happiness consumed him.

'I did not know that my system was a cheat tool! What a good system!'

He suddenly felt like the goddess of luck was smiling at him because he could master all spell and skill books in a second.

'Now, it's time to test this skill.'

Blue lightning appeared and danced on his body.

When he rushed forward, the grass swayed, and his steps left lightning trails on the ground.

Due to how fast he was, it was like his body had turned into blue lightning because no one could see him unless he stopped moving.

'This skill is truly worthy of being in the Supreme rank category.'

Ren, who was in a cave, nodded his head in satisfaction.

'There is no magical beast in this place.'

He used the Lightning Movement skill again.

In a second, he appeared on a cliff.

When he did not see any magical beasts in the area, he left again.

In the next second, he was in the lakeside.

He also appeared in the middle of ten magical beasts, but he did not attack them.

His target was only 2-star magical beasts, so he did not want to waste his time on 1-star magical beasts.

[Host, the flame cat in front of you is already at 2-star.]

Ren stopped running and hid behind a tree.

'Flame Cat?'

He saw a cat eating a deer fifteen meters from him. 

The cat was one and a half meters tall, with white fur, a red tail, red ears, and red eyes.

Even though the deer was bigger and taller than the cat, it still ended up becoming the cat's food.

'That cat is eating its food. It's a good time to attack it in secret.'

He unsheathed his sword and used the Lightning Movement skill to attack it.

However, his surprise attack failed to kill the Flame Cat in one move.

The Flame Cat had good instincts and a great reaction. It took a long jump backward when Ren's sword was about to separate its head from its body.

'Cats are still cats. Even in this world, their reactions and instincts are still great.'

Ren praised his opponent in his head.

*Drip…Drip…Drip…

Blood kept dripping from the Flame Cat's neck.

Even though Ren failed to kill it in one move, but he managed to injure its neck, causing the blood to keep coming out of its neck.

"Ooowaaaaooo…waaaaooo…" the Flame Cat was furious when it saw its blood.

Ren attacked him secretly when he was eating his food, so he rushed toward Ren immediately.

When the Flame Cat wanted to tear his body apart with its sharp claws, Ren used the Lightning Movement skill to disappear and appear above the cat's head.

The Flame cat hissed after Ren stabbed his sword into its head. Realizing that he could not kill Ren, the cat decided to run away.

However, his speed was not as fast as Ren's speed, so Ren could catch up with him easily.

"Die." Ren spoke in a relaxed tone as he swung his sword fast.

Blood splattered in the air as he chopped off its head.

Bang!

Its head rolled several meters from its body after falling to the ground.

"Oh? This cat has a beast core?" An unexpected happiness consumed him as he saw a beast core floating above the cat's corpse.

'It seems like my guess is right. The stronger the magical beasts, the higher the probability of them having beast cores.'

When he was about to take the beast core, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Young man, I want that beast core." The voice of an adult man reverberated in the entire area.
