Fuck! I Am doomed!

Using Steps Of Gale, Nux appeared behind a star bear, he slashed his sword, but unlike how previously, the head is hacked off without any resistance, he could only leave a deep wound on its neck.

However, Nux wasn't how he used to be either.

After 20 days of continuous fighting, his instincts and experience were better than the last time.

He quickly stomped his foot and jumped back, not only that, he even created a water shield in front of him, in case the bear reacted faster than he expected and attacks him.

His worries, however, were unfounded, only when he landed on the ground, did the bear finally turn back and attacked.

"Roaarr!!"

'Damn, a 3-star beasts defence is really something… my sword isn't strong enough to defeat it in one move…'

Nux muttered as he glanced at the 2.5 meters huge Earth Bear in front of him.

[Earth Bear]

[Cultivation: 3 Star Beast.]

[LVL: 33]

[HP: 210/430]

[STR: 44]

[AGL: 42]

[VIT: 43]

[STM: 41]

[DEF: 46]

…

'I just need another strike to end him but… I don't think it would be that easy…'

Nux thought as he glanced at the earth bear that was looking at him with red eyes and a maddened look. It was as if it was ready to fight to the death.

Nux looked into its eyes and threw a fireball toward it. Of course, he wasn't trying to hurt it with it, he just didn't want to give him time to rest, even a second.

While the bear dodged the fireball, Nux's figure blurred; the bear knew that Nux was too fast for him and he couldn't block his attacks very well, so he directly covered its wounded neck with its paws.

"Hmph! In the end, you are just a brainless beast." Nux then appeared right in front of it as he stabbed his sword right through its heart.

Nux was merciless with his moves, even though he understood that now that he pierced its heart, he won't live for long. He still activated his Earth Fist and punched its nose continuously.

*Bam*

A few seconds later, he retrieved his sword and the bear's huge body finally fell to the ground.

[Ding]

[3-star beast Killed]

[Reward: 5 System points]

[Earth Affinity: +5]

Nux felt overjoyed.

It was a 3-star beast! A beast that can rival and even defeat a normal Master Rank Cultivator and he defeated it without a scratch!

He has indeed grown stronger.

However, he didn't get complacent, he had a big advantage in this fight since he was the one who attacked first and dealt with so much damage.

He will now take on a 3-star beast one on one and later, he will fight a group of beasts, just like the wolf pack his first party members encountered a few days ago, alone.

…

Five days later, Nux sat on top of a huge rock, breathing heavily. Even after wiping it, again and again, the traces of beasts' blood on his face still weren't gone.

Although he wasn't injured since he had Recovery Potions, the same can't be said about his armour.

The original thick looking silver armour had many dents on it. There were many deep cuts on it as well, although there were no holes, these deep cuts weren't any different from them either.

After washing his face, and getting rid of the blood scent, Nux changed his position again and directly lay down on the ground. He was very tired…

He just fought three 3 star beasts alone. That was the reason why his armour was damaged. Or else, even when fighting with a 3-star beast accompanied by some lower-level beasts, he didn't face many problems.

Of course, he gained a lot from this fight.

His sword technique rose to the peak level small achievement stage.

'The harder you fight, the more you grow…'

Thinking that he glanced in the direction of the inner area of the Wilderness.

'A 4-star beast… I should be able to defeat them…'

Nux smiled inwardly before he stood up and returned to his temporary base and called off the day early.

If he was going to do what he was thinking to do, he needs to rest well and do it when he is at his peak.

…

The next day, Nux woke up and stepped into the inner area.

Three-star beasts were the weakest here, he has just walked into the area and could already see a group of five 3 star beasts sitting together.

Nux walked further and before long, he found his target.

[Fiery Flame Lion]

[Cultivation: 4 Star Beast.]

[LVL: 43]

[HP: 210/430]

[STR: 56]

[AGL: 59]

[VIT: 52]

[STM: 58]

[DEF: 55]

…

A beast with the same size as the lion, but its aura was a lot stronger; its mane was covered with flames which gave off an imposing look.

Nux used the same old tactic, activating his Steps Of Gale, he appeared behind the lion and slashed his sword.

This time, however, the beast sensed his attack and moved a little. The attack which should have hit its neck only grazed its shoulder.

Nux was surprised, not because the beast sensed it but because the damage his attack caused was very low. It was like a deep scratch.

"Roar!"

The lion attacked with its paws, Nux tried to defend it with his sword but,

*Clang*

His sword broke.

'Fuck! I am doomed!'

Author's Note: Okay, I know some of you might think that mc is weak since he couldn't even defeat a beast that has lower stats than him, but you have to understand that he has very low-level equipments.

A 2-star sword can't hurt a 4-star beast.

His best skill is only a 2-star sword skill. While the rest of the skills are even worse. Mc is strong, okay? If he had a better sword, he could defeat the beast easily.

If your question is that how can a beast be so strong without a weapon or whatever?

Then please understand that they have their claws, teeth etc as weapons and they are definitely better than a 2-star sword.

Also, remember he has only been here for around 30 days, he can't become a Mr. know it all with such a limited amount of time.

So please bear with it, next time, you will see mc defeating opponents whose stats are even higher than his.

Thank you <3
