Their fight has already been going on for a little less than an hour. In this fight, the summary is Joe got attacked frequently and he tried to dodge or run away. But it was the monkey who was losing the fight slowly. That is because every one among ten attacks of the monkey has a probability of triggering the vitality drain effect of Joe's Blue Cloak of Beginning.
When this effect activates, it will drain the monkey's vitality leaving it weakened. The monkey has no way to heal or defend itself against the vitality drain of Blue Cloak of Beginning. So it can only take damage passively.
However, that way it takes a long time for the damage to accumulate. The flaming monkey is stronger than Joe and it has tougher skin. This flaming monkey is too hard to kill.
"I can't die here to this monkey. I have to live on. I have so many things to do. I still haven't saved my sis and I still have to get revenge.", Joe murmured on his own.
The flaming monkey was injured as it could not use one of it's hand. But it could still spit out fire that can melt body. The beast was a level 7 monster after all. It had a lot of fight in it.
The fight continued.
The monkey beast chased after Joe and swung around his fist. It's flaming fist created a light beam of fire. The trees all burned from the rain of fist that missed Joe.
It was a good thing that Joe could use bling skill unlimited times. If it had no restrictions on the area this skill worked, then it would truly be a godly ability.
But Joe was still in trouble.
He could not get rid of this monkey's pursuit. Neither can he kill it. Running was the only option available now.
Although this monkey beast is level 7, it's not that strong. If Joe could increase his level by one, then he has confidence that he could defeat this monkey. Now the situation turned very dire for him.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have completed your first milestone objective."
"Ding! You have obtained Bumblebee x5."
The system spirit's digital voice sounded at this time.
"System spirit, what is this Bumblebee? ", Joe asked system spirit anxiously.
"Bumblebee is the reward for completing your first milestone objective. Before you ask, A milestone objective is something like a very difficult task. These tasks are normally not possible to complete. So whenever you complete a task like this, the system will reward you. But until you complete the task, you will never know what your milestone objective is. So you can't take initiative to pursue these objectives. You can only complete the task first unknowingly and then claim the reward afterwards. "
"This time you fought a beast of fatal class -level 7 for an hour whole without dying when you are only level 2. This is your first milestone objective : Fight a fatal class monster five level stronger than you without dying for at least an hour(Status : Completed)."
"System spirit, I want to know what is it's(Bumblebee) use? can it help me get out of my current predicament? ", Joe asked system spirit.
The system spirit replied in its usual digital voice without any emotion,"Bumblebee is a kind of stun grenade. You can stun and paralyze your enemy's body when it explodes. The effect depends on your opponents body strength."
"That's awesome. This came right on time." Joe's eyes flickered with surprise.
Fwoosh!
He quickly willed and a stick of dynamite materialized in his hand. This fat stick of dynamite is Bumblebee!?
Joe was bewildered but he still tossed it towards the monkey.
The flaming monkey saw the incoming projectile and felt that there was no danger so it just wanted to shove it away. But when the monkey came in touch with the Bumblebee, the Bumblebee exploded and released a mass of dark cloud. The flaming monkey thought Joe's attack failed. It felt happy and sneered at Joe smugly.
But the very next moment, it's smug face turned stiff and distorted in confusion.
The beast could not take a single step ahead.
Joe saw this and sprinted away. He didn't try to kick the monkey when it was down.
Because their fight has already drawn the attention of other beasts in the vicinity. Even if he kills the flaming monkey, he won't be able to get away from the hordes of beast that was drawn by their fight. These beasts were staying at a distance now because they were afraid of entering the flaming monkey's domain. If the flaming monkey died, the they will start fighting for this free domain.
Joe will be their prime target then.
Joe doesn't want to feel this kind of treatment. So when he was safe and ahead, he ran away instead of getting rid of the level 7 beast.
He used his bling skill and teleported to far away. This way he could travel a long distance within a few minutes.
After using bling a few times, he left the sensory perception of the flaming monkey?
He could hear the monkey's roar from the distance as he kept running
Finally, he was out. He came out of the clutches of death. He was panting after running so much.
"hah.. hahh.."
"This few days I trained and familiarized myself with my newfound power."
" I can again start traveling. I have to find my sis, save her and take revenge."
Joe started traveling again. He was alone. The world was vast, dangerous and full of uncertainty.
He desperately fought on and gained more life experience. He met many people, visited different places. Some made deep impression in his life while others were just passer-by. All this time he searched for his sis but his search didn't get him any result.
Like this six years passed in the blink of an eye,
12 years old kid, JOE, turned into a 18 years old young man.
