47 - Combat genius

- Christmas? Are you from the clan of patriarch Klaus? - Asked Karou, he watched the young man with curious eyes. The young man had a common appearance and was quite different from Patriarch Klaus, who had a long beard and white hair.

- Yes, he is my Father! - Gift spoke loudly, he was nervous, Karou's previous presentation showed that the young man in front of him was at a much higher level than his. Most importantly, the beast on his shoulder spoke

"Only a beast on the Dragon level can speak ..." He thought with admiration and a little fear. "This young man must be formidable, I must not offend him.

- Your father? I met him, his snow technique was interesting ... - Karou spoke sincerely, he found the technique very interesting, but for Gift it sounded very different.

"Interesting? Just that." Everyone Gift found called his Father's Technique something surreal or incredible. However, the young man in front of him just found it interesting.

- You who are a young master must have already participated in a clan war, right?

- Clan Wars? Yes, I participated a few times, why?

- Could you observe my Jutsu and say if I have any chance of winning?

"..."

- I will continue on my way, sorry for the mess. - Karou took the body of the Sound Yeti with one hand and jumped to a nearby tree, before he left he spoke. - Try to master the Ice, it seems that you are very talented in this regard.

As soon as he spoke, Karou started skipping through the trees carrying the body of the Sound Yeti. Gift was looking at a crater on the ground, dozens of meters in self-contemplation.

What happened? Young master? Weren't you going to ask how he got on the hunting ground? - The servant was doubtful as he approached his Master near the crater.

- Let's go back to the Clan ... - Despite saying little, Karou left a mark on Gift. "He was not arrogant, he read me easily, and that technique ..."

Gift got ready and turned around, as soon as he returned he would start training with ice techniques.

- Master are you all right? ... - The servant asked with a little fear knowing his master's arrogant personality.

- Yes, I've never been better!

"..."

Karou looked at the system screen and just continued on his way, not caring too much.

- Which beast will I face now?

- I still cannot classify your total strength, your technique of increasing power should be limited, but it becomes stronger with you, I have never seen such a thing. - Hebi spoke of the 8 gates, one of Karou's main techniques.

- That technique opens the limits of my body, as I train it becomes easier to open the gates, even so it still wears my body a lot, no matter what level I reach.

- Still it is surreal, imagine one of the untouchable Overlords with a technique that increases the strength and speed of someone at least 5 times, they would be true gods among us. - Said Hebi, he did not believe that a technique like that existed.

Karou just smiled at the snake, which made an expression that he thought was impossible for a snake to do.

- What's the next beast?

- Let me think, I know… this is going to be an interesting fight…

"..."

Karou was now on top of a lake, his active Sharingan moving at high speed, following the movements of a shadow below him.

- I know I asked for beasts close to my level, but that's impossible! - Karou shouted while not taking his eyes off the monster below him.

- You need to learn to deal with any situation, it is not just a matter of being the strongest, in a battle everything can change.

- I understand, but this ...

As soon as Karou lost his concentration for a second the being below him attacked, the being was surrounded by green scales, had a wide forward mouth with sharp teeth, the creature looked like a mixture between a shark and an alligator.

In addition to the strange appearance, he had another ability ...

Karou felt a force pulling him straight to the animal's mouth, that increased the weight of his entire body, fighting on top of the water was already a difficult task, against a resistant monster that still managed to pull him down was even worse.

- Deep Shark, the only beast on the Great Warrior level capable of handling gravity. In the water he has the ability to kill even Captain monsters.

- My physique is only at the level of a Great Fighter, how do you expect me to defeat him?

- Turn around ... - The snake said that hissing its tongue in happiness. He saw Karou make an expression that he thought no human would be capable of.

Karou jumped into the water, taking distance from the monster, he needed concentration, so creating clones was not an option. The monster lived inside the lake, so fire was also not accessible.

He could open a gate, but that would only make their physique similar, Karou was thinking of another option.

The beast continued to rotate Karou, its attack pattern was simple, to wait for an opening to jump, out of the water aiming at Karou and pulling it into its mouth with its control over gravity.

Soon, Karou analyzed the fighting style of the beast and its attack patterns with his Sharingan, Karou formulated a quick plan and waited for the opportunity.

This time Karou pulled out his sword that he hadn't used in a long time.

- Never mind the sword, if you can't hit Karou! - Hebi said, but Karou ignored him completely.

Hebi hissed his tongue, he was happy. "The game is over, now I'm going to see how he really fights…"

Hebi had chosen Karou as his master because he had the same system as his former owner. However, Karou had something about him that the snake couldn't quite say what it was.

The fight against the Sound Yeti showed Hebi that Karou had some strength, but now she wanted to see if he really was a warrior.

The shark jumped out of the water, at which point Karou moved. He placed the sword in front of his body and did not move, the shark jumped high and pulled Karou.

Karou clung to the water with as much force as he could, as soon as the shark reached a certain height Karou simply broke free of the water.

- Karou, you're crazy! - Hebi shouted, even though she was a much stronger beast she was not able to survive after being chewed alive.

Karou continued to ignore, his body was pulled by the shark, in mid-air he changed his body, placing his sword in the front and extending like a spear towards the shark.

With one bite Karou was swallowed together with Hebi whole, as soon as it fell into the water a pool of blood appeared, with the dead beast. A few seconds later, Karou tore it from the inside, leaving the animal unharmed, but completely dirty with his guts.

- You are crazy? Jumping into the monster, was that your brilliant plan ?!

- It seemed like the best option, look on the bright side, we're already in the water, let's take a shower! - Karou said sarcastically while laughing at the snake that hissed its tongue dissatisfied with the unpleasant smell of fish and guts.

Although on the outside he looked angry on the inside Hebi was jumping with joy, "He's a real combat genius! I didn't even think about it."
