Taking advantage of the brief stun, Lay fired the fifth bullet toward the Elite Amaran.
However, the scene of the bullet hitting the monster's flesh didn't happen. And as soon as the Amaran woke up from the stun it launched a fierce counter-attack.
The Amarans tail suddenly glows as the monster pounces toward Hitman21. Unfazed by the progression of the battle, Lay took his time reloading his revolver.
Blood then splattered as Hitman21 was pushed back by the force of the attack. Thankfully, Lay was able to finish reloading the gun due to his high Agility.
Shifting his focus to the upper left corner of his view he noted that the attack scraped 1/3 of Hitman21's health. Lay didn't feel regret, however, if you hurt someone then you must be prepared for their payback.
Taking expected damage now is better than taking unexpected damage later because at the very least he had time to prepare himself.
With that in mind, Lay emptied another chamber as he quickly finished the fight.
Thanks to the knowledge he gained, Lay was able to steamroll the rest of his fights with other Level 5 Elite Amarans in Amaran Plains.
In the end, Hitman21 leveled up two more times before Lay had to go back to the village to empty his stock as his inventory reached its maximum capacity.
Reaching an NPC who gives out quests about Amarans, Lay submitted 10 of the monster's teeth, furs, and meat in exchange for the mission rewards.
Daily Quest: Amarans teeth
- Collect 10 Amaran teeth
Reward/s:
- 10 Bronze coins
- 100 XP
Daily Quest: Amarans fur
- Collect 10 Amaran fur
Reward/s:
- 10 Bronze Coins
- 100 XP
Daily Quest: Amarans meat
- Collect 10 Amaran meat
Reward/s:
- 10 Bronze Coins
- 100 XP
The rewards of the three quests totaled 30 Bronze coins and 300 XP. Afterward, Lay kept the materials from the Elite Amaran and 10 of the common ones' fur, teeth, and meat before selling the rest to the tailor, blacksmith, and chef respectively.
In the end, he earned a total of 90 Bronze coins or 90 cents in Alliance currency which is higher than the rate of his previous jobs.
Satisfied, Lay logged out immediately and prepared his dinner. Just like yesterday, he drinks coffee while waiting for his body to digest his food then did his exercise. Afterwards, he took a shower and then fell asleep.
