VALLEY OF THE BEAST

P.O.V. HYAKKI

AHH AHHH

I used to much magic I'm tired. That new spell used up all my mana and my stamina, now since I have a moment to breath, let's see the shop.

When I opened the window of the shop I saw on one conner that I had 800 coins, on the side there was kind of list like potion, armor, weapon, and so on. I first went to potion part, I don't have much coins so let's be carefull.

In the end I bought 3 healinfg potion, 3 mana potion and 2 stamina potion. I serched in the store for a bit to see if there was something else that I could need but nothing came. i closed the shop and went to the stat. I still have 16 point to use. After a bit of thinking I decided.

[MP:1050/1050]

[EXP:10/1500]

After I recover some energy I went straight, on the way I found more animal but I was able to beat them more easily, increasing my exp of little

[EXP:25/1500]

after some more walking i started to feel a sensation a huge animal instint. then from the sky descended a strange creature, it was different from the other beast, it had the face of lion the body of maybe a rhino the legs of tiger a snake for tails and a pair of eagle wings. He then roared at me I was really scared. What the hell is this thing

[THE BOSS OF THE DUNGEON APPEARED]

~KING OF THE VALLEY: CHIMERA ~

A FUCKING CHIMERA...Ok Liam calm down you can do it. I readied my sword poiting it at the boss. the beast went directly to me but since he big is much slower than I expected. I rolled to the right escaping his first attack, the creature tried to attack me with one of his paws but I escaped his attack by going underneat him, then I thrusted my sword in his stomach but I was only able to make a small cut. The chimera jumped awy upon feeling the cut.

Ok the skin doesn't seem as hard as I though, maybe I can do this. The beast came charging toward me again, I was ready to parry his claw but then I was pushed by the side against the ground.

THUD

[HP:1005/1100]

I look to side to see the snake tails of the creature bitting on it. I quickly used my sword to cut it off. luckly I had my armor on if not I would have taken a bigger damege. The chimera screamed and retreated a little, the monster started to move his wings and take of the skyes (he trying to make it hard for me to damege it). Well it won't work, I never tried to do an air battle before but there no other way.

[WINGS OF THE DEMON]

I made my wings apear from my backs and quickly charged at monster. Then I saw the monster prepare to attack as well, then the monster opened his mouth and fire came out of it directly towards me, I was able to escape it by flying higher (Shit, I need to think something fast!) my sword did little damge to his skin, I don't have any experience of air battles and the shadow spike is useless in the air...Wait now i remember. In video games the warrior could enchage their weapon with magic maybe, I can do the same with my fire magic.

I start to make appear the fire on the hand that held the sword, then I started to channel the magic on the blade, the fire covered the blade quicly it worked. Now let's try to released with one slash

SWING

[NAME: FIRE SLASH]

[GRADE: E]

[PROPHECY: 0%/100%]

[DESCRIPTION: THE CASTER CAN CREATE SLASH ATTACKS FOR LONG DISTANCE ATTACKS MADE OF FIRE.]

I didn't hit it compleatly because he eveaded it. But I was able to cut one of his legs. The beast screamed in pain then it launched itself at me, I evaded the attack by manuvring behind him. Still with my fire sword did another [FIRE SLASH] cutting both of his wings. As the beast was falling I reached his stomach and thrusted my flame sword, his skin is harder then I first though so I put all my strengs in it to make it make pass. "Grhhh....AHHHHHHHH"

THUD!!!!

[DING]

[MP:1040/1050]

[EXP:525/1500]

"Huff...Huff...Fucking...Huff...Finnaly...It's finnished" I was breathing with difficulty as I was sitting on ground tired from killing the boss monster as his body gliched away. When my breath stabilazied I took 1 stamina potion, after drinking it I felt better but the taste wasn't great (I hope I don't get used to it) Finnaly the red screen from the system appeared.

[DING]

[BONUS REWARD: TITLE ~THE BEAST SLAYER~]

[TITLE: BEAST SLAYER]

[EFFECT: IT WILL GIVE THE HOST A BONUS IN STR AND AGI OF +5 WHEN FAICING ANIMAL/BEAST ENEMY]

A title I never expected to receive one. I wonder if it works with the rouge demon, Aurora described them as mindless beast maybe...

Putting that aside, I check the inventory to see what this item was, when I found it I immediatly equiped it. Both my arms were covered with a kind of guantle that reached the elbow, they were made of a mixture of animal skin and metal at the top of finger were pointed as if they were claws then I looked at the information screen from the system.

[NAME: GUANTLE-CLAW OF THE CHIMERA]

[GRADE: E]

[EFFECT: +2 STR.]

[DESCRIPTION: GUANTLE MADE FROM THE CLAW OF THE CHIMERA BOSS AND A MIXTURE OF SOME METAL.]

Well I couldn't expect much from an E grade item. I start to hear some sound and I turn around to see a portal appearing that may be the exit. I enter throug the portal and when i went out I was on the same room I was before entering.

"LIAM, finnaly you have returned I was worried" Before I could register anything I was caugh in a bone-crushing hug, if the chimera couldn't kill me then this hug would. "Sis I-I c-an't b-br-reath." She then relesed me from the hug while apologezing, "How much time as passed since I went trough it?" I asked her "about 40 minutues" she answered. Well yea almost an hour seems to much, I apologized to her, then I told her of what appened inside the dungeon I even showed her the 2 skill I got and she seemed very happy from the result "So Liam, What level are now?" She asked me and I answered to her quicly "level 7" she then started to grin "That's good. Now you are ready to partecipate to the hunt with us" Finally, now I can level up more easily.

After that I returned at my home, were I greeted my parents got a shower and straigh collapsed on the bed, I didn't have any energy anymore the day was to tiring so I went directly to sleep, waiting for the next day.
