Chapter 6: Face Your Fears

<<Polar Hippogriff>>

<<Rank D>>

"What the hell, Rank D?" Tahara yelled.

"This rank is stronger than even Chijimatsu Eijiro himself," Tahara said.

The beast then ran towards Tahara and opened its jaws.

"That was a close call, if not I would have died," Tahara said.

"What do I do?" Tahara asked.

The beast then raced towards Tahara at full speed.

"Think! Think!" Tahara said as he began to slap himself hard.

The moment the beast got close to Tahara, he used his leg to kick the beast's jaw as the beast went flying.

"What did I just do?" Tahara asked as he stood there looking confused.

Beep

[Notice]

<<Mana was inbued in your leg.>>

"Mana!" Tahara said.

The beast then got up as its jaw was left hanging.

"I've broken its jaw, but that's not enough," Tahara said.

Tahara then decided to kick the beast one more time, but then the beast dodged and tore off one of Tahara's arm

"Argh, my arm," Tahara yelled.

The beast then spat out Tahara's arm as if it was a bone, it had finished chewing.

I can't do anything with just one arm

Tahara then remembered that during his training, he received a reward.

"Inventory!" Tahara said.

Inventory Available

Tahara then noticed that he had just the Ring of Mordor and the Faithkeeper.

"Withdraw Faithkeeper," Tahara said.

The Faithkeeper then appeared on the screen as Tahara began to remove it.

The beast then raced towards Tahara ready to strike the finishing blow.

Tahara withdrew the Faithkeeper and then sliced the Polar Hippogriff into two

[Attack: +10]

[Notice]

<<You have defeated the Polar Hippogriff>>

[Notice]

<<You have leveled up>>

"I've levelled up just now?" Tahara asked himself.

"I thought Inventory was for just making items," Tahara said.

Soon, more Polar Hippogriffs appeared behind Tahara.

I'm an F-Rank swordsman

This is my first kill.

I don't have to fear anymore

The Polar Hippogriff then came running towards Tahara as he also raced towards them.

"This is now or never," he said.

Tahara was able to kill both Polar Hippogriffs

Leveled Up!

Leveled Up!

Leveled Up!

I'm not called a swordsman for anything, Tahara said as he wiped the blood off his sword with his shirt.

Soon, more and more Polar Hippogriffs appeared.

"It's snowing here and it's cold out here, but that doesn't stop me from finishing you guys," Tahara said.

Tahara said as he raced towards them and started slicing them off.

One of the Polar Hippogriffs then got hold of Tahara's sword and started to open its jaws to eat Tahara.

"A death like this," Tahara said as he got hold of his sword once more.

"Doesn't mean anything to me," he said as he sliced the beast's head.

After the continued slicing of the beasts, one after the other until none was remaining.

Leveled Up!

Leveled Up!

Leveled Up!

Leveled Up!

[Stats]

[Strength: 20]

"Hmmm, my strength seems to increase by 10," Tahara said.

"Looks like killing off beasts is just my thing for a swordsman," Tahara said as he began to rest for a bit.

Soon, something shiny caught Tahara's attention.

"What's that?" Tahara asked as he picked it up.

[Item: Polar Hippogriff Tooth]

It can either be sold or kept for future purposes

"I can sell it," Tahara said.

"How much!" Tahara said.

250 ¥

"Sell," Tahara said.

[Polar Hippogriff Tooth Sold]

Amount: 250¥

"Still the portal hasn't closed which means more beasts are still out there," Tahara said as he began to move.

[Title: Hippogriff Slayer]

Thanks tO the new title you have received, you have gained 20% experience in Hippogriffs

"So far, I've got a sword and the Ring of Mordor," Tahara said.

Tahara then continued his journey in the woods as more and more beasts started approaching.

Qheqrotar

Hissing sounds, Screeching sounds, and Clacking sounds of their jaws

"This spider has screeching sounds as well," Tahara said as multiple Qheqrotar came together and began to screech.

Tahara used his hand to block his ears to prevent his ears from damaging.

"I need to take care of these spiders if not, I'll die here," he said.

Tahara then run and took care of the Qheqrotar and the Polar Hippogriff.

I now understand white stands for weak, orange for strong, and red for very strong

"This means, all the Hippogriffs and the Qheqrotar I've been facing were all white and orange," Tahara said.

Tahara then continued his journey as he reached deeper inside the woods and then paused.

"I sense something, something dangerous," Tahara said.

Notice

Sense: 20

"The aura appearing deep in the woods is strong," Tahara said.

Soon, something fast same to hit Tahara as he went flying and hit a tree.

"What the hell was that?" he asked.

Tahara then got up and saw a beast standing before him.

"A Demon, no that's, that's..." Tahara stood there as he dropped his sword.
