The Northern area of the Jasper forest.

The group kept walking till they managed to reach the periphery of the Guro tribe. Seeing that they had finally reached somewhere to rest, the group relaxed a lot and put down their guard.

After about five minutes, they reached the entrance and went inside the tribe with Guro leading them.

Once inside, they saw a burly looking orc coming out of a man made house to greet them.

"Nice to see you alive, boss. How was the fight? Did you kill the Goblin queen?"

Hearing his question, Guro's face turned sour. The other two leaders who had mostly recovered from their injuries had also become depressed.

"No, we have failed. The Goblin queen escaped. Now, in order to save ourselves from her we will have to go outside in search for more allies in order to fight against her and the ogres."

"What?" The orc was stunned, but he didn't question Guro any further.

"Um...Good luck boss." The orc said with blind confidence. Anyway, he didn't know anything about what was going on, so why not let these big guys handle everything? His only mission is to protect the tribe from invaders.

"Hm, you can go back." Ordered Guro, which the orc acknowledged before leaving.

After coming inside, Ben sat beside a hut before opening his system interface.

[Universal beast system]

[Owner: Ben clarckson]

[Ability: Flame thrower(Dark red) (+), Mana corrosion, Camouflage]

[Skill: Basic physical skills, Unnamed]

[System ability: Absorb Urja, Language translator]

[Urja level: 550=2000]

[Power level:1100=4000]

[Subordination limit: 5]

[System mission: Conquer the Jasper forest.]

[Time limit: Two months(3 and a half week passed]

[Reward : A useful ability]

[Creation function:]

[Created Abilities: Flame thrower, Mana corrosion, Camouflage]

[Created Skills: Unnamed]

[Subordinates: Bob(Mana blast) Job( Spirit control) Elkrad(Double hit)]

He tapped on his newly created skill and ability.

[Camouflage]: Using Mana to assimilate within the surroundings as mana particles.

The function of this ability can be differentiated into two parts:

1. Converting Urja into Mana particles.

2. Assimilating the mana particles into its surroundings to achieve an invisible status.

So, in this ability Ben's urja would firstly be created into mana particles before it assimilates within the mana particles that are naturally present in the surroundings. With this, Ben would become one with the mana particles that are naturally present in the surroundings.

Hence, achieving the effect of invisibility. Those who can sense mana would only perceive Ben as a Mana particle in the air, while those who cannot sense any Mana, they will naturally not be able to see Ben as well.

[Unnamed]: Using touch as a medium to send a strand of urja inside the opponent. This strand of Urja will quickly disturb the mana circulation of the opponent. (Some could even die from the disturbance).

This ability is something that Ben figured out when he saw Job's ability in the past. Sending mana inside the opponent's body to destroy them! Ben copied this trait from her ability.

'Hm...I should name it something….like….Death by finger?...no.'

"Alright, I will call this 'Touch of death' . That sounds a bit better."

[[Creation function:]

[Created Abilities: Flame thrower, Mana corrosion, Camouflage]

[Created Skills: Touch of death]

Touch of death can be controlled, but it is very difficult for ben to do it as it is just a strand of urja we're talking about! Ben doesn't have such a good concentration yet.

Tough, if he used his system as a catalyst, then the ability could be controlled, like the duration in which the strand will disturb the opponent's mana circulation.

Ben only used a strand because it will be difficult for others or even powerful beings to sense something of such a small quantity.

…..

Just like this, three days passed. Ben, Guro, Bor and the frost snake with their respective subordinates started travelling towards the northern area of this forest. The northern area was ruled by the Earth bears.

Excluding Ben, everyone thought that they were going there in the hopes of inviting the earth bears as allies in order to fight against the Ogres and the Goblin queen.

Some time passed, Bob, Job, Bolzark, Elkrad had unnecessarily killed many creatures along the way, which managed to frighten the others, but they didn't say anything to Ben.

Time passed, the group had already passed through the dirty, mud filled area of the orcs and entered the border area of the north.

In this border area, there were many trees that had bear skins on its branches.

Looking at this, Ben asked doubtfully.

"Is this place really the area of the Earth Bears?"

"Yes, it is their area, I've heard that these bears cut out the skins of their deceased tribe members before putting them on various tree branches. I think it is their way of showing respect for the dead." Answered the leader of the frost snake tribe, whose name was frenin.

Ben looked at his mission time limit and saw that only one month was left.

"Alright, let me go inside first. I will check out the area before coming back."

After saying this, he didn't wait for any response and left quickly. Others could only stay there helplessly.

Bor and the frost snake frenin turned their heads towards Guro. Seeing that he doesn't have any opinion, the other two also stayed silent.

…..

After coming inside, Ben started sprinting and rapidly approached a tiny looking one horned rabbit, who was peacefully chewing on fresh leaves.

Suddenly seeing a ferocious looking beast pouncing towards him, the rabbit was shocked with fear. He wanted to run away, but Ben was too fast!

Ben slammed the rabbit to the ground with his right paw, and locked it between his sharp claws.

"I am sorry! Please let me go!"

"If you don't want to die, then tell me the location of the strongest bear tribe of this area."

"Yes! Yes! I will tell you! But please let me go!"

Ben nodded, satisfied with the rabbit's submissive attitude. "Alright, Take me there."

With this, a small one horned rabbit and a unique looking beast started their journey towards greatness! Or so everyone thought…

Ben shook his head to get rid of these useless thoughts.

After a few hours of walking, both of them appeared near a large clearing. Ben was hiding behind a large tree while observing the place ahead.

A large lake appeared before his eyes, which was flowing from the right direction. Beside the river, many brown coloured bears could be seen trying to catch some water creatures from the river.

There were around 20 bears standing in line beside the river. A large bear was present among them. It was standing on its hind legs so from Ben's estimation, the bear could be around 2.4 metres in height. Others would barely reach 1.9 metres while standing.

"Is that the leader?" Asked Ben.

"No, he is not the leader, but a powerful protector of the tribe." Answered the one horned rabbit with a fearful expression.

"Hm, tell me the location of their tribe?"

"It should be a bit ahead of this river. You will reach their tribe after walking for a few minutes towards the forward direction of this river."

"Okay…"

After knowing where their tribe was, a plan started forming inside Ben's head.

...

On the other side of the river, the bears caught many unique looking fishes before the huge bear decided that it was enough, and ordered for everyone to go back.

The other earth bears after hearing his order stopped and went back together with him. What they didn't notice was that someone was sneakily following behind them.

After a few minutes of walking, they reached a small-sized hill which had many visible caves.

These caves were naturally made by these bears to reside here as this small hill was closer to the river.

The huge bear came before a visibly larger sized cave entrance and called out respectfully.

"We have caught a lot of fish today."

Hearing his voice, some noises appeared from inside the cave before an even larger earth Bear came out from the entrance!

'Damn! His size is around the level of an adult elephant!' Exclaimed Ben. He was currently standing beside a tree. He didn't use camouflage yet as he didn't know the capabilities of this earth bear.

They were saying something, but Ben couldn't hear them properly as he was a bit far away from them. Though he didn't care much about their conversation.

"Alright, let's hunt some bears today." After saying this, Ben suddenly disappeared from his position.
