Chapter 6

When I rushed towards them I fired Arrows, javelins and spears made by water and fire elements.

I know they are looking for me, but the one that spotted me hiding was the monster. It quickly used it`s spiked tail to strike the tree that I am hiding.

"You`re a smart one aren't you?"

I did not mind the people behind me. I quickly used analyze to the monster in front of me.

{Forest Nargacuga}

Level: 180

The monster I am facing right now has black scale, black fur and red eyes. It resembles a lot of a black panther. It has razor sharp wings and spiked tail.

{Ryu? Its weakness is fire and lightning, it can't fly but it uses its wings to glide and increase it`s speed.}

I quickly understand and rushed towards the monster. It rushed to me as well. It was jumping side to side while approaching me, it was leaving feint red trail from its eyes when it sprinted.

"His fast and looks awesome too"

{Now is not the right time to compliment an enemy idiot!}

The monster leaped towards me, but my speed was fast as well because of the monster I absorbed lately.

I sled on the ground, the monster`s stomach area was in front of me, I quickly unsheathe my dual sword and slashed to its belly, then I distance myself right away.

"Fire javelin!"

It hit the monster perfectly, the monster roared so loud, maybe it`s because of the effectiveness of my fire attack.

{Ryu, I have further analyze the monster, its weakness is by producing a large sound, that monster will get stunned for a while}.

I quickly shouted towards the soldiers that was staring at me, I asked them to produce a large sound, they did not say anything or refuse. They used their weapons to produce a large sound,

The monster vigorously shaking its head, when I notice it was stunned. I quickly leap towards it then slashed my dual swords to its body.

I don't know why, the soldiers that was staring at me. Their mouth was wide open, I asked system what happened.

{It`s because your attack speed is monstrous, the way you slashed your sword right now was leaving afterimages}

The monster was stunned for about 4 seconds, I notice that it has lowly regained its posture, I immediately leap backwards.

{Ryu! be careful! The monster is switching to rage mode!}

It quickly rushed towards me, it was using it`s claws to attack, I manage to dodge it but a spiked tail

followed up, luckily I intercepted it with my dual sword in a cross form.

I was thrown away by the monster, my feet touched the ground while sliding backwards, leaving a trail, I used my sword to support my body while I was kneeling.

{Ryu, barrage him with your fire type attacks then use your kunais to paralyze some parts of its body!}

"Fire arrow!"

"Fire spear!"

"Fire javelin!"

"Fire arena!"

I simultaneously cast my skills.

One of the soldiers shouted (Jehanne! Princess! Step back!). Maybe he is the captain.

I trapped the monster inside in the fire arena. The ground where I was standing was imbued by black flames. I notice that the soldiers were staring at me without even blinking their eyes.

The monster inside the arena is howling, maybe it`s very painful. It suffered so much. I extinguish the fire around me using my water element, it caused thick smoke. It was a pain to my eyes.

When the smoke vanished, I clearly see the monster, It`s face is broken and its wings too. I approached it but it slowly stepped 2 times backwards while it`s movements is limping. I pitied the monster so I used one large fire spear and struck it`s heart.

"It's time to end your suffering, go and rest now".

Finally it died, falling sideways that caused a slight after shock.

{Ryu, congratulations. Your muscles are now flexible like the {Forest Nagarcuga} and you have also reached level 197, your affinity and resistance to poison, fire and lightning increased as well.}

I gained the lightning element, adding the experience points, plus the increase of the affinities and resistance. It is music to my ears.

The people around me were clapping while cheering. I sheathe my dual swords and approached them.

"Are you all okay? Is anybody hurt? (How about that system?)"

{Not bad}

A black haired and brown eyed man who looks around 36 years old with a face that looks average, and a body that was heavily built approached me. He is the captain.

"My name is Gifardus, the captain of this soldiers, young hero, will you tell as your name?"

"My name is Ryu, Ryu Haruto"

"Ryu Haruto? What place where you born?"

I know his curious at it because of the structure of my name.

{Ryu, sometimes we have to lie.}

"I don't know where"

"Do you have any parents?"

I tilted my head and act as if I don't know his question "Parents? What are parents?" (Damn! I have never acted like this before!).

{Your acting skills are good, I salute you}.

I looked at Gifardus`s face, he was stunned by my answer. I knew it.

Wha-? No! Never mind".

I see a girl walking towards us.

She looks closely to 14-15 years old, her eyes is color green and her hair is blonde, she is a small, delicate and a graceful person, her height is, maybe 159 cm.

"Ryu Haruto right? My name is Erza the princess of Ephorian kingdom. I want to say thank you for saving us"

A princess?! In this dangerous place?! She bowed her head at me and her soldiers as well.

{Fufufu! Two beauties and they bowed at you, just wait when they see your face}

Gifardus asked me again.

"Ryu Haruto, why are you in this forest?"

"I am lost" what a lame reason!

"Lost? Is that it?" I understand why you`re always shock, sorry for my lame excuses.

"Ryu Haruto, I would like to give you rewards for saving us but we are still on our way to Ephorian kingdom and I can't give you anything for now".

It`s okay princess, your beautiful face is already part of my reward,

"Ryu Haruto, with your fighting abilities, we need your help to survive and to reach Ephoria Kingdom, we will pay you additional rewards" Gifardus said

I must ask them ""Is there an adventurer guild in your kingdom?"

"Oh?! Yes! There is" Gifardus answered me and continue to talk "So you want to become and adventurer, why? Your fighting abilities are better than me or I'm even just an ant to you".

"Nothing, It's what I want for now".

I see another woman, the color of her hair is jet black and the color of her eyes is black she looks around 17 years old with a beautiful face, her body shape is like an hour glass, she has a small waist and large size breasts and hips, her height was maybe 163 cm.

I can hear her whispering to Gifardus ""By the way? Why is he wearing a mask and a hood?"

"Jehanne, he is in born fighting, maybe his face have battle scars" I was annoyed by Gifardus`s answer, I quickly changed the topic "Can we rest for a while?"

"Yes, our soldiers are tired too" Erza replied

I immediately jumped on a thick branch of a tree and rest.
