(From MC's perspective)
This ti, when the snake monster dashed towards , I used a black dagger to counter attack. And when the snake monster inched closer towards , it opened its fangs to bite .
Seeing that, I moved at full speed. When the monster was inches away from , I side stepped enough to avoid its frontal attack. At the sa ti, I gripped the dagger and made a vertical slash at the snake.
CLANG small tallic sound resonated when the blade touched the scales.
Seeing that, my expression hardened further. How am I supposed to fight this thing? The next second, I moved away from the spot without further ado.
Only after a certain distance from the snake monster, I turn back. Then I stared at the black dagger in my hands. I realised the problem lay with my dagger. It was a basic-quality product.
It's normal that I can't use it against this powerful monster. What to do? Without a proper weapon, I can't even cause an injury, forget about killing it.
SIGH
If I use the dagger again, it will shatter soon. I don't want to use my only weapon at this ti. I'm starting to regret my lack of preparation. At least I should have bought life-saving items before coming here.
There is no dicine for regret. By this ti, the snake monster had launched another round of attacks. Seeing that, I started to think about a suitable escape plan.
I vaguely noticed Monster's speed was beginning to slow down. It was not as agile as before. Obviously, previous consumption is starting to take a toll.
It would only make things worse if the snake monster continued to move with its huge abdon. Then the stamina of the monster will continue to reduce.
My eyes glead with surprise as I thought about a suitable plan. When the snake monster's stamina reduces, I will use that opportunity to slip away from this place.
Ti passes,
I continued to exert the gravitational field. But every ti, I didn't fight the monster head on. My motive is to make the snake monster continue to move.
Every ti the snake monster uses its speed to chase , it slowly loses its stamina. And from ti to ti, I checked the Monster's current status.
And I noticed a significant drop in stamina points. But it didn't give
any sense of satisfaction. because my consumption also increased greatly. So it's impossible for
to continue to carry this fight.
So I decided to wait for the monster's stamina to drop further.
Ti passes,
When I noticed the snake monster's stamina points dropped below 40, I imdiately dispelled my gravity magic and escaped from this spot at full speed.
This sudden change caught the snake monster off guard. It wants to chase its human prey, but due to a drop in stamina. The snake monster couldn't move forward.
Finally, after seeing the disappearing back of its prey, the snake monster gave up the desire to chase and it rushed back to the bushes where it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At the sa ti, after fleeing so distance, I stopped running and looked backwards to see if there was any sign of the snake monster.
A few seconds later, "Phew!" I breathed in relief after seeing no trace of the monster. Then I found a suitable place nearby to sit and relax.
Sitting on the huge rock, I started to recall the fight with the snake monster. This little episode showed
the strength of the interdiate first order monster.
A quick glint flashes in my eyes.
I guess the snake monster's combat power was more or less similar to the top 3 wizards. I know about 3rd and 4th rank wizards. Their combat power might be lower compared to the snake monster.
But when it cos to 1st and 2nd rank. I'm not sure, but I have a vague feeling that they might be slightly stronger than the snake monster.
stronger than interdiate 1st order monsters. Which ans their attributes might be higher than 50. This is just an assumption, but it's really terrifying to think it might be possible.
This thought alone made
realise the seriousness of this matter. I'm seriously underestimating the combat strength of the top 2 Wizards.
If the two wizards were really that strong, then their talent must have been at least top grade. At this ti, I'm happy that I didn't voluntarily offend anyone.
I'll have to lay low for at least a few months. Unless my attributes reach above 40, I won't think about confronting the top 2 wizards.
After gaining so clarity in my thoughts, my heart eases down a little bit. Then I raised my head to see ahead.
A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes.
Should I continue my plan or forfeit it? Obviously, my lack of preparation and my previous confrontation with a snake monster made
rethink my plans.
If I ca across another similar monster, it would be difficult to escape. Considering my low mana reserve right now, I have to say it's an even harder ti escaping alive.
SIGH
I let out a deep sigh. I never thought I would make an amateur mistake. After contemplating for a few minutes, I made a firm decision. I decided to drop my plan of visiting the wide plains.
I'm going to look for half order monsters and first order monsters below interdiate strength. At least in this way, I can collect enough crystal gems.
The next second, I started to make my way back to the edge. I decided to resu my hunt in the hilly ranges.
Ti passes,
A few hours later, I reached the huge shade tree. which I had visited the previous ti. After getting close, I couldn't help but take so rest under the shade of this large tree.
Then I looked at my spoils. Fortunately, I encountered a few half-ordered monsters on my way back. And this ti, I didn't damage the corpse. Apart from the crystal gems, the flesh of the monsters can also fetch
good money.
After taking a quick glance at it, I raised my head to see the hilly peaks ahead. So far, I haven't co across any evidence of first-order monsters.I hope it won't be the case tomorrow.
In a few hours, it's going to be dawn. It's better to find a safe place to spend the night.
…
Police headquarters,
Investigation departnt head's cabin,
Wizard Billy Woods looked at the person in front of him. It's none other than, battle hall departnt head, Dale Berg.
Both of them looked into each other's eyes. But none of them said anything.
Dale Berg sighed inwardly, because the interrogation with Leon Willy didn't end well. They thought they could get all the information from Leon Willy's mouth.
But who would have thought Leon Willy's physique would worsen after coming into contact with the pain magic? It went out of everyone's expression.
In the end, they could gain only a little information. The number of powerhouses in Poison Dagger in particular. According to him, there were two other level-4 wizards beside him at the poison dagger.
Currently, one of them is out of the country. It's been a long ti since he last contacted the poison dagger. So that leaves the other one, Kilian Hoffer, the bug mage.
And they have nurous reports of this person. He was partially involved in Tyler Dixon's accident. Without his support, Leon Willy wouldn't have had the ti to continue the fight against Tyler Dixon.
But unfortunately, after spilling a few beans, Leon Willy fell unconscious. And they have found that his body has been deteriorating gradually.
This sudden situation caught them off guard. In a few days, they have to transfer Leon Willy to the capital. But it's difficult to say he will survive until then.
The atmosphere remained silent for a mont.
Dale Berg couldn't co up with a suitable solution. He looked at Billy Woods for so answers. But he was embarrassed to ask openly. Because he dragged Wizard Billy into this sh!t.
If he had minded his own business, this wouldn't have happened.
On the other hand, Wizard Billy snorted coldly, seeing his expressions. Because of Dale Berg, everyone has now fallen into deep sh!t.
Who is going to be responsible for Leon Willy's condition? Obviously, the wizards from the capital will point their finger at two of them. And when it cos to Eva, she was actually obeying her superior's order. So higher ups won't punish her.
Right now, two of them have to worry about themselves.
Ever since he left the prison cell, he had been racking his brain to find so answers. There is no possible explanation for Leon Willy's sudden health deterioration.
When he captured him, he knew that Leon Willy's health was not this bad. Is that pain magic responsible for his health deterioration? He is not sure about that.
Only healers can find so answers. They only had the wizard Mictchell in this building, and he didn't have the authority to check Leon Willy's health condition.
None of them reported anything back to the capital. But it will be known at the ti of the transfer. Wizard Billy's expression turned ugly. He doesn't know what consequences they are going to face if the matter is known to higher ups.
