The kobold cave was filled with bones of various other animals and humans, indicating that they used to go hunting, but have recently been starving.
They’d rather go hungry than hunt in the forest, which ans there’s a much stronger presence around here.
At first glance, perhaps it’s this tiger.
Herag considered for a mont and decided to bypass the tiger while it hadn’t noticed him to avoid a direct confrontation.
Although it seed like he could handle it, there was a chance the tiger’s actual combat strength was formidable, and he didn’t need to take risks.
He had just arrived in this world, and everything needed to be approached cautiously.
As he was preparing to retreat and detour, he noticed soone approaching from afar, a teenager appearing about seventeen or eighteen years old.
...
Ed was the only exorcist in Falling Leaves Town, and at the young age of seventeen, he single-handedly protected this small town.
He lost all his family mbers during the war, and after wandering to Falling Leaves Town, he was discovered by an old exorcist who noticed Ed’s exorcist talent and took him as a disciple.
Three years ago, the old exorcist lost his life in a battle with a demon, leaving Ed with the heavy burden of protecting Falling Leaves Town.
Ed took up this responsibility without hesitation and actively protected everyone in the town.
When he was a child, he nearly starved to death, and it was the people of Falling Leaves Town who took him in and fed him.
For Ed, the residents of Falling Leaves Town were his family, a presence he must defend.
He glanced at the pitch-black longsword in his hand, his reliance and source of power.
Ed had demonstrated remarkable talent during his exorcist apprenticeship, which left the old exorcist in awe.
This world was filled with powerful demons, which could enhance themselves using a type of energy called demon aura.
More importantly, the demon aura could be plundered; by killing a target, one could acquire the demon aura within the target.
This resulted in the ergence of many imnsely powerful demons that grew swiftly like a snowball into terrifying monsters.
But humanity was also progressing, and the ergence of exorcists allowed them to catch a breath and barely have the capability to contend with demons.
While demons could absorb demon aura to strengthen themselves, a small number of humans could too, and those with this ability were called exorcists.
However, rely being able to absorb demon aura wasn’t enough, as human bodies were inherently frailer than demons’.
Therefore, they needed prolonged training and cultivation to gradually enhance their physical capabilities and unlock more potential within themselves.
This stage was where one would be considered an exorcist apprentice; once they awakened their unique exorcist abilities, they could be considered an official exorcist.
Exorcists had a wide variety of exorcist abilities; no two were quite the sa.
The pitch-black longsword in Ed’s hand was his exorcist ability, extraordinarily sharp, and able to cut through anything so far.
Ed discovered that every ti he slew a demon and absorbed its demon aura, this sword also beca stronger.
He and this sword were growing together, gradually becoming more powerful.
However, compared to other exorcists, this ability seed sowhat weak.
For instance, so exorcists gained fire manipulation abilities, casually tossing large fireballs with trendous power.
But Ed’s ability wasn’t as versatile; no matter how strong the sword, he still needed to strike his target.
The extent of the sword’s power was entirely dependent on Ed’s own combat prowess.
Compared to other exorcists, Ed, apart from this sword, didn’t have any special abilities, much like an ordinary warrior, but with a slightly stronger physique.
Thus far, Ed relied entirely on combat techniques he’d learned since childhood and his incredibly sharp black sword for fighting.
Unlike other exorcists who, upon awakening, had powerful abilities and could easily handle certain demons.
Ed had to fight every demon up close, making it much riskier.
A slight mistake could lead to death under a demon’s claws.
Ed’s visit to the Silver Frost Forest this ti was mainly to deal with a new demon that had appeared.
This demon had already killed two hunters from the town, making no one dare to hunt in the Silver Frost Forest anymore.
For the townspeople, hunting was the main source of acquiring at.
With this demon around, no one dared to hunt there, cutting off a vital food supply line for the town.
More importantly, Ed had to quickly eliminate this newly appeared demon.
This was a principle all exorcists understood: if you discover a demon, it must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Otherwise, after a certain period, you may find that the demon has likely grown too strong for you to handle.
Thus, upon hearing the news, Ed imdiately grabbed his sword and ca.
After entering the Silver Frost Forest, drawing from years of experience, he quickly identified probable locations of demon activities based on various clues.
Ed crouched low, moving silently through the jungle like a wild animal, making no noise.
He was too familiar with this forest, able to navigate freely even with his eyes closed.
When Ed saw the tiger in the distance, he halted.
The tiger appeared very ordinary, seemingly just a typical fierce beast.
But Ed, based on his years of experience, knew it wasn’t that simple; on the contrary, it indicated the tiger was extrely dangerous, potentially already a Tier One Demon.
Low-Level Demons and High-Level Demons correspond to exorcist apprentices’ strength, while Tier One Demons match official exorcists’ strength.
Tier One Demons, like official exorcists, possessed so special talent abilities, making them particularly troubleso.
Ed understood this but didn’t back down, pondering how to take down this tiger.
At this mont, a gentle breeze blew through the forest, rustling the trees softly, creating an unusually tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.
But Ed’s eyes widened abruptly, thinking, "Crap."
The breeze had blown over to the tiger, carrying Ed’s scent over.
Ed couldn’t have assud that the tiger’s sense of sll was ordinary.
Sure enough, the tiger, which had been lying on the ground resting, suddenly lifted its head, looked over, and spotted the hidden Ed.
Ed’s gaze sharpened, decisively making his move, his figure resembling an arrow as he shot forward, charging straight at the tiger’s face.
He appeared like a sword himself, moving with incredible speed.
The tiger imdiately rose, roaring furiously at Ed, following which black smoke began to emanate from its entire body, and its size started to change.
What had seed to be an ordinary tiger had, in the blink of an eye, transford into a massive black tiger towering up to five ters high.
