"Herag rlin: Power 45.2, Agility 45.6, Constitution 45.7, Spirit 79.5, Magic Power 100%."
Herag glanced at the data panel; his physical attributes had now all reached over forty points.
He felt it might not only be due to the Demon Aura but also because of his continuously increasing physical attributes.
As physical attributes rise, the difficulty of further improvent naturally becos higher.
Compared to when he first arrived in this Plane, Herag’s physical attributes had significantly improved.
Now, it’s expected that the difficulty of improvent has increased slightly.
Herag checked the body of the person, finding only a few Gold Coins and Silver Coins, with nothing else of value.
After dealing with this person, he continued horseback, planning to find a place to stay overnight ahead.
The bird conjured by this person seed to have a reconnaissance function, but before Krar could fully demonstrate his abilities, Herag had already dispatched him with a single sword strike.
Early the next morning, Herag rode his horse and continued on his journey.
After five days of travel, Herag finally arrived at Fire Land Ranch.
Fire Land Ranch had a vast pasture, with cattle, sheep, and horses, all taken care of by ranch staff.
Herag arrived at the ranch entrance and showed a piece of parchnt.
The ranch owner was a weathered man, looking to be in his fifties or sixties, nad Bowen.
Bowen held a pipe in his mouth, took the parchnt, glanced at it, then looked up at Herag and said, "It’s a total of three months. If you leave early, it’s ten Gold Coins; if you stay for the full three months, the reward is twenty Gold Coins."
Bowen intended to explain the rules clearly in advance to prevent this Exorcist from arguing later.
These Exorcists rarely stay for the full three months; they usually leave after a short while, and Bowen had grown accustod to it.
Herag nodded, saying, "Understood."
Bowen then led Herag into the ranch, to a wooden cabin outside, which was Herag’s accommodation.
als were provided by the ranch, with two als a day.
Herag’s job was simple, as he didn’t partake in the regular managent of the ranch.
The care of cattle, sheep, and other such animals was handled by designated personnel who managed the daily grazing.
The only task Herag needed to perform was to intervene when the ranch encountered a Demon attack, repelling or killing the Demon to minimize losses for the farm.
After settling at the ranch, it was tranquil for half a month.
Daily, watching the cattle, sheep, and horses moving about the plains, his mind seed to find so peace.
The ranch staff totaled five people, all ordinary folks.
However, two of them were forr Adventurers who bought the ranch after earning so money to retire.
Bowen was said to have been a powerful Adventurer with many experiences.
Herag often saw Bowen with a pipe in his mouth, sitting by the ranch, staring at the cattle and sheep, lost in thought.
He would often sit there the entire afternoon.
Herag stayed in the wooden cabin, diligently engaging in ditation, which showed so progress as another star successfully ford.
In his mind, the third Array Map lit up the fourth star, marking the twenty-ninth star.
Herag glanced at the starry sky outside the window and continued ditating.
Observing the entirely different starry sky above, he couldn’t help but wonder, having ditated on stars from several different Planes, what effects it might have in the future.
At present, they seed similar, with nothing particularly different.
As he ditated, Herag thought about how he hadn’t encountered a single Demon in these half-months.
If no Demons appeared in the coming days, he considered returning ho, not wanting to continue wasting ti here.
Herag was willing to wait half a month because Bowen ntioned that in autumn, so Demons might co to forage in preparation for winter.
Yet after half a month, he hadn’t seen even a trace of a Demon.
Late at night, Herag opened his eyes and looked outside the window.
At the ranch’s outskirts, a brown Giant Bear was approaching with heavy steps.
It watched the ranch’s scenes through the wooden fence, drooling heavily upon seeing the herds of cattle, sheep, and horses.
This Giant Bear was no ordinary animal but a Demon, standing a full five ters tall when standing upright.
The Giant Bear casually swiped a paw, seemingly using little strength, and instantly smashed down a section of the wooden fence.
The noise quickly alerted a few people at the ranch, with Bowen rushing to assess the situation and gasping upon seeing the Giant Bear.
"Giant Mountain Bear!" Bowen recognized this Demon.
Giant Mountain Bear, a High-Tier Demon, possessed exceedingly strong physical Power.
Its hide was thick and tough, with ordinary swords unable to harm it.
Bowen couldn’t understand why a Giant Mountain Bear was here, as they typically didn’t operate in these plains or grasslands, but in mountainous regions.
However, such thoughts were irrelevant at the mont, with no ti left to ponder.
"Quick, run. It should leave once it’s eaten enough. Don’t provoke it. Tell Herag not to throw his life away." Bowen told those beside him.
Seeing the Giant Mountain Bear, Bowen had lost all hope of defeating it.
Although Herag was an Exorcist, in Bowen’s opinion, there was no way he could match a Giant Mountain Bear.
Even High-tier Exorcists were rarely confident about handling a Giant Mountain Bear, let alone Herag, who seed an Exorcist Apprentice at most.
Bowen only hoped to lose as few cattle and sheep as possible.
But given the Giant Mountain Bear’s size and hunger, the losses this ti could be severe.
"Mr. Herag isn’t in the cabin..." said the young man sent to notify him, running back.
"Not there? Did he run away ahead of ti? Perhaps it’s for the best..." Bowen mused.
"Captain, he’s over there!" Bowen’s old companion Mahar pointed toward the Giant Mountain Bear.
Bowen looked over and saw Herag approaching the Giant Mountain Bear with sword in hand.
The Giant Mountain Bear also took notice of the approaching human, roaring with gaping maw, saliva dripping.
"Damn fool! Co back!" Bowen anxiously shouted to Herag.
Herag turned and smiled, "It’s alright; I can handle it."
Bowen was speechless at Herag’s audacity, unsure what to say.
"Let’s get out of here," Bowen sighed, unwilling to witness the young man’s tragic death, planning to retrieve Herag’s body later if there was one left.
"Captain, look..." Mahar did not leave, still watching the Giant Mountain Bear.
