Amon rushed through the forest at imperceptible speeds.
As he jumped to the next branch of a nearby tree, he heard a hiss resound to his side.
Instinctively, his left hand shot towards the sound. He felt a slimy body impact his palm. Capturing it, he looked to his side, finding it to be a thin void snake.
Without a hint of rcy in his eyes, he clenched his fist, making the snake blow up.
The black blood splashed on his face. But, he didn't remove it.
As he was about to jump to the next tree, two notifications opened in front of him.
[The Void inside you grows larger...]
It was the usual.
But the next notification made his brows rise up.
[Your [Void] elent has leveled up!]
Confusion etched on his face.
'Hmm? It levels up from these beasts as well?' He questioned to himself.
Like his other 2 elents, he thought the only way to advance his [Void] elent was by using his skills.
They were the only way he could utilize his elent right now after all.
He looked at his gloved palm, the black blood dripping from it onto the grass.
'If I have to make an estimation, so far I have killed 50 of these beasts...'
According to Zephyra, the [Void Training]'s main purpose was to make his body attuned to the void.
This was precisely the reason why he couldn't use his elent right now as it would break under the pressure.
So the void inside him growing larger probably ant that his body got more and more accustod to the elent.
There was also the part about that weird feeling.
After this level-up, he only needed one more point to advance his [Void] elent to level 2. He should be able to use it after that happened considering he didn't get any influx yet.
There was also the matter of those 2 locked skills...
Regardless, only ti would tell the future.
Pushing back the thoughts, Amon jumped out of the tree, to the next branch. However, a frown creased his brows as he instantly felt sothing coming by his side. As expected, a body ramd into him in mid-air as he tried to maneuver sideways. The sudden weight threw off his balance, sending him flying over the tops of the trees. Fortunately, he was still able to mark the body of what had attacked him.
He gritted his teeth when his body landed among so branches.
'I wasted too much ti on the branch..'
He imdiately used [Voidteleport] and appeared right above the tree where he had landed.
Without hesitation, he unsheathed his odachi and slashed to his right.
He felt the blade connect cleanly as the beast ca into his view.
It was a crane. The sa one from his previous training, but larger and more ferocious.
It wasn't surprising.
He had expected the monsters to grow stronger and larger with each training.
The bird scread as the blade connected with it. Its lengthy beak reached out to snap his neck.
Amon's face twitched.
The force behind one hand wasn't enough to sever its body.
Grabbing the hilt of the odachi with his second hand, he applied more force, cleanly cleaving the body in half.
The beak stopped re inches from his face before both halves of the body fell among the trees.
He fastly used [Voidstep], appearing a considerable distance away from where he was in the
air.
He didn't want to land near the crash of the body.
It increased his chances of getting ambushed.
And as he fell into the trees from his new location, he subtly smiled.
It was because of the three leopards and gorillas he saw traversing through the forest to where the crane had crashed.
Landing into the trees, his eyes imdiately flashed purple, causing the three cheetahs to halt.
The sudden stop threw off their montum in the air, sending their bodies crashing to the ground.
Unfortunately, a grueso death awaited them below as Amon brutally sliced two open with his nodachi.
The third one was able to escape bare monts before the blade reached it by instinctively diving to the side.
A frown marred Amon's features as he quickly shot to the third cheetah.
But his charge was stopped as the three gorillas landed on the ground, noticing the commotion.
They bared their sharp nails and jaws at him, instantly beginning to attack him.
Each gorilla has 10 sharp long nails on both hands. And taking three of them into account, he had to contend with 30 nails in total.
His long odachi was barely able to keep up as he kept countering them all, trying to find a
chance to separate them.
It would do much better to take them one on one.
He could have used his [Void] skills like last ti. Not only would it kill them efficiently, but it
also sped up his progress to the next level.
But he didn't want to waste a lot of mana yet.
And also the fact that he wanted to beat them without any skills this ti.
It would be a problem if he relied too much on his skills.
Due to his sharp attention to the battle with gorillas, he was unable to notice the final cheetah
get back up.
It leaped at Amon from behind, digging his jaws into his shoulder.
Pain welled up in his whole being causing him to bite his tongue to not lose focus.
As the next set of slashes arrived from the feral beasts, Amon took a backward leap while
grabbing the starless cheetah on his shoulder.
With all the strength he could muster, he tried to squash its head.
As soone who had reached the 2nd order and with strength being his top stat along with another one, his force wasn't to be underestimated.
There was also the fact that his passive skill [Blessing of the Void] was active right now,
granting him a boost in all stats and fields.
His fingers dug into the head of the cheetah but unfortunately, his palm was still shorter to
squash its full head.
The jaw dug deeper into his skin, drawing out more blood.
Amon bit his lip, contending with the pain.
The gorillas also leaped at him once more.
Gritting his teeth, he thrust the edge of the nodachi into the jaw of the cheetah before digging
it further into its brain, ending its life.
The jaw disconnected from his shoulder and the lifeless body of the beast slumped to the
ground.
A clean, deep, and fleshy gash was revealed on Amon's shoulder as its body fell.
But the black-haired body didn't care.
Pain...
It was sothing he was getting used to by now.
He understood now...
If he fought with clean movents in this training, he was undoubtedly going to fail it...
That's why...
He would fight these feral beasts like a beast.
Not digging his odachi out, Amon leaped towards the nearest gorilla bare-handedly.
It's five thin claws slashed at him but this ti sothing unexpected happened.
Amon grabbed three of its claws in one hand and two of its claws in the other. And in the next mont, with all his strength, he ripped them apart.
