As he was waiting for the system's answer, he was startled awake by a loud *BANG* that came from the east. He stop asking the system, took a final glanced at the Tyrant tiger's corpse and ran toward the direction from where he had heard the explosion.
Indeed, walking a few distance, in his line of sight he spotted an intense battle.
A huge bear was fighting with a group of teenagers. The group consist of 3 males and 2 females all of them have a badge with the sun embedded on it. The badge clearly signifies that they belong to a certain sect.
Fireballs shot towards the huge bear, this fireballs are as large as a head and are yellow-orange in color. If an ordinary human was struck by this fireballs then they will surely be roasted alive.
However, although it seems pretty scary towards humans it only gave the huge bear a few burns. Because of it's armor-like fur, it only sustained small damages while on the other hand the group of teenager seems to be on the losing side.
One of the males that was wildly throwing fireballs at the bear has an ugly expression on his face. The female with a red hair is also throwing fireballs at sometimes but it still has no effect on the bear. The two males are exchanging blows with the bear holding their swords and madly swinging it to the bear.
Obviously, these two didn't have sword skills and from the looks of it this must be their first time using swords. If not then they will not be this bad at using their swords which is similar to a baby using a hammer.
The last female is at back providing them some support as she tried her best to heal them and replenish their energies. What caught Ren's attention was not this girl's skill in providing support rather it's her beauty. Her long black hair falling down unto her waist paired with her innocent looking eye's, her curved body and slender white legs. No man would dare to say that they don't want to have her as their woman.
*BANG*
One of the males who was fighting with the bear was hit and thrown at the nearby tree. His body slam hard to the tree and sounds of bones breaking can be heard. The other male who saw all this was petrified and stared foolishly to the huge bear.
The bear mercilessly slam it's huge brown paw towards the boy's head. *Puff* His head flew 3 meters from the ground before falling. Silence! and after a brief moment a girl's loud scream can be heard.
When Shena saw his companion beheaded by the bear she subconsciously screamed. It was her first time seeing such a bloody scene and she felt like vomiting.
Shena and her group of friends decided that they should go in the forest to gain experience, but who knew that the moment they set foot on the forest a Unery Bear would appear.
Unery Bears usually hibernate especially at times like this but this particular bear they encountered was an exception and the only thing that they could think of is that it was looking for food.
The fight continued, until the other male, the one shooting fireballs earlier was cut into pieces. The battlefield has several small blood pools and littered parts of the body, looking at the scene one could tell that the bear has no intention on letting them go.
Shena and her friend Helen are the only two left among their group, facing the huge bear as a fire elementalist and a healer.
*Roar*
The Unery Bear let out a ferocious roar, Shena and Helen's legs trembled as they helplessly fell to the ground. They looked at each other and they all know that this must be their end.
They only lived for a short time of 14 years and now they are going to die in the forest and the best part was no one will know what will happen to them as they've only sneak out of their sects.
*Thud* *Thud*
The earth shake as the bear charged towards their direction, in a short second it close their destination by 2 meters. The Unery Bear moved it's large paws directly aiming at Shena and Helen. Whenever the paws pass by the wind itself follows.
As the two of them saw the paws coming closer, they both closed their eyes. But to their surprised the expected pain didn't come even though a minute had already passed. They opened their eyes in unison and saw a small figure standing in front of them blocking the paws using the pitch black sword in it's hands.
As the small figure sensed that they were looking at him, he turned around and smiled to them before asking "Big sis are you two okay ?"
Big Sis? Does that mean his younger than us?
Shena and Helen looked with disbelief in the small figure in front of them. As it turns out this small figure belonging to a skinny boy which had the height of about 1.3 meters. He has an ink black eyes and his short silver hair complemented his pale white skin, he was rather thin and looking at his immature face he is most likely to be around 12-13 years old.
The little boy that had appeared is naturally Ren. As he was looking from afar earlier he was trying to stop himself from helping as he was not someone who would risk his life for someone he didn't know.
But as soon as he saw that the two girls were helpless, he couldn't just look at them die don't he ?
He immediately ran forward to greet the bear's attack and to his surprise he managed to block it with ease.
At that moment a notification suddenly appeared on his head.
[Unery Bear: (Rank 1) They are scattered in every part of Misty Forest and are usually solitary in nature and rarely seen together with other Unery Bears. When fully grown it's fur will turn into something like an armor protecting it's body. Ordinary attack will not do any harm to it and it uses it's strong limbs to attack.]
As soon as he saw the information about the bear, Ren immediately understood why the fireballs earlier didn't do any damage to it no matter how many times it was hit. An armor like fur, it was like a tank back on Earth.
Using the Darksnort sword in his hands to deflect the bear's paw, he didn't give enough time to react before he started on attacking it.
*swish* *swish* *swish*
He slashed the sword at the bear's body, and surprisingly, it was able to cut through it's so called armor like fur. So seeing that it was effective he continued to slash the bear but even more faster this time.
The bear sense that the boy in front of it can kill him so it decisively try to escape. Even though the bear's body was very huge it was still able to run very fast and in a blink of an eye it was already several meters away from them.
"Think you can run from me?" he throw the sword, aiming at the bears head.
The sword traveled very fast as before the bear could hear the sword coming it had already pierced through it's head.
*Thump*
It's huge body slam to the ground causing the ground to shake a little. Shena and Helen was very shocked to see what happened.
A moment ago they were still being suppressed by that huge bear but when this boy appeared it run after exchanging blows once and at the end it still died while trying to escape.
But they were even more surprised to see that the youth in front of them was very calm, even after killing the bear or witnessing the bloody scene.
"Big sisters are the two of you alright?" he acted like a child even though he was already thinking about other stuff . . I mean thinking about some important matters.
"Were okay, thank you for your help. But they . ." Shena was the only one that manage to react to Ren, and then he turned to his friends who are already dead. She can't help but cry.
She was only 14 years old, although she know that there will be a time when she will see someone she knows get killed. But it all happened so fast today and she was not mentally prepared, and at the end she is still a child.
While the two of them were crying, Ren was walking towards the Unery Bear's body. The sword was able to pierce through it's thick skull so undoubtedly, it is very sharp. The black lines also appeared the same as the Tyrant Tiger before. It started from the skull where the sword has pierced and it extended upto its arms.
Meanwhile, he had already receive another notification.
[Ding! Congratulations on leveling to level 9]
[Ding! Congratulations on leveling to level 10]
This time he only leveled up by two even though the Unery Bear was the same as the Tyrant Tiger. But what he doesn't is that he was already considered lucky because he was able to kill to Rank 1 beast.
He removed the sword at the bear's head, it was now covered with blood again so he wiped it using the bears fur. He looked around the surroundings and noticed that it was so quiet except for the wailing of the two girls. He then silently thought to his mind.
'System, what is the black lines that appears when I kill using the Darksnort Sword?'
[The host does not need to worry about anything. The black lines are only a mark that it was killed using the Darksnort sword and it will automatically disappear after an hour.]
"What?! So that's it?" he cried out loud which shocked the two girls, noticing that the wailing sound has stopped and he realized that he said his thought out loud. He embarrassingly scratched his head and rubbed his nose.
"Sorry about that" he said cutely even though it was unintentional he really hate his voice right now.
"No, it's alright little boy. We don't mind" said Helen as she wiped the tears on her eyes, which had turned red from all of that crying.
He saw their eyes and he felt sympathy towards them, it must have been hard for them to experience such a cruel thing at such a young age.
Wait a minute! Did she just called me little boy? Did she?
"Big sister what did you just call me earlier?" he smiled
"Earlier? You mean little boy?"
Argh
*Heart shattering sound*
'Why does it hurts? Is it really that bad to call a 37 years old man little boy?'
He was already 37 back on Earth and he was transmigrated with body of a 10 year old boy. Even though he already know this but the fact that he is 37 years old hurts him when someone calls him little boy.
"Big sis will you do me a favor?"
Helen was confused while Shena had already stopped crying and said.
"What is it little boy?"
He heard her call him little boy again and he lost his composure as he rebuked.
"Don't call me little boy!!"
