Fighting Monsters

Leo took the final step at the boundary of the map and entered the forest, it was a feeling of crossing a spatial portal. It seemed that each map was connected and was surrounded by barriers. Silicon Forest was home to insects like spiders, bees and some small animals like boars, foxes, and snakes.

Since Leo was at the edge of the forest he didn't encounter any ambush as soon as he entered. Many big trees were visible all around and he could see quite some monsters roaming either solo or in groups a little farther away.

Seeing that no one came behind him, Leo walked closer to the solo [Fang Boar Lvl.2] that was rummaging in the grass. When he was about 10 meters from the boar he equipped his [Sword of Power Lvl.5]. Although it was a level 5 piece of equipment, it could be used because of the Ignore Levels +5. So he was able to use the sword as a level 1 player.

Leo walked a little closer and when he was about 7 meters he cast [Inspect] on the boar to see its status.

[Fang Boar Lvl.2

Hp:300

Mp: 150

Skill: Wild Charge Level.1- Charges at the enemy in a Straight Line and will not stop till it hits a target.]

While Leo was looking at its status the boar had moved a little and went into the 5-meter mark. It then saw Leo and snorted as it charged at him. Leo was a little surprised at its aggressiveness and knew it was because of his Lower Level that made the Boar lock its Aggro onto him.

Although it looked like Leo failed to react to the charge, He gently SideStepped and dodged the charge of the boar. The boar crashed into a tree, and it looked like it got hurt from the crash a little and lost about 10 Hp. This time it just came at a normal speed to attack Leo and it seemed to have a cooldown for its skill. Leo then struck at the boar for the first time which resulted in about -35 damage. Although the boar did try its best and even used its skill two more times, it was hacked and slashed and eventually killed by Leo's power strike which dealt a massive damage -70. The fight looked like the boar was running around and slamming into trees and the player was just dancing and slashing at the boar till it fell and this only happened in a minute.

After killing the boar Leo felt like something Mystical entered his body, and it seems it must be the way the experience gain is shown. Leo had 10% of his Exp Bar full just for solo Killing a [Fang Boar Lvl.2]. And he could easily Level up if he killed 9 more boars. But it was not thrilling to Leo, he was seeking for more fights which could stimulate his potential and quench his cravings for battle. And Also the boar only dropped some 8 Copper Coins a Boar Hide and 1 Fang, which was not a decent loot at all.

Leo then started moving forward towards the depths of the forest and on the way he had killed about 4 more boars and gotten 27 more copper coins and 3 Hides and 5 Fangs. He also picked up the herbs after using [Identify Herb] And [Gather Herb] on them as he got 3 Red Tulip, 4 Longtails, 5 Tamlu Flower, 6 Brittle Root, and 3 Hymn Flower and had reached Level 2. Leo used the free attribute point he got into agility to increase his speed of movement and attack speed.

Right now Leo was halfway into the forest and was almost closer to the core of it. And he could see 2 forks in the road. One way leads to a Spider Infested area which he could see due to a Large Number of Webs On the trees and the other way was the home of bees and lots of herbs. Since Leo had a quest for gathering herbs and his bag space was almost full he went towards the bee side.

Just a little further in Leo encountered a lone Bee as big as 2 fists combined which he inspected to see its status.

[Stinger Lvl.3

Hp: 300

Mp:100

Skill: Shoot Level.1- Shoots its Stinger at its enemies.]

Leo then approached it slowly and then jumped up and slashed his sword gaining the first strike bonus dealing -55 Damage. The startled bee then quickly shot a stinger at still mid-air Leo and it hit him in the back dealing -75 damage as Backstab attack.

Normal Damages are shown as red with being the base damages and double damages are shown as blue dealing twice the damage and Vital point + Backstab strikes deal 50 to 75% damage based on location and critical strikes do 200% or more depending upon the skill.

Leo only had 275 Hp left and it looked like the bee was regrowing its stinger, but it showed no signs of attacking as it flew before him maintaining a distance. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be in a weakened status for using its stinger. Leo knew this was his chance to strike even though the pain in his back was hurting a lot. If not for his willpower and experience of more torturous pain in his other lives he would have screamed out loud like most people due to his 75% Pain Tolerance.

Leo then dashed forward and started attacking the bee in a rhythmic manner which gave it no chance to fly away. When the bee finally regrew its stinger shot at Leo, he slightly twisted his body to dodge the attack and unleashed power strike which luckily triggers a critical hit dealing about 120 Damage and killed the bee.

After killing the bee Leo got about 15% exp filled up gaining a total of 65%. Also, the Bee dropped some [Honey - Eat to Restore 10 Hp for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 30 Seconds ] and about 10 copper coins. Just when Leo was going to further he remembered he saw a small glint to his left when he jumped up to slash the bee for his first strike. So he changed his direction and walked past the bushes.
