Bigger Fish -Boss defeat- (5)

Legs quake under the pressure of fear, the two wounds that were visible on its body, and the unconscious body of its friend was laying right behind them. They wanted to run away from this spot to avoid death, but no matter how much the animal wanted to run away, the internal fear clouded its brain issued commands to the rest of the body, freezing up.

"So high and mighty before, now you can't even-."

Allen took another step forward and the animal took another step back.

"Stay in place when I approach you huh? dangerous predatory instinct is on my... SIDE!"

He dashes forward with his spear right beside him he lunges the weapon at the head of the animal. The animal was in a constant state of fear with its focus was on something else at the time, but seeing the spear get close to its head, the animal pulled itself together again in time to dodge the thrust by the smallest amount, the spear only manages to give a small cut.

"Well, seems like you're awake again."

They both stood in the same pose as Allen gave the Animal smirk, feeling like he has the upper hand now in this battle.

The Animal charged up a small mana sphere between the horns on top of its head. Allen retreated a safe distance when he saw the charging process.

"If you think, I'll let that hit me!"

He slides along the ground until to a full stop and swirls his body around to face the Animal.

- I'll just treat it like a baseball and throw it right back at you-

A small grin appeared on his facial expression, the eyes dwell the flames of a prideful warrior and his heartbeats to the urge of victory.

The Animal whipped its head swaying it in Allen's direction releasing the magical sphere at him.

"Play ball!"

He spreads out his legs to imitate a professional baseball player, with his body hunch over, legs bent and he was holding his spear like a baseball bat.

His eyes watch the magical energy sphere rapidly speed toward him in those split seconds he swings his weapon hitting the sphere.

*Crack, crackle, fizz*

The two were now touching each other with energy sparks came crackling from two different sources of energy pushing against each other.

"ggkkhh- Rah!"

He was expecting that his strength stats had high enough points inputted to swing the magical energy sphere away.

"I seriously did- gah! Not think this through!"

What Allen felt in his arms, legs, and hands was something way heavier than the actual size of the sphere, it felt like he was trying to move a large boulder.

"I need more strength!"

Veins started to pop out again, as his problem grew a lot worst. The Animal was preparing itself to charge into him since he was busy dealing with the pressure from the magical attack.

"Here your ball! Take it!"

The ground below him started to crack under the weight and pressure between the two mana sources. But with the creature in the middle of its charge Allen fling it right back at the Animal.

*Boom*

With how close the Animal was to Allen, there wasn't really enough room for it to dodge its own attack.

*KABOOM*

A dark smoke cloud covers up the entire body of the Animal and a little bit more, as it took the full power attack head-on. Allen being impatience for the smoke to clear away he activated his sense mana ability and targeted the smoke cloud.

"Gotta be kidding me..."

He groans taking a step forward to dash into the Air from his enhanced agility sky, the Animal was still alive even from taking almost a point-blank range attack against it. But it still managed to do its job to inflict heavy damage so the creature is just barely alive.

"This ends here and now!"

He aimed his weapon at the Greater Ram Deer that just stumble out of the smoke, with its legs wobbling, and major body bruises.

Coming straight down not only did the bladed part of the weapon was glowing red now, but soon the entire spear engulfed in the same red mana glow.

"Ha!!"

He thrusts his spear into the head of the second Animal forehead piercing the skin and then the skull, finally ending this battle for good. Using the weight behind him the attack forced the weak legs of the Animal to bent and crumble down, making a small crater below the Animal legs.

He safely lands back down after the attack and then pulls the spear out of the Animal head. He turns to look at the previous Greater Ram Deer lying on the floor now no longer breathing, he finally manages to defeat both.

With the amount of message pop up in front of him made him feel even happier about this situation. Most of his strength was used in this battle, and quite a lot of mana was extracted into the spear.

"Seems like I did it huh?"

Using the spear to hold himself up, he slowly examines each pop-up message until a huge smile was seen on his face. Lvling up 3 times in a day, and not to mention he is now on the final stretch of getting out of recruit rank.

"Haaa~~..."

He wanted to scream and shout out at the sky, to cheer and celebrate the victory of this harsh battle that he had just fought.

All the animals he has killed for today turned into system points and crystals pieces making their carcass disappear, with the only trace left behind was blood splatter across the ground.

His muscles and body ache from the stress he put them through, and every time he tries to move them even by a little bit.

Then the sun was already starting to descending down to sunset, with the sky turning light blue to an orangish-yellow he left the area behind to head back home before nightfall.

*krrshh, krrsh, snap, krrsh*

Quietly rustling the leaves on the ground and every so often snaps a small twig on the floor as he slowly walks back to the cave, with a staggering walk from the stress he feels on his legs.

He saw the familiar clearing not too far from where he was at, picking up the pace to return to safety and the closet place he can get for relaxation.

"Finally home! Nothing wanting to kill me."

He staggers up the hill using his spear as a support and a walking stick he marches right on up to cave And stand in front of the cave rooftop entrance.

"Hey Chad, I'm back!"

Standing in front of the cave, he leans against his spear, while the other hand was clutching onto the side of his torso, blood was seen on top of his face, both armor and clothing were tattered.

"Not again young master!"

Chad whined and worried at the same time, he hurried to Allen from the minor task he was doing in the cave, cleaning things up a bit.

"Always coming back battered and bloody, the world really does hate you doesn't it, young master?"

Chad brought both his hands up to Allen's chest to start the healing process, the bruises soon to mostly disappear, and the stress on.his muscle would greatly fade away, and the wound on his head that was bleeding was patched up. Allen sat himself down to rest for a bit while Chad does this.

"Not my fault that I need proper development."

Yes again, proper character development is key to creating a good, and strong character. (cough)

"Even so, your bad luck is insane, young master."

Chad sighs after he was about to finish up the healing procedure, then he drops his hands back down to his muscular waist side.

"That should cover up most of the major wounds, please use this time to rest up young master."

Chad dismissed himself by bowing down and went back inside to resume tidying up the cave.

"This feels way much better, Thanks Chad!"

Allen began to roll his shoulders around and then stood up to stretch his arms and legs to test how much pain he was getting from moving them around.

"I think I'm good... I need a bath."

Even being patch up from all the wounds he took another inspection seeing how dirty he has gotten from that one fight, and also the fact that he didn't take a shower last night.

He took off his tattered armor and place it back on the makeshift armor stance, and then put away his spear into the weapon rack. He grabs his hygiene products and left for the pond.

After taking off his clothing and taking a quick dip in the mildly cold transparent water, he was floating on top of the water surface. Allen was determining what should he divide up his 40 stats points into.

-Should I mainly focus on strength, agility, mana, and defense?-

He wonders to himself being indecisive about his answer.

- But that means my other stats will be lacking in behind then, What if I needed that stats to be higher in the future?-

He started to roll his eyes around, but still couldn't come up with a straight forward answer as he got out of the pond to apply the soap onto his body, then walk back into the pond to clean off the soap.

*Splash*

== 15 minutes later ==

Once finishing up with his bath he was now back at the cave sitting on his makeshift bed. New furniture items were in the cave, a makeshift chair, and a bench to sit on.

"I think... For now, I'll focus on those 4 stats for right now."

Dividing up the 40 points into 10 points each he inputs them into strength, agility, mana, and defense.

[ Stats update: Str 51 / Agi 50 / Int 40 / Cha 40 / Dex 37 / Mana 50 / lck 40 / def 50 | save changes Y/N ]

He selected yes and waited until the white glow to appear and disappear.

"Now then, I got my stats to settle up... What about this loot box?"

He brought up his shop menu again and then selecting the loot box options. The rare 3 stars box was right in his eyes he presses the buttons to open it up.

[ System message: You have to open your free rare 3 stars loot box. ]

*Ding*

[ System message: you have just a piece of new equipment | A low-grade special ring to store your inventory. ]

A small metallic ring with stranges craving and a tiny red gem at the top appeared in his hands out of thin air.

[ Ring: Low-grade spacial ring. This ring has the ability to store up to a 50 by 50-meter square room. ]

"Oh shit... A spacial ring? I always thought that theses exist inside of manhuas only?"

Spacial rings were something he has mostly seen from Chinese anime-style comics, a magical ring that has the ability to store a certain amount of things. But seeing something like that in this world caught him by surprise.

"I... guess I'll put it on then."

He wasn't really a man of jewelry but this ring was too special of an offer to pass up, so he decided to put it on his left-hand pointer finger, the ring was a great fit.

He slowly examines the ring, and time went by until dinner has arrived and the sun was set past the horizon, they both ate and had some great laughs with each other. Ending the 6th day, for the 7th day to come with the grand meetings between players.
