Vihaan was stunned just now he was wondering how to take this mom with him and system gave him the solution.

The Technique it can be said to be tailor made for him. Now he was more interested in doing more quest to obtain more Random Reward. They were rather Lucrative.

He had no time to practice and he was broke af as of now so no CE for opening it, had no time to think about all this.

Vihaan saw the map. The Route he was going to take more than 3000 km. It's I'll take more than 10 - 15 days. So he made haste.

Vihaan : / Follow me /

He don't want to talk with her. He wanted put her in difficult spot and mold her into his liking. She grew up a little in the past 70 days but after his evolution all the progress seem to have regressed.

Earlier he was planning to go an bully all the bugs who torment him but now he had to change all his plans.

He was still in Snake Field. It would take another few hours for him to get out of here and actually encounter danger. His path was not directly towards the Inner Peripheral but somewhat an around about path. It covered many different regions in Outer Peripheral.

Right now what he wanted was challenge so he didn't shy away from intruding into other monster territory.

Vihaan was very fascinated by Earth Dive. Like who wouldn't like to swim. By using it and exploring the uses of the skill. He found an ingenious way to use it.

Like how a Crocodile will wait for the prey only having its snout and eyes above water. He dived in the earth similar to that. It increased his speed and Recovery while masking his trail. He also tried to swim like a swan partially placing his body in the soil and move. It actually worked.

He activated the Camouflage Skill together with it. He totally merged with the earth.

Unless someone had more Spirit, Mind or particular sensing skill. It's literally impossible to find him. He wanted to try and assassinate some beasts.

Think about the Irony. A Beast made like tank but has high agility and mask presence can assassinate from the shadows, Just vanish as is he was never there.

After 6 hours of travel. They finally managed to come out of the Snake Field. Right outside it, they met their first adversary.

Neradai was awfully calm. Vihaan didn't know what happened to her but her usually cheerful personality was missing but still he decided to first open Living Space Matrix and then confront her on what to do.

He was totally camouflaged and Neradai can be considered a very powerful snake in the Outer Peripheral so both of them were not detected.

Vihaan kept his eyes on the prey. He closed the distance slowly. RIght now he had high Mind Stat and Spirit Sense so he had a very clear vision when above ground.

[ Newborn Weasel ( Common )

Lv - 46

HP : 1200/1200

Description : You don't need to know Attack and Defense. If can't even kill this then just go and wait for death. ]

Vihaan frowned when he saw the new function and Attack and Defense missing.

Vihaan : / System, What is this ? /

[ You are an apex predator. Thinking about attack and defence before attacking is a shame to your race. In future you have to go head to head with people with skills blocking common appraisal and higher level monsters. So it's best to train you in that regard. ]

[ But If system deems the threat to be dangerous and tough. The normal functions will be back ]

Vihaan wanted to complain but again he was in a hunt even a slightest fluctuation in emotion may lead to undesirable end so he didn't say anything and focused on the Weasel.

He dived fully into the Earth. His eyes was blind but the he make due with his Spirit sense but the problem range was greatly diminished. His Spirit sense had a Range of 380 m but inside the ground he can only see 3.8 m around him. Still that didn't baffle him as he was using spirit sense in coordination with his Infrared Eyes. It actually is a Pit Organ which enables him to see even i pitch dark and identify his prey.

SWOOSH

Vihaan perfectly placed himself just below the Weasel. It was new born with no much Danger sense. He activated fours skills at a time.

Earth Restrain.

Petrifying Gaze.

Titan Leap.

Venomous Masticate.

The Pitiful Weasel didn't have time to struggle. Although it reacted rather quick. The Earth Restrain acted as a distraction while petrifying gaze froze it and allowed the Chains to restrain it. Four Earth Chains acted like cuffs binding the weasel to the floor while another two chains pulled it and locked it near the surface. Titan Leap pushed his body and added momentum while the last but not the least his venomous double layered jaws laced with poison, penetrating effect and slashing effect come in contact with its Head.

CRITICAL HIT

It was like a hit knife through butter. It was One Shoted. Dead.

The Mithril Jaws with immense force just cut the head off the weasel like a Guillotine.

[ Killed Newborn Weasel with First Kill Bonus : 2300 CE x10 = 23,000 CE ]

[ Quest : First Kill of the day - Completed ]

[ Reward : +3 Stat Points ]

The Weasel was very small so he just ate it in a one go.

Weasels are known to be cunning and agile so it had low defense. Vihaan directly took away it's agility and cunningness with Earth Restrain and Petrifying Gaze. It was just a sheep waiting to be slaughter. Although it was good hunt. It enabled him to understand his Pros. It was not satisfying.

Vihaan saw Neradai was till in daze. He was getting worried. This was becoming a headache. If she doesn't wake up and get her shit together in the next fight he is going to beat her up.

Vihaan : / Level Up Max /

[ Acknowledged ]

[ Lv - 16 CE : 25,000 / 8000 ]

[ Lv - 17 CE : 17,000 / 8500 ]

[ Lv - 19 CE : 500 / 9500 ]

[ Strength : 38 -> Strength : 41 ]

[ Constitution : 38 -> Constitution : 41 ]

[ Vitality : 38 -> Vitality : 41 ]

[ Total : 15 Stat Points and 37 Skill Points ]

Vihaan : / Max Spirit /

[ Acknowledged ]

[ Spirit : 38 -> Spirit : 49 (4) ]

Vihaan could feel his spirit growing but suddenly it's stopped.

Vihaan : / System, What is with with Spirit? What's happening ? /

[ 49 is the threshold to enter 2-Star Body. To break through it all the stats require 5 Stat points before entering 2 - Star. After 50 it be back to normal. It require 1 Stat to further upgrade ]

[ It's like strengthening and laying a good foundation. It is mandatory. ]

[ I suggest using Heavenly Breath Realization Technique to break through after Accumulating till 49 (4). ]

Vihaan was contemplating he need 28 Stat points after all his 7 Stats reach 49. He also had to take time to check what it is actually.

Vihaan continued unlike before he encountered more and more Weasels in this territory. He just releases his Spirit Related Skills. He wanted to Rank them up.

He was already using Earth Dive for more than 6 hours still it's had not Ranked Up.

Earth Restrain

Petrifying Gaze and

Spirit Sense.

He cycled them and continue to use them one after another but he didn't use them mindlessly instead maintained all his Stamina, EP and Spirit at least half. Never knew when the threat would attack.

He was pissed at the Weasels. Although they had high levels they were only Common Tier which gave him only half CE than usual. So he lost interest and decided against fighting anything.

He already killed a few Newborn Weasels who were brave enough to confront him. All together they only amounted to a pitiful 22,000 CE which was less than his First Kill.

It took another 4 hours to scare away all the Weasel and travel that territory.

After Continuous use of skilled they Ranked Up one by one.

[ Petrifying Gaze Rank 2 🔺 ]

[ Earth Restrain Rank 2 🔺 ]

Finally after 10 hours of continuous usages Earth Dive increased to Rank 2. It just decrease his EP consumption 0.8 EP/min. Except for Spirit Sense everything Ranked Up.

[ Earth Dive Rank 2 🔺]

It's been 10 hours since they started to move out. Until now Neradai has not spoke a single word. Finally he couldn't take it.

Vihaan : / Establish Safe Zone /

[ Acknowledged ]

Vihaan was perplexed as now there was no 2nd confirmation. All the commands were accepted readily.

he turned towards Neradai.

Vihaan : / What's going on tell me /

-X-

Vihaan himself didn't there any things happening around him. Somethings are give while somethings are take. When he was born he was a true cold blooded killer. Now he was being influenced by emotions something he wasn't born with. Although he acts rough outside. He had developed a soft spot for Neradai.

He was being placed in different kinds of scenario which forces him to choose one or the another. He could have just left her there but he decided to take her along and suddenly system gave him Living Space Matrix. He was being led by the system step by step.

Earlier it was cool blooded, then a cynical, a hit of his old weak personality, now arrogance and pride.

He was trying to mold Neradai's personality but System was trying to mold his personality.

Vihaan was planning a game of chess without knowing he was actually a pawn in the game but system never did anything to danger him.

It's a paradox.

He wanted no more than freedom and death didn't want to be a part of any of this bullshit earlier but now he was embracing the thrill of adventure.
