Chapter 21

"Hm collecting blood essence is not as easy as I thought it would be." Koa

Koa was slightly annoyed by the amount of Blood Essence he had gotten from all three of the sites of killed people. When he made it to each site the amount of Blood Essence collected was minuscule compared to the amount he had gotten from the Abyssal Wolf he had previously fought.

Koa finally made his way over to the Shadow Wolf's corpse. Removing his Hunters dagger Koa began to remove the hide, the bones and separate the meat from the useless innards. Due to the prolonged death of the Shadow Wolf most of the meat was unusable, because of the transfer of heat that was generated from the organs. After Koa finished collecting what a could from the Wolf's corpse he shifted his gaze at the corpse of the older man before him. As he got closer the man's corpse he noticed a foul smell.

"Jesus it's a great thing that I did not eat anything this morning. This old man, lost his control over his lower part of his body when he died." Koa said with a disgusted look on his face.

To be said the old man 'Yeo' lost control of his bladder and bowls. Basically, shitting and pissing himself before or after he died. As much as Koa just want to leave this body undisturbed and let nature to it course he wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything useful on his body. Koa began his search on the old man's corpse.

A small stream inside the Ingran Forest

A man is seen fiercely washing his hand with the stream. This man was Koa after his finished collecting things from the old man's corpse his hands felt stained by touching his body, so Koa made a mad dash toward a stream that he had passed before arriving at the corpses of the Shadow Wolf and old man.

"Fuck the was nasty, I thought it would be smart to do that, but I will never do that again if the dead person pissed and shit himself. I'll leave to shit to rot in the middle of the woods; a few messily silvers were not worth touching and being near his body." Koa said as chills went down his spine as he remembered turning over his body only to see that he almost touched it.

"I will torch a corpse before doing that again" Koa said without a hint of sarcasm.

After Koa was finished washing his hands he began to walk in the direction of the northeast which was opposite direction of Axefall. Koa did not want to return to where his life was hell and was treated as a slave, target, or a tool to be blamed on. At least not yet, when he would return is when he is stronger, so he may not fall into the ranks of the weak again. When he does return he will not allow people to use or abuse their power to overtake him.

Through his trip on the forest, he saw a group of Adventurers, they looked to be searching from something. What it was to be exact Koa did not know he just saw them stop every once in awhile looking at the ground before them. Though Koa did not find it strange, but there really wasn't any nearby villages or city. So, this caused Koa to be slightly on edge in case they came after him for what he had on him.

After hours of passing by adventurers and walking through the forest Koa decided to take a break and fill his stomach. Koa collect firewood and some stones, in order to make a small fire spit. When he found a clear spot that would allow him to notice his surroundings Koa began to set up his fire spit. After setting up the spit Koa grabbed one of the rocks and his dagger using the unsharpened edge of his dagger Koa stroke the rock. Each time he strokes the rock a few sparks would be unleashed. After a few tries Koa finally got the fire to start. Koa put two pieces of the abyssal wolf on the stick over the fire. As Koa was waiting for the pieces of meat to finish cooking he pulled out another lump of raw meat from him pouch.

"I have a chance to get more boosted stats when I eat this right?" Koa said with a questionable look on his face.

Koa was looking at one of the few pieces of meat he got from the Shadow Wolf. He was thinking about the same thing that happened when he ate the raw Abyssal Wolf meat. The chance to get stronger from eating a piece of raw meat was to tempting. After Koa had finished compilation, he decided it was better to try to get stronger than just let his chance to just wither away. Koa brought the piece of meat to his mouth and took a large bite. The texture was similar to the Abyssal Wolf's raw meat, but this was cold and more gloppy. The texture almost made Koa want to throw up the meat, but it was to late for that as it was on the way to his stomach. The results weren't instantaneous but happened after a few minutes after it was partially digested.

"I didn't get an increase in strength but got a decent boost in Dexterity." Koa said a with a slight smirk.

"Wait what is this new temporary skill?" Koa said.
