Lying on the ground, 5 wolves looked like they were enjoying their sleep, they yawned and sometimes growled while lying down in a relaxed posture.
A human moving slowly in the shadows watching the wolf with a sharp eyes.
Moving silently with his short sword in hand, His icy cold eyes was accompanied by a calm breath made him look like a skilled hunter.
The hunter starts to approach the prey, he then stares at the prey waiting for the right time to attack. the prey still looks relaxed without being aware of the approaching hunter.
The hunter sees the prey is not aware of his position, dashed forwards, he quickly swung his sword and slashed the prey's neck, causing the wolf to groan in pain.
"Kikk ..."
Hearing the sound, the other prey woke up from their sleep, they stared at the hunter then began to growl and pounced at the hunter. the hunter strikes back the prey but due to the difference in the number. the situation changes in an instant now the hunter becomes prey and the prey becomes the real hunter.
The wolves attacked fiercely using they claw and mouth trying to bite their prey. but when the wolves focused on their prey, they had no idea that other hunters were after them. Kai and sword master moved swiftly toward the wolves and attacked from behind which shocked the wolves.
Kai and sword master did not give them a chance to recover from the shock, they attacked again. carnage who was attacked by the wolf also began to counterattack. kai's party and the wolves began to fight, there is no prey or hunter only life and death.
Kai and the sword master attacked the wolves trying to split them into 3 parts as originally planned. Kai attacks 2 wolves in a row trying to get their attention on him, the wolf finally gets angry and starts attacking Kai without caring about other players.
Seeing his plan working, Kai moved away from the others and started attacking again. Kai only attacking the vital points while dodging the wolves' attacks. Kai attacks fiercely, damage after damage was received by the wolf. their bodies started bleeding, showing the blood that fall on the ground makes it looked like a pool, but kai doesn't care, his mind only focus on the wolf.
When Kai focused on attacking, Sword Master and Carnage fought their own enemies.
Carnage used the tree as a shield before slashed the wolf from behind. number 25 was shown above the wolf's head, carnage attacked again but suddenly another wolf attacked from the other side making Carnage stoped his attack before rolled on the ground.
Carnage stand up and ready to attack again, but when he saw the wolves, he saw them pounced at him together. thinking that he cannot dodge them if the two wolves attacked together, Carnage ran towards the tree.
Using the tree as a footing, carnage do the backflip and attacked the wolf at their back before safely landing behind them.
Carnage using his agility and environment to attacked the wolves, he is like a wind that moves freely with attack that unpredictable.
But the most surprising one was sword master, his movements was like a dancer. If carnage is a wind, then Kai was a beast. but sword master was like a dancer, his attack was fast but his movement was slow, elegant and full of charm.
Sword master attacked using his sword techniques that flowing like water. not only that, sword master only attacked without evading and all the attacks that comes at him, sword master parrying all of them before countered and making the wolf like a sandbag.
The wolf attack using their claws but sword master easily directed their attack to another direction, then spun around and slashed while saying [Slash] then sword master put on a stance while holding his swords with two hands, and stabbed his sword into the wolf with skill [Stab]. The sword was stabbed into the wolf's shoulder making it groan in pain, the wolf tried to bite sword master hands. sword master who saw the wolf attack stepped back then slashed through the wolf's face.
The fierce battle lasted several minutes before it ended. sword master who only fought one wolf ended it easily and quickly, then he sat on top of the wolf corpse watching carnage and kai.
Seeing them fight sword master nodded satisfied.
"Not bad, their technique has reached the master level but their passion when fighting really surpasses me. Their fighting instincts also great as if they have been through a lot of battles" said the sword master then looked up at the sky and muttered.
"Seems like this is not the wrong choice to enter this world, maybe I can improve my technique and fighting experience in this world again"
Sword master is a master swords in the real world. he comes from argentina, a country that was famous for being the birthplace of Tango, one of the most influential and well-known dances throughout the world, there's also a football player who was so famous in the past. however, that doesn't stop sword master from practicing the sword and win 3rd place in the world sword contest.
Finish the battle, carnage and Kai picks up their items before walking towards sword master.
Carnage looked at the Sword Master and smiled.
"you turned out to be reliable, I thought you were just a beginner with high courage but no skill."
Sword master smiled at Carnage's words.
" A man who has the ability must have the courage" said the sword master.
"Have you taken the item?" Kai asked, didn't care about the conversation between the two of them.
"Yes, do you want it? I can give it to you" said the sword master while giving the item to Kai.
"No, you can hold it. We will share it later, we need to leave immediately before monster or beast come here. let's go!" said Kai as he walked away from the battlefield.
Sword master and carnage followed Kai from behind, they started looking for another prey. they began to split up and walked through the forest and gathered when they found another prey.
Kai's party finds a group of wolves and they start hunting like the first plan, but this time they don't use 2 on 2 and 1 on 1 tactics but they use 3 on 5 tactics. With a good teamwork, Kai's party easily kills the wolves, before they look for other prey. as time goes by, their teamwork began to get better and better makes their hunting easier and more efficient.
after hunting down three groups of wolves, they rested for one hours before continued. During the hunt in the forest, Kai's party also met other parties but they ignored them and took another path. Kai's party went through the forest and hunted on the outside zone not going too deep for fear of meeting red bears. They also met other monsters apart from wolves but because the monster was level 7, Kai's party stayed away from it and only hunted wolves that were only one level different from them.
Kai's party was hunting until late afternoon and managed to kill more than 20 wolves, each of them getting 1 level.
"Well.. let's go back to the city, hunting in the forest at night was very dangerous" said Carnage.
"OK" Kai and the Sword Master nodded in agreement.
Kai's party returns to town. arriving at the city Kai took all of his items and gave them to Carnage.
"These are all items today. You can sell and share the results with me later," Kai said.
"Okay. sword master.., let's go together. you can learn how the game works and not be tricked later," Carnage said.
"No problem, knowledge is also part of strength" said the sword master with a smile.
Carnage leaves with sword master. kai back to his inn waiting for them. there he sat enjoying his drink while eavesdropping players talking.
Eavesdropping players was the good ways to know the recent news.
After 1 hour of waiting, carnage and sword master return, they sat down while ordering food and drinks. Carnage took out a money bag then said to Kai.
"60 copper coins ! this is what we get from today hunting."
"Isn't that too little?" Kai said, surprised.
" I also think so, but that's the market price" said Carnage.
" Alright then" Kai said sighing, then continued " we need to go at 8am tomoworow, so we can hunt more"
"No problem. this is your share, pay your own bill" said Carnage giving kai a bag of money.
Kai took the money then started eating together with them while chatting and teaching many things to sword master.
After eating, carnage and sword master continued chatting and only leaving at 10pm. Kai who was exhausted also returned to his room and lay down.
"Let's sleep and wake up early to enjoy the new battle tomorrow" said kai while closed his eyes trying to sleep.
