+49 Grind : Forest of Kin ⁷

'Hah. That took less time than I expected maybe because of the bloodline that I got. Man that voice is annoying.'

'First remember yourself and then talk with me , by the way I haven't asked you your name. But I'm guessing you wouldn't know that anyways so let's just call you Devian who was the root of Cress Family.'

'Yes yes , I'm waiting.'

Saying that I obviously didn't wait for him , even though Devian was useful he couldn't tell me any extra and helpful information unless I asked him. I went ahead to clear the next bases , now it was finally tine for the Mid-Garfon's bases. After clearing the remaining bases in just two days I was surprised by the speed I was progressing.

With some of my skills boosted by my bloodlines and with the annoying yet great tips I got from Devian I was getting better with the attack patterns I used.

I could've easily completed my class quest , but I didn't as I wanted the to learn a technique. The technique I wanted to learn was 'Mana Infuse' which was the next step to become swordmage. Devian told me that any Half-Demon can easily learn this technique in a week.

This was connected to my bloodline , apparently the Demonic Mana within me was extremely compatible with any weapons. This was one of the perks I saw when I had to choose between Demon Lord and Goddesses side. Demonic Mana could buff the weapons and cause of this the mana was compatible with weapons.

I tried infusing mana in the weapon and was successful to a point but I was still not able to completely infuse my mana. Because of which I couldn't control the weapons , whenever I tried to move my weapon the sword would just shake at most.

'I know that but I can't wait that long , there's only 5 months remaining for Lecilia's ceremony.'

Just when I left the old man I remembered that I didn't know the date of the age of coming ceremony. So I returned to the place where the kid and old man were camping to ask the him the date. After talking with I got know what all this coming to age thing was , I already had the idea of what it was from the novels I read when I was bored.

The ceremony was held when young girls of Noble family's reached the age of 18 and entered adulthood. The main aim of the ceremony is to create connections and marriage proposals , in short Princess would advertise herself and see if any good family is ready to take her in.

Marriage proposals were made after the ceremony but sometimes they were planned ahead of the ceremony and were announced during it. So if I wanted to have a chance with her it had to be at that ceremony.

'Well I guess I head for the Mid-Garfon's next.'

It was finally time for the Mid's , although I defeated one of them on the first day of me playing this game that was in the previous version. This version didn't hold back in any sense , it took me 10-20 minutes to kill a level 60 normal Garfon and that was using my most powerful skills.

The Mid's in this version were a force to reckon with , I went deeper in the forest and with the help of my mana marks I was able to find a Mid-Garfon's base.They looked the same as they were in previous version , the same red coloured faceless body with chains on its body.

But this time I'd this feeling that they were going more problematic than before , they were obviously stronger than me which meant that I couldn't just take on them when they're in groups.

'I will have to separate them and then fight against them , yeah that's the only option I choose right now. I hope this works and their whole group doesn't follow me like the normal Garfon's did.'

With that I started to lure the Mid's , my plan was to heavily injure one of them and see if he tries to retreat. If he does then he will be separated from the group and I could easily catch up to him with my speed and kill him. On the other hand if he doesn't I guess I'll have to think of different method.

I ran towards the group of Mid's , their average level was about 63. None of them were below 50 , they didn't notice me as I sneaked near the lowest level Mid-Garfon. I focused my eyes on it and saw it's status.

While I didn't notice it at first the status screen was different , it only showed the HP and level. I always thought it was interesting how the system could tell me the stats of monsters.

'Does it only shows me stats I want to know?'

Is what I thought it was possiblity as this time I was only curious about the Mid's HP and level. So to test out my theory I tried to think about the Mid's MP and full stats.

I let out a sigh seeing that the Garfon didn't have any MP , the Noble Garfon's which I faced used a lot magic skills. This version was more vicious than the previous which is why I thought about the possibility of Mid's having mana.

'Luckily they don't have mana , I wish I could something like a bow and just snipe them. They can't use ranged attacks anyways so must be easier for the battle elves to kill them.'

I hid behind the nearest tree to Mid and was charging my fireball as much as possible , I couldn't make the fireball too big as the Mid's would notice it. So I let it get charged till it got bigger than my head , the reason to charge it was that it increased the chances of inflicting 'Burn' to the enemy.

Till now I used 'Crimson Fireball' in various ways sometimes aiming to a still target sometimes just shoving it in the target. While using it I noticed the bigger the flame was the higher was the chances of inflicting 'Burn' status.

Luckily it was still noon so the fireball wasn't as noticeable as it would've been during the night. After getting my fireball charged I planned to aim it towards the Mid instead of shoving , so that after firing it I could use 'Haste' and change my location.

I swung my hand hard which resulted in the fireball leaving my hand , the crimson fire travelled through the air and it looked like it was going to hit the Mid's head.

'Sh*t , please don't hit it's head.'

The Mid's regeneration was good but that was only when it's vital point was injured , if the fireball hits it's head the Mid would've easily just recovered it's HP. That's the reason I was trying to aim for it's back not it's head , I felt confident when the fireball left my hand.

I used this throwing technique every single time I threw a fireball , at first I missed the target but with 2 days of training and using it multiple times I was able to hit the target's body every single time. Sometimes I hit a headshot which dealt more damage than a normal body shot , but that was 1 out of 30 shots kind of thing.

Fortunately the Mid moved ahead and the fireball hit it's abdomen.

「 You've dealt 26739 damage 」

「Opponent has been inflicted by 'Burn' Status」

I was surprised seeing how low my Fireball damaged him , the defense stat helped the Mid to absorb almost 6,000 damage from my attack. Normally my fireball dealt 32,000-34,000 damage.

'I thought I could kill it just with 'Fireball' and 'Thruster' but with its defense , this is going to be troublesome.'

"Haste"

I quickly changed my location without being noticed , all the Mid's panicked seeing that someone attacked of their comrades. I saw that 2 of the Mid-Garfon even started fighting against each other , it looked like they thought that one of the Mid attacked him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity I used threw my dagger and used 'Thruster' on it to increase it's damage. The daggers flew through air penetrating through 1 Mid-Garfon's and finally reaching the target.
