Chapter 13 : Kemosin Islands

Allen's body dropped on the boat unceremoniously as he sat down huffing with a tired expression wiping his sweat, and he decided to rest for a while.

Allen started to rethink his strategy during his fight trying to find his flaws with his strategy, although it may look like a crushing defeat and a flawless victory, Allen isn't very happy because this group is nothing but mere canon fodders when put into a larger perspective.

It was the first time he has utilized his chakra, battleforce and soul force to fight. Allen has achieved a fabulous result but there is a concerning issue. He is rather lacking in all three of these forces!

There is a limit to how much he can use, his inner force isn't unlimited and against a bigger force of similar caliber like Clock Horse he would be very restricted to go all out.

For example, if the number of mercenaries just now were twice or thrice times more then Allen would have no way but to run and save himself because he would be exhausted to death otherwise.

'I need to develop a better fighting style. Even if the results of my current pattern is unquestionably good, this tyrannical way of fighting would only endanger me unnecessarily. There is no way I could achieve a breakthrough in a short time so, I need to alter the expression of my own ability to better implement my current powers.' Allen stood up again and got moving.

He wanted to clear the scene here and get going making sure his fight stays under the radar.

Allen proceeded to rob everything the Clock Horse mercenary group members had on themselves. He took all their money and resources except for the ones that sank.

He half expected to find a treasure map or something from them but he got nothing special. But in the end, his pocket was still a bit bloated so he cannot complain either.

Allen quickly moved to destroy all of the boats except the one he came into and sank them. He also made sure to not leave behind any evidence of fighting and dead bodies, thankfully the fishes were very cooperative.

After taking care of miscellaneous things, he rowed himself to the shore of Kemosin Island.

The path the rower took was a rather long and secluded one, since he wanted to get rid of Allen and rob him. Unfortunately for them, Allen was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Allen reached the shore after a few hours but the sky was getting darker and it would be hard to set up a camp. Allen was very tired and he just wanted to eat and rest.

Allen entered the forest and quickly found traces of a low level beasts. Soon a white rabbit appeared in front of him.

From his memory, he knew that this rabbit was a rather mild personality beast called 'Yigret Rabbit'. Other than having sharp teeth and great speed, it could do nothing.

After spotting it, Allen quickly advances toward that rabbit, and at that moment the Yigret Rabbit also notices him.

Facing him, it quickly turned around and started to run.

Allen not wanting to let go of such an easy prey suddenly erupted with a weak Battleforce radiance, However, this Battleforce amount was rather low and it enclosed his body extremely weakly.

During the fight he has gone all out and come out unscaved by paying the price of having low energy reserves for sometime. Till now he hasn't had time to recover either, he needed to come to the Kemosin Ruin Island before sunset because he didn't want to spend the night in the boat.

His Battleforce has recovered a bit naturally but his reservoir of chakra was even more lacking currently.

With the help of his battleforce, Allen sprinted towards the Yigret Rabbit and attacked it with the thrust of his sword.

"Peng!"

His sword landed on Yigret Rabbit back, piercing the Yigret Rabbit into the ground. After which it stopped moving gradually.

He, picked it up by its ears, and then ended its life by twisting its neck with his other hand.

"That's it for dinner."

He lifted the dead body of the Yigret Rabbit, walked towards the stream and started to peel off the skin.

However after completely peeling off the skin, seriousness appeared on his face. "What should I do about the fire? I never learned how to make fire in my previous life because I had fire attribute soul force and Hiroki had chakra. Well now that I think about it, he also knew about creating fire from natural resources." Allen's soul force isn't strong enough yet to manifest fire. As for creating the Fire the old fashioned way, it's too tiresome.

"Maybe I could use Chakra? Hiroki main element was fire same as Shen Fei so, I have basic understanding of the fire element. I think after some practice I would be able to grasp the laws of fire here as well." Allen thought as he looked at the raw meat with a regretful expression, "But I am too tired to do anything, and I cannot eat it raw either *sigh* Life is so troublesome."

Allen kept sitting on the shore looking at the setting sun with a stoic expression but he suddenly started laughing at the current predicament, "*Chuckle* Hahahahaha! It is quite a situation, Just a few hours ago, I was cornered in the sea by a bunch of blood thirsty mercenaries and slaughtered them without a single scratch but I am troubled about what to do for dinner."

Allem laughingly scratched his head, and looked at the rabbit meat. He considered eating it raw but seeing that the meat was still dripping blood, he couldn't do it.

Allen wasn't planning to hunt but seeing the rabbit hop in front of him, he couldn't resist either. There are rumours that a Yigret Rabbit is extremely delicious and being a fan of good food, Allen was so tired that he didn't even think things through.

For a person who simulated and guessed everything about Faisal brother from just his rant, this is quite an irony. It just goes to show he is a bit tired as well as weird.

"Oh well, everything in life shouldn't be all planned out, some randomness every once in a while spice things up. For now, There is no other way but to eat some dry ration." Allen picked up the peeled rabbit as he looked apologetic," I am sorry to disrespect your good meat but don't worry I would make it up to your tasty race later."

Allen left the raw meat there and set up some small traps as he picked up some dry ration he had prepared beforehand from his bag. He then kept walking inside the forest looking for a tall tree to sleep on.

Allen was already going to die from hunger. There is no way he would search for a piece of dead wood and try to create fire.

At first before killing the rabbit, Allen thought about recovering his Chakra and then experiment to produce fire but he aborted the plan because he lost the desire midway and his moody personality kicked in.

'This is the first time I have killed in this fourth life of mine. But I don't feel anything.' Allen thought about his experience with the Mercenaries. The first time he had a killing experience was in the previous life but he didn't feel much back then as well.

This is presumably because Hiroki had a lot of experience in life and death experience, and subconsciously Allen wasn't much effected through his own experience, "This is just the beginning, there is much more blood that needs to be spilled for me to reach my goals."

After finishing eating the tasteless and hard dry ration, Allen climbed up a tall tree and sat in a lotus position deciding to rest and cultivate.

He was already capable of substituting cultivation for sleep or unconscious resting, it better to be alert here.

...

Allen cultivated the whole night. When he stopped the sun had already risen, the amount of chakra within his body was refilled but there was no improvement in other aspects. Again he felt quite hungry, so he had no choice but to stand up and go hunting.

Soon, he discovered a Wermis Cat. It was a pretty strong beast when compared to Yigret Rabbit but it was also a low level creature.

Currently Allen was in the outer zone of the Kemosin island and there are only weak beasts here, the more one travels towards the center the more they would face stronger beasts.

For now Allen was focused on his target and it looked like it would surely have delicious meat. It didn't have high attack power, but its speed was very fast.

*Peng*

Allen matched it speed easily as he delivered a vicious kick anticipating the Wermis Cat's movement path. This attack landed on the Wermis Cat causing the animal to fly out.

He quickly ran towards the place where the Wermis Cat landed and delivered another kick in the form of a stomp to the head cracking it's head which ended its life, and then Allen returned back to the stream bank.

"Now let's make some fire baby!"
