Ashpheran Mountains ( Part 2)

During the hunt, August went to his home every night at dinnertime so as not to keep them worried. He would eat his meal and then come back to his room and lock it, then go back to the Ashpheran mountains. He wanted to know if there was an emergency in his house, so he used her sister's system to notify all changes in the house. It was really convenient for him to monitor all things. If her mother had a system, he would also put her in his command, but she was not awakened.

When the eighth morning came, they had wiped out most of the beasts in the Ashpheran mountains. The only beasts left were A rank beasts, that August left for Fatty and Daisy to finish.

" Bro... We hunted all the beasts, can we move on to the next zone?"

" There is a final hunt yet to come. I have a surprise for you."

" That doesn't sound right.." Fatty lamented.

Daisy didn't say anything. When she first discovered that August could travel anywhere he wanted, she was shocked at first. She thought they will go to the Ashpheran mountains by vehicle and then August will take them to the valleys. The distance limit she heard was really fake. Then how come the DoA didn't know about this? She pondered how he could cheat the monolith, which was never wrong in showing skills. Its accuracy has been proven years ago. If August had no cap on the distance and also no cooldown time, then he definitely had an S rank skill.

On top of that monstrous power, she thought he might be one of the top S classes in the awakened community. But yesterday her entire hypothesis turned to dust when she saw the SS rank beast's corpse. That was beyond anything an S rank or even an SS rank user could do alone. That was not humanly possible. Her sense of reason vanished after that. She couldn't believe that it was an SS rank beast. But the core was really powerful. Even if it wasn't an SS rank beast, it was definitely higher than an A rank, and she was sure of it.

" Now, let's proceed to the final test."

August teleported them to a horde of A rank beasts. There were about 50 or so A rank beasts that were scattered all over that valley. They were not in unison but they were not fighting among themselves either.

" How are they staying together without fighting for territory?" Daisy exclaimed.

" No chit chat. If you want to finish the hunt by today, you have no time to waste." August firmly said.

Fatty and Daisy drew their weapons and approached the horde. August looked at their improvement through their status window.

' Hmm, he is improving but to reach 100 in one month, it's not fast. I need to think of something else.'

He looked over to Daisy who was aiming her gun towards an A rank beast.

' She also gained a lot, still, it is not as fast as I thought.'

August used his newly acquired flight skill to float above the valley. He could've used flight using his force but he had the cosmic bridge so he didn't think he needed to fly when he can literally go anywhere in a heartbeat.

Usually, A rank beasts and above don't stay in a group, they have a sense of pride and don't want to share their territory. These A rank beasts were placed here by August and he made them stay together. At first, they started fighting and killing each other, but August released his authority and they would just shut up. After a week, there was little to no conflict.

Fatty and Daisy approached an A rank beasts of their own. Fatty used his increased strength and enhanced his hammer with aura. The beast that looked like a feline with a lizard-like tail. His newly increased B rank aura boosted the A rank hammer to make heavy damage. As he moved his hammer to the beast's head, the beast turned his head and slammed fatty with its tail.

" Damn, this tail."

Fatty got back to his position and when the tail came at him again he ducked and hit the tail with his hammer.

" Take that."

As fatty ran to the front of the beast, two claws approached from his right. He used his hammer to block the claws, but they were pressing themselves on him. Fatty used all his Aura into the hammer and deflected the claw.

" Haaaa" Fatty got up and jumped at the beast who was unbalanced at the moment.

*BAAAM*

The hammer struck the skull of the beast and a cracking sound ensued. The beast's eyes rolled upwards and its body fell on the ground.

"HAA .. HAA... HAA… HAA…" Fatty gasped for air.

He looked around to see how Daisy was doing and he saw a couple of corpses already scattered where she went.

" Damn, she already killed that many." Fatty was feeling the pressure of competition.

August, who was looking at the both of them from above nodded his head.

' That kid is surely adapting to this fast. Fatty is a little behind, but he'll get there. After all, Daisy had some training before, whereas fatty didn't use his power in hunting before. The beasts in the front are also around level 60, so Daisy is having an easy time for now.'

Meanwhile, Daisy was moving on to her 5th beast, which looked like a hyena with a mane all around its head.

" Disgusting." Daisy pulled her trigger and the bullet coated with aura hit the mane of the beast, as it reacted and turned its head sideways. The bullet went in quite a bit but didn't pierce its skin. The beast became mad and ran towards her.

" Not letting you get near me."

Daisy jumped back and ran towards a big tree, the beast followed her and used its claws to shoot crescent wind blades at her. She jumped and ran upwards in the tree trunk, and flipped backward.

The beast that was in the bottom of the trunk stopped and looked upwards.

" Got you now."

*BANG* *BANG*

Two aura enforced bullets pierced through the eyes of the beast and it slumped on the ground.

Fatty, who was sitting beside the corpse of the beast that he just killed, opened his mouth wide open. He got up quickly and ran towards another beast near him.

" Damn, I can't let her see me slacking off."

' Hoho, looks like fatty got his motivation.' August smiled softly.
