Ch.2 MY FIRST KILL

The Beast was feasting on what appeared to be a humanoid creature or creatures since he could see more than 20 bodies there,

If you don't include the bodies already feasted upon, He could tell there were more limbs scattered than the body count.

They were a goblin-like humanoid creature's, They had green, leathery skin and sharp, pointed ears. There eyes glowed with an eerie yellow light, and the beast didn't have any form of clothing as it was feasted upon by a deer-like beast.

The flames of the deer-like beast casting long shadows, In the background. faint whispers can be heard, adding to the mysterious and slightly ominous atmosphere. Emphasizing the fact that some of monsters were still alive albeit barely But it was unknown for how long the sufferings creature will live.

They were mostly Rank 1 and had one or two Rank 2 monster, but judging by the countless bodies It must have been a monster den.

which was birthed not that long ago by the magical energy of this place.

But they met the misfortune of meeting the deer-like beast not long after there birth and the said monster den was devastated, destroyed and devoured.

The deer-like creature had the body of a deer and the head of an elk with antler-like horns and had muscular build.

The beast eyes were fierce and focused as it devours its prey, the goblin-like humanoid creature, with sharp, predatory teeth.

The larg cavern was dimly lit by its flames, casting eerie shadows on the flat floor. The air was tense and primal, with the burning of flames all around and distant howls adding to the sense of wilderness.

"but it looks like I intrupted it's lunch time, and it's quiet pissed now by the way it's snarling at me" he said as he watched the deer-like creature with curiosity and interest.

'As they say never disrupt a beast when it feasts' he thaught.

After taking another closer look, he could tell the flames were not harming the beast but seems to be a part of the deer-like beast engulfed in its ethereal flames.

It was standing amidst the dark corridor. The flames were a mesmerizing blend of vibrant oranges, and blues, casting an eerie glow on the surrounding rugged walls, with shadows dancing across the ground.

The deer's expression is one full of rage, its eyes reflecting the flickering murderous intent. The many bodies gave the atmosphere both a tragic and mystical air, evoking a sense of otherworldly beauty and dread.

"This beast is strong" he said, as he looked at the dead creature's the magical beast had kill.

"Well, what I think doesn't really matter since it's actually the first living creature I've encounter".

But.. how do I say this... I've only one way to put it

"Weak" he could instinctively tell the beast was weaker than him.

"I don't feel threatened at all by this strange deer-like magical beast" he said as he watched the beast in intrest.

There are nine ranks of magical beast and every rank is further divided into four levels starting from Rank 4.

"This beast is a Rank three beast. While I don't know exactly how stronge I am but my rank is definitely above this beast". He said as he watched the beast slowely closing the distance between them.

He knew all this from the memory he inherited on his birth. There are certainly nine rank of magical beast and every rank after the third is divided into four levels.

Since at that rank a beast gains sentence. So the strength between a rank 3 beast and low level Rank 4 beast is like the difference between haven and earth.

"It's just glaring at me like it can't wait to gobble me up" he mused as he gazed at the beast with a displeased expression.

"Irritating" he said, Hmm... "why did I say that. I just got angry by the way it's looking at me like I am its prey or something when it's clearly not the case".

"If I've to measure it's strength then maybe it's one third of my strength or less I don't know".

"I have no Battle experience or any other type of knowledge that will help me, in accurately measuring it's strength or any other lifeform for that matter".

Anyways, looks like the dear is out of patience since he can see, it's reading some kind of long range fire-type attack to fire at him.

"It has already crossed more than 50 meter distance between us, while I was busy in my own thoughts".

it stopped just a shy of 50 to 55 meter away from him and the moment it's antler-like horns glowed brightly it opened it's mouth to shoot a kind of fire ray at him.

The attack was not fast but since his Battle experience was almost nill and he didn't know what do. so, he just stood there.

The moment he blinked his eyes it was already in front of him, the fire ray hit him square in the chest. He was also unable to make use of my high rank to dodge the attack because of his inexperience.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhjjjjjj..."

He was also quiet curious as to see what would happen if it did hit him so he didn't put up any defenses.

Well he don't know how to put up any defense would be the correct way to put it but we don't have to talk about that now do we.

Since he was still regretting the fact of not dodging the attack or putting up any defenses to block it.

Even if he knew the fact that he couldn't do both of the action he was regretting about because of his close to zero Battle experience.

So when the attack did hit him square in the chest.

He was thrown back like rag doll and hit the wall, then slumped to the ground creating a cloud of dust and debris.

Then came the pain. Something that would be one of the most embarrassing moment of his life in the....

It was the first time he felt something or a sensation like that and he don't want to feel it ever again.

"Ahhh it hurts.....aaaa...haa...hurts....this beast will not die an easy death...haaa..." He said as he grasped for breath.

He got up from the rubbles and looked down where the fire had hit him, precisely at his chest as it had became completely chraised black, well it was already quiet black so the difference was rather negligible and it was already more that 90 percent healed

As he watched it got completely healed in no time he sighed in relief that the pain ended.

It was a thrilling fact that his regenerative abilities were also quiet impressive but again he was in no mood to think about it.

Since he was rather disoriented because of the pain and the fact that his pain tolerance is similar to a child dose not help it either.

"It still hurts hhaaa...." He said as he looked straight at the beast.

His eyes burning with a fury so deep that the darkness around him become more darker almost abyssal, creating a malevolent and eerie atmosphere.

Senseing the change in the surrounding the beast was filled with the feeling of dread and terror, suddenly felling like a strong predator has locked it's eyes upon it.

It could not understand why it was felling like this but when he looked at the being it had just attacked with its techniques as well as it's Strongest techniques and thought had killed already.

He was overwhelmed by a fear so deep that it evolved into dispar.

The beast was paralysed, it couldn't move a single inche.

As a rank 3 beast it's intelligence was almost negligible but it still had its instincts to depend on so it knew that the being was strong, so it had used it's Strongest move, it's technique but why was the being still alive and not dead.

This were the beast last thought before it's death. It didn't even know how it died, It was a painless and swift death.

How can a rank 3 beast who has not encountered a beast stronger that it be able to accurately tell how stronge the being it had tried to kill was...
