“ An advanced skill? Seriously? “

Leave it to the rich kids to ruin the game’s balance, they probably hired hundreds of players and went to attack bandits and monsters.

That’s what Jamie talked while acting all innocent, as if he wasn’t the biggest balance breaker out there ....

When they arrived at the next nest , Jamie was fired up and wanted to finish things up quickly.

He covered his arms with aura and wrestled with the bear until he brought it down .

“ Go protect the lord “

Ralph’s swords met the female bear claws while the other 2 went near Jamie to ensure his safety.

“Swift bullet “

His attack pierced the male bear’s neck and a lot of blood came out .

Him and the others didn’t even take anytime to rest, they repeated what they did until they had killed 10 out of the 12 bears .

“Ughh these bastards are getting tougher” complained Ralph just as he removed his sword from the female bear body.

“Is it me or are the female ones much stronger than the males “

“ it’s not the strength, its their brains .

The male ones can easily be baited while the female ones are more cautious in nature, making them harder to kill “

What he said was correct, it also meant that he had to fight the female bear 1 vs 1 this time and leave the male one to his men .

“ Ralph , the last nest it there “

He pointed towards a small cave .

“ You will go in and use Taunt to draw the male bear away from the female one .

Argon and Finnan will wait in ambush while I’ll go fight the female one on one “

Jamie’s plan made sense but they still looked reluctant to let him place himself in danger, what if he died ? What were they supposed to do without a lord ?

“Just do as I say , once you finish off the male bear come help me to kill the female one “

Once they were convinced, Ralph ran towards the cave’s entrance and used his skill Taunt .

An invisible and colourless sound beam came out of his mouth and echoed inside the cave driving the bears insane , the male one soon came out enraged by it .

“Holy molly its so big “

He was probably twice bigger than the alpha wolf, his fur was brown and looked impenetrable . His eyes were red and his claws at least twice as big as the normal bears .

Once he spotted Ralph he came running towards him , each step of the monster would crack the very earth .

“ Rock Shard “

A small and pointy matter made of rock material started forming on Jamie’s palm , it’s size grew every second that passed .

And just as Ralph’s twin swords were about to meet with his claws, Jamie released the rock shard which hit the beast’s chest and sent him crashing to the woods , right where the heavy spearmen were waiting .

“Argon , now “

Before the bear could even stand up again, the two men thrusted their spears right on his heart living him dead .

“This is weird , didn’t he go down a little too easy ? “ said Argon while wiping the blood from his spear by using the dead bear’s fur .

“ It’s not easy, it’s just that the lord’s skill was too strong for it “

Truth is, even Jamie himself was surprised by the rock shard that he took from the alpha wolf, this would have ended a lot sooner if he had used it against other bears but the energy it spent was enormous. He could only use it one more time !

“ I get that the lord’s skill was too strong, but why isn’t the female one out yet ? “

Ralph was used to seeing the females go berserk after their male partner died, but this one didn’t even release a war cry .

“It might be risky but I’m still gonna go in, ready your shields men “

Argon and Finnan prepared their shields , stood in front of Jamie and led the way in .

The cave’s entrance wasn’t blocked which worked on their favour , not only did it mean that they could sneak in without noise but it also meant that it wont be dark inside .

“ It’s much smaller than the Dire Wolf cave, which means that at least there wont be many bears living inside “

Just like most humans, he was also worried of the unexpected which is why he told everyone to proceed cautiously.

“ Lord I think we found the female bear “

“Wait but why is she laying down, is she dead ? “

Jamie told them to get out of his way and walked closer to the female bear .

She was still breathing but looked like she would die soon , a lot of weird movements were happening inside her belly .

“I’ll put you out of your misery “

He pointed his finger on her heart and used ‘ Swift Bullet ‘ to kill her as less painfully as he could “

WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT

“ Congratulations to player BloodVenerable for being the second player to slay a lord rank creature . He is awarded with 1 gold coin and the Basic Taming skill manual “

“So the female was the lord class creature huh, not the male ! We humans are really stereotypical when it comes to strength aren’t we “

Ralph and the others smiled and then went to collect the monster core before the body disappeared, but once they went near it 4 bear claws cut through the female’s belly .

“ What the F### , lord am I seeing things?”

“You know Ralph, for a warrior you’re too much of a coward. Can’t you see she was just pregnant “

In the past he had heard of Dunma Bears eating their own mother at birth which made them much more ferocious and scary, but seeing it live was disgusting.

“ what do we do with them? Do we kill them ? “

Ralph opened her belly with his sword and took out 2 bear babies about the size of his leg , once they were out the body disappeared and dropped 1 gold coin and one profession changing gate .

“ Take her claws, meat and fur back to the village. And of course take the babies with you as well . I’ll come back later after I have explored for a little bit “
