Thank you everyone for reading my fiction.

=================================

“You want to run? Not so fast”, said Acma with a cold voice. He took out his bow and began chasing the harpies.

The harpies were too distracted because of fear. Instead of flying higher across the cliffs, they choose to fly low between the cliffs, not far from the ground. They flew low but faster. Maybe there was less wind resistance inside the valley compared to across it.

Acma maintain his chase. Since the harpies was the one who attacked him first, so he was just returning the favour. When the harpies was within his effective range, he nocked an arrow and snipe the harpies.

“Swiissh” “Swissshh” “Swisssshhh”

The harpies couldn’t avoid the arrows because they don’t have an eye behind their head. So all the arrows meet their target. If one arrow couldn’t bring down the prey, Acma would sniped it again until it fell to the ground. On the ground, Silver was waiting with its jaws open, ready to finish the harpies.

One by one, the number of harpies have been reduced to only a few of them. These remaining harpies were the fastest in the group. Before long, Acma decided to stop his chase because his preys already disappeared into the mountain range.

Silver returned to his side and Acma decided to take a brief rest to recover. He believed that the harpies won’t return for a while, so he was safe now. His mana was almost depleted . He had several vials of mana potion but he wanted to use them when he was in desperate situation like fighting a super strong enemies or battling a huge amount of enemies. Currently he wasn’t desperate enough to use the potion. So he wanted to recover his mana naturally.

He sat crossed legs on the ground while pondering about how to increase the speed of his mana recovery. In the previous world, whenever he was exhausted, he would meditate to increase the recovery of his energy. If mana had the same properties as the energy, he probably could increased the mana recovery through meditation.

“Its no use to overthink about it. I should just try it and see the result”, thought Acma as he slowly closed his eyes and meditate. After a few minute, he checked his status and found out that his mana was recovering. So he continued the process until his mana was full again. It took about 30 minutes.

“I have level up 14 times. Not bad at all. Hmmmm... How about the loot. I hope the lizard king drop a card” “Open: Inventory”

“There it is”, he shouted happily as he saw the new summon card available inside the inventory. It was the lizard king card. He quickly placed it on his summon deck and then proceed to summon it.

“Summon: Blood Lizard King”

A big lizard materialized in front of him, next to Shiro.

You have learned Poisonous Breath skill

‘...’

He can’t imagine himself letting out a blood red gas from his mouth. He definitely won’t use this skill in front of people or he will die from embarrassment. Unless its a totally emergency case to save his live.

Watching the built of his new summon, Acma was satisfied. He planned to use the lizard as a defender because of its extremely tough skin and poisonous mist that came out of its mouth. If anything tried to attack it, the lizard could use its powerful tail and jaws to counter attack. Now Acma has an attack and defender summon. He was looking forward for the next summon that he will get. After he fully comprehend the abilities of the lizard king, he unsummon it.

“Time to go”, said Acma. He stood up and start walking.

From afar, he could hear a familiar screaming. The harpies scream. They had returned. He raised his head up and look towards the sources of that screaming. He saw several dots in the sky that was getting bigger and bigger. The numbers this time were not as many as before. However, among the newcomers, there was one harpy that was slightly bigger than the others. Its feather has a silver and blue colour, compared to dark black of the others. Its face showed arrogance, like it was looking down at anything beneath it.

“Another summon card”, said Acma joyfully when he saw that elite mountain harpy. Acma has came to understanding after he got the lizard king card, that only an elite or above rank monsters will became the summon card. As for common and uncommon monsters, he already killed a lot of them, but none of them became a summon card. However he wasn’t sure either this only applied to him or to the others too. He would confirmed about this when he reached Orca Village later.

Acma took out his Dragon Slayer and he was thinking about the best way to kill that elite harpy. Among many choices, he decided to kill it with the fastest move, the Black Hole. He aimed his left hand at the elite harpy and ready to release the spell.

However, before he could chant the word, the elite harpy retreated several feet backward and flew erratically. Looks like its subordinate already gave a detailed report about the previous battle.

“Damn, this one is smart”, cursed Acma as he planning an alternative battle strategy in his head.

‘SCCCRRRRRRKKKKKYYYAAAAA’

The elite harpy gave a loud battle cry to start the second round of the battle. The harpies quickly divided themselves into two groups, one group attacked Silver with wind blades and the other group attacked Acma physically. Looks like the group that attacked Acma had a faster speed than the others. Whenever they saw Acma raised his left hand, they would scattered away as fast as possible.

“This is fun”, muttered Acma slowly. Watching the reaction of those harpies, Acma feel amused and he wanted to teased them a little. From time to time he would playfully raised his left hand and then do nothing. This action has enraged the harpies greatly, but they could do nothing because they were too afraid of him.

On the other side, the attacks on Silver wasn’t successful either. Shiro was nimble, fast and his silver fur was capable to withstand the wind blades. This has rendered the harpies helpless. The elite harpy was enrage greatly and gave a louder scream as its eyes looked at Shiro sternly.

‘SCCCRRRRRRKKKKKYYYAAAAA’

“NOW” “Blink”

Instantly, Acma appeared behind the elite harpy in the sky, 500 meters from the ground. Before the elite harpy could do anything,

“SLAAAASH”

One of its wing have been cut off by Acma’s blade and its body slowly falling to the ground.

All of this happened in less than a second. Acma had defeated the elite harpy elegantly. Since Acma was incapable of flying, after floating in the sky for a second, he also was falling to the ground. But, Acma had already anticipated this when he formulated the plan earlier and use Phantom Step to land on the ground.

‘SCCCRRRRRRKKKKKYYYAAAAA’

The elite harpy was screaming pitifully on the ground while the other harpies stared at it. They were shocked. Their leader was on the ground, struggling to stand up. The dark creature with a weapon on his right hand slowly approaching their leader, but they don’t know what to do. Retreat, right now, was the best action they could do.

Acma look at the retreating harpies emotionlessly. This time, he didn’t feel like to chase them anymore.

SCCCRRRRRRKKKKKYYYAAAAA’ The elite harpy let out another scream.

“Shut up”, said Acma coldly as he slashed its neck and kill it immediately.
