《Reboot》Chapter 35
Advertisement
Watching the sun rise, Rei rubbed the bloodstains left on his armor with a compressed piece of snow. Let the body of the players, as well as the inhabitants of this world, and could not get dirty, but it did not concern the clothes. Somehow, he got to his feet and looked around.
Nine corpses of Zurds still lay nearby, more than eight dozen of them died that night. Only seventy souls remained inside Ray now, the rest was spent on recuperation and treatment of minor bruises. As it turned out, the claws of these creatures could not penetrate the Gilfar armor, but the blows were still quite strong, although the Zurds managed to get to the guy only four times, and even then only because at some point, he decided to pay more attention to the neighbor battle.
As a result, Dagger Mastery has grown to the third level, unlocking the Cleave skill. He had already managed to test it, literally cutting the body of one of the creatures in half, which even impressed him a little. However, it was precisely because of this that he had to scrub the armor from a large amount of blood that had fallen on it.
The ability recharged for only forty seconds, but in battles with Zurds, it was not really necessary to use it. These creatures were already quite fragile due to the ability of the hunter, which increased the damage incoming on them, and getting used to their movements a little, Rey even took off his hood, which, although it was not too thick, but due to the strong material, could still protect your head.
Now the guy was standing in front of a small tree, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other. Taking a step to the side, he looked at the notch inscribed on another tree. These two trees, as thick as a grown man's thigh, were two meters apart.

Moving away from them forty meters, Rey stood up so that they were on the same line. Pulling his bow, he aimed a little to the right of the first tree. If he had fired, the arrow would have passed a couple of centimeters from the barrel, but the guy did not care. Memorizing the position of his hands, he turned his full attention to the arrow and slowly lowered the string.
Leaving behind the green light of the Enhanced Shot, the projectile covered forty meters in an instant, but when it flew near the first tree, the same green light flashed to its right, forcing it to deviate.
"HM. Still difficult…”
Walking up to the trees, Ray realized that the arrow had not hit the notch, it lacked almost ten centimeters. The trajectory correction was very difficult to perform, because it had to be used at the moment when the arrow was in the air, which would be almost impossible for the reflexes of an ordinary person.
For a forestry, changing the direction of a normal shot was not difficult, so Rei only practiced with a shot whose speed was increased by a skill, trying to perfect the adjustment to the limit.
Having pulled out an arrow from the tree, which almost half entered it, the guy sadly noticed that there was no tip on it - it remained in the barrel. Sighing, he threw it away and pulled out a new one.
The skill cooldown took three minutes, so Ray had time to think.
“Definitely worth staying here and completely killing the Zurds. Who knows how the situation will turn out later, maybe I will have a hard time, and this supply of souls may be the key to survival.
"Plus, they're just great for leveling specializations."
“Maybe it’s worth destroying squads of up to ten individuals only in close combat?”

Turning the arrow in his hands, the guy looked into his inner space. Most of all, he was interested in the soul of a person, which contrasted strongly with the rest, because the only one was completely green. Even after she became like this, Rei didn't notice any changes in the human body other than the color of her hair and eyes. And if there was growth, it was very scanty.
“Well, the fact that the Many-Faced grows along with it makes this soul very useful.”
“Don't waste your souls on her just yet. The current amount of internal space is more than enough for me. These saved souls will be able to help me in a difficult situation, and even if they are not needed, I can still feed them to her at any time. - Thinking about this, Ray turned his gaze to another soul, which he had already forgotten about. The little gray soul of the snake was still a little fuzzy. Rei didn't know the reason for this, but he didn't forget about the hole in which he found the egg and the strange black smoke that escaped from it as it broke.
All this time, he could not feel safe because of the strange animals living in this part of the forest, but next to the Zurds, the sense of danger was not so acute. These creatures could only push with numbers, but were too stupid to move silently, so Rei was sure he could spot them before they got close.
“Maybe it’s so fuzzy because the animal had not yet been born when I killed it?”
Rey didn't like this feeling of incompleteness a bit, so after breaking one of the Zurds' souls, he directed its energy towards the Sun Eater's soul.
It was difficult to predict the result, perhaps this amount of energy would have been enough for this soul, but after a moment, the guy realized that this was not enough. The image of the serpent did indeed become less smoky, but nothing more.
Frowning, Rei broke two more souls, but the result was repeated. Three, six... Only on the ninth soul did the image of the serpent become clear enough to match the rest of the souls.
"Voracious snake, despite the size." - Thinking about it, Ray took off his armor and in a moment the black body of the snake, which became larger, fell on the snow. Feel more.
The length, now reaching one and a half meters and the thickness not inferior to the hand of a child, surprised the guy very much.
“Not bad, but still no poison. Only ruined such an inconspicuous body." - again turning into a forest man, he mentally scolded himself for his haste, because it was possible to pour in souls gradually.
“Although…” - after thinking for a while, Rei became a snake again and with perfect swift movements rushed towards the burrows of the Zurds, who should now be sleeping.
Approaching one of the holes in the ground, he carefully examined everything and was able to notice small accumulations of heat far ahead.
"Sight is really much better than that of a snow kite."
After some thought, Ray decided not to crawl any deeper. Even if he could kill several of them in his sleep, he would lose a great opportunity to practice combat in doing so.
Having got to the surface, he decided to hunt other animals, since now he knew exactly when the Zurds wake up.
