“BAAAAAaaa” Something roared off from the area that was leading to the pond. Looking that way I saw what looked to be a kid goat with its head covered in spikes with a furless body, the skin was purple with red streaks through it. Headling Lv 7 Tier 1.

Seeing that it was charging straight towards me, I shoot at it using my Inferior Light Bolt sending 4 at its head mostly aiming for its eyes. Halfway through its charge its head burst apart like it wasn't there to even begin with. Instantly killing it on the spot, not really a stronger monster at all. Or maybe my Int made my spells stronger the higher it was. That would make sense seeing of how It would not only boost my mp but also the bite of my spells that was good to consider. Maybe it also increased resistances to magic the higher it was.

Growls, my stomach really wanted to eat something. So who am I to waste a meal that just appeared in front of me. Going towards it, I heard another one of the Headlings baa at me from off in the trees. Not even a second there it was coming my way. Well it wouldn't matter much anymore since it would die soon. Heading Lv 4 Tier 1.

It was weaker than the other one so not much to see from it. I sat down and ripped off a leg as the one still alive ran at me as fast as it possibly could have trying to impale me with the spikes it had on its head. If I didn't have spells that I was able to fire at it with then I might have been in danger of it hurting me or if I was unlucky even die. Still eating the leg in my clawed hands I released two Inferior Void Bolts this time and watched on with interest as they impacted the left side of its head. This time only half of the head was gone. As it collapsed onto the ground skidding only a few feet.

Not very tough are these monsters at all to magic. But I need to train my magical skills to get them to a higher rank to do more stuff with it. I still needed to learn more about the things I can do and when I evolve I will have even more to learn.

I used the blood of the monsters I had just killed and ate to lure out even more to hunt instead of trying to run around or wait for them. Picking up the last one I killed I dragged it around to spread the scent of a monster bleeding out and too weak to mover. This really is messed up looking, just dragging a corpse like a toy through the forest to bring prey. Now back to the open and to cover myself in its blood to smell injured.

10 minutes later something was coming in search of an easy meal. Traceling Lv 6 Tier 1. A 1ft (0.3 m) tall stick thin creature that's body was black, and the eyes were pink. It looked like an insect, having a hunched posture with arms that were resembled a dagger. The legs looked built for speed, being able to bend more to propel Itself. Ambush maybe but perhaps not seeing it walk without hiding. High Agi and Str? This may actually be a challenge to me.

I watched as the thing came forward, how it moved for any sign of weakness. But it was hard to tell from the way it looked and walked. Still not rushing me straight on showed it had a higher level of intelligence than other monsters that would just charge at a moment's notice. Smart, fast, and likely strong too, I was happy to finally have something to fight with that would push me further than the weaklings I have been killing this whole time. I grinned as my sharp teeth showed. “Will you be the one to end my boredom.” I yelled out to it.

It nodded understanding what I was saying to it and seeming just as excited as I was. I had around regenerated almost all of my mp. Leaving me with 122 mp left to use on the Traceling in front of me. Dropping in to a low stance I readied myself, and it did the same. We both let out roars and charged at each other.

4 Inferior Light Bolts and 4 Inferior Void Bolts were fired at the monster in front of me. It used its dagger like ends of its arms to slash at my magic with a glow on the edge being pink. It has a magic slash too. Not able to cut all of them it sidestepped out of the way and was only hit by one void bolt. I have 53 shots left in reserve, but that seemed wrong to waste this fight to just do that.

I still needed to increase void slash to while I'm at it. We were 2ft (0.61 m) apart now it has the reach advantage over me with its arms. Time to push myself today. 1ft (0.3 m) away from me and we stopped to fight. Guess Novice Monster Fighting is going to get some more levels too.

It was way faster than anything I had faced yet here in the Void. This made me glad that not everything was slow and dumb. It used its dagger like hand to slash at me with blinding speed. I took cut after cut from it till I got used to it, It had high speed which it used to bleed out its foes. But that would work on me who could heal.

Slash coming from the left blocked kick right side while open, miss fuck stabbing my leg as I missed. Down to half hp just after 4 minutes of fighting. But as time went by it felt easier to fight at higher speed than I used to fight at. A smile was plastered across my face while we fought each other. This was the funniest fight I had where I could really let loose. I used Inferior Void Slash to block a magic slash from it.

Slash, cut, stab, and ripping everything was like a dance of death as claw meet dagger arm. It tried to slash at my stomach, so I twisted to bite the arm to keep it still and just as I was going to slash it with my right claws it stabbed down for my head. I had to block with my right hand as it bite deep into the flesh, but I held tight not letting go of it giving me an opportunity to land a devastating blow to it.

That's when something interrupted our fight to the death as it slammed into the back of the Traceling knocking it over and me with it. I let go of the Traceling and jumped away to see what had attacked us. Frightkid Lv 1 Tier 2

Why the fuck was a tier 2 doing here in the plains where tier 1 were. Then I recognized the face it had as I had killed a smaller one that had a similar face as this one did. Did I kill its pup? It was over 5ft (1.52 meters) tall and 6ft (1.83 m) long. Fucking thing was huge. I might not win this alone. So I healed myself and the Traceling dropping my mp to below half. “Want to finish our fight later this bastard interrupted the fun we were having.” I said to the insect monster. It only shrugged as it stood up and prepared itself for fighting a tier higher than ourselves luckily it was only a level 1, so it wouldn't be that impossible to kill.

Trace went around it to flank it and bleed it while I took up the job as bait and tank for this fight. 2 light bolts shot towards its face as I backed away from it making it look like I was running from it. It was faster than the Frightling I had killed before but not as fast as the both of us. But it had incredible strength every stomp it made cracked the ground sending little rocks flying as it thrashed around trying to stomp me. At least it wasn't that smart.

Hit and runs were the tactic we had to use because of how tough its skin was it took a lot to damage it. The Trace and I were tired from our fight we had. 20 minutes passed I used everything I had to kill this using only light bolts to do big damage to kill it. 40 minutes passed while we fought it, it was slowly being killed. 10 minutes later it was finally dead the both of us fell to the ground both in ragged states due to pushing are selves too far to kill this stupid thing. Pain lanced through my body as I gulped the air into my lungs. The Traceling was laying on the ground barely moving at all. “Let's fight another day when we both are rested and ready to go. But not until we are strong enough to keep others from interfering with our fight. That sounds good to you.” I was breathing out loudly as talked. Looking over to it raised its dagger hand and waved as if to say okay to me. Good enough for me. After fighting for that long I was hungry again. Crawling over to the dead body I started to saw away at it to get some meat off of it to eat, I also cut some off for the Traceling that was still laying there. Tossing over some to it, I ate and rested there as my resources regenerated enough to head back to the pond. If I stay too long something may come and finish us off. “Want to head back to the pond after resting a bit to fully recover and rest there?” I moaned to it.

It nodded its head as it didn't move while shoving the meat into its maw. That was fine by me, It would be fun to hang out with this strong monster. I can't wait till we can fight again we are tied right now due to outside intervention. It may be more fun to not kill it the next time we fought to, so we can fight again and again after that. I'll look at my notifications after resting at the pond for a while as to not make a mistake when putting points somewhere like Chs. A shiver ran down my spine as I thought of wasting points on something like that.

After 10 minutes of resting we ate some more of the body of the Frightkid and left the plains and headed back to the pond. Nothing attacked us after seeing us kill a tier 2. So the trip was pretty relaxing after a long fight like that. It took a while, but we were finally able to get into the with quite a bit of time left in the day, so we split up and to different sides of the pond to drink and rest. I will check the system notification in after some sleep. I'm so tired hopefully I can sleep this time.
