Sleep was good this time no feeling invading me and making me do crazy shit like last time. Slept for at least a few hours I think, it's kinda hard to tell time here. I still needed to get up and ready to train some more before going out to hunt again. Might leave to hunt some mind hives servants to get used to fight a larger number of beings at once.

Standing up my body cracked and popped as I stretched to loosen my muscles. After limbering up I began to move my body around like last time. No monster was present at the pond and the Traceling was gone too.

5 hours passed with training my body and magic, even the skin with the tentacles barely did anything to me now. But I waited to check my notifications. I would check them after the others monsters came back here, I probably had an hour or two left before they did return. 2 hours passed before I heard something moving in the treetops heading this was, so I stopped and watched as a frog jumped down to the clearing around the pond and on its back was a smaller frog. It had black skin with gold eyes and a mouth. Toxic Frogs Lv 13 Tier 2.

I tried not to stare at it because it didn't seem friendly at all and looked like it wanted to eat me right here and now. I moved to the other side of the pond far away from it.

It was time to finally check the notifications I had received from earlier when I was out today.

You have slain two Headlings of different levels exp is being awarded.

You have slain a Tier 2 Lv 1 Frightkid with help exp is being awarded. No bonus exp awarded due to help from another.

You have reached Lv 8/10 Str +6, Int +6 and Vit +3, Free points +6.

Due to training your physical and magical abilities you have Str +2, Agi +4, Vit + 6, and Int +1. To increase further you will have to train even harder next time. Push yourself to even higher heights.

The following skills have ranked up.

Inferior Void Bolt Lv5/5 → Basic Void Bolt Lv1/6. Inferior Light Bolt Lv5/5 → Basic Light Bolt Lv 1/6. Inferior Void Slash Lv5/5 → Basic Void Slash Lv 1/6. Inferior Healing Lv5/5 → Basic Healing Lv1/6. Inferior Stamina Regeneration Lv4/4 →Basic Stamina Regeneration Lv1/10. Inferior Mana Manipulation Lv3/3 → Basic Mana Manipulation Lv 1/5. Inferior Mana Regeneration Lv4/4 → Basic Mana Regeneration Lv1/10. Inferior Void Magic Lv5/5 → Basic Void Magic Lv1/7. Inferior Light Magic Lv5/5 → Basic Light Magic Lv1/7. Inferior Rot Resistance Lv 5/5 → Basic Rot Resistance Lv1/8.

Gained Skills → Inferior Light Resistance Lv1/4. Inferior Void Resistance Lv1/4.

All the free points went straight into Int making it 37 points and my mp was 190/190 now. My magic just got some huge gains making it a hell of a lot stronger than it was before. Firing off a new Basic Light Bolt it was still 2 mp to cast but holy shit, it parted the tree like it was nothing splitting the tree in half.

Looking at me the frog was annoyed that I was using my magic here and croaked at me watching with the corner of its eye.

The spell power had increased so much from how much Int I had, and it was now a basic instead of inferior like it used to be. If this was the increase that it had from ranking up what would it do if it was to rank up again.

5 minutes passed and I got 1 mp back. Nice so every 5 minutes to regenerate 1 is nice to have. Probably the same in the other skills that increase regeneration. That would mean that I would be able to last far longer in a fight. I have to get the stamina one from inferior to basic at the very least if I wanted to kill the hive mind and the horde it had. I just can't leave that thing alive it would feel wrong to do something like that.

Still I needed to be smart about hunting the hive mind. Hit-and-run might work to lower the numbers it has, but I can't be certain if that would work at all. It could be able to grow more pawns or capture them without me thinking it had more just to be overwhelmed with the sheer number they have. Two would be to force all of them onto the plains to fight me and slaughter them all there and run if need be. Lastly would just be to sneak into there and kill the hive mind without it noticing anything was wrong. But let's be honest with myself I couldn't sneak much less dispatch it that way because I can't sneak for shit. 1 and 2 were the only options I really had if I was to go through with this. So I could try to ask some other monster for help, but that meant making myself appear weak to them so no.

The second one sounded easier to me than running around in the forest trying to find where it was located at. And after killing them all follow the trail back to the nest and kill it off. So fuck it that's the plan and nothing is going to change it. But should I wait until tier 2 or right before it evolve to tier 2. There might be bonuses to killing them all while in tier 1. It would be more fun that way too, slaughtering them all while they all die under my clawed foot. My blood started to boil again thinking about those things again.

Calm and relax I need to learn how to best use these new skills now instead of wasting time raging around like an idiot. Need to take a look at my status page anyway.

I am so much stronger than I used to be. Wow, training paid off well I should be much stronger than I normally should have been. It's time to eat again feeling my stomach rumble after everything I had done. I'm just going to get just a bit stronger before I decide to begin the real hunt. But for now time to get so food.
