The next day, Ilario went to the training ground in the morning. He saw hundreds of the young elves who are Bellators. He has never seen most of them before.

“I called everyone here to tell about the good news. We got 10 white apples from the world tree this time,” said Queen Agnes, “as you may well be aware, the white apple can help you to increase your magic power but we have 10 this time. So, you all have to compete by hunting in “The Hunter World”. You all have time to hunt for 3 days inside. I will give this value prizes to the top 10 of highest scores,” Queen Agnes said.

The words from Queen Agnes caused a sensation to all the Bellators. They were exciting and wanting to be the top 10 and get the prizes.

“The scores are up to the level of monsters. It will count automatically after you destroyed the dark magic stone inside monster’s body. The best of luck to you all,” said Queen Agnes, she opened 20 gates to The Hunter World.

“Let’s go, Ilario” Oliver said.

Lyra, Antlia, Norma, Sagitta, Oliver, and Ilario went inside the same gate. There were less Bellators going the same gate with us. He had heard that Lyra, Antlia, Norma, and Sagitta were the best elite among the Bellators here. For that reason, they chose the other gates to increase their chance.

“Good luck,” Lyra said to everyone and left.

“We use the same gate to go back. See you in the next 2 days,” Oliver said and left.

“See you,” Antlia, Norma, and Sagitta said.

We went to the different ways.

The Hunter World was like a virtual world in the game, instead of creating by computer, it was created by Athena Goddess. Everything was created to imitate the real one. The geography of this world was the mountain forest which covered with a lot of trees, large area, and surrounded by river like the island.

‘Day 1’

Ilario detected area first. He wanted to survey the area with an easy mind. He walked through the forest and went near the river to find a place for camping.

He found out that this world was very large and could not detect the whole mountain. He decided to hunt the wild animal to keep the raw foods in his bracelet first. He spent time to hunt the wild boars and catch the fishes a few hours.

He detected area and found the waterfall and a cave nearby. There were dark energies inside the cave. He went inside and found many Basilisks. He burned them all. After he wiped out all the Basilisks, he used the area in the cave for camping.

He knew that many young elves wanted to get the prizes, therefore he did not want to compete with the others seriously. He knew the way to increase his magic power without eating a white apple, moreover he got the special power from Athena Goddess once.

Lyra went to the area that have many monsters by her instinct. She wanted to make scores as much as she can. She aimed to kill the medium and high level of monsters.

She found a group of Minotaurs. She climbed up the tree and hid herself at blind spot. She shot many wind magic arrows at their heads and hearts one by one to slow their movements.

They were throwing the rocks to attack her but she activated “Wind Floating” to fly up in the air to dodge their attacks, then shot fire magic arrows to attack them back.

She continued to attack them by activating “Wind Slashing” to cut off their bodies at vitals area, aimed to cut their hearts. She killed them all very quickly. Afterward, she activated fire magic power on her dagger knife and destroyed all of dark magic stones.

She continued to hunt after destroyed dark magic stones and burned the Minotaurs’ bodies.

★*:.｡. ✧☆✧ .｡.:*★

Antlia walked through the forest. She went deeper inside to find the cave area. She killed the low level of monsters along the way until she found a pack of Lycans.

The Lycans’ instincts were sharp. They knew that Antlia came toward them and prepared to attack her.

Antlia started the fight by shooting fire magic arrows and climbed up the tree.

Two of them followed her and climbed up the same tree while the other Lycans were surrounding the tree.

Antlia activated “Wind Floating” to fly up in the air and shot many fire magic arrows to the Lycans.

Two Lycans that followed her, jumping to catch and attack her but she flew up to dodge their attacks. She flew toward them but still kept distance, then shot fire magic arrows at them one by one. Some of them tried to run away but she followed them and killed them all. She activated fire magic power on dagger knife to destroy dark magic stones and burned all of their bodies.

★*:.｡. ✧☆✧ .｡.:*★

Norma went to the cave area. She found a group of Chimeras. She hid herself and activated “Water Bubble” on their heads and waited for them to suffocate. After a short while, she saw that their movements were slower. She activated “Wind Slashing” to cut off their heads and bodies. Afterward, she activated “Water Purify” to purify and destroy dark magic stones, then burned their bodies.

★*:.｡. ✧☆✧ .｡.:*★

Sagitta walked through the forest and climbed up the large tree to observe the monsters. She found the nest of griffins and went direct to that location. She shot 3 wind magic arrows to the 3 griffins at once. She activated wind magic power to increase her speed, then changed the direction and shot many sets of 3 wind magic arrows to all the griffins.

The griffins started to fly and looked for the source of attacks. They saw her and breathed fire to her angrily.

Sagitta activated “Wind Floating” to make herself float in the air. She was shooting set of fire magic arrows to the griffins continually while activating “Water Shield” to block the fire attacks from the griffins. She increased her magic power on the arrows, then aimed at their heads and vitals areas. She shot at their heads, hearts, and wings. The griffins were killed one by one and fell from the sky. She collected their bodies, destroyed dark magic stones, and burned their bodies.

★*:.｡. ✧☆✧ .｡.:*★

Oliver knew himself very well that he has less magic power than the other in the group but his instinct of hunting and his speed were very outstanding without using magic power. He aimed to make scores by killing a lot of low and medium level of monsters instead of losing time by killing the high level of monsters. He took longer time than the others to kill the high level of monsters.

He walked through the forest and went into the dense area. He found 3 Cerberus. He climbed up the tree and hid himself at blind spot. He activated fire magic power on arrows and speedy shot one of them, hit 2 heads and 1 vitals area. It was badly injured by his attacks.

The other 2 Cerberus ran toward him aggressively. They crashed a tree that Oliver was hiding himself. They continued to crash with stronger force to make him fall.

Oliver changed the tactic. He activated fire magic power on dagger knives, then activated wind magic power to increase his speed. He jumped on the back, one of Cerberus and cut off all of its heads with his speed and force at once.

The other one tried to bite him but he dodged and used the dead body of Cerberus to block its attacks.

He climbed up the other tree and shot the fire magic arrows at its head continually. It ran madly and hit at the tree.

Oliver used the same tactic. He jumped on its back, then cut off all of its heads with his speed and force. Afterward, he destroyed all dark magic stones and burned their bodies.

‘Day 2’

Ilario was woken early by the sound of a woman singing. She has a beautiful voice which attracted to everyone who heard the sound. He went out of the cave and looked for the source of the sound. He saw a beautiful woman, her hair was white, her eyes were jet-black, her lips were ruby-red, and her skin as white as show, she was wearing light blue dress and sitting on the edge of cliff, the source of waterfall. He felt dark magic power from her.

She glanced at him and sang louder.

“Be careful. She wanted to lure you toward her,” mind communicated Luna.

“Is it Siren?” mind communicated Ilario. He had read on the book “How to kill the monsters” but it noted that their forms are different.

“Yes, it is. Fortunately, you are able to use ‘Resistance’ automatically. The men are lured by Siren easily,” mind communicated Luna.

“There are monsters coming,” mind communicated Solaris.

Ilario felt high dark magic power coming from the river. He saw 3 Hydras with 5 heads climbing up from the river. They were slithering toward him quickly. A siren was frightened by the Hydras, she generated her wings and flew away.

He activated “Wind Dragon Wings” to fly up in the air. The 3 of Hydras tried to bite, and spit venom at him. Luna and Solaris used “Light Beam” to burn them.

He activated “Wind Slashing” to cut all 5 heads and body, one of them. He momentarily saw the dark magic stone inside its body. Its body and heads regrow very quickly. Meanwhile, the other 2 Hydras breathed poison continually. Luna used “Light Purify” to purify the poison while Solaris continued to burn them with “Light Beam”.

He took out a bow and arrows. He activated “Lumen” on arrow, then shot at vitals area, aimed at dark magic stone inside its body, the same one that he cut off its heads once. He saw its body melted and did not regrow itself. He did the same with the other one. While he was shooting at one of them, the other one slipped into water to escape. He hurried to kill the remaining one before it could escape. Luna and Solaris burned its body.

He flew down to the ground. Unexpectedly, he felt high dark energies were coming.

“Be careful,” Luna said.

There were 3 Hydras climbed up from the river very quickly. The 2 of them have 9 heads and bigger size. The other one was the one that escaped. They slithered toward him and attacked him quickly. They tried to bite, and spit venom at him but he flew up in the air on time. Some of venom reached to his body, it melted his clothes but his body could resist and heal himself automatically.

He activated “Wind Slashing” to cut all 9 heads and body, one of them, but it regrew itself faster than the five-headed Hydra. He could not see the dark magic stone inside its body clearly.

Meanwhile, the other 2 Hydras were spitting venom at him continually. Luna and Solaris blocked and burned them with “Light Beam”.

He activated “Lumen” on arrow, then shot at vitals area by thinking of the same area as the five-headed Hydra. The arrow missed its dark magic stone. It was not the same area as five-headed Hydra.

He combined magic types by activating “Lumen Slashing” to cut off all 9 heads and body, the same nine-headed Hydra again. He saw its body and heads regrew itself slower than before. He could see dark magic stone clearly this time. He activated “Lumen” on arrow, then shot at dark magic stone quickly. It could not regrow itself. Solaris used “Light Beam” to burn its body.

He did the same with the other 2 Hydras. He could kill it easily and quickly.

There was no more Hydra coming up. He spent the entire day by resting and sightseeing the area.

Lyra went to the area near swamp, she saw 3 Harpies eating fishes. Their appearances were women form with wings on their backs, their bodies were covered with white feathers like bird, their feet and claws were large and looks like eagle’s feet. Their faces were ugly and pale, their eyes were black, their mouth were wide, large jaws, and sharp teeth.

Lyra stood on blind area and shot fire magic arrow at vitals area, one of them. It screamed loudly after it got shot. It looked for the source of attack. Lyra concealed herself with wind magic power and moved to other direction quickly and quietly. She shot fire magic arrow to hit at its heart again. It died on the spot.

The other 2 Harpies saw Lyra and flew up in the air to attack Lyra by throwing dark feathers at her. Everything was rotten when the dark feathers pierced through it. It was like toxic chemical eroded on it quickly.

Lyra activated “Water Barrier” in time, she could block and dodged the attacks.

The 2 Harpies was attacking her with the dark feathers continually. Lyra blocked and dodged, she waited for a chance to attack them back. They screamed loudly, their voices make Lyra felt a bit dizzy. Fortunately, she activated “Water Barrier” all the time, it helped her to absorb the sound.

Lyra activated “Water Bubble” to cover their bodies to make them suffocate. They tried to break out of the water bubbles but Lyra activated more “Water Bubble” to cover them many layers to block their escape and make them suffocate. It took time for a while until they did not move. She shot water magic arrows at their heads and hearts. Afterward, she activated “Water Purify” to purify the dark magic stones and destroyed it all.

Antlia went to the area near the cave. She found a group of Cyclopes, there were 5 of them in total. She climbed up the tree, then shot fire arrows in their eyes quickly. She could hit 2 of them before the other 3 Cyclopes saw her and begun to throw the rocks toward her.

The 2 Cyclopes that got hit on their eyes went wild and ran through the woods, smashing trees madly. They were badly hurt in their eyes and could not see things clearly.

Antlia activated “Wind Floating” to fly up in the air to dodge their attacks and followed the 2 Cyclopes that running and smashing trees madly. She shot fire magic arrows at head, one of them, then activated “Flame Slashing”, the combination of fire and wind magic power, its shape like ‘wind slashing’ but it covered with fire, it made the attack of fire magic power be sharper, to cut off its head. It died instantly from a last hit. She activated fire magic power on sword to cut its body, its skins were very thick, then destroyed dark magic stones inside its body. She burned its body and followed traces of the another one that running to another way.

She activated “Wind Floating” to fly to the sky, looking for the another one. She saw it run madly into the dense forest. She followed it and used the same tactic to kill it.

After she killed the 2 Cyclopes, she flew back to the area where she found a group of Cyclopes but she found nothing. They might go back to their cave.

She continued to hunt and find more medium and high level of monsters.

★*:.｡. ✧☆✧ .｡.:*★

Norma started to hunt since the early morning. She walked through to the dense forest and found a large hive. There were many bees living inside the hive, and X-Apis, a gigantic queen bee in size of human, nearby.

She hid herself silently and activated “Water Bubble” to cover the large hive before the small bees can come out and attack.

X-Apis saw Norma and shot many barbs to attack her. She dodged its attacks. The barbs hit the trees and made the trees rotten damage by the poison.

Norma activated “Water Barrier” to protect herself, then activated “Water Shooting” to attack at X-Apis. It was weak with water. Its movement was slower but it attacked her back by shooting more barbs. She dodged and blocked its attacks. She shot water magic arrows back at its head and body continually until it could not move. She destroyed dark magic stone inside its body and burned it.
