Chapter 31 - Peshrooms Again

I prepared my spear and I fix my posture.

I'm ready to fight.

My opponent and my enemy are Peshroom.

Why am I hunting that monster again?

I have two reasons. The first was to eat the meat and Magic Stone of that monster as much as ten-wait a minute!

I've eaten one Magic Stone of that monster and I've never eaten its meat. So... Nine for the Magic Stone and ten for the monster's meat.

Anyway, that was my first reason.

For the second reason. I want to get used to using the Arte that I get. I want to know my limits when I use those Arte in a fight.

How long can I last?

I'm looking for answers to that question.

"Su! Su!"

Ah! Right!

"Sorry, Mr. Peshroom. I'm being rude by daydreaming when we're going to fight."

"Su! Su!" With a loud cry, the Peshroom sprinted to me.

Both of its arms spun quickly and were ready to harm my body. The monster looked terrifying because of its fierce attitude.

I stepped to the left side to dodge Peshroom's attack. I used the monster to discern my fighting ability and the state of my body.

I can say, thanks to the training given by Vier, I became more proficient at evading Peshroom's attacks. I can also foresee the actions and attacks it will make.

As for my body.

I can control it well. I no longer encounter any lag, discomfort, or stiffness when moving this body.

"Yup! I am satisfied with this!" I nodded as I maintained my distance from Peshroom.

"Su! Suu!" The monster got angry and then dashed at me.

"Come!" I said.

Then, I channeled the energy inside my body into both of my arms. The thing I just did made the spear in my hand emit red light.

I moved toward the monster. And when the distance between us was less than four steps, I said, "[Red Piercing]"

My spear shot quickly then pierced Peshroom's body strongly. This attack took the monster by surprise then being frozen for a while.

After its consciousness returned, the Peshroom thrashed around trying to break free from the spear that pierced its body.

It wants to be free. Therefore I helped it to free itself by giving it a powerful kick right in its face.

"Su~~"

A strange sound reverberated when the monster fell and rolled on the ground. And surprisingly enough, the monster was still alive after receiving my Arte.

Are these monsters strong? Or am I who is weak?

"I am weak. And I believe that's the right answer." I made a bitter smile and then moved toward the monster.

"I need to raise my level as soon as possible." With that statement as a sign, I began to stab Peshroom who was trying to get up.

Moments later, Peshroom died.

I put down my spear and unsheathed my dagger. I approached the monster's corpse and then started to dismember it.

I grab the Magic Stone and the monster's flesh before walk away to look for the other Peshroom.

When I fought against the Peshrooms, I used and tried to master the four Artes I had.

Red Piercing, Fast Swing, Throw, and Impale.

Red Piercing. This Arte was an attack in the form of a stab. Speed became the core of this attack.

Using Red Piercing, I made three holes in the body of a Peshroom before the monster finally died.

Fast Swing is an Arte in the form of two cutting attacks using the spearhead. Speed was also at the core of this attack.

And I can say that Fast Swing is faster and weaker than Red Piercing. This Arte is perfect for cutting Peshroom arms and legs quickly.

Throw. As the name suggests, this was an attack in the form of throwing a spear. This Arte was quite risky to use because basically, one had to dispose of her/his weapon to execute this attack.

After I threw my spear to stab Peshroom in the head, I had to use my short sword to kill it.

The last one is Impale. Long story short, this Arte is just like Red Piercing but with superior piercing abilities. It was stronger but slower than Red Piercing.

Impale is a cool Arte. I can blow up Peshroom's head using this Arte. For the first time, I managed to kill a monster with a single strike.

So yes! I used those four Artes to kill four Peshrooms. And I can tell that I can use those four Artes pretty well.

The sun was high in the sky and I was currently carrying roughly ten kilograms of Peshroom's meat. Therefore, I decided to take a break, this is the perfect time to cook this Peshroom's meat.

I went to Westwood forest to find firewood and make a campfire. This is according to my plan because I will collect medicinal plants that grow within that forest.

I took a Gathering Quest. Someone wanted me as an adventurer to collect ten batches of medicinal plants called Green Herb.

I'll collect that Green Herb later. Right now, I'm going to cook my Peshroom's meat first. I was pretty hungry because I didn't eat breakfast this morning.

I plan to make Mushroom Soup and Fried Mushrooms. Those two dishes will be simple because I don't have complete seasonings and other groceries.

I want to hunt monsters instead of picnicking.

It's already quite silly when I bring pots and pans when I hunt monsters. And of course, I packed them into a leather bag. I don't hang those two things outside the leather bag because I want to look like crazy.

Let's stop talking about crazy people.

Now is the time for me to eat the dishes I make. And to be honest, I'm curious about the taste of the meal.

"Wow! I'm impressed! This Peshroom's meat is more delicious than I thought. I only use simple spices but this mushroom treat is like a dish made using the best foodstuffs."

Peshroom's meat is delicious!

It was more than enough to keep my hand that holding the spoon and my mouth that is chewing food keep moving without a break.

And after ten kilograms of cooked Peshroom's meat disappear into my stomach...

< Stamina up! SP + 2 >

< Stamina up! SP + 2 >

< Stamina up! SP + 2 >

< Stamina up! SP + 2 >

< Stamina up! SP + 2 >

I got an extra ten points for my SP. I can still eat five more Peshrooms. That means I can still get another ten points for my SP.

Unique Skills are dreadful!

Now! Since I'm full enough, let's round-up that Green Herb! And Oh! I forgot to eat the Magic Stone candy! My adventure this time will be more fun when I enjoy candy.
