Chapter 260 - An Unbreakable Spirit Part One

Fell's eyes focused on the small mountain that laid in the shadows, and his nose twitched as he recognized the smell of a creature's blood.

"A freshly mutated beast, straight out of today's battlefield.", Fell said as he rose to his feet and began approaching the creature. As he stepped toward it, his eyes began focusing on it's a massive figure, and a beast akin to a venison with a massive fork-shaped sharp horn entered his sigh.

Fell couldn't help but whistle softly as he understood why Akainmhar picked up such a creature from the battlefield. A mutated herbivore was quite a rarity in the outside world, and he couldn't help but think that such animal would not only help him recover tremendously but would also be a delicacy that would be hard to find.

"Nice pick.", he exclaimed Fell as he began approaching the creature's fork. "Look like it was quite the fierce beast…", mumbled Fell as he noticed a broken horn from the side where its neck had been twisted.

"Yeah, I wanted to make sure there wouldn't be too much damage in fear of worsening its taste.", he exclaimed with a broad smile.

"Well, let's cook this bastard", exclaimed Fell while stepping toward the appetizing looking beast in front of him. His hand caressed the sharp bones on the top part of the creature's head, and his eyes couldn't help but light up as he noticed their excessive sharpness.

He noticed a strange pattern on the bony swords fork horns, and not even a few seconds passed that he already decided to keep the horns. His sword glinted and flew out of its sheath in the direction of the base of the horns. A clean lightning fast fluid motion was executed in a single moment before Soldier's Fortune reappeared inside of its sheath.

Akainmhar saw the whole situation without missing a single frame of it. His eyes lit up as he couldn't help but notice the youth in front of him in a new light.

"Those are quite the though bone.", he exclaimed as even he had to turn serious to break part of it. Although killing the creature itself didn't turn out to be a challenge for the red haired gladiator. But the smooth action of Fell cutting the horn caused him to reconsider the youth's strength.

Even though he had respected Fell's strength, he had always thought that he was the senior in terms of power and cultivation. But now, he could see the speed of Fell's grow, and senses that the youth in front of him wouldn't take long to transform into a fierce dragon.

"Got another sword like this?", asked the red haired man with a grin on his lips. "I've got nothing to cut this fat crea-", he stopped as his arm moved, his hand caught a sharp glinting object.

"This will do.", he added as his eyes caught on the knife in his hand.

The massive horn in front of Fell disappear with a touch from his hand, and the next moment, a similar-looking knife appeared in his hand. And he stepped toward the beast as he began making several incisions all over her massive body.

A grim expression was on his face, and he analyzed the beast's morphology to further better his work as he didn't experiment a lot when it came to skinning animals. It took him a whole minute to finish making incision all over the beast's body and he stepped toward the creature's twisted neck.

He stood on top of it, and judged the position where the blood would flow toward. His arm snapped, and a lightning fast cut was unleashed on the side of the creature's twisted neck. A second passed, then a spring of warm blood escaped from the creature's body and began painting the metallic floor red.

The carcass was being emptied of liters upon liters of blood every few seconds, and before long, the blood began spilling from the side of wall. A metallic smell entered Fell's nose, and he couldn't help but sense the purity contained in this blood.

"Crap, I should have taken this blood. It might have been beneficial for my recovery.", he mumbled as he noticed that blood had stopped flowing.

"Guess I'll just do with a little amount of blood in the heart. It might do if it's purity is high enough.", he thought as his arm moved once again. This time, a thin line had appeared around the whole neck, and the next moment the hornless venison head dropped on the floor with several drops of blood following it.

He waited for the last bit of blood to flow out from the headless trunk of the creature, and the next moment, he began moving toward one of the many incisions on the beast. He sat near one that he had made on the creature's hoof, and his lung expanded as he took a big inhale that he soon inhaled inside of the creature's skin.

An influx similar to an air propeller entered the space between the creature's fur and skin, and soon he began pumping the creature's body. A scene similar to balloon expanding happened till the venison had more than tripled inside.

Then, Akainmhar saw Fell grab his knife, and his working speed at a lightning speed rate. Several cuts were unleashed in a second, with only the light from his knife appearing in the darkness. And before long, he began taking the deerskin starting from the hooves. His muscles bulged, and the carcass didn't resist his strength, as the creature's hairy skin began peeling in few seconds.

Before long, naked venison sat on what had been its hairy skin. Its ample sized muscles were barehanded, and Fell couldn't help but move his head in a satisfied manner.

"A beautiful piece.", he mumbled as his body began moving once again. He separated the animal into many cuts, and organized them on the animal skin in a mechanical manner. It was just the second time he had skinned a beast, but the profound experience he had gathered in the many battlefields field with fierce creatures and animals was something that came out handy.

A single look on the creature in front of him had been all to understand the necessary step needed to skin the creature. Cutting it into different pieces came down to separating the organs that could be eaten, and taking out the filth out of the evolved being.

Surprisingly, this creature's innards organs could all be eaten, as even its stomach was bare. "What a strange beast…", mumbled Fell as he noticed the oddities in the disassembled creature in front of him.

"Now I'm afraid of you.", said Akainmhar as he couldn't help but be surprised at the youth's work. His efficiency and focus left him baffled as he knew how difficult it was to disassemble a beast while keeping everything intact.

"Powerful eyes…", he thought as he couldn't help but once again see the strength of the man in front of him.

Ten minutes passed, and a small mountains of steaks laid in front of Fell. He couldn't help but have his stomach released a slight rumble under the tantalizing meat in front of him.

His hunger inhabited his body, and he continued cooking the food. He unleashed every cooking plate he could find in his spatial pocket and began cooking one cut after another. At some point, he emptied all of the oil he had at hand and began using the butter. He didn't forget to add salt and pepper in the mix, and before long, a small mountain of what had been the venison laid in massive oiled up plates.

Before long, a line of bottles appeared close near the animal as they sat on the skin. "Quite the handy treasure.", exclaimed the red haired man with as he grabbed one piece of cooked meat that had been a leg.

"Yeah, it sure is handy. Although I can probably say the same about your own treasure.", he responded as he began munching on a juicy steak. "You picked up the beast based on its blood essence signal?", he added with difficulty as he continued taking one bite after another of steak.

His hand grabbed a bottle of liquor, and he took a few sips before releasing a lengthy inhale. He whistled as he moved the cooked heart that stood right in front of him. The tender meat had turned golden under the intensive care of Fell during the cooking preparation.

A tantalizing and robust odor entered his nostrils, and just from the smell, he nearly tasted the meat that laid in front of his eyes.

He took three bite in one go on the blood essence filled heart, and couldn't help but quickly take another one. In a few moments, the big-sized heart had nearly been finished, with only a quarter of it left.

Fell closed his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a reinvigorating sensation course through his body as his muscles and organs turned sponges that absorbed every blood essence existing in the heart of the beast.
