Chapter 78 - You Called This Challenging Myself

Using this trick could be really effective but it was a different case for the buffet as it quickly flip its wings forward to shield its eyes from the attack.

"Come on, can't you just let me be since your calf is alright now" said Jason when he saw the buffet standing firm with its eyes open. 

"How is it possible for it to let you go when you have provided yourself to be eaten" replied the bracelet.

"Enough with me ending up as a meal for a beast" said Jason in anger. 

"Anyways you have to think of a way to get rid of it before the others get involved" replied the bracelet.

"I guess I don't have any other choice than to fight it out with the beast" said Jason with a sigh.

"And now that it will be impossible for the buffet to take flight, it will be easier for you now as with the help of your surrounding" said the bracelet.

Using the same move, Jason swipe the sand at the buffet once more knowing full well that it's going to shield itself from the attack and after putting the wings down, Jason was nowhere to be seen which confused the beast since the human was standing in front of it not quite long so how was he able to run that far. Amid its confusion, Jason was hanging on a tree branch above the beast as he watch the beast in its confused state. 

"This is my only chance of causing serious damage to that dumb beast" said Jason with a smile on his face as he was preparing to make his move.

"Take it easy kid, it may be unaware of your presence but that does not mean it will be an easy feat for you to land a hit on it since it will be guarded against any attack" advice the bracelet when seeing the way Jason is excited. 

"Yes I know that even though I have not experienced a battle like this, it can't just let it guard down just because I am not there" said Jason.

After watching the buffet for an hour and seeing that it has finally lowered its guard, Jason jumps down from the tree with the halberd held downward as he neatly stabs the halberd into the buffet back.

"Arrrrrrrrrrrrrg" 

The buffet let out a scream as it begins to check its body trying to get Jason off its back but it was not working as he held tight to the halberd. Seeing that it was finding it hard to get the human off its back, the buffet quickly ran towards a tree as it crashed into it but that was when Jason jumped off the back of the beast as he swing the halberd taking one of the beasts golden horn. 

"Haha, I haven't taken its life yet and it's already offering its horn as a tribute to me" said Jason with a chuckle as he picked the horn and store it in the storage ring.

Now looking at the beast that used to look mighty with its two golden horns, one will feel sorry for it looks to be in a sorry state with blood flowing out from its back which was caused by Jason's attack. The buffet was enraged when it saw Jason keeping its horn as it charge at him recklessly while ignoring the pain that it is going through since the only thing its head is processing was to stomp the human before it to death but its dreams never came through as Jason easily jump out of the way while wiping the beast from behind with the halberd.

"Come on, if you are that angry about losing a horn, you will have to do better than to just charge at me" said Jason with a smile as he rest the halberd on his shoulder.

"Why are you trying to get the beast so angry" asked the bracelet not knowing what Jason was up to.

"Of course I am trying to get it mad since it will make it easier for me to defeat it" replied Jason with a smile.

"Now I understand what you are trying to do. Getting the beast angry than it is already is will make it lose its sense of reasoning but there is something that you should know about getting a beast angry and that is an angry beast will do all it can to make sure the opponent get an injury that will be difficult to heal even at the risk of losing it live so you have to be very careful when dealing with it" said the bracelet seeing that Jason is becoming overconfident in himself.

Just as the bracelet said, the buffet spread out its wings as it begins to flip them while creating a powerful gala in the process. Left with no choice, Jason shelter on a tress as he waited for the wind to settle down. 

"You must be joking if you think that I am going to fall for that trick, what a dumb beast" said Jason with a chuckle but the next moment his expression changes when he saw the beast above his head as it lets the wings back causing it to fall as it was closing in on Jason.

"Fuck, what is that beast trying to do" curse Jason as he stood up from as jumped to another tree.

Stepping on the tree, Jason was about to take a deep breath but before he could he saw the beast coming after him and this time, it was coming at a speed twice as it was before. 

"How is it doing that" said Jason in shock as he jumped onto another tree.

Whenever Jason moves to another tree, the beast will be there as if they were connected by something and after going around from tree to tree with the beast still on his tail, Jason couldn't help but complain. 

"This is the consequence you have to pay for provoking the buffet" replied the bracelet.

"But I was only playing with it, who would have thought that it would have to take it so seriously" said Jason as he went to another tree but this time around he was not able to hold his ground and fell with the beast crashing into the tree.

After the crashing between both sides, there was a short silence before rumble could be heard from the tree area as the beast could be seen making its way to where Jason was laying and seeing that the beast is still active even after crashing into a tree, Jason quickly makes ease to get up from the ground as he quickly went to grab the halberd which was not that far from where he fell.

Pushing the little strength he had, Jason stood his ground as he waited for the beast to come closer and the moment the buffet was within range, Jason stab the halberd forward at the beast piercing the leg of the beast in the process before performing a flip as he landed behind the beast before landing a powerful palm attack at the beast while using the iron fist technique which ends up silencing the beast and the same couldn't be said about Jason for he could not avoid the charged on time and ended up having a deep wound on his leg which was caused by the horn of the beast.

Gritting his teeth as he tries to prevent himself from screaming out in pain, Jason drags himself towards a tree as he rests his back on it while looking at the dead beast before him.

"I can't believe I was not able to avoid its attack on time" said Jason as he turned to look at the wound on his leg.

"It was all due to your lack of fighting experience that led to this but I believe in time you will be able to adapt as long as you keep on challenging yourself" commented the bracelet.

"And you call this challenging myself when I almost lost my life in the process" asked Jason.

"But you are still breathing although you have been injured but it is not a problem since you still have those pills that were given to you by the grand elder" replied the bracelet.

"I do but if things were to continue in this way, it won't be long before the pills will begin to lose their effect so tell me what am I supposed to do if that were to happen" said Jason.

"Which is why you need to be careful when making decisions and don't dare take the pill whenever you are injured unless it is very serious" said the bracelet.

"So now you want me to walk around with scars all over my body like a hunter" asked Jason.

"That is not what I meant, what I am trying to say is you should learn to preserve the pill since you will be here for a long time" replied the bracelet.
