Chapter 28: Hunt 2
28- Hunt 2
As I was done with my doubts, I decided that I should get out of the inner area of the dark forest as staying here is tantamount to finding death with my strength.
Once again, I took a look at my stats.

-----------------------
Reading this notification, I got excited as it means, now I have better hiding ability and as I use stealth skill many times, it will level up and the ability hide and sneak attack will become powerful. I can save myself by hiding when faces difficult enemies.
I opened the skill description
-----------------------------
Stealth Lvl 2:
Helps the host to hide and converge breath and aura to avoid detecting from any other living being.
(chance of being discovered if host is touched or host moves a lot. Host can also be discovered if the other persons power difference or sensitivity is lot higher)
Proficiency = 0%
Requires = 6 MP per 1 minute
-----------------------------
Although the rate of consumption of MP has increased, I feel that my body, breadth and aura is hidden well when compared to before. And if required I can buy many MP potions too.
I waited for few minutes, and during these few minutes I added 15 Free stat points to the strength stat and 4 free stat points in defense and resistance stat each, to decrease chance of being injured and also increase resistance towards the poison.
And there goes all the 23 Free stat points. And now I dont have any more Free stat points for backup or emergency.
As I was waiting and continuously recovering MP by drinking MP potions to keep up with usage of MP, I saw two guards coming towards my direction. When they saw their companion dead on the ground, they came to check the dead body.
Now, I am thinking whether to take the shot or not. Because, there are two guards of Refinement stage, and I am alone. Even if I succeed killing a guard by sneak attacking, I dont know if I can manage the other guard. Although, my strength stat and other stats have increased, I am not much optimistic about killing a Refinement stage guard without getting injured.
But I have to kill them before the Evolver guy comes back and if the three group up, I might have to give up my killing plan or if by any bad luck they find me, they will gang up and attack me together which is the worst thing that can happen to me.
As I was weighing whether to take the risk and kill the two guards or hide and see if I have another chance to kill the guards, if not should I escape? When, I heard a womens scream.
haaaa.......
Hearing the scream, both the guards and I got startled and looked in the direction from where the scream came.
The two guards exchanged looks and nodded to each other. One of the guards started searching the dead body, maybe he was looking for money or any valuable object. While the other guard ran in the direction from which the scream came.
This is the chance I was waiting for. Now I can quickly sneak attack this guy and with my speed, I can catch up with the other guard and kill him too.
After deciding to take action, I put the sword in the storage box and took out the Spear I obtained from the guard I killed.
I used the observation skill on the spear,
-------------------
Unnamed spear
+7 Strength, +7 Agility
-------------------
Why does this spear has good stats compared to the sword I obtained from the guy whom I killed?
Haa... now I remember that someone did say that the sword was a practice sword, but anyway its a good spear to kill this guy.
