Chapter 84 4 || Monster Forest - Part 1

Suddenly, Allen halted his step and took a stance. He was ready to cast his spell anytime.

He heard the steps of something, gradually coming closer to him. From the reverberation, Allen could only guess that there are 2 or 3 monsters coming at him.

Swish!

The bushes moved and produced a swishing sound. Three figures jumped from the bush and landed near Allen.

With the appearance of a tiger, the monsters stare at Allen.

Sharp claws that could cut stone as butter reflected, their black fur made them look evil. And their size, 2 times bigger than of an average tiger shocked Allen.

He felt afraid, but he quickly strengthened himself.

The dark aura coming from the monster's body was enough for Allen to deduce that they were Tier 2 monsters.

"Roar!"

The biggest Tiger monster, which was slightly bigger than the two beside him, roared happily. In its eyes, Allen was prey and his flesh was their food.

Tigeon, the name of the monster that walked toward Allen.

"Energy blast!"

Without waiting for the attack of the Tigeon, Allen quickly cast an energy blast. A blue ball condensed energy fired at the Tigeon.

Those Tigeons saw that. They were not fools. They had a little bit of intelligence, generally more than normal animals.

They quickly jumped and scatter into three places.

Boom!

The area the energy blast exploded turned black and a small pit formed.

Tigeons eyes widen. They let out a small roar and jumped at Allen.

"Telekinesis!"

"Windblast!"

He immediately cast two spells. It took full two seconds for the ball of wind to float around Allen and three seconds to form a connection with the surrounding.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Whoosh!

The gust of air blasted in front of the Tigeon that jumped at Allen. The force of air flew away from the Tigeon and hit the tree.

On the other hand, the two Tigeon that also jumped at Allen from two directions stopped midway. They literally floated in the air due to the telekinesis.

Click!

Allen snapped his fingers. And as he did that, the two Tigen flew backward, and at a high speed, they crashed into two trees respectively.

"Grr!!"

Three Tigeons scowled. While trembling they stood. They figured out their strength Allen, so they didn't attack carelessly. They were waiting for a chance to escape if they could, or wait for other monsters to show up.

But they didn't have that much luck. Allen stare at Tigeons with a merciless smile, that made the tigeons shiver.

Whine!

They whined and shrank.

"Pyroblast!"

With a ball of fire bigger than the size of the palm, Allen tossed the fireball at one Tigeon.

"ROAR!!"

It roared painfully, the echo of its painful sound reached the depth of the forest.

Boom!

Just after some seconds, the Tigeon exploded into pieces. But fortunately, its core didn't get that damage and landed on the ground in one piece.

Looking at the core, Allen sighed a breath of relief. He didn't expect that the body of the monster will explode this easily.

But he did suffer a bit of loss, since the skin, flesh, and meat of the Tigeon are famous and could be sold for some money.

"Hehe..."

Allen with a creepy smile stares at the remaining Tigeon who trembled at the sight of Allen. They were quivering.

They looked pitiful and miserable. Their fate was already sealed the moment they encounter Allen.

"Energy blast!"

"Wind Blast!"

With two spells firing at Tigeons, it was determined that those two pitiful monsters died at the hands of Allen.

Well, it wasn't a huge deal. News of humans killing monsters and monsters killing humans was so common that nobody even paid any attention to it.

Allen scavenges useful things from the body of two Tigeon. They both died quickly, and no roar of pain echoed in the forest.

But the previous roar had attracted some unneeded attention, but Allen didn't care. As long as there weren't any Tier 4 monsters, he was confident enough that serving here wouldn't be that hard.

After two minutes, Allen's backpack gobbled down 4 kg of meat of Tigeon, its flesh, and skin. Also, three cores were put in the backpack quite carefully.

!!!!

Allen felt the aura of monsters coming toward him. He could even hear the steps. 5... no 8 Tier 2 monsters and 2 Tier 3 monsters reached near Allen.

Allen gulped down... His pupils expanded at the sight of those monsters. However, he wasn't scared.

Instead, the feeling of excitement surrounded his heart.

With monsters surrounding Allen, the scene looked like the battle of the movie where the hero is surrounded by the villains.

And the battle began!

Bang! Boom! Swish!

With every sound, each monster fell spouting blood from its mouth.

Telekinesis, Windblast, and Energy blast knocked down the enemy in one hit. But it wasn't enough to kill them.

Unlike villains who generally come one by one to hunt heroes, these monsters jumped at the same time. However, Allen didn't panic, instead, he cast the spell without wasting a second.

Different lights covered his palm, many branches have broken, and the ground is filled with the leaves that were blown by the windblast.

8 Tier 2 monsters who were full of confidence and were sure to take down the enemy stood staggeringly. Their pupils expanded, and they raised their eyebrows looking at the two Tier 3 monsters.

Tier 3 monsters are more intelligent than Tier 2, so they didn't attack Allen recklessly. They observed the fight and determined that this person is strong.

"Pyroblast!"

Unlike his previous attack who only injured them, Allen cast his strongest spell. One ball of fire floated, again, another ball floated.

As the number of fireballs increased, the fear of the monster also increase.

The two-tier 3 couldn't just watch the show. They immediately attack as they don't want to give Allen time to cast more fireballs.

They showed a glimpse of fear on their face. Their body looked like a lion that was covered in golden fur. Their body slightly bigger than that of Tigeon, their claws and fangs sharper, and their strength mightier.

They looked more terrifying together. If it was a normal Tier 1 mage, no not even Tier 2 mage could keep its cool just fighting one of these monsters. Let alone 2, they will just run with tails between their legs. Only Tier 3 mage will have enough confidence to take down two of these monsters with ease.

Lijion is the name of the monster that jumped at Allen. They raised their claws to cut Allen into pieces.

However...

Boom!

Balls of fire appeared in front of their face, hitting them. As they touched their faces, it exploded. And it impacts threw them 10m away, hitting one of the trees.

Tier 2 monsters, Tigeon looked at the scene with horror. Their body trembled. The figure of Allen that looked prey in their eyes changed into a mighty being.

They felt they will die if they even approach him.

Lijions stood, however unlike Tigeon, their defense is much stronger. And their fur is so soft, that decreased the pain on impact.

So they only staggered a bit and glared at Allen like he was their natural enemy.

"Grr!!"

They gritted their teeth and were about to roar to attract other monsters.

Boom!

Fireball hit their mouth to shut them up. Their mouth burnt a little, and their flesh turned black. The smell of barbecue drifted in the air.

"Grr!!"

Their anger increased. They gritted their teeth and were about to attack again. They completely lost their sense, and only rage remained.

If not, then they were intelligent enough to know the gap in strength. They would have run instead of pursuing their anger.

But, their sense of superiority and pain completely turned them into barbarous.

"Heh!"

Allen showed a dark smile. And again ball of fire hit the Lijions. Tigeons who were like an audience watching the battle couldn't help but shudder.

They were wondering how much mana did this guy have. It's not that they had not encountered humans.

Heck, they had killed quite of them and had enough knowledge about mana. For them, it was a mysterious energy that was unknown to them. Only some Tier 3 monsters could possess mana.

They knew that a person had a limited amount of mana, and they were waiting for Allen's mana to finish. But his mana seems to be boundless. They waited, but couldn't see any exhaustion in Allen,

Suddenly, their hair stood. As they saw, Allen, looking at them with a gentle smile. A smile that looked so gentle that it was terrifying.

Little farther than Allen, Two Lijiions corpses laid. They had no heads on their body. Their head blasted and burnt to ash that flew in the air.

They instantly stood and ran. They didn't even wait a single second, but...

They couldn't move...

Two fireballs had exploded on their legs, making them immobilize. They fell to the ground defenseless.

The number of fireballs near Allen exceed twenty, and it was still increasing.

With that, the sound of an explosion echoed in the forest.

Monsters, they couldn't even scream. Their head just exploded, and not of one or two. But all 8 Tier 2 monsters' head was missing.

It seems a Missing Poster should be issued. 'I have lost my head, please someone find it and return at XXX-XXX. My head has two eyes, two ears, a nose, and... umm. skin! Some fur and hair should be there too if they hadn't burnt to ashes...'

Yes, these lines should be added too.

Allen... had a huge harvest of 8 tier 2 core and 2 tier 3 core.

"With this many cores, I could get at least 1000 gold coins. And with these meat, flesh, and skin, hmm... 8000 should be crossed."

Allen calculated. He imagined being surrounded by cash. His heart thumped heavily just imagining the cash in hand.

Since his parents weren't that rich, and he didn't get much pocket money, he was poor. He couldn't even afford to buy armor, that every student in the mage academy had.

Since the cost of the lowest armor exceeds 500 gold coins. And being poor, he couldn't afford it.

"Money, money!"

Allen hummed while collecting the materials.

Suddenly, his hair stood. Goosebumps appeared on his skin, and his sense tingled.

He turned his head.
