Chapter 82 Shadow Wolf
Pain.
That's all that Alex felt when he awakened.
His entire body ached to bits, and he was completely unable to get himself up off the ground. He could only lay there completely helpless and defenceless until his body recovered.
Since he had nothing to do while waiting, he decided to check the notification he had received when he killed the wolf.
He was curious to know just how strong the thing was since it brought him the closest to death than he had ever been before.
[You have killed a Mutant E rank beast, Shadow Wolf]
Alex gasped in shock when he read the short sentence from the system.
'This thing was actually a Mutant beast???'
This was the first time he had ever come across such a thing, and it was by far the strongest beast he had ever fought.
The times with the Galephant didn't really count, as he hadn't even attempted to put up a fight either time.
'So this is how strong Mutant beasts are...'
He couldn't help but go back over the battle, reminiscing every moment as if he was back on the scene fighting the wolf himself.
Alex knew that if it wasn't for that resonance between his fire elemental energy and his Phoenix fury technique, he would not have been able to take down such a fearsome monster.
But one thing he had failed to consider was one fight in particular back during the exam. He and Mira had worked together, using their full power at the time just to barely take out a crocodile beast.
They didn't know it at the time, but that beast was actually also a Mutant beast. They were just unlucky and didn't get any beast cores from it, nor did Alex get any soul orbs either.
Speaking of soul orbs, Alex accessed his inventory for the first time in a while, excited to find out what a Mutant beast's soul orb would look like.
The more Alex thought about it, the more he didn't want to think about it.
It was like that saying.
Ignorance is bliss.
In this case, Alex wished he had stayed ignorant.
There was literally nothing, or anyone alive who could do anything about it. Alex just pushed his head back on the ground and released a heavy sigh.
His only thoughts revolving around whether or not he would find a Mutant beast core hiding in the head of the wolf. But he had to wait another 12 hours before he was finally able to stand again. Fortunately it seemed his feast the previous day had filled him up with enough energy to completely heal his injuries, and at quite a fast pace too.
'Mutant beast meat must have an increased effect on healing whenever you eat it.'
This made sense to Alex. Mutant beasts were a higher classification than Ordinary beasts, and were supposed to be superior in every way. It was only natural that this superiority also included their effect when ingested.
'Now it's time for the big reveal!'
He could finally scratch that constant itch he had on his mind over the last day and find out if he was lucky enough to find a beast core in the wolf's skull.
Alex took his hand and sliced down across the beast's neck, severing the head from the rest of its body.
Next, he plunged his hand deep inside the open wound, grabbing and pulling out anything he could feel.
He dumped the large amount of brains, skin and muscles onto the ground, until finally his hand caught onto something hard.
Alex's eyes lit up as he excitedly pulled out the source of this feeling, his heart palpitating with excitement as he could barely hold himself back from just tearing the skull apart to get to it.
Finally, he forced it out, and a yellowish hue melted out into his surroundings.
A sturdy, glowing yellow rock about the size of his fist lay in his hand.
