Chapter 840 Hunter

Seven adult Gem Jaguars, formidable Low Tier-1 Monsters, attacked a small horde of a dozen Tinophants. The Tinophants, also Tier-1 Monsters, were known for their resilience, thanks to their tough hide. However, their sluggishness and limited means of attack left them vulnerable. Their weight and the special sense to detect the least dangerous routes were the only factors preventing their extinction.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Unfortunately, their special sense didn't allow them to avoid all danger. It merely guided them through the most secure path. That was about it.

The fastest Gem Jaguar reached one of the smaller Tinophants and pounced on it. The Tinophant screamed at the top of its lungs, but that wasn't enough to scare the Gem Jaguar. The predator was hungry and wouldn't let go of its meal just because it screamed a little.

The Tinophant threw its body around, trying to remove the Gem Jaguar, but it was to no avail. The Gem Jaguar's claws pierced through the Tinophant's hide into its flesh, drawing out the herbivores' blood. The Gem Jaguar's razor-sharp fangs were just about to dig into the Tinophant's neck when a whitish-silver flash passed through the Gem Jaguar.

All of a sudden, the Gem Jaguar lost control of its body. Its legs gave way, and the world spun in a dizzying blur. Its head detached from its neck, landing on the wet soil with a resounding thud, a testament to its defeat.

A fountain of blood spurted in all directions, drenching the screaming Tinophant.

Daniel glanced at the Tinophant for a moment with a vibrant smile on his lips. He stared at the Sword Artifact and the Gem Jaguar's body.

His vibrant smile transformed into a devilish grimace as the jaguar's blood squirted all over his face. Instead of removing the blood, Daniel continued smiling. His smile grew wider than before when the energy influx finally reached him.

The Sword Artifact's effect was triggered, replenishing the little stamina Daniel had used to slay the Gem Jaguar. A moment later, his fight continued. He moved onward, using the Tinophants as shields and to camouflage his existence.

Daniel disappeared in the group of Tinophants and emerged, his Sword Artifact whizzing through the air in beautiful arcs to decapitate the Gem Jaguars whenever their attention pulled to their prey. It was only a matter of seconds, but three corpses sprawled all over the battlefield. Daniel's expression turned worse – if one could call it that – as his bright smile grew wider by the second. His Sword Artifact was coated in a whitish-silver aura as he cut through the monsters, reaping their lives one after another.

Even though he utilized the Tinophants as his meatshields, Daniel was forced to use the Shield Enchantment of the gemstone artifact twice.

The fight didn't even last a full minute. It was exhilarating, and Daniel found himself in a few tricky conditions that would have been difficult to solve without the two Artifacts he'd gotten from his brother, but he was alive. The seven energy influxes of Tier-1 monsters weren't too bad, either.

Daniel broke into a cold sweat, but his grin never ceased.

The Sword Artifact made sure that his stamina remained high. Of course, that didn't mean he had enough Soul Power or origin energy left to do anything special. That was fine, though. Daniel learned he could convert a portion of energy from energy influxes into Sword Aura. The Sword God's data influx showed him that it was possible and how to do it.

Daniel had yet to finish digesting the flood of data from the Sword God Soultrait Symbol, but he was slowly getting something. Improving his understanding of his new Soultrait in combat helped him digest the influx of information.

"That was fun," He murmured, glancing at the Tinophants staring at Daniel with wide eyes. They were frozen in their tracks and didn't dare to move even though the imminent threat had been removed. The Tinophants considered Daniel Fang an even more dangerous threat than the Gem Jaguars.

Daniel smiled at the Tinophants and waved at them dismissively, "You can either stay or go, I really don't care."

The monsters didn't understand him, but that didn't mean Daniel had to pay anymore attention to them.

Since his War Rune was already working at full power, Daniel could convert as much power as possible into Sword Aura. He did that and stored the Sword Aura in his Soultrait Symbol for now.

Instinctively, Daniel could tell that he could store the Sword Aura somewhere else, but he wasn't quite sure where to do that.

Maybe the Sword God's data influx would solve that enigma soon.

Until then, Daniel was going to continue hunting. There were a bunch of overpopulating monsters waiting to be slain!
