Chapter 26 Leveling Up

Rishi continued to practice his 'Quick Draw' skill for three more days, increasing its level and mastering it. He'd killed so many magic beasts in three days that he was almost at level nine.

He was up against a swarm of wolf-like magic beasts. Their leader was a level 8, and the others were one or two levels lower.

Rishi fought with them for a while, becoming familiar with their attack pattern and strength. He didn't use his 'inspect' ability this time because he didn't want to become reliant on it.

He then began to kill weak magic beasts to reduce their population before deciding to care for their leader.

Rishi used his 'Quick Draw' ability to fly through the air. The magic beast's head fell with a 'Tak' sound when his razor-sharp Talwar touched it.

He didn't pause for a second after finishing the leader before dispatching the remaining magic beasts. A short time later, a glow surrounded his body for a split second, alerting him that he had leveled up.

Rishi resolved to kill more opponents and reach level 10 as soon as possible to become an advanced Stage Beast Tamer.

Four days have passed since Rishi attained level 9. He used ten free points to increase his MP directly; he had learned from previous fights that the more MP, the better.

After reaching level 9, his stats are as follows:

[STRENGTH: 80; AGILITY: 95; STAMINA: 80; VITALITY: 80; MP: 90]

In these four days, he and Sheru have both slaughtered a large number of magic beasts. He has also improved his 'Quick Draw' skill to level 5, previously the highest level he could achieve.

He must reach the advanced stage to upgrade any skill above level 5.

Rishi decided to enter the inner forest's border area in search of a high-level magic beast because their mass killing had depleted the area around them of magic beasts.

Rishi soon noticed a two-meter-tall magic beast with three large horns, one below the other, between its head and nose.

He used his 'inspect' skill to test the magic beast's abilities.

"Oh, my God!" He was taken aback when he saw the stats of this gray-colored giant, who was only an infant. This species was well-known for being a fighter/tank hybrid.

Rishi couldn't even scratch it, while Sheru could inflict pain on it, but defeating it would take at least a half-hour.

This was not what scared Rishi the most; it was the fact that this type of magic beast never lived alone. They live in herds, and this baby's mother and father may be related.

The baby magic beast approached Rishi and Sheru slowly, which caused goose bumps to rise all over his body. He looked at the approaching giant magic beast and began considering how to escape this situation.

Rishi had an epiphany as he took out a magical fruit and presented it to the magic beast. The magic beast sniffed the magical fruit and then ate it.

As he tasted the magical fruit, he had an excited expression. Because this magical fruit grew only in the middle layer of the forest, the baby magical beasts have never tasted it.

Rishi then took out some more magic beasts and placed them near him on the large rock. He was able to flee when the magic beast began to devour them.

The magic beast noticed Rishi fleeing and ignored him to focus on the delicious fruits.

Rishi sighed as he looked behind him and saw that the magic beast was not pursuing him.

He soon found a weak level 9 magic beast, which Rishi quickly finished with the help of Sheru before leaving the jungle.

He soon reached his clan. The only thing he wanted to do right now was to clear Trial 1 given by "Gaia" as soon as possible.

He decided to rest for two days as he was exhausted.
