Chapter 417 415:Gathering Materials By Killing

Somewhere near the wilderness.

The surrounding was cold and frozen.

Winter was on its way and a small drizzle would ensue in the morning along with heavy most.

Running through the frosty ground, a man pierced through the dark mist.

The surroundings become colder as Alex steps forward.

Alex jumped up a tree with a single swift movement.

The mist covered his vision so he wasn't able to get a good grasp of his surroundings.

Alex raised his hand and twirled his finger.

The wind started to condense and dance in his hand and then Alex fired a shot of compressed wind.

Swish!

The mist screen before Alex was cleared away for a moment and Alex's eyes caught the sight of the prey.

BANG!

The branch on which Alex stood exploded due to his jump and as he landed on another tree, he jumped again.

Shortly, after Alex got his licence, he started to take missions to go on hunts in the wilderness.

He moved along the border areas and hunted in the wilderness and tried to cleanse the miasma he came across.

With a flight spell, he could cover 1000 Kilometers in the day which broadened his range as he moved across the border to and fro.

On the way, he also examined the changes in the surroundings.

He had many soldiers on the way and after getting the adventure guild licence, he started to gather intel.

Inquiring about them, Alex got to know that Arkham is planning to close the excess to the wilderness on the Eastern territory due to the rapid spread of miasma which also put a halt to Alex's operation.

Alex wanted to search the perimeter in the borders but it was guarded heavily and there were even many Legendary ranks out there.

So, for now, he was only hunting beasts, especially the beasts who had been infected and escaped here.

Alex finally saw a dark Asura bear smashing everything.

"Haa...It's been a long time since I fought with a bear."

Asura bears were limited to Transcendent rank but one before him was Legendary rank and it was giving out a dark ominous aura.

The Asura bear's eyes narrowed as it lifted its head and looked at Alex.

The two only gazed at each other for several seconds.

CRRRR!

After the bear saw Alex didn't move, it started to growl and the vibration was sent everywhere.

Alex stared at it with a confused expression.

Alex could see that the bear was contaminated by miasma which raised its power and was in a berserk state, still, it could feel a hint of fear seeing Alex.

It was feeling threatened by Alex's presence and was analysing its chances of defeating Alex.

Alex had discovered that the miasma was the upgraded version of the dark mist which was used for the experiment by Wright and Amidon.

And the antidote which he had discovered there was completely useless against these.

And it caused the person to lose his reason but the bear seemed to be alright and sadly it wasn't the only one.

He had killed many beasts and was affected by miasma but since they were at a lower level, he thought that they hadn't been affected much.

But now he knew that he was wrong.

SHING!

Alex jumped to the side and a spear made of ice whizzed past Alex at an insane speed.

BANG!BANG!

n0(????(e)lbi????.n(et

Spears started to fly towards Alex and he dodged jumping from one place to another.

The spears punctured through the tree trunk and struck the tree behind that one.

Another spear shot forward.

Alex didn't dodge it, rather struck the spear with his full force.

Alex's arm shook a bit but the spear was slashed straight and passed through Alex by dividing it into two halves.

Alex rammed his foot onto the ground and shot forward with all his speed.

The bear roared in aggression as another spear exuded a dense aura materialised that shot straight at Alex.

Alex's body exploded towards the bear wh great momentum and found it difficult to dodge the attack so he coated his other hand in the aura and slammed it on the sharp tip of the spear.

BOOOM!

The spear bursts into pieces and an icy mass of dust and Alex pass through the dust, he found the bear appearing before him and slashed its gnarly claws at Alex

BOOM!

The entire forest shook with a shockwave and Alex's figure was shot back.

Alex was able to parry the attack with his sword but he was thrown away due to the result.

Alex, who was in mid-air, was slashed by the claws of an Asura bear coming towards him.

Alex used the flight to change his trajectory.

BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM

Claw marks erupted behind him and pulverized everything in its path.

Alex rotated his body in the air and landed on the trunk of the tree laterally and bent his knees like spring.

And then!

BANG!

Like a squeezed spring was released, Alex kicked the trunk and threw himself towards the bear once again.

The whole tree jerked and the trunk blew away.

The Asura bear senses danger from Alex and locking onto Alex opens its muzzle wide.

Alex saw a mighty beam of dark colour shot towards him decimating everything in its path.

Swish!

The aura in Alex's body exploded and a crimson aura ensheathed his sword forming layer after layer.

Alex gripped his sword and with all its momentum stabbed him forward.

[Piercing Thrust]

SHINING!

A sound akin to tearing off the paper was heard and a highly destructive beam of light made its way towards Alex stopped and was torn into two halves.

The Asura bear's eyes widened as it saw the scene and before it could react, soft winds brushed past him and something went past its neck.

THUD!

The huge body falls to the ground after taking its last breath.

Alex landed beside it and clicked his tongue"The Core can't be sold which reduces the price by half. I need to gather precious materials as much as possible."

Alex looked for the source of the miasma but he wasn't able to find anything and soon saw the fences from afar.

There wasn't any strong beast to hunt so with a frustrated expression took the corpse and flew towards Lunar city where his crew was present.
