Chapter 88: Void Training 2 [3]



****

Amon rushed through the forest at imperceptible speeds.

As he jumped to the next branch of a nearby tree, he heard a hiss resound to his side.

Instinctively, his left hand shot towards the sound. He felt a slimy body impact his palm. Capturing it, he looked to his side, finding it to be a thin void snake.

Without a hint of mercy in his eyes, he clenched his fist, making the snake blow up.

The black blood splashed on his face. But, he didn't remove it.

As he was about to jump to the next tree, two notifications opened in front of him.

[The Void inside you grows larger...]

It was the usual.

But the next notification made his brows rise up.

[Your [Void] element has leveled up!]

Confusion etched on his face.

'Hmm? It levels up from these beasts as well?' He questioned to himself.

Like his other 2 elements, he thought the only way to advance his [Void] element was by using his skills.

They were the only way he could utilize his element right now after all.

He looked at his gloved palm, the black blood dripping from it onto the grass.

'If I have to make an estimation, so far I have killed 50 of these beasts...'

According to Zephyra, the [Void Training]'s main purpose was to make his body attuned to the void.

This was precisely the reason why he couldn't use his element right now as it would break under the pressure.

So the void inside him growing larger probably meant that his body got more and more accustomed to the element.

There was also the part about that weird feeling.

After this level-up, he only needed one more point to advance his [Void] element to level 2. He should be able to use it after that happened considering he didn't get any influx yet.

There was also the matter of those 2 locked skills...

Regardless, only time would tell the future.

Pushing back the thoughts, Amon jumped out of the tree, to the next branch. However, a frown creased his brows as he instantly felt something coming by his side. As expected, a body rammed into him in mid-air as he tried to maneuver sideways. The sudden weight threw off his balance, sending him flying over the tops of the trees. Fortunately, he was still able to mark the body of what had attacked him.

He gritted his teeth when his body landed among some branches.

'I wasted too much time on the branch..'

He immediately used [Voidteleport] and appeared right above the tree where he had landed.

Without hesitation, he unsheathed his odachi and slashed to his right.

Due to his sharp attention to the battle with gorillas, he was unable to notice the final cheetah

get back up.

It leaped at Amon from behind, digging his jaws into his shoulder.

Pain welled up in his whole being causing him to bite his tongue to not lose focus.

As the next set of slashes arrived from the feral beasts, Amon took a backward leap while

grabbing the starless cheetah on his shoulder.

With all the strength he could muster, he tried to squash its head.

As someone who had reached the 2nd order and with strength being his top stat along with another one, his force wasn't to be underestimated.

There was also the fact that his passive skill [Blessing of the Void] was active right now,

granting him a boost in all stats and fields.

His fingers dug into the head of the cheetah but unfortunately, his palm was still shorter to

squash its full head.

The jaw dug deeper into his skin, drawing out more blood.

Amon bit his lip, contending with the pain.

The gorillas also leaped at him once more.

Gritting his teeth, he thrust the edge of the nodachi into the jaw of the cheetah before digging

it further into its brain, ending its life.

The jaw disconnected from his shoulder and the lifeless body of the beast slumped to the

ground.

A clean, deep, and fleshy gash was revealed on Amon's shoulder as its body fell.

But the black-haired body didn't care.

Pain...

It was something he was getting used to by now.

He understood now...

If he fought with clean movements in this training, he was undoubtedly going to fail it...

That's why...

He would fight these feral beasts like a beast.

Not digging his odachi out, Amon leaped towards the nearest gorilla bare-handedly.

It's five thin claws slashed at him but this time something unexpected happened.

Amon grabbed three of its claws in one hand and two of its claws in the other. And in the next moment, with all his strength, he ripped them apart.
