The giant Bloodfang swallowed the Soul that spawned from the corpse of one of its followers.
Drake watched carefully, cursing his inability to do something about it. A window appeared alarming him of the change the Bloodfang was going through.
The beast’s level increased to 45 in a single instant. A moment after that its whole body began to convulse as it slowly grew larger.
“What the hell is going on…” he murmured to himself.
Drake did not understand. That Soul belonged to a level 25 C tier beast. Even if he assumed that it was of the same grade, he couldn’t comprehend how it managed to increase the beast’s level by 5.
The Icehorn Soul he ate yesterday was a C tier as well but
“Can’t believe you killed all of them…”Harald made his way to the site of the massacre. The ground was littered with the corpses. The Bloodfangs which threatened to devour him and his companions were reduced to nothing.It frustrated him. How was this newbie able to achieve this when he only got his Hunter title two days ago?“Hey.” Drake suddenly spoke causing Harald to flinch. “You good at skinning?”“Well…”“I’ll give you a quarter of what we get from selling these so do mine as well.”Harald had killed three while Drake got a total of eleven. It’ll take quit a while to handle all
Opening his eyes Drake was overwhelmed with a sense of deja-vu. Back in his room on the second floor of Gunnar’s house, he thought about how he had slept in the same bed for three nights yet still found the sight of the ceiling unfamiliar. Removing the heavy layers covering him he got up and walked to the small basin in the corner, washing his face before checking his body. He could see no injuries which was weird considering how many times the Crimson Fang had thrashed him around. He was sure at least some of his bones were broken during the fight. Sighing in relief Drake put on the clothes that were beside his bed and walked to the first floor. It was already night so he thought everyone would be asleep but the faint voices coming from the kitchen told him sound are still awake.
“Here it is.”Having finished his work Bjorn went inside his workshop to fetch something. After a couple of minutes he came out with a strange looking object wrapped in an old sheet.Once unwrapped Drake learned that it was a sword. A single edge falchion with a curved blade with the edge side vastly wider than the back side. It was a little on the shorter side however its width and thickness made it appear sturdier than the average sword.“I made this a while ago for practice.” Bjorn said. “A failed attempt. Turns out originality doesn’t really sell.”Picking the blade Drake gave it a few swings. Even with the little experience he has he could tell it’s of a much higher quality than the average, weighting three times as mu
“Did you find something?” Gunnar asked.“We found three Crimson Fangs and a whole bunch of those damned Bloodfangs.” Said Leif with a long sigh.“No sight of the alpha.” Tyr added.The two of them went ahead to scout and soon enough found themselves almost at the center of the magical zone. There they found a large pack of white wolves laying around three larger ones with red fur.Though at first it might seem like they’re just lazing around, in reality they’re absorbing the Magical Essence from the surroundings. That process is only possible in the Essence rich areas at the center of the magical zones which makes them rather dangerous because of the beast’s tendency to gather there.
The loud howl sent Thors village into a state of panic. Pushing the matter with Edda aside, Drake quickly ran to where everyone had gathered.“What’s going on?” He asked Gunnar who was guiding Astrid and his kids to the hall.“Don’t know.” The man answered. “I doubt it’s anything good though.”“It’s the Alpha.”Turning toward the voice behind him Drake was surprised to see a huge bear like figure clad in thick armor. It was Ragnar. The equipment he had on seemed to enhance his already inhuman size; bulky full plate armor covering a set of dark red leather. A cape made of crimson fur hung over his back and a helmet with one sharp horn protruding from the front covered his head.
The horde of wolves attacked all at once, rushing toward the village in a mad dash.Unbeknown to him, Drake was smiling. He fastened his grip on his sword and leaned forward preparing to activate his skills, however Gunnar held his hand up stopping him.The area was suddenly enveloped in an orange light. Looking up drake saw a barrage of fire clad arrows flying toward the beasts. The Bloodfangs didn’t falter and continued their rush even as the flames rained down on them. Though the arrows hit their mark, the beasts showed no sign of stopping.Ignoring Drakes protesting glare Gunnar stepped forward and slammed his shield into the ground. He sucked in a deep breath, a dark blue aura rising from his feet gradually coating his armored body, he then roared with everything he got shaking the ground beneath him.
As Drake and his party engaged with the Bloodfangs another battle was unfolding a short distance away.Ragnar had led thirty Hunters to face the Alpha. Getting to the beast leading such a horde wasn’t an easy feat. They had to cut their way through a sea of white wolves jumping at them with bloody fangs, which wasn’t the worst of it.The Alpha was surrounded by a pack of its elite followers. Seven Crimson Fangs stood in their way as the Lord watched from the back.Between the thirty men only four followed Ragnar to face against the Crimson Fangs, the rest had to keep the other beasts from interfering.“Alright.” Aksel said, rotating the axes he held in each of his hands. “Let’s get this done with.”
A crimson lord dying in a single hit didn't go unnoticed by anyone in the battlefield. Seeing one of their strongest get flattened so easily the Bloodfangs no longer approached Drake leaving him to his meal.Picking the Crimson Fang's Soul he stared at it for a few seconds before putting it in his mouth. Just like with the time with the Icehorn a window appeared showing him the Soul's stats and asking weather he wanted to assimilate it or not. Having no interest in something that could be killed in a single hit he picked the [NO] option causing it to be absorbed by the Baby Night Wing.[《Baby Night Wing》 has accumulated the required amount of Soul Essence.][《Baby Night Wing》 ’s level has increased.][《Baby Night Wing lvl 17》
