Elias POV:99,999!! That’s how many horned monsters I’ve slayed in the last 3 years. Yes! I’ve been stuck in the withering woods for 3 years, slaying monsters every week. The first 10 monsters I slayed almost cost me my life. It was tough! But as I continued to slay more monsters and absorb their core, I began to grow stronger and stronger. There were many times I wanted to give up and run back to Solas’ haven but I persevered. After killing about 60,000 horned monsters, it began to get really difficult to find them. They were getting scarce, their numbers dwindling until they were but a rare sight in the forest. Sometimes I would go on searching for weeks without finding even one of such beast. Only low level un-horned monsters lurked around. And most of them no longer dare approach me for even they could tell I was a predator.
