Hart, Cynthia and Koran made their way through the thick forest finally stopping as they reached a large creepy cave oozing out with strange Aura.

This was the site of the mission and they were all excited about their own thing. Hart was excited about the mission, Koran was excited about him and Cynthia just wanted to be closer to Koran.

A triple win although for different reasons.

"Is that where the third grade night terror beast is?" Cynthia asked Koran trying to engage him in a conversation and in reply Koran only nodded.

"What the heck is a night terror beast?" Hart spoilt the moment instantly getting a frown from Cynthia, it wasn't his fault was it? "The school I went to was a bit not up to date."

'From the looks of things I am not even sure this idiot graduated from kindergarten!' Cynthia cursed in her mind.

While this happened Koran took his time before explaining, "a night terror beast is a supreme beast that destroys everything, it's basically the apex creature and could come in any form, the way we discern it is by a weird throat feeling from it's Mana so anytime it comes know a night terror beast could be close."

"Yes, and your range is really important, I am about twelve meters to sense them," Cynthia said as if bragging to get Koran's attention which was far lost.

"Oh cool, mine is twenty two meters," Koran's word placed a sharp knife into Cynthia's heart as she knew she got no where close to him.

Hart itched his throat before speaking lastly, 'so that explains the feeling I have been getting all this while, I guess I have the largest range then.'

But deep within the darkness in the cave Hart could sense a great Aura and knew the creature within was powerful.

Soon they proceeded in walking quickly through the gloomy dry tunnel, it was quite silent and surreal but Hart had also noticed another thing here.

He could see colourful lines linking up in the cave, like smells or somewhat Aura all over, from the looks of it only he could sense this.

'This should be the mana output of the creatures here?'

[Yes as the Phoenix Warlock you can see this lines and discern them, it's a special skill though it does not work for every beast]

Wise words of wisdom at a needed moment.

"There are grades of night terror beast, and the higher the grade the more the strength and intelligence," Koran began to explain once again to Hart knowing he was short on this information. "There are five grades that can be encountered in this forest and we are going up against the third grade."

"That means it would be intelligent and also powerful beyond anything you have ever faced," Cynthia added.

And this brought Hart's look to a frozen display, 'This bastards! If they talk about brutal I should be holding a huge golden cup with my name on it saying world's most brutal!'

Said the guy that jumped off a cliff.

Hart sudden came to a stop grasping his nose tightly as a vile smell came across, "what the hell is this smell?"

"Smell!" Cynthia's face broke into a cold shiver knowing what that meant.

Koran barely flinched glaring at the darker end of the cave where it had suddenly gotten darker that they couldn't see past it.

"Anytime the smell of a night terror beast posses a smell to powerful Mage it means it's breaking through to the next grade," Cynthia managed to explain with her very agitated voice.

Hart gulped at the fact now they were about to go against a much treacherous beast than expected.

    Roar!They heard this noise from deep within the cave drawing near like the beast was running towards them."What do we do now Koran?" Cynthia panicked a bit backing off a bit in fear."Just leave it to us, we'll handle it right?" Koran directed to Hart who nodded happy to be of help."Don't just slow me down Koran," Hart tightened his fist and scowled at the darkness up front and the echoing if footsteps drawing close fast.Boom! The beast finally came into view charging on all fours resembling a gorilla with the tusks of an elephant and a body filled with tentacle like hair. It had a mean demeanor and a yellow energy fuming from it's body.'Should I use the extracted power or my own strength?' Hart asked himself considering what his tean would say if they saw him with the Phoenix Warlock's ability.After a short prospection he chose not to use it.Hart pointed out his left hand and formed two large shards of ice from it shooting them at the large night terror beast.It simply smashe

    "Ouch, they didn't even come to assist me!" Hart complained itching his head and walking to the opening of the cave.To his own surprise all his wounds had healed, however it occurred after an hours of strain and patient waiting.'Even after an hour they did not show up to find me? Is something wrong or have they abandoned me?'Hart could not tell, all he did was walk into the tunnel once more with this thoughts in his mind.[Something is wrong Hart be careful]"Whatever I just beat a grade nine terror beast, I am kinda too strong though," he said a bit proud of himself.[It's a fourth grade beast, do not get too cocky or you will get severely injured]"Ok boss man, thank you for the words of advice," Hart increased in pace and soon reached the point of battle where he had left Koran and Cynthia they were no longer there.'Looks like they left me thinking I would die and ran for help,' When Hart processed this thought he almost cried but held his eyes from it. It was normal, he always

    "Ahhhhh!" The force of the attack flinged Hart into the air as it met with his cheeks so hard that his entire face shuddered.He landed on his side and quickly got to his feet to see the man that hit him at first was already gone. 'I can not predict his moves,' Hart narrowed his eyes again to find the man, getting surprised twice could mean death for him.[I thought you were being confident]'Shaddup stupid spirit you are not helping.'FWOOOSH!Hart heard the sound this time sharply turning however moving too slow to counteract the coming attack as a knee collided with his gut."GAAAHAAKK!" He coughed out saliva from his mouth his world shaking and his legs almost giving way. Surely he had taken knees to his gut before but none as this.It was like a thousand weight shot at him.Before Hart could even get himself the large hefty man grabbed him by the shirt raised him above the ground and brought him down hard to his side."KUEEEKKKK!"

He smiled bitterly.Hart knew what it felt like to be weak and have people look up to you n
