Chapter 18 - My territory

Alex grabbed his ears as he looked at the floor.

Alex began to squirm in his place while he tries to find the answer, but while he does that, he has not forgotten that more monsters come for him.

"Nyaa!! [Shut up]" Alex shouted hysterically at the wolf that came out of the bushes and was about to growl at him, but Alex only looked at it for a moment before Alex's shadow reached under the wolf and created a needle of darkness which through the heart of the wolf.

Alex looked happy while he managed give himself the answer he was looking for.

Alex created an orange flame in front of him, in which he placed his intention to burn mana, at the beginning nothing happened, but in the second, any mana bubble that touched the flame was decomposing, disappeared for Alex's sight, but what really happens is that the manna is consumed for little dispersed in the environment.

"Ufufufu~" Alex laughed happily as he rubbed his paws when he saw the great potential to burn mana, although it is not easy.

<30 seconds... that's my limit in which I can make a flame that consumes mana from the environment>

While Alex was entertained with his experimentation with magic, he had been instantly eliminating any monster that entered his 10-meter range with his dark needles that leave any place that has shadow and is connected to Alex's shadow.

A forest with the sun at its highest point, is Alex's domain since that is when there are more shadows and now it was shown with the extermination of more than 30 monsters.

Although Alex's flame only lasts 30 seconds, he spent several hours entertaining to see how this new way of using magic works.

While he did that, his experience increased a lot, he almost climbed two levels because of the difference in level between him and the monsters, apart from the bonus of facing a horde of monsters that increased the experience by 5% and 25% of the baptism.

Alex noticed the change as his vision began to change.

He left his breeding stage by exceeding level 5 and is now in the stage of accelerated growth or youth, Alex's body began to grow rapidly while a burning sensation invaded his body, but Alex was not affected by his pain resistance that he develop lately thanks to his mortal experiences.

The manna began to invade Alex's body, this manna rampantly entered his body, but it did not integrate with his mana, it integrated with his body, the pain intensified and Alex's growth also accelerated.

The step from measuring 30 cm to measuring 1.2 meters, during the time that Alex began to suffer his growth, his unbridled mana was guided to become a cocoon with Alex inside, Alex's fur was burned by rampant flames, but little then another fur grew again, but this one was softer and brighter, thus showing that Alex is a magical beast and any part of him is magnificent for being one.

Little by little the fire went out as Alex was regaining control over him, once the fire disappeared and showed an elegant cat with black fur that seems to absorb all the lighting inside it, with two large purple eyes that they appear to be made of Amethyst and a brand in the form of an inverted flame in the left eye, thus showing that the elegant and majestic Cat is Alex, who has now ceased to be a small baby and he is now showing signs of his greatness of his new race.

It was Alex's thoughts shortly after he could see his reflection in a piece of polished metal that he pulled from his inventory, Alex began to swagger from side to side while admiring himself while being influenced by the sense of power that arose within his body.

[Increase in statistics: STR, AGI, INT]

Alex proceeded to open his status and look at his points without distributing.

[Pm: 27] [Sp: 5]

Shortly after a few minutes of consideration, Alex increased his INT to the next rank, while wasting all the mutation points in improving his claws and improving the hardness of his skin with the points left over, by doing this, unlocking the next stage of its claws.

It is a Neutral type of Magic ability.

It increases the sharpness of the claws for a slight moment, making it able to cut iron very easily.

Further progress is needed in the Mutation of the Claws to unlock the other abilities of the [Cut] ability.

"Tch!"

Alex began to mumble quietly while trying not to say something that prompts the System to react negatively if possible.

This is Alex's new status.

Alex stood still in his place while appreciating how the beasts began to flee from him, once they saw all the deaths around him, little by little the red dots disappeared from his map, as the beasts left his territory and only wild animals remained that cannot feel the Aura because of how weak they are.

[Congratulations!! You have managed to get your own territory, now hunting within your territory gives you a greater chance of getting mutation points and expanding your territory grants status points, you have entered the world of beasts and now you understand why they like to have their own territory , now go out and follow your instinct.] A mechanical voice rang while telling the whole story, but it has no similarity to the bastard Alex knows.

Alex walked thoughtfully while collecting all the loot he received, he discovered that it is the same loot as the first floor, only the quantity is greater.

Alex walked towards the limits of his new domain, but while he was focused on his things, a small spirit of fire appeared and passed floating around Alex as if it was admiring him, the little spirit is shaped like a cat, but its transformation is halfway through, when Alex moved towards his target, the little spirit floated to Alex's mark and get inside, making the mark becomes a more vivid color.

Alex began to push his Aura out while it is impregnated with the surroundings, many animals that cannot feel the Aura, only manage to feel a tingle in their Instincts, but ignore it, while the beasts that they can feel it, begin to flee by recognizing Alex's aura, while others emit their little aura in response to trying to refuse to yield.

But while the beasts have trouble deciding whether to fight or flee, Alex moves calmly towards them, while he is holding 4 flames around him so that they don't go out and without being seen, Alex's shadow travels around his surroundings before any beast that have a stealth ability.

Several beasts tried to give in to Alex and receive him as his Alpha... but it was a pity that those beasts werewolves, Alex only looked at them a second before thinking, that they are all dogs to shortly after eliminating them with their flames.

It was one of the thoughts Alex had while facing a pack of wolves.

While Alex was distracted in his things, at one end of Alex's territory, a village of Kobolds is in a festive status since the group of their leader Kobold have become a Kobolds Elite, after overcoming the ritual where they are Blessed by their "God" Infernal Dragon, all of them have received great improvements and are now preparing to unify the Kobold of this forest and be able to conquer it to get out of this place and be able to get to know the true outside world as their ancient ancestors told them.

They used to live in the Infernal Mountain, where their God sleeps, but one day they discovered stairs that went down into the darkness, full of curiosity they decided to go down and explore, little by little they explored the place and realized that it is a dungeon.

The first floor only has rats that served to feed their people and sometimes they could get metals.

One day they discovered this place [The second Floor] and decided to place a village here to continue exploring, but one day the stairs that allowed them to leave were blocked by humans who believed that there were demons inside, since, at that time, the Kobolds were demons to humans, they decided to lock those demons inside the dungeon, with all the best Kobolds in the village inside the dungeon, the kobolds that were left behind were destined to die.

Now they have been in the dungeon for more than 8 generations, which has only become more deadly over time, the previously weakest beasts of the dungeon, became more lethal and many Kobolds did not want to remain inside the Village and decided to become renegades, and now after many prayers, their god has blessed 5 warriors with whom they can finally get out of this dungeon, which is like a jail for them.
