Chapter 19 - Training and Meat.

Time passed while Alex expanded his territory by eliminating other beasts, the expansion of Alex's territory became easier thanks to the changes he began to suffer from ceasing to be a baby, all statistics increased in a range, apart from spending the Sp he got by reaching level 7, thus making Alex's danger level reach rank [A], a deadly threat to a town without some group of Rank C Adventurers.

Alex had to eliminate all the beasts that confronted him with magic since the drastic change in his body made him clumsy if he runs, he ends up crashing into a tree.

He doesn't have great control over his body and neither with his magic, but the little control he has over his magic is more than enough to eliminate monsters that only throw themselves at him without any plan.

Upon realizing this, Alex stopped expanding his territory and decided to start trying to improve his control in his territory where he will not be disturbed and that he is doing.

Alex is training, he runs long stretches of the forest at full speed while dodging, bushes, stones, and trees.

Most of them are damaged by the times Alex crashed into them because of his lack of familiarity with his new speed, in terms of his strength, Alex practiced hitting a tree with his paws or his tail, he tries to gently pat the tree, but every time he tries, he leaves a big mark on the tree trunk or breaks it.

Also, his size increased when he rises and now measures 1.3M, this has caused his appetite to increase and now he has to eat two food pills, because one no longer fills him, the description of the pill changed when he looked at its a second time that surprised him a lot.

Now he only has the difference that he can only eat two pills every 6 hours or else he will suffer the negative effects.

As for the practice of magic, Alex had a very creative idea, he uses his magic to cook meat.

Alex uses dark magic to create blades with which he cuts the meat into square pieces, then impales them on a needle and begins cooking them with his fire.

The idea sounds easy, but Alex doesn't have much control over his mana that caused him to shed tears of blood when he saw his food fall to the ground, be turned into coal, be shattered and a lot of other things.

Returning with Alex, he is running in the forest and for the first time, he is using his tail to balance himself and move much better.

Alex marked his journey with square stones that he did when heating them and then molding them, he also placed a few pieces of logs which he must destroy with his claws without stopping, they are 27 in total and he has only managed to break 8 of them, since they are all placed in awkward places where Alex needs to use the full potential of his Agility to hit without stopping.

Alex ran from the forest shortly after reaching a small clearing where there is only grass, he makes a great jump with which he manages to reach a piece of wood that hangs from a branch and with an agile movement, Alex stretches a hind leg with which scratches the piece of wood, thus causing it to explode into small pieces.

Alex touched the ground as he turned to see in the distance the broken pieces of wood that scatter through the forest.

Alex thought as he recounts all the pieces of wood that he hit before reaching the goal.

Alex looked badly in the direction of where the Kobolds always enter his territory, but Alex shook his head to continue his training.

Alex regained his positive mood by thinking about the delicious roast that he will eat in a few minutes.

He has four days in a row in which he has been able to smell the smell of roasted meat, but something always happens badly, which ends in he failing in cooking his food and eating two food pills.

With agile movements, Alex opens his inventory and pulls out two large pieces of meat, each 10 centimeters thick, the pieces of meat appear in the air in front of him, without giving them time to touch the ground Alex's shadow becomes on a sharp blade which slices the pieces of meat into square pieces.

Alex creates four needles of dark magic with which he catches all the pieces cut in the air so that they don't fall on the ground, once he has his four skewers ready, Alex begins to blow towards his skewers.

Flames came out of Alex's mouth and surrounded the four skewers, Alex is using his magic [Dragon's Breath] (Alex decided to give a striking name to his new way of using magic at a moment of inspiration when thinking of magical creatures related to fire).

Alex could create fire in front of him and hold it to cook the meat, but using his magic on his brath requires much greater control since he must not burn himself, he must combine the mana with his breath, sustain the density of the mana, the Fire temperature, the length of the flame and make sure he also keep control of his four needles that are being subjected to his magical fire that by nature tries to consume the mana.

A very difficult task for Alex, but his determination to eat meat has made him continue his training and get ahead in the management of his mana as well as his element as well.

Each time Alex does this, the system generates many alerts of increasing familiarity with his mana, dark magic and fire magic, each with a value of at least 200 to 50, but in exchange for all that, Alex has headache after spending his entire mana with this training, but with Alex waiting about 30 minutes he manages to cure his headache with his mana, thanks to his healing nature.

Thanks to his magic nature, Alex has been able to have great benefits with the intensive training that he is being forced to do by himself, if his mana didn't have that nature, he could not reap the benefits he has achieved in these four days.

[Without Alex knowing, he becomes increasingly stronger than average, but his measuring stick is too abnormal for him to realize.]

<Finally! Years of hard training have borne [Grilled Meat] and today I will be able to taste that [Grilled Meat]> Alex's thoughts began to wander wildly as he was affected by the attractive smell of cooked meat.

Alex almost drools as he watches his flesh as he cooks in his fire, while his eyes flash from time to time, that happens every time he hears the sound of meat cooking with his fire and seeing how it ceases to be red and turns a brown or dark brown color.

Alex's tail began to be isolated from side to side and making the ground rumble when it hits the ground of Alex's excitement about eating cooked meat.

*Grinding* Alex clenched his jaw tightly while maintaining his control over his mana so as not to shatter the flesh in front of him, which is already entering the realm of perfection in smell and color.

Alex's ears began to shake when he showed Alex's despair at wanting to throw his determination into the trash and be able to taste the juicy meat cooked in front of him, which is only intoxicating him with his sweet smell.

Alex yelled at himself mentally, but as he kept his mind completely focused on the flesh in front of him, two small egg-sized kittens appeared on Alex's shoulders.

[Bite him... no one will tell you anything] Said the mini-Alex with bat wings while cleaning the saliva from his mouth.

[It's just a bite, it won't change anything, look at that meat, it's screaming at us to bite it!] The other mini-Alex shouted excitedly, but this mini-Alex doesn't have bat wings, but white feathered wings.

Alex began to be influenced by the two voices, but suddenly a third voice rang in his head, thus silencing the other two.

[Wait a little longer and you will taste the perfectly cooked meat and if you use the fruit of that tree that resembles and smells like lemon, the meat will become food of gods] A third mini-Alex appeared on Alex's head, but this Kitty has no wings, just wears a wizard hat and carries the essence of greatness.

[] The other two little mini-Alex and Alex bowed to the third Mini-Alex, who tensed for a moment to almost flank at the temptation of the Meat like the others.

Alex followed the instructions and he waits until he felt that the meat was perfect, he quickly gathered the fruits of the tree that emits a lemon-like smell, with agile and desperate movements, Alex split the fruit with a green oval shape.

The "lemon" turned out to be like an apple when the game halved, but Alex ignored all this since when he licked the fruit, the system gave him the information of the fruit.

[Wild Magic Fruit]

Taste: Sour / Acid.

Type: Ingredient / Food

Effect: Middle Mana Regeneration, Average Mana Increase.

Magic fruit that arises from a fruit tree that grows in a place with concentrated mana, the fruits of these trees usually have random flavors and odors due to the alteration of the mana, but once the seed of the fruit is used, it stops being and no longer It is classified as wild, this fruit seems to be a magical counterpart of the lemon.
