Kray continued climbing like a lizard that lost its tail.
'All this climbing increased my agility and strength. It is soo a win-win scenario.' He thought,
A few Iron Beak Pink Maruda would try to stop him but was stopped by the cover below or Kray would suddenly jumped to the nearest tree until he reached the canopy of the towering tree.
An occasional arrow, wind blade and flaming chains would fly towards the approaching Iron Beak Pink Maruda that is attacking Kray. After a while, he dissappeared from the canopy.
"He is way up there, our cover wouldn't reach him anymore. We can only hope that he gets the eggs." The bow user
Hearing this, Chester immediately looked at the Bow user, eyes widen in concern. He suddenly felt the chills as a drop of sweat traced down from his side burn.
'Our covers couldn't reach him anymore? Which means he is alone up there? Shit. Kray.' Chester thought as he looked at the canopy above, feeling extremely worried for the safety of his dear friend.
Reaching a huge gaping hole, he slowly peeked his head and saw an empty nesting ground. What lies at the center are the eggs of an Iron Beak Pink Maruda.
'Such a huge nesting ground befitting for a nest for the likes of an Iron Beak Pink Maruda... Now, where is that egg? Jackpot! Getting two will be enough to pass the examination.' He thought as he scanned the hole inside.
He slowly creeped inside. Tiptoeing to the center where the eggs are. After a few strides he is just on top of the egg. A huge egg about a meter big is just in front of him. He rubbed his hands as if seeing a treasure and placed two eggs in his inventory.
'We can finally passed the exam and become students.' Kray grinned when he heard a tud sound from his back as if something landed,
"Skryaaaaaah!" A screech from behind made all of Kray's hair stood tall in surprise.
He turned around in a defensive stance and saw the most angry Iron Beak Pink Maruda. Who wouldn't be angry? He just stole one of its children. It will be understandable that a creature will become very hostile.
'Shit. Not good.' Kray knitted his brows, lift his fist to his chest and ready for a fight.
The Iron Beak Pink Maruda is a level 15 Mob, though Kray can handle one but would take a good amount of effort to kill one. What he is afraid of is once he killed this one, another one would follow, then another one, then another one until he would die of exhaustion and could not fight back anymore. As much as possible, we would leave the place as fast as he can and be done with it.
He stepped to the side and so is the Iron Beak Pink Maruda, they circle each other for a few steps glaring and staring each other as both are on its guard at one another. Who will be the predator? Who will be the prey? Who knows but the two just waited each other to whoever will be the first to make move.
Kray could only knitted his brows and seriously observe the Iron Beak Pink Maruda in front.
To break the intense atmosphere, the Iron Beak Pink Maruda attacked with its beak. Kray rolled to the side and slid with his knee before jumping to the Iron Beak Pink Maruda and punched its stomach non-stop. The Iron Beak Pink Maruda took a good beating and whipped its head to counter attack in order to distance Kray from itself. Kray noticed this, he knows he couldn't dodge away on time so he shielded his body by using his left arm as a shield to protect his himself.
BOOM!
He was sent flying and crushing to a wall from its trajectory, he then landed on his foot.
'Tsk. That was a good amount of damage.' He felt a bearable pain around his arm.
The Iron Beak Pink Maruda screeched loudly then flapped his wing, the force of its flapping got Kray to be carried by the gust as he held. He flew a good distance as he got hold onto a podtruding branch. Once the gust settled, he pulled himself from the branch to gain momentum and ran towards the Iron Beak Pink Maruda, used his signature 'Dash' to 'Rapid Punch' combo. Five deep holes was seen on the Iron Beak Pink Maruda as it screeched horribly and fell down the ground, wriggling in pain.
Kray then jumped to its head and punched the hell out of it, beating it to a pulp.

[Unarmed Level up!]
[Unarmed lvl 10 - > lvl 11]
Panting, he thought.
'I need to get out of here. I don't think I can fight another two or three of them.'
He ran towards the hole and saw an Iron Beak Pink Maruda hovering a few meters outside the hole.
"Skryaaaahhh!" It screeched in pure anger,
'SHIT!'
The Iron Beak Pink Maruda flew towards him in its maximum speed with its beak ready to pierce him. He immediately jumped to the side and hid himself to the side of the hole as the Iron Beak Pink Maruda crashed inside and broke some of its eggs. Dust scattered around the hole
'That's not my fault anymore!'
He immediately hopped out of the hole and climb down. A few meters of climbing down, an Iron Beak Pink Maruda saw him and flew towards him at the maximum speed, twirling like a drill. In a great panic he let go of his hold and slid down the towering tree and barely dodged the beak of the Iron Beak Pink Maruda.
"Kray!" Chester shouted as he finally saw the image of Kray dropping down.
The cover immediately follows as Kray just slid down the tree. He is a dozen of meters to the ground before he hugged the towering tree to slow his momentum. He slammed his buttocks to the ground as splinters are seen potruding his hands.
"Aw. Aw. Aw. Aw. My hand. Aw. aw. aw. My butt! " Kray shook his hand in pain.
"Let's go!" The purple haired demoness adressed as the two party ran towards the forest.
Chester could only clicked his tongue in annoyance and helped Kray to stand up. She couldn't even give Kray a little time to relax before retreating back.
'I could barely even take a breather, we're already running again?' The crying face of Kray is just pitiful as he ran for his life along with the two party,

[Killed an Iron Beak Pink Maruda Lvl 15 - Exp: 375]
They are an inch away from the forest and after a few minutes of struggle, they finally entered the forest and rest for a while.
All of them panting very heavily that even the graceful purple haired monster, rest her body on her knees.
Kray fell flat on the ground as he still raised his hands full of splinters.
'All Hail! Hardened Skin! For giving me the chance to still be alive!' He thought in his heart,
Chester went close to the Purple Haired Witch in annoyance.
"What the hell?! You couldn't even give Kray a little while to rest?" Chester exclaimed,
The Purple Haired Ice Evil being took her final deep breathe before standing straight and looked at Chester.
"If we stayed longer, we would be attacked by who knows how many of them." The purple haired girl with no heart to speak off coldly answered,
Chester know she is right but he just can not not feel angry for seeing the danger that has placed Kray in. He can only clicked his teeth in annoyance and went to Kray whose hands are shaking.
"Aw. Aw. Aw." Kray uttered as Geraldine pull the splinters one by one then she was helped by Crimson and Chester,
"We need to get all the splinters first before I could heal you, okay?" Geraldine says with the most sincere of voices,
"Thank you." Kray said as tears continues to flow out of his eyes,
After all the the splinters was fully taken out, Geraldine casted heal on Kray and his wounds slowly closed with a white glow.
Kray sat up and sighed very deeply.
"You okay, man?" Chester said in worry,
"Yep. I am fine now." Kray replied,
"Good because I can't stand your filthy crying face." Chester smiled,
"Now that you are finally healed. We would like our part of the deal." The purple haired icy blizzard with coldness to the absolute zero approached them without even a singe of concern,
"Sigh. Here you go." Kray feeling defeated took the egg from his inventory and gave it to The Purple haired Icy eyes with no concern for other people. Once she retrieved the egg, the party just walked away.
"YOU'RE WELCOME!" Chester angrily yelled,
"I thought you like cute girls?" Kray chuckled,
"I hate them when they're rude and ungrateful." Chester knitted his brows and pouted,
"Hahahah. True." Kray agreed.
Kray stood up from the ground and pat his buttocks from dust when an image creeped could be heard from the background. The five of them noticed this and looked at the source of the sound.
Four images walked to them with a sinister smile.
"We saw you entered the towering tree and wonder if you could hand over the egg and we will be in our way." A guy with a green eye and an evil look sneered them with a grin.
