Mana core.
A source of energy that monsters use to observe mana from the outside world to inside it body. With the help of the mana core, they break through levels and transcend in to higher tier monsters.
Studying this fact humans hunt monsters to collect mana core to transcend thier limits but unlike monsters who can simply eat ones mana core, humans cannot do that because thier body doesn't allows it, due this scientists have created the cultivation techniques to observe mana core without the need of eating it.
But right now Ryan was out of options, if he has to now escape death then he has to devover the mana core inside the heart of the lessor goblins.
Taking out the fist size heart in his right hand Ryan looked at it.
' My only hope is now is this disgusting heart ' Thinking that, he started eating it with pure hunger of survival.
The disgusting taste of goblin meat and blood was pouring inside his mouth and stomach.
He wanted to puke this meat but he held back as his life depended on it. Chewing the elastic like meat he finally reach the part that was the reason he ate this shit, Mana core.
A small marble size mana core was finally out from the lessor goblin heart.
A cooling sensation was felt inside his mouth from the mana core.
He tried to shater it between his teeth but was unsuccessful in its try.
' looks like I have to just swallow it straight '
Once he swallowed the mana core, the cooling sensation that he felt from the mana core was replaced by boiling heat waves. His stomach that was normal just now, was like a boiling pot after eating the mana core.
Veins were starting to appear all over his body. His body was getting hotter by every moment.
His mind was getting dizzy by the intense pain but he hanged on as he knew if he fells unconscious right now he will surely loose and die.
Ding..

Continuous notification was appearing infront of his eyes but he ignored it as his mind was only focused on running away from the monster.
So, ignorant to the changes happening inside his body and the warning sent by the artifact he tried to use the ability continuously as he now had the sufficient mana, but against his hope, the ability didn't activate and he got flung out from the slow world.
Crashing in the bushes infront him.
Boom..
At the same time, the rock spear hit the area were he previously stood. Causing an huge explosion. Vibration was send all around.
After the explosion, the forest again went back to it's peacefulness, except for the noise of the tyrant bear crushing the trees on its path.
The bear was really excited that his rock spear hit his prey spot on.
With it's simple mind the tyrant bear reached the spot and tried to look for his prey in the rubbles of rocks and tree barks.
Still unaware of the fact that Ryan was not under the rubbles and was crash landed two hundred meters away from the spot.
Not finding the skinny prey under the rubble, the bear got confused, whether did he oblirate the skinny prey in to pieces or did it escape from his attack.
Not sure what was the correct answer, it used his earth vibration spell and felt the area of three hundred meters around him, inside its head.
There....
He finally found out the reason why its prey was not under the rubbles.
That skinny prey was hiding in the bushes two hundred meters from his original position.
Enraged by the fact that the skinny prey has fooled its senses, the big tyrant bulldoze towards Ryan.
*****
While the two opponents were facing each other, a few silhouette were looking at the confrontation from safe distance.
If Ryan could look at the women standing infront of the mysterious group, he would have instantly recognised the her, as he had met her few days ago in the class. She was non other then Miss Lucy.
"Ryan you showed me some amazing skill today" Her melodies voice was heard by everyone in the back, as she look at the unconscious Ryan in the bushes.
Due to her high level, Lucy could clearly feel that he was unconscious behind the bushes.
" The way he killed those lessor goblin was really exceptional " A man with a white hair said from the back.
" You are right about that Albert, after all I have selected him " Lucy said in hottie manner.
" But it looks like he can't use that unique ability of his freely..... " Albert continued.
" It's mana requirement must be lot for his weak body " Lucy completed, while nodding her head.
****
Four Hours earlier...
For the past Four day's Lucy was having a good mood as she as finally found a good candidate for selection.
She had spend her four day's protecting Ryan from the background. Lucy was having fun by all this but,
Today when she came back from her meating with the federation officials, she heard a worst possible news she had listened in a long time.
Albert, her personal butler has informed her that Ryan as went in to the dark forest.
When she heard that news she almost destroyed the whole Twilight Hotel but luckily Albert managed to calm her down.
After calming herself, Lucy and Albert with some other company members went straight for the twon gateway, as fast they could.
Lucy took a device from the security guards which was able to track the location of Ryan's wrists watch.
She soon arrived at the exact location were Ryan was cornered by the tyrant bear but didn't help him, as she wanted to see the exact limit of his newly awakened ability.
*****
" Well whatever .... now it's all over for him " Saying that Lucy took her first step towards Ryan.
" I don't think its over Madam" Albert said from behind.
" Why do you think that ?... he already lost his conscio----- "
Boom!!...
Before she could complete her words, huge explosion noise came from the bushes were Ryan was.
" What the F*** "
*****
When Ryan crashed into the bushes he lost his conscious right there. And the notifications kept on ringing non stop.

In between the notification Ryan jerk up and woke up from his slumber.
But something was different about the Ryan that woke up. Unlike his normal calm and collected self, he looked like a crazy person that would jump on anyone for any given reason.
His grey eyes were a little blood shot, when he stood up from the brushes and looked towards the crazy tyrant bear running towards him.
Normally Ryan would have run away seeing this seen but this Ryan was different, he was not afraid of the tyrant bear.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhaaaa " Shouting out with all its strength.
He lowered his position and kicked off from the ground towards the tyrant bear.
With its recent increase in strength, his speed was heaven defying.
In an instant he was under the chin of the tyrant bear. Suprising the bear.
The bear tried to react to this sudden change but it was few seconds late, as Ryan's punch reached his chin right then.
Knocking out the bear from it's running position. Falling down, the bear felt a little shaky, as the punch was too sudden and was aimed at its head.
Even thought he was a high tier tyrant bear and the punch was not that powerfull to dig into its skull but still it was a strong punch.
Shaking its head the bear tried to get off his dizziness but before it could recover, Ryan jumped and sat back on the neck of tyrant bear.
Clutching the dizzy bear with it's strong grip Ryan held on.
Opening his mouth wide open Ryan screamed but this time it was not a normal scream, as no exaggerated voice was heard from Ryan's mouth but the effect could be seen.
The plants and the trees inside the radius of ten meters dried up and turned in to ashes, the ground cracked under its effect.
The bear felt pain behind it back, and it was not going away, infact it was increasing by the second.
It got sacred,
Out of survival instincts the bear punched its back with all its strength.
Blowing away Ryan from its back, at the same it also injured itself.
Due to the strength difference of Ryan and the tyrant bear, he was send flying fifty meters from the bear. Crashing on the trunk of a tree.
Unconscious.
This time he was truly Unconscious.
Unaware of the fact that a rock spear was comming towards him, sent by the tyrant bear he injured.
The projectile nearly reached the back of Ryan but before it could hit it's targets, Ryan disappeared from the tree trunk.
Boom!!.
Instead of the target, the rock spear oblirated the tree were Ryan crashed landed.
" This should be it for.... " Lucy said while standing ten meter away from the target.
Carring the unconscious Ryan in her right hand.
She looked at the confused bear and waved her hands towards it.
In response to her gesture, mana flowed from her body and burned the mighty bear to a burned crisp.
Without it's knowing, the bear died by the power of Lucy's fire spell.
Leaving behind a big mana core.
~ Swish ~ ~Swish~
" Young Miss, apparently their is a beast tide is going on inthe dark forest, they are leaded by a Epic tier beast " Albert said while appearing behind Lucy, with other members of thier group.
" Epic ? is the guards not doing their job properly " Lucy asked in a annoyed way.
" Reasons are unknown Young Miss " He replied.
" Albert take Ryan back to our Manshion while I am going on a walk " Saying so Lucy gave Ryan to Albert.
" But Young Miss - "
" Just listen to me for once Albert " Lucy said those words as she went in to dark forest.
Albert who saw her silhouette fading away in the dark forest, release a sigh and carried on with his duty.
" I just hope Young Miss doesn't burn the whole forest or I'll have to do a lot of paper work "
