With the title in effect, finding monsters barefoot proved useless. Xerel sat down on the ground and examined the ward. It was an eyeball the size of a baseball, he held it into his hand and threw it in the air.
The eyeball ward then stopped mid-air and Xerel's left pupil changed in the color of the eyeball's pupil; black.
"Holy crap, I can see in a 360 view! I thought it'd be nauseating when having 2 visions at once but there's no discomfort at all! Let's make it fly."
Using his mind, Xerel controlled the eyeball to move in the direction he wished. The eyeball began floating around and flew just as fast as Xerel's speed.
The eyeball started moving in the direction of the sun. Xerel sat down and began scanning the surroundings, all he could see was forests and land but not one monster in sight.
Suddenly, a spark began to flicker in his vision, Xerel averted the eyeball to look at the sky and there he saw a giant bird engulf in flames.
"Is that a fucking Phoenix!?"
Xerel couldn't help but swear out loud. He calmed himself down and moved closer to the phoenix and as he reached a 2-meter distance, a window panel averted his vision- specifically Ward's vision.

"Oh I thought it was a Phoenix but it seems those things are only found in legends. But this is still a great find! It's an ancient rank monster and the same level as the turtle but its HP is half of it! Killing this should be easy."
Xerel immediately teleported to the location of the ward and used the ward as a stepping tool as he push his body upward to catch the flaming bird.
Kayak?
Xerel grabbed onto its flaming neck and held on.
"Although I can't fly, I sure can stick like a parasite!"
Kiyaaak!!
Enraged, the flamingo let out a wild scream and its body burned brightly. It locked eyes at the man as it watch it burn from the terrorizing heat but its scummy eyes turned quickly shocked.
"You see, the flame doesn't work on me, no, no attack works on me!"
Xerel latched on to the bird's body like a leech and with the armor's reflective property, as the bird continued to rage in flames, it was rapidly being dealt damage by the armor.
[-300,198]
[-319,478]
[-389,997]

The bird began to waddle around the air to try and shake off Xerel but Xerel stuck on it like glue. Now that he was removed from the restrictions of the Sabre, he began to poke the weak points which were outlined even with the bright light flashing in his eyes.
[-1,3000,000]
[-468,900!]
[ENEMY HAS BEEN STUNNED!]
With the effects of the titles stacking up, Xerel dealt massive damage to the bird.
"Hahaha! Die! Die!"
He continued to poke the bird nonstop and the bird couldn't do anything but scream on top of its lungs.

[DRILLING CLUB'S DURABILITY HAS DECREASED BY 70!]
[DRILLING CLUB'S DURABILITY HAS DECREASED BY 89!]

Seeing the window alert, Xerel immediately realized that the flames of the bird were rapidly eating up his saber's durability so he quickly returned it to his inventory but before it could enter inside the inventory, the Sabre turned into ashes.
[DRILLING CLUB HAS BEEN DESTROYED!]
"Shit!"
Thankfully though, the armor was being affected by the flames as it was inside the invulnerable barrier and its effects we're still working on.
Kiyaaaaah!
The flaming bird loudly screamed as the flames that envelope its body changed in the color blue.
"So you're going berserk? Well, then you made things relatively easier!"
Berserking monsters we're never a good thing, with most of their attributes amped up, their defense would sharply decrease to compensate with the other increased attributes. Even with the defense reduced, any hunters would rather avoid confronting a berserk monster. They'd wait until its berserk state disappeared and fight it again on its weakened state which happens after it has gone berserk.
"By going berserk, you're just increasing the damage that has been done to you! Despite being called an Ancient being, you're the dumbest one I've seen!"
Xerel tightened his grip as the bird went wild. It didn't take long before the flames slowly died down. Its eyes turned white and the fiery feathers in which it had shown previously turned into a horrible mess as its body was left with deep scratches and holes.
The bird fell along with Xerel and a window panel appeared in his view.

Countless panels greeted Xerel as he grinned upon seeing it. He obtained 92 levels,1 item, and 1 elemental scroll. Although quite disappointed with the reward, Xerel was satisfied.
"With this, I'm now level 237! I still have 4 hours left on the invulnerability effect. Let's check the item first!"
Xerel opened his window panel and he sparkled.
"Another saber! And it's better than the drilling Club!"

The rapier emanated burning flames similar to the Flame Mingo. Its grip was designed in crimson red and there was the feathery design on the hilt which stood out the resemblance of a Phoenix.
"I can't use it with my strength not being in the thousand mark but solving that problem is easy!"

[Exemplifier-(Active): The next attack/offense skill will be enhanced. Increases the damage by 500% and amplifies it in a wide area. The damage will be converted to True Damage if there is only one target in the area and damage is increased by 1000%.

Cooldown: 5 minutes]
"Holy shit! It enhances an attack and it even works on offense-type abilities! If I had a single target it would deal double that and converts it to true damage? What I know about true damage is that it ignores defensive properties so I can directly deal damage to their main health! I've said it a couple of times but I'll say it again, this is an absolute S.C.A.M!"
Xerel jumped in joy and briefly stooped. He stared at the dead bird as hungry thoughts went to his mind.
"Can I cook it? It should be edible."
Xerel examined the bird and sliced its meat using the rapier. To his surprise, the rapier was able to easily slice the meat of the bird. He began cutting it into slices.
He used the rapier as a barbecue stick and pierced the bird meat on the rapier.
"I don't have any proper fire but the fire properties of the sword should cook it inside right?"
Xerel held the rapier in his hand and tried to use its fire aspect.
"It's working but it'll probably take longer since the heat is not strong. Oh yeah, I have something in my inventory."

"Ooh!"
Xerel exclaimed happily as he looked at the cooking bird meat. Although he couldn't feel the heat of the flames he could visibly see it cooking the meat.
"This should cook it in less than five minutes."
To not waste some time. Xerel controlled the ward again and move in another direction. It was relatively quiet, 5 minutes passed and the meat was fully cooked. Xerel began chowing down on the meat like a barbecue.
"Mmm~ it tastes just like roasted chicken! Although it's quite bland without the seasoning, it's still better than nothing!"
Xerel chewed on the tender meat as he watched on the ward. A few minutes passed, Xerel came across roots and as he gradually came closer to it, the roots became thicker and bigger soon he saw a huge tree and as he scanned through the tree, he could see the countless giant and powerful beings surrounding the tree which looked like it had a never-ending top.
"The width of the tree is as big as a city and adding its height. It's the biggest tree in existence!"
Xerel put the ward closer to the tree to examine it clearly when another window panel appeared in his view- specifically Ward's view.
