'Haaah!'
Cedrick took a deep breath.
'So this is where I should get serious. Good thing I knew this earlier. Thank you Wisdom Core or I really won't know what to do.'
Cedrick contemplates then inspected what changes to Clark.

Hooh..
Cedrick took again a deep breath after seing the changes.
'It really increased by 50% and also, his HP has 1044 left meaning I reduced it to 522. I should just attacked him earlier and win this already.'
'Why did I focus my Ultimate Foresight on his movements earlier and did not calculate this? I am an idiot. This is very important detail I overlook.'
Cedrick is inwardly cursing himself for his recklessness. He didn't noticed that his speed of thinking skyrocketed at 3 times speed. Suddenly after immersing a notification popped out.
[Due to your fast thinking on a crucial moment
Skill Parallel Thought acquired.]
Cedrick ignored the notification as he focused himself at the approaching enemy in front of him.
[Parallel Thought Activated]
¹'The boss is totally stronger than me right now so I should be careful.'
²'I won't back down and fight till the end. That's the path to become strong.'
¹'Focus and win.'
²'You are still calling me a meal and dinner. Don't underestimate a dragon bastard.'
Unknowingly activating his newly acquired skill. 2 Different thoughts simultaneously ran on his mind.
'Kill, kill, kill, I'll kill you right now my prey. I will make you taste pain and fear for insulting the great me.'
Clark pounced at explosive speed and attack.
[Enemy Clark activated Shadow Fang]
[You have suffered 1175 Damage.]
[Immortality Activated]
[Absolute Regeneration Activated]
[Your HP has been restored to 100%]
Due to the sudden attack and increased speed Cedrick reacted lately. Cedrick narrowed his eyes and muttered.
'You might have have become faster but your efforts are useless. If you can't kill me. You can't defeat me.'
Cedrick said provocatively.
¹'I should really be careful right now. I only have 1300 HP and I can't let him damage me that surpasses that amount.'
²'He only has 1000 HP left means I can finish him in 2 hits.'
¹'I can't let him link his skills because that will increase his damage and that will totally empty my HP.'
²''I only needs 2 hits and that will finish the boss!"
Cedrick calmly analyzed the situation to turn the unfavorable crises and overcome it. Cedrick immediately run towards Clark which made Clark delighted.
"Hahaha. You can't wait to be eaten by me right? This great me will grant your wish painfully."
Clark laughed maniacally. Losing its reason and to jump with a rushing speed, Clark jump towards Cedrick with a drool.
[Enemy Clark has Activated Shadow Fang]
Seing the rushing Clark. Cedrick immediately ducked and slides down like a professional baseball player. Suprised by it's prey's unexpected action, it widened it's eyes. After passing through Clark. Cedrick immediately got up and immense dark blue mana gathered around Cedrick's fist.
"I can so this. Hit!"
[Destruction Fang of the Arcane Dragon]
[Critical!]
[You have dealt 600 Damage to the target.]
Kuhaa!
Clark spit off a mouthful of blood after being hit in a complete defenseless state.
Baaam!
[You have dealt 50 Damage to the target.]
Hitting hard on the ground. Clark scoffed angrily.
"Haaaah! I'll really kill you brat! Even killing you once is not enough."
[Enemy Clark has Activated Shadow Rush]
To stop the momentum of being continuously thrown. Clark transformed into a shadow and rapidly approaching Cedrick. Seing this Cedrick snorted.
"Not calling me a prey anymore it just means your brain has filled a little."
Cedrick provoked hoping its head filled with rage. Seing his provocations worked, Cedrick is very delighted.
¹"It's really good fighting a dumb one. I won't have to worry about clever tricks. Let's make it even more dumber."
²"This is really going to be troublesome. Let's finish this."
[Enemy Clark has Activated Shadow Claw]

Continuous damage hits one after another. Cedrick clinched his teeth after taking defensive posture. Cuts after cuts occasionally appears in his body but it heals instantly. Cedrick released enermous mana around to do what he had done earlier.
"Hahaha. Do you really thing you can stop me? It's just pure coincidence."
Clark proude exclaimed.
"Jeez this is really bothersome."
Cedrick complained as he was waiting for opportunity to come. Formulating how to get out of this current predicament. A sudden flash of thought flows into his. Cedrick calmed his breating and hardens his legs. With strength focused on the legs. He leap off to a higher altitude.
"What?"
Seing him jumped and getting out of reach. Clark was flustered and revealed his true body. Getting out of the attacks, Cedrick immediately inspected Clark again.

"164 HP. All I need is 1 hit."
Cedrick muttered thinking of a possible cool magic befitting an ending. Thinking of it, Cedrick grinned which makes Clark shiver.
"Rejoice Shadow Demon Wolf. I will give you a honorable end for entertaining me on my first day if this world."
Cedrick said loudly as he raised his left arm unconsciously. Dark blue mana burst out with a scorching heat. He immediately unleashed it towards Clark at explosive speed.

"I earned 55,000 Exp. but I only leveled up 5 times. Jeez, the more I level up the more the Exp. huh?"
Grumbled with a downcast face.

After pondering for a while Cedrick opened his status window.

''It really makes me happy seing my stats increased. Maybe if I fight Clark again I might win easily next time.''
Cedrick grinned imagining the angry howls of that wolf. He quickly glanced the corpse of Clark and thought.
''Maybe I should learn Necromancery. This is an Epic wolf just below the Legendary. If I can have this as a minion how convenient is that?''
"Then it's decided. If ever meet a Necromancer I'll learn Necromancery. He doesn't need to teach me. I'll just let Wisdom Core analyze it for me because I know if Wisdom Core gave it to me. The skill is in outmost perfection."
Cedrick grinned with eyes filled with anticipation thinking of the crazy idea.
[Cold Blooded Activated]
"Well what a killer joy."
Cedrick shortly grumbled for taking away his happiness. Cedrick then stored Clark's corpse in the inventory and continue his travel. Cedrick then checked the notification he ignored earlier during battle.

Cedrick stared silently at the hologram and murmured something softly.
"This explains why I felt I was able to come up with a conclusion very fast earlier."
"Thank you for the help SYSTEM. I will use this skill very wisely. With Wisdom Core I'm sure I can maximize its efficiency."
As he was walking Cedrick thought of a new crazy idea.
"Hey Wisdom Core!"
{Yes Master. Any of your order shall be fulfilled.}
"I was wondering had you perhaps analyzed the shadows earlier? Recalling my fight earlier, it's really convenient if I can transform into shadows for ambush and hiding."
Cedrick asked Wisdom Core hoping for a satisfactory answer. As always, his cheat skill doesn't let him down.
{Yes Master, I had already analyzed the sample shadow from the previous fight. Do you perhaps want to learn controlling shadows Master?}
"Yes, I would like to for the sake of convenience and future uses."
{Due to having analyzed a sample of shadow. I am able now able to analyze and synthesize data from the Dragon's Knowledge skill of Master to access the power of the Shadow Dragon.}
"Huh?"
Cedrick unconsciously asked as he does not expected this.
{As Master is an Arcane Dragon who is able to dominate every element, it's only natural if Master's skill about shadows came from a Dragon.}

Cedrick smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
"As expected of my cheat skills. They didn't really let me down."
''With this, I can get that item in Lubana Kingdom with ease."
As Cedrick's arriving in a valley. He suddenly frowned and covered his nose after smelling a stench smell from a distance.
"Kek.What is this? Even it's still far away I can still smell it. Dragons really have sensitive sense of smell."
[Draconic Eye Activated]
Cedrick opened the mini map and saw 5 red dots, he silently makes his way into the source of the bad smell. After arriving at a distance and having a clear view Cedrick inspected it.

'So its goblins. Does the goblins in anime describes they smell this bad? I don't remember."
"Now then. Lets make Shadow Manipulation into use."
"This is so exhilarating."
[Shadow Manipulation Activated]
Cedrick transformed into a shadow and came out from the Goblin Archer's shadow. Without anyone detecting, Cedrick began his assaults.
[Shadow Blade]
Blades of shadows immediately slashed the neck of the 5 pitiful Goblins.

Cedrick stood expressionlessly after finishing off the Goblins.
"Goblins are so stingy. Maybe I should avoid them next time. They smell so bad and gave so pitiful rewards. Not worth the effort at all."
Cedrick immediately leave and continued his journey not knowing he's going to the direction of the Goblin Village.
