<< Warning! bloodthirst has been detected within 500 meters. preparing for battle...>>
looking at the system screen he immediately summoned the 'Star god's slaughterer' and prepared for battle.
the others must have sensed it too, with their Mana, but they didn't seem surprised.
"oh, looks like some D4 Lizards," said Floyd with a calm voice.
Mark looked at the upcoming creatures with awe.
the D4 Lizards are basically Komodo Dragons from his previous world.
but still, he didn't let his guard down.
the D4 Lizards were pretty fast, and they were in a group so they caught up to them in a few seconds.
"Miss Lor, Let me fight them," Mark stepped forward.
"emperor's 4th sword..." saying that he immediately stretched his leg back and swung his sword with his might.
*ting*
with a fierce cleaving sound, the sword moved to leave behind an arc. the move covered a 120-degree field of view and the white arc shot out with a terrifying force.
the white arc immediately sliced the D4 Lizards in half.
*greee*
but it didn't stop there and collided with a huge rock crushing it down.
"Woah!" Mark exclaimed in surprise.
"woohoo, amazing!" Velma jumped in joy.
"well, that's Mark for you..."
"Mark, you overdid it back there..."
everyone laughed.
<< Congratulations host for his first step in becoming the strongest Magic. >>
<< host has killed 44 D4 Lizards. rewards are the following.
Hunting System Unlocked.
Received 100MP.
Random spell book acquired. >>
Mark's heart was beating Beating very fast. looking at all the blood splattered around, he felt very excited.
even if he hadn't killed a mosquito in his previous life, he easily killed them without any hesitation. one of the reasons was his inhuman physical strength. his whole body had been adapted to these sorts of things.
he put his sword back in his inventory and looked at the system screen.
a wide grin formed over his face.
'System, what is this hunting system?'
<< this System feature comes with a hunting package, quest related to Hunting, and items related to hunting in the System shop. >>
Looking at this he smirked this is exactly what he guessed. 'is this some sort of collaboration between OP systems out there?'
'This is just... Broken!' he exclaimed with excitement.
"Mark?"
Mark shook his head and looked back.
"Let's go!"
with that, they began to walk. unlike the grass fields on the first floor, they faced a lot of dried land and cliffs. there wasn't anything special about this floor either.
'hey system, show me the Hunting quests!'
<< ding >>
<< quest 1 - kill 50, Rank F monsters.
reward - 50 MP
quest 2 - kill 50, Rank E monsters using magic.
reward - 100 MP >>
with a satisfied expression, he closed the window.
"Um... Mr. Floyd, which rank was the D4 Lizard?"
Floyd glanced at Mark and spoke,
"The D4 Lizard was just an F-rank monster. On this 2nd floor, there are only F-rank monsters."
hearing that, a smile formed on his face.
'Okay, looks like I can complete my first hunting quest.'
with that in mind, he continued to walk.
On the second floor, they encountered another horde of D4 Lizards.
using the chance Mark slew every single one of them.
<< congratulations host on completing his first Hunting quest. >>
<< host has obtained 50 MP. >>>
'here it goes.'
Mark turned around and looked at them with a smile, "Let's go!"
"Look! we are here, that is the entrance."
Velma pointed at a similar pond from the 1st floor.
"that's..." he looked confused.
"as I told you before, there is more than one entrance, this one is the nearest to our previous spawn spot."
"How do you know, this is the nearest, and how do you the way to the entrance?"
Mark asked with confusion.
"There isn't any proof this being the nearest, because the spawn location is different each time. but the recorded entrances have an artifact placed on them. they just have to sense it with Mana and follow it."
she started to explain, as they approached it.
"Okay then, that's it for the 2nd floor, we are in a hurry today, so we are gonna skip floors until we reach the 7th floor," said Miss Lor and jumped right away.
following her others also jumped in.
*Whoosh!
the scene changed as the dark rusty land turned into a bright barren land.
Vast horizon filled with sand.
"This is the third floor of the abyss, even though there is a lot to explore if you want to, but we don't have time for that. "
saying that Miss Lor took the lead and the others followed her from behind.
even after a few hours of walking, the view didn't change at all, all they could see was sand.
Mark didn't feel any tiredness, but the others were not superhuman like him.
they stopped and decided to camp a bit a fill their stomachs.
they weren't going to spend the night there set in a single tent. just to rest a bit.
they cooked some meat they gathered from the D4 Lizards on the campfire.
even the deserted land looked beautiful in a certain manner.
the temperature around there wasn't unbearable, because there wasn't a sun.
'hey, system! show me the system shop.'
<< Shop Lv1 | Current MP - 160 MP
Body Tempering (Basic martial arts) - 50 MP
Emperor's sword (10th form) - 50 MP
Stamina potion (tier 1) - 5 MP
Mana Potion (tier 1) - 5 MP
Elemental Affinity (random) - 100 MP >>
Hunter's ring (tier 2) - 50 MP
Glacier bone Axe (tier 5) - 500 MP
Chaos Bow (tier 7) - 5000 MP >>
looking at the good stuff in the shop, Mark was very excited. he couldn't decide what to purchase.
the Emperor's 4th sword was already amazing, how much strength he could extract from the 10th sword? that would be a real overkill.
then again, he could improve his physical strength with the body tempering technique.
but what caught his eye was the Chaos Bow.
'5000 MP? tier 7? it must an OP item too...'
he pondered for a moment.
'system? tell me about the Hunter's ring'
<< the hunter's ring is a tier 2 artifact. it can boost the host's stamina regeneration by 10 percent. >>
'I see... great! purchase the hunter's ring.'
<< Affirmative! congratulations host on obtaining the hunter's ring. it has been transferred to your inventory. >>
a smile appeared on his face.
he decided not to purchase anything else.
after that, they talked for a bit and packed up to leave.
As they were walking, they noticed something, around a hundred meters away.
'a Chicken?'
he looked at the chicken-like monster, then noticed its long legs.
'what? an ostrich?'
he felt like laughing looking at the hilarious critter.
the Monster noticed them too and started to dash at them.
"be careful, even though it's just a Rank E D3 Oracrow, it is famous for its amazing agility."
Floyd Warned Mark.
Mark smiled and didn't bother to summon his sword.
"hm... I think it's really slow."
he stretched his leg and darted towards it with a terrifying speed.
all of them looked at him with astonishment. he was definitely faster than them.
this is also the first time for Miss Lor, witnessed his speed, and her heart skipped a beat.
within a second he reached a hundred meters. the Oracrow widened its eyes and turned around immediately to run but...
"got you!"
Mark grabbed its neck and lifted it in the air.
"look, chicken wings for dinner,"
he said tightening his grip, snapping its neck.
"hehe..." Miss Lor, Miss Christie, and Velma Chuckled.
after that, they continued their journey.
