"Inventory." I said as the inventory screen appeared in front of me.
I equipped the Dark Magic Imbued R1897 as the creature was now within my sight of vision.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation.
The creature appeared from between two trees.
It looked something like a snake but it looked more bigger and fierce than that. It has a large, jet-black body with what looked like thorned scales. The scales looked quite tough.

Hisssssss-----!
It's eyes were white and it hissed with his loud voice. It had long pointy teeth which looked poisonous.
Quest: Kill The Tempest Serpent

Description: A creature has appeared before you as you were eating. It is a Tempest Serpent which has appeared here for unknown reasons. Kill it before it kills you.

A serpen-
Before I could read anything more, it charged at me with its mouth open wide.
It was probably trying to eat me whole.
I aimed at its eye so that it would die without me having to do much.
I had only one shot to kill the Serpent after which the next bullet will be reloaded in a minute. I pulled the trigger and then the bullet hits the serpent's eye.
Fiiikkk!
The silenced sound of the R1897 was heard and the Serpent began to move around crazy. He started to hit his head on trees and the rock on which I was sitting before. At some point, he also tried to hit me but I jumped back, dodging its desperate attack.
I aimed at its other eye and shot and...
Click!
I had forgot that it would take a full minute to get this weapon reloaded.
Seeing this, I took out my katanas from my inventory. Two katana inside two sheathes appeared on both of my waist.
I don't have much experience with katana or swords but I guess this will do for now. I took out a katana from my left and holded it tightly with both of my hands.
The Serpent on the other hand, released some kind of purple smoke from his mouth.
It's poisonous breath? I have to make some more distance from him.
Taking some distance, I took note that his left eye was shot but he still can use his right eye to see.
Right as the Serpent was releasing poisonous breath, he fell to the ground.
I ignored all of the messages as right now my main interest was the serpent. It was according to my expectations, he bled out after losing so much blood from his left eye.
"Hm... The bullet had done much more damage to that thing than I thought." I said as I walked up to him and corouched to observe him from close.
He's so big! He looked more bigger from close up.
I can steal his skill?
Then steal it, I guess.
I guess now I am stronger than before. I thought as I stood up again.
As I stood up, I said with a cold voice.
"Who's there?" I looked towards some bushes as three figures came in front of me.
Three of them were man in which two were wearing armour while the last one wore the outfit of a wizard.
The two men had a sword inside a sheathe behind their back. The mage holded a stick in his hand on top of it was a ball.
"Hey Rein, we didn't expect to see you here." The knight looking person said who had red hair as his most notable feature.
They smiled at me as they walked towards me.
I didn't knew these person but they were acting as if they knew me.
"Perhaps did they knew the previous Rein?" I thought as he put his hand behind my back in a friendly manner.
"You managed to killed an Tempest Serpent which is truly quite a feat. May I know what is that thing you used for killing it?" The other knight looking person asked who had yellow hair as he smiled at me.
"Uh.. May I ask but who are you?" I asked the red haired person.
"Huh? Did you forget about us?" The red haired person said.
"No. No. Of course not." I acted as I would probably know their name somewhere at our conversation.
"That's good! Now, you know, right? How much of a good friend we are to you. So, give us that artifact which you have in your hand." He said with a serious look at the end of his sentence as the three of their faces changed from nice and kind looking to evil and cruel.
