" it's not really about hunting but a man must keep his word no matter what plus we have to get food somehow now get to it my boy." old man butcher says while walking away.
"he's definitely hiding some things." Damon thought to himself while watching him leave.
Damon immediately got into action announcing that a vote for a new city head would take place later today and informed everyone to meet at the stadium yard at 4:00. Shield had told Damon about the devices that were given out to help people get to their homes.
Damon could connect with every device at once and input a time and location to meet and so that's what he did. He decided to add a few things to the devices, everyone with a device could now pull up a small visual of the city map and set a destination. he felt this feature would be good so they could easily navigate and learn the city faster.
"As time went by he learned anything that was part of the system no matter what it was he, could alter it or change it completely as long as it was dealing with the city. he could rearrange the buildings if he wanted. there was also a feature to upgrade the city buildings and land which were the only things that required certain conditions.
"hmmm seems like I don't have to wait for a quest from the system when it comes to the city." Damon said while scrolling down looking at all the city information. "I can pick certain quests if I want."
"ok well I guess I'll get the guys and we can all go hunting as long as we are back before 4:00." he thought to himself.
Damon released Javaline as he walked out the room down the stairs and out of the castle. he then pulled up the systems wardrobe options. it's time to get some actual good clothing and some boots that actually fit he says looking at everything he was wearing.
"that cloak is a really good cloak,at least I think so. it was made from the skin and inner belly of my very first kill which wasn't an easy kill by the way." shield says in an annoying tone as Damon slyly commented about his attire.
"what did you kill a giant beast rat without fur," hahaha! Damon chuckles.
"Rodantulas are weak and stupid, that coat was made from a beast called weaves which are herbivores but are known primarily for their speed. on my planet even with the power many of us have to catch one is a very big deal,well when we are young anyway. their speeds can outmatch ours and any other beast or being I have ever encountered, but they are harmless. " shield said.
"woah outmatch your speed, as much as you brag about your power and your world I'm surprised to hear you say that." Damon said in a teasing manner.
well I'm referring to a very young version of me and there are many powerful beasts in my world. you and anyone on this planet wouldn't hold a candle to, even sir hughes could probably only get past the most basic beasts that dwell within my world.
"yea yea sounds like a huge exaggeration if ya ask me." if shield had a face at the moment it would probably look highly perturbed. "Damn brat " Shield said to himself.
Damon looked at a few clothing and boot options. they all required certain materials and beast products. his eyes were glued on something simple but a little stylish. orange and black armor that was made from an insect type beast. it seemed to be the only quick choice because it was only 3 things he needed and according to the system he could find them just outside obsidian city.
"it's a shame I couldn't wear the armor that red orc wore it was way too big for me, but I guess I should have taken it anyway, could have given it to someone else or sold it somehow." he thought to himself.
he then contacted jolly who was also still with the others. "sorry Damon we have orders from sir hughes to handle a few things so all of us are tied up at the moment." jolly responded to Damon asking him and the others to join him for a hunt.
"ok no biggie I'll be gone for a few, but I'll keep in touch. well girl looks like it's just the two of us." he said rubbing on Javaline's head.
Damon left the city and was now leaving beast free forest. "you see that forest past that field over there girl, that's where we are going to start our hunt. it's never really any big threats there and it's one particular kind of beast there that I would hunt even without power." Damon said crossing a meadow of high grass that reached to his knees.
he soon entered another forest that was almost completely grey in color. the soil was much different as it was hard grey clay with small cracks throughout. the trees were brown and black with grey leaves that had small spots of orange on them looking like dots.
grey leaf forest was the name and it was the only forest Damon would come to due to its lack of powerful wild beasts.
"my father used to bring here a lot for training, for some reason we only trained doing one thing." Damon said to Javaline as they soon reached an area with many holes throughout the ground.
"there girl you see them, those are called bull birds, it's a flightless bird that lives in underground burrows." he whispered to Javaline.
Bull birds were harmless and very skittish. they were yellow in color with brown eyes and around a foot to two foot tall with four legs. it had one single horn on its head most times but some had two or three. the horns were very small and sometimes couldn't be seen unless the feathers were taken off when it came to processing them for meat.
Damon would only hunt them because all they did was run away and with one throw of a dagger he would be able to hurt or kill a few in which he would take back to old man butcher for coins.
a group of six was currently pecking away with their large red beaks in the nearby grass. Damon reached to the side for his daggers and remembered he had never gotten them back after the fight at school.
he then remembered his newly acquired dagger, the soul dagger and thought it was a good time to test it out.
pulling out out the double bladed dagger he prepared throwing it when he had another idea. he then created multiple static spheres and threw thew them as fast as he could. the bull birds didn't notice the balls of electricity swirling towards them until it was too late.
the bull birds couldn't even let out a squeak or squack before their little bodies began to jolt and fall over completely paralyzed.
Damon rushed to them and cutting their throats within seconds. He then began picking them up one by one storing them in his dimensional space.
Yap! "hey you could have asked Javaline." he says as Javaline snatched one of the birds up and began swallowing it whole. in one gulp it was gone.
She then slid off Damon and headed for one of the holes in the ground. "taking matters into your own hands I see, well you make them come out and I'll put them down girl, you can eat as many as you want afterwards."
Seconds later four bull birds came rushing out and Damon was ready with two static spheres managing to hit two of them while the other two went down another hole. this played out a few more times before Damon realized throwing them wasn't getting him anywhere, at least not fast and so he focused on shooting it out of his palms but in order to do so he had to focus. six static spheres generated in the space around him instead of forming in his hand.
Ding!
[reconstruction of the attack static sphere has been detected. would you like to change it's automated function.]
"oh I get it,so the way I create attacks has a big influence on it. usually I generate it within my hand but this time I did within the air. hmmmm yes change automated functions."
Ding! Automated functions with the attack static spheres has been changed.
suddenly Damon felt he didn't have to focus anymore as the balls of electricity floated near him. "ha now this is more like it."
during this Javaline just kept entering hole after hole making the bull birds run out of one hole into another.
Five more birds rushed out heading for another hole. with a simple thought Damon was able send the balls forward at a decent speed paralyzing all of them. he repeated the same steps over several times and realized his ki had drained a great bit.
"dang it, each sphere cost me 10 percent of my ki doing this over and over with this many is draining it much faster than I thought. I guess it's time to make this up close and personal, my speed is way faster than them I just like using my powers." He said to himself running in while swiftly yanking them up one by one cutting their necks.
this went on for a few minutes until no more bull birds came rushing out. they had completely cleared the area and moved to the next which was much bigger around a hundred meters away.
After two hours Damon had worked up a good sweat while clearing three more areas of bull birds. in total he had over a hundred in his dimensional storage.
Javaline had eaten over seventeen of them so he would have had more. Javaline had also discovered unhatched bull birds within a few of the holes much deeper within the burrows which she pushed out to the surface. there was only around twenty or so and they couldn't be stored within his storage space because they were considered alive.
Only dead things as well as objects could be stored inside his dimensional storage and so he dug a hole at the foot of a tree and covered them back up while marking the tree by carving an x in which he planned to pick them back up on his was back to the city.
