Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 -Quest Appendix

After defeating the slime monster, I teleported back to where I was. Back in the slime field that I had exterminated and where remains lay here and there. The sun was very low, so I decided to go home to meditate on the investment of my attribute points. Strength perhaps? The 5 points I invested were felt against the slime boss. Mmmh! Or wisdom? No idea why, but I'm intrigued by this attribute, I don't know exactly what it's for.

Back in my loti, I prepared a fire and a beer to prepare myself to read a book on magic that I bought "mana level 1" at 400 gold coins! A real fortune, however I was able to sell the boss's weapon axe at a good price which allowed me to buy this.

I have always been curious about magic arts and this book will help me discover the basics: mana control. I finished my beer and started reading the book which turned out to be very complicated, I did not understand all these complex symbols. Suddenly an idea came to me. So I invested 10 points in wisdom. "Notification! - You are now a wise learner lvl1, Intense Gaze lvl1, Magic Regeneration lvl2, World Understanding lvl2" To be or not to be, I tell myself laughing.

After having invested my points I felt a slight change, I was more lucid, I reopened my book and suddenly everything seemed clear and easy, I finished the entire book in 2 hours and I practiced using mana.

Then a cry in the village sounded loud and high. I hurried out of my house to witness a horrific scene: a huge werewolf scratching the air and space around him, surrounded by guards lurking there, the beast had attacked a woman and her child. The werewolf uttered a powerful and stunning sound, everyone wavered and the next moment, the beast had disappeared.

And so it began: "The hunting of the Magistral werewolf"

- - - * Hunting the Magistral werewolf *- - - -

The guards gathered around the victims to gather information about the beast, its specificities and if possible its attributes. A werewolf could possess at most 2 attributes and they varied greatly: steel claws, stone body, etc...

This one had claws in mithril which is a rare and terribly resistant metal, its second attribute remained a mystery. The hunt had been opened and displayed freely on the board of the guild, a bonus of 1500 gold coins will be awarded to who will kill the beast. I longed to seize this opportunity but the gain was less than the risk of this quest.

This werewolf was at least twice as heavy as a common werewolf and had an unknown attribute! However I now controlled the mana freely in my body and handled it with dexterity, I don't have enough money to buy spell books however I tried something.

I condensed the mana in my palm and then added the attributes of fire and wind. A ball of fiery fire glowed in my palm but it wasn't enough to beat a werewolf and then like a drop of perla genius water on my forehead, I added the mana of sulfur, a compound that was rich in flammable product. I learned this in the book I had just read at the end.

The fireball heated so much that it became white and melted the ceiling! It could defeat the werewolf, I had to find a flaw in its movement to touch it perfectly but a werewolf was agile and strong, he can easily circumvent my plans as complex as they are.

And it was by intertwining all these reflections that I fell asleep peacefully in search of an answer to "how to defeat the Magistral werewolf?"

I woke up in great shape, the night had given me ideas about the possible openings of werewolves.

While I ate an egg, I made the decision to go hunting for the Magistral werewolf, the gain had got the better of me. I gathered my equipment and made a stop at the alchemy stand.

"- What would you need, young man?"

"- A sleeping potion, please"

"- It will be 50 gold pieces"

"- Is it powerful enough?"

"Without a doubt, you could put an ox to sleep with this"

Then I stopped at the trapper's stand to buy equipment that would be useful to me. Ready! I went to the entrance of the "Cairn du Noir" forest and proceeded to enter it.

The atmosphere was heavy and a thin layer of fog was flowing this morning. You could hear leaves moving and trees oozing but the wolf remained hidden. That's when I used my equipment: an anti-odor box that acted like a smoke and ultra-resistant nylon wires to set traps. I decided to invest my remaining 15 points in strength and mana with respectively +8 points in strength and +7 points in mana.

In this way, my blood vessels that fed my muscles widened to form new mana channels. I proceeded to set traps around my camp, the sun was already setting and I had searched the area all day looking for trace, without success. I lit a precarious camp fire and laid out my sleeping bag then 3 hours passed in the darkness of the forest.

Embraced in a semi-deep sleep, I began to discern metal sounds, they were weak but audible at this distance. Who could train at such an hour in the forest, I said to myself. I caught a torch from my camp fire and decided to head for the sound source. As I walked closer, a trap was set without warning, a rope caught my foot and caught me in the air, like a meat hanging from a hook. Panicking slightly, I lifted my body to look at the nature of my hold! A magic rope! And while sounds of fighting raged, I stood there without remedy to my situation.

And though I twisted and did my best to free myself, the noise ceased. A cry of pain had pierced the white sky to freeze my bowels. Suddenly, a stealthy step passed by, and a thick black shape crossed my field of vision, the werewolf was there!
