After 5 hours of sleep, Luke has awakened to the laughs of girls. He got up and put on some clothes. After he was ready he got outside to see Amelia, Lily, Diana, Shia, and Mia talking intimately.
- Good morning everyone.
- Morning Luke how was your sleep?
- Come Luke sit with us.
- Good morning Luke.
- Good morning
- Good morning
- It's good that you are already out Mia or there could be some issues in a few hours as we are really close to the daily limit.
- Yeah I only was able to finish cultivating the energy of the world tree.
- Good we will have enough time in the future for more as these trees and herbs won't run away from you. How much did you recover?
- Around 50%.
- This much? Well, could you tell me what exactly are those %?
- To put it simply I'm Tier 0 High elf Fairy on 1 level and my stats and skills increased by 50%.
- I'm not sure is it much?
- much? Of course, it is I still can't see my stats but It feels like an increase in 8 levels at once.
- I'm still confused. Come with me and we will check your support skills.
- ok
Two hours later.
- Good with your skills my power increased by 10%
Mia smiled sweetly after hearing him praising her.
- Humph- Shia snorted and moved her head in a different direction.
- And with Shia's offensive power IT increased by another 10%. In short, both of you increased my power by 205
- Humph If I could wield my sword and shield It would increase by another 10%.
- Of course, It would. We don't have more time.
After Luke finished talking they got transported back to the bridge.
- Such a gloomy place even if there are three moons their light doesn't have any warmth in it, and those shadows on the bottom are creepy. Even those building on the sides that are going as far as we can see in the shadows. How is it possible to build something like that.
- Yeah and this light-red sky is creepy, especially with one red moon and two pale blue moons.
When they were out girls curiously looked around.
- huh? Were Mia and Shia?
- Here!!!
- What are you talking about they are just before your eyes.
- Where? I can't see them.
- Ahh I forgot that no one should be able to see us but I forgot about it inside the soul subspace.
- Apparently, you can't see them.
- How we see them inside Hunter's world just fine.
- We should remember that things can be different on the outside as inside are different world rules or something like that.
- Hmmm there are only two directions we can go which should we choose?
- Go there.
- Go there.
Shia and Mia pointed out in the direction behind their backs.
- Does it matter?
- yeah we can faintly feel the direction of a safe place for you to stay
- Okay let's go this way.
After two hours of walking.
- This is soo botting it nothing in here and I am sleepy.- Lily complained
- Are we getting closer?
- We got closer, let's continue a bit more.
After two more hours, the shadow finally revealed some buildings before them in the distance.
- Those dark brown buildings are creepy as well but they look impressive.
- yeah those gothic buildings are even scarier without sunlight and with those shadows everywhere. Also, I can see windows but no doors.
- There is no use in the rationalization of things inside a nightmare. We should move I think that we are 30 minutes away from them but we can never be sure here.
When they finally got out Lily almost kissed the stone under her feet that freed her from the bridge nightmare. When she curiously looked around she noticed a grotesque-looking humanoid monster with its limbs too long and thin and its head too big for the skinny body that carries it. In its hands were a torch and a sickle in another one. But the sickle was also grotesquely large enough for it to wield skillfully. It was walking around a courtyard that was closed from two sides and on the other side of them was a gap between buildings going downwards.
- Oh what is it?
- What a coincidence to meet something that led to my death in a nightmare, don't look down on it. It's faster and stronger than it looks that's why the First time it dealt me a terrible wound that crippled my ability to fight in later battles. Let me fight it.
Luke moved closer to the beast. He reshaped his weapons when he got closer the beast started to sniff around and looked in Luke's direction and let out a low growl and bared its fangs.
- Shit it noticed me.
He couldn't even react when the beast started to run towards him. Within two breaths best was already swinging its sickle from behind its head with great momentum. Luke dodged to the side and tried to attack the beast with a horizontal swing but had to hastily withdraw as the beast attacked him with a torch.
- fuck it is even stronger than the one who killed me.
Beast looked at him with its sickly yellow eyes and straightened up. It threw the sickle and torch to the side and got on all fours.
- Fuck it is a new move.
Luke didn't allow himself to be careless and took a good look at the beast its head was wolf-like but also a bit different his four limbs tensed and jumped at him with its upper legs open and its claws ready to tear him apart. without much choice, Luke dived under and made a shallow cut on the place where its chest would be. Luke turned around to keep the beast inside his line of sight.
- Hurph Wrrrrrr.
Beast made a painful growling and looked at him vigilantly with its yellow eyes. Luke used footwork and got closer to the beast. He tried to cut his enemy's limb but the beast reacted faster and blocked the attack with its claw. Terrifying power sent Luke flying back but one of the beast's claws was cut off but a sword. Luke lost his weapon from his hands when he crushed it with the close building.
- fuck that hurt
Beast didn't give him much time to recover and pounced on him with all its might.
[Fuck I can't die here what will happen with girls If I Die?]
His thought only wanted to keep the beast from getting closer to him and instinctively mobilized mana inside his body and let it out through his palm. He felt that his mana was depleting and saw that beast struggled under the pressure that his mana created. He materialized a sword in his second hand and cut it down with full force. But the Body of this beast was tough and he was only able to cut through three fourth of its left shoulder when the beast was able to jump back. It landed on all fours but quickly squirmed with pain when more blood started gushing out of the wound. It looked at him warily and shifted its own center of gravity to the right to prevent an increase if pain. Luke saw this and activated blood manipulation to draw blood from the beast. Beast felt that something was wrong and desperately got the sickle earlier dropped. Luke didn't let this beast do what it wanted and moved closer hacking at the beast's open back. But yet again Sword met the resistance of its muscles and the cut wasn't too deep but it was quite big from the right shoulder to the left side a bit higher where its butt should be. Without stopping blood manipulation he increased the distance between them. More and more blood got outside of the Beast's body. But the beast got up and took the sickle in its right hand and looked at Luke.
- Good waste more time and let me draw your blood.
After a few breaths, the beast rushed to Luke but this time he was prepared and created a thin line that was around its left shoulder and this move finally cut off the beast's hand.
- auuuuuuuuu!!!
Beast's howl was so loud that everyone had to cover their ears.
- Fuck I have to kill it or we all die.
Luke circulated his mana and rushed to the beast, this time beast cut horizontally and Luke had to defend himself with his sword. That attack sent him flying again. This time beast rushed to him but Luke again used blood manipulation to create countless paper-thin lines that would decrease the enemy's speed and with some luck even hurt it. With momentum decreasing Beast was able to get closer but Luke used again mana that was pouring out of his palm to create a propeller. He used it to increase distance and control his landing. He stood up and looked at the beast that stopped when saw that Luke landed firmly and increase his vigilance toward him. Luke sheathed his sword and prepared to do Iaijutsu(Fast drawing). When the beast saw it, It rushed toward Luke. He didn't panic and focused his sword intent on the edge. Beast made an uppercut from right. Luke sidestepped and dodged the attack and drew his sword that cut up to half of the beast's waist. Sword intent rampaged inside of the best that coughed blood from its mouth, but it didn't allow Luke to get scot-free and dropped the weapon and punched him. Luke manipulated blood to bind its hand but was only able to decrease its power and got punched in the shoulder which got dislocated. Finally, the beast's struggles stopped and it died.
