Several of those iron-horned sheep surrounded Zoom numbering at around 7 with their sharp horns on full view, the visible anger fuming in their eyes gave off a frightening atmosphere.
The current situation was a standstill where neither party started to engage in combat but after a brief silence a brave sheep lunged itself towards Zoom starting the fight.
Seeing the sheep running towards him Zoom dashed to the side to avoid it's horns and swung his leg towards the sheep once his body was out of the way, though beasts and animals lacked in the brain department they still possessed a fearfully good instinct.
Trying to immobilise the enemy's capability to both attack and move the sheep pointed it's horn towards the incoming attack which was Zoom's leg.
'I thought it would point it's horns towards me, not my foot, that's not a problem though.' Zoom smirked.
Like as if it was simple Zoom halted his foot and retreated it, the poor sheep could not so easily move to the side to lunge itself to Zoom.
With no hope of being attacked by the sheep since it could not turn so easily Zoom took the opportunity to attack, he changed his trajectory, rather than the sheep's face Zoom now aimed for the sheep's stomach.
Bam!
The sheep was vulnerable from such an attack especially since it's side and backside were completely defenceless.
[You have dealt 102 damage!]
[You have slain a level 1 iron-horned sheep!]
[You have received 18 Exp!]
Zoom's attack landed on countless organs and partnered with the speed and power of the kick lead to only a single strike being needed to neutralise the sheep.
With another sheep down, the group of sheep were now only six in numbers.
"Sheeps don't stand a chance!"
Meh! Meh!
The sheep were unlike other beasts who fought untill the end, once they realised how Zoom was able to neutralise their comrades they all decided to flee together.
They all dashed towards the forest and luckily enough, they were running the the direction where Zoom was going so Zoom decided to take them out one by one.
In a group there would usually be one that would fall behind from the others and this group of sheep were the same.
Seeing one sheep a few meters behind Zoom focused taking this one out first, he did the same thing he did to the second sheep he had killed, he dashed to the side, grabbed on the sheep's wool to slow it down and kicked it's stomach area.
[You have dealt 78 damage!]
"I thought one kick was enough."
Unlike before this didn't kill the sheep instantly so Zoom had to deal another strike.
[You have dealt 75 damage!]
[You have slain a level 1 iron-horned sheep!]
[You have recieved 18 Exp!]
Zoom did the same thing to the other five sheep without much of a sweat.
[You have recieved 17 Exp!]
[You have recieved 18 Exp!]
[You have recieved 19 Exp!]
[You have recieved 18 Exp!]
[Congratulations you have now reached level 2!]
Now that Zoom leveled up he looked at his stat screen to see any changes that have appeared.

"Hmm, ten stat points for every level is quite good with regards to the countless ways I could distribute them, I have eight different ways of uses for them which is quite interesting."
Around Zoom were pools of blood from the onslaught he had initiated. The smell of blood was potent but Zoom has encounter countless situations such as these since he had been playing tens of MMORPG games before where he gained tons battle experience and was able to learn to fight.
Zoom then went to his inventory screen where he could see the things that had been automatically looted by his passive skill.
Inside his inventory were 8 corpses from the sheep's he had slain and 8 beasts cores that were within them. He took out one beast core to see it's description.
[Tier 1 Iron-Horned Sheep Beast Core
Consuming this beast core my give the player the following rewards by chance:
+1 Stat Point (25% Chance)
+1 Skill Point (100% Chance)
+1 Tier Fragment (5% Chance)]
Skill points where points that could be used to upgrade skills while tier fragments where points that were needed to be promoted to the next tier.
To be promoted to tier 2, one of the requirements was to obtain 1000 tier fragments together with reaching level 100.
"Interesting" Zoom didn't hesitate to gobble up all the cores he had obtained giving him 3 stat points, 8 skill points and lastly 0 tier points which was a bummer.
"Reaching level one hundred is only a matter of time but the one thousand tier points could be a problem, I need to consume twenty cores for one tier points which means I need twenty thousand beast cores." After doing the calculation Zoom took a deep breath and smiled.
"At least getting stronger would be a challenge this time."
The sun was far from setting so Zoom continued on his way through the forest to arrive in the city in time before sunset, Zoom didn't know if it would be much more dangerous at night but he didn't want to take chances.
But it wouldn't take Zoom more than two hours to reach his destination with his current pace so from time to time Zoom would encounter a few beasts that gave him trouble and one of them was the foe he was currently facing.
Zoom had been quite confident due to his earlier successes and forgot to tread through the forest carefully and now due to his carelessness, he was now up against a beast that has sensed his noise and smell and one that was quite fearsome.
