Puchi! Puchi!
Within just a matter of a second, Nathan had attacked 3 times consecutively. The tiger was not expecting that Nathan was going to appear just below it, and it was not able to react on time the moment that he attacked.
The tiger paused its movements. At this moment, the injuries that it had suffered were extremely fatal. That was because Nathan had simply targeted the weak point of the tiger which was located below its belly.
Within this world, every monster actually possessed a weak point. As long as that weak point was attacked, the monster would not be capable of surviving at all.
It was not a must for a person to be able to completely destroy the heart of a monster considering that there were some monsters that could actually manage to survive even if their hearts were destroyed. That of course only applied to high level monsters.
But of course, the monsters also knew about the existence of the weak point on their bodies. For that reason, they usually protected those parts that they considered as the weak points, ensuring that nobody would be able to easily reach them.
But right now, the tiger had not expected that Nathan was going to blink and appear just below the weak point before striking. Shadow blink. This was a skill that allowed Nathan to be able to move from one shadow to another as long as it was within 100 m. This was so overpowered that even Nathan himself could not understand how it was possible that just anybody within that Rapid Kill assassination organization was capable of learning it.
But thinking of it, every skill had a weak point that could be exploited. As for this skill, as long as there was no shadow in an area, it was impossible for Nathan to be able to utilize this skill. In fact, the majority of the skills that had the name shadow required the shadow for them to be able to be utilized.
Bang!
The body of the tiger collapsed onto the ground heavily as the tiger was completely lifeless after Nathan had attacked the weak point. Nathan was immediately relieved after killing the monster.
He had already realized that it was going to be difficult for him to be able to fight against monsters in case he decided to fight against them head on. But due to the skills that he possessed, it was definitely not impossible for him to be able to ambush a monster.
He went ahead and collected the monster core from the head of the tiger. The size of the monster core was quite small, almost the size of a thumb nail. For that reason, it was quite easy for it to be carried around.
The color of the monster cores was different depending on the rank of the monster. For those at one star rank, they would possess a red monster core, for two star, it was green, three star was yellow, Foster was blue, and finally, five star was white. So, the one that Nathan had picked was definitely red in color.
Nathan observed it closely considering that this was the first time that he was coming in to contact with a core. According to the information that he possessed about this small bead that he had just extracted from the monster, it was that it possessed incredible strength.
It could be said that It was actually a power source. And it could be utilized by people in order to increase their power level. But of course, it needed further processing to be able to be utilized.
Additionally, it could also be utilized in making weapons and so on. This small bead possessed a myriad of uses and that was why it was the most important part of a monster core.
Nathan had just finished remembering about the uses of the monster core when suddenly, a prompt appeared in front of him.
[1 star level 8 monster core detected. Does the host want to consume the core in order to improve his strength?]
Nathan was of course dumbfounded. Initially, he had already been asking himself why it was that he did not feel any changes in his body after killing the monster.
According to the system, he was supposed to be able to improve his strength as long as he killed a monster. But even after he had killed the tiger, there was nothing that happened at all.
At first, Nathan thought that perhaps the reason behind him not killing anything was simply because he had just killed a single monster, and it was at the same level of himself.
But now, he immediately understood what it was that the system had implied by claiming that he would be able to improve his strength by killing monsters. But even then, he could not help but feel a little helpless about this system.
There was no communication between the two of them in case there was a misunderstanding on his side. Additionally, had it not been for the fact that he had dug out the monster core, he would have definitely not been capable of knowing that this was actually the way that he was supposed to improve his own strength.
Nevertheless, there was nothing that Nathan could do considering that the system did not communicate with him at all. So, without hesitation, he decided to accept for the monster core to be consumed to improve his strength.
In any case, he was going deeper into the forest. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to keep the monster cores with him instead of improving his strength. As long as his strength increased, he would be able to kill high level monsters, and with that, he would be able to get high level monster cores.
The moment that Nathan accepted, the red bead that he was holding in his hand suddenly disappeared. Not surprised considering that he had already understood that the system was kind of magical, he waited patiently before he suddenly felt that a change had suddenly occurred within his body.
At this moment, Nathan suddenly felt that there was energy that had erupted out of nowhere and was filling his body. Then in the next moment, he felt his strength increasing slightly, but even then, he was not capable of reaching the next level. It seemed that he would have to kill a few monsters or at level 8 of the one star rank in order for him to be able to level up to reach the next level.
Nathan was immediately motivated the moment that he felt that he could increase his strength in this way. There was actually nobody else within this world that was capable of doing what he was doing, well, according to the information that he had received from the memories of the original Nathan.
But in any case, Nathan believed that he would definitely be capable of going beyond the level that the other trainees that have joined the association together with him had reached within no time. As for those that had already reached the two star rank, he would definitely be capable of catching up to them, and even exceeding them as long as he maintained this pace within this forest.
With excitement in his eyes, Nathan charged deep into the forest with the intention of hunting more monsters to level up.
