As his eyes were filled with tears, ethan brought his hand forward where monsters where gathered. And directly used his supernatural power ' fire arrow ' .
But the only difference was that, Ethan used all of his mana in one go. And Able to make numerous arrows and without counting or targeting , Ethan directly fired them toward the monster.
And without any resistance, all of them impelled with single or double arrows. Some of them even got more then 5 arrows. But without any doubt, all of them died without any resistance. And with them, ethan was also blacked out for emptying his mana pool. While being depressed, he didn't even noticed his mana pool and used it all.
Seeing this, Elaina quickly came forward to check on him. Finding nothing wrong with him except empty mana pool. She heaved the sigh of relief.
She took his head and put it on her lep. And started caressing his forehead like a loving wife. Since don't know when, because of her decision to marry him or love at first sight. She doesn't feel awkward doing all this.
But one thing always made her worried, when he will know that I am a monster aswell. Will he marry me or even love me ? but when he talked about his mother, all her worry went away with the wind.
When she was deep in thought. Suddenly all the dead monsters started to tremble and after a few moments they stopped. From beginning to end she didn't understood what happened. As she became alert, she started looking left and right for any sighn of danger .
Meanwhile system having a feast of his life. Few second ago, it was him who stole all the cores from the monsters without her knowledge. And this skill wasn't shown in the status nor Did he told Ethan. Because he got it after the mutation.
And system didn't think, it's necessary for current ethan to know everything. But once he grow stronger, he will know everything.
In total , there were 126 monster that Ethan killed a while ago. Among them horn rabbits were more then half as for the rest . They were some small monster and some big .
And among this 126 cores ,80 cores were D grade and the rest 46 were E grade cores.
After taking all the 80 cores for his upgrade. System was still behind 20 of them. So he had to use all the 40 plus E grade cores . But even after that, He still needed 16 cores for next upgrade.
After few hours, ethan opened his groggy eyes and the first thing he saw was Elaina. Scared, he suddenly jumped from Elaina's lep and stood up. Looking around, when he came to sences he exclaimed " my monster cores " and started digging the corpses.
Seeing him act crazy, Elaina was shocked.' Did something happened to him while he was fainted. '
Without knowing anything, she started to get worried again. And asked." Ethan are you all right?"
Ethan didn't reply but started to talking to himself." Oh no , all the cores are gone. " Slumping on the ground he started to curse his luck.
Suddenly system informed him." Don't worry about the cores, i already took it."
Hearing this he sighed in relief but suddenly confused." How did you do this? Did you ask Elaina for it? "
" No, I did it own my own . And she didn't even know what happened."
" Oh it's good. But how did you take the core without touching the bodies."
This time system was silent. Not getting any answer for sometime. Ethan sighed and didn't probe any further. But still told him.
" Of all the system, I have heard in novels . You are very different. And i also know , there are somethings you can't tell me now. But only one i would say. Trust me as I trust you."
" Don't be so emotional, I am not hidding anything from you. Just it's not the right time to tell you that's it. When the time is right you will know without you asking. Just trust me on this."
Ethan nodded, and looked towards Elaina. Who looked quite worried for himself. " Pls tell me what should I do now."
" Ethan, i think she is good. All this while when you were fainted . She took good care of you. I think she is not joking around with you. "
But he still didn't felt reassured." But she is a monster. "
" Ethan, listen to me . First you have to forget about the culture you were known from birth. Now this is a different era. And you have to change with it. And I am not saying that just go marry her now . Just keep her around and know about her better and then made a decision ." Ethan thought about it and nodded.
After some talk he went toward Elaina who's worry hasn't gone yet and reassured her. " Don't worry, I am fine."
After hasitating a little Ethan finally spoke" listen Elaina, how about this. You can come with me, that way we can know each other better. And even after that you feel like marrying me , i wouldn't mind . How does this sound? "
But for Elaina just staying with him was good enough. she was happy and agreed without hasitation.
Seeing her nod , Ethan heaved the sigh of relief. And a smile appeared on his face.
"Ok, let's go hunt monsters. "
" Oh I can help with that." Hearing her ethan suddenly stopped her.
" No , this is too boring. We will hunt monsters my way. "
She nodded , for her just staying with ethan was enough. And as long as , he is happy it doesn't matter.
After taking a random direction ethan started walking followed by Elaina.
As they went even deeper C grade monsters started to appear in front of them and the real hunt is about to start.
But they didn't know , this is just a start of their legendary journey. Which will be known throughout the galaxy.
