Chereads / Evil company / Chapter 6 - Hunter

Chapter 6 - Hunter

My apprenticeship with the professor turned into a kind of exam preparation. I am forced to learn a lot of magical theory to be ready to be able to respond to any magical attack but also against physical attacks.

I also started to study the runic arts that were used in ancient times as a form of magic, they use fairly complex characters that all have a meaning and importance, it even surprised the professor.

-<< These arts are no longer used or before the great scholars like mages and even the great blacksmiths used it to use magic and enchant their weapon but their teachings began to disappear >>

Kof!! Kof!! Kof!!

- << you should go rest professor I'll take care of making dinner >>

- << Thank you very much >>

The professor seemed to be at the end of his rope maybe that explains the fact that he welcomed me into his home.

- << Well let's stop thinking about it >>

I should go hunt monsters for dinner, look for the ingredients to be able to start alchemy and improve my skills and Nagisa's.

- << hey Nagisa come on let's go >>

My partner who was waiting in a corner of the library he seemed happy to be able to stretch his body well since he doesn't have any legs.

Outside the sun was shining slightly the air carried the smells of the forest it would almost make us forget that inside everything wants us dead.

- << Well, you follow me, let's go >>

I rushed off equipped with a sword in the forest with Nagisa in tow, I took some time to observe my surroundings and for me it's normal because living in a big city since birth without knowing anything about the world except a little bit about your hometown and finding yourself in this world is great.

After this short meditation I was content to wait and concentrate on the surrounding sounds after strengthening my hearing.

Craaaak

- << I'm one >>

[ Presence detection skill lv1 acquired]

I rushed to the location of the sound to see a group in a small clearing composed of four creatures resembling deer, among the four one was larger than the others and had white hair with drawings on it the others were navy blue.

They were alves accompanied by a detalves. They are eating grass together and since they look a bit alike I deduce that the detalves are the evolution of the alves.

Well they haven't noticed me yet, the biggest one has a white color is able to use earth and wind magic, in addition to having a level 5 poison resistance, his mana is 300. The others are not a problem although he only masters wind magic I can get rid of him with nagisa.

After analyzing the situation I told nagisa that we will first take care of the three cerfagues. Being ready I whispered

- << fog creation >>

The fog created with this skill can extend up to 2 kilometers so it's perfect for a surprise attack.

At the same time as the fog set in, Nagisa bit the neck of the first deer, I rushed towards the other two, I cut one's throat while he prepared to hit me with a wind blade, the second I impaled with an ice stalactite.

WOOUUCH

My fog was cleared by a gust of wind and I heard a loud bellow coming from the creature, he was looking at us with a strong aura coming from him.

- << Well what are you not happy that we are shot down you are friends and well if you want to avenge them we are waiting for you >>

As if to respond to my provocation he started to tap the ground with his hoof, the ground started to shake slightly and stone rocks started to come out to be thrown in my direction, I avoided them and was about to cast a spell but he sent a wind blade flying quickly to my new location.

At Nagisa's it's the same he keeps him at a distance by bombarding him with ratchet, to protect myself I got behind a tree.

-<< fire javelin >>

My attack that was rushing towards him collided with a stone pillar that started to move towards me I rolled to my right and ran straight towards him.

- << Follow me nagisa >>

For this monster I could classify it in the mage category and everyone knows that close combat is their weakness.

- << fog >>

FOUCH!!

He seemed a little destabilized but he immediately launched another gust but it won't work because I deploy it continuously to disturb him I grabbed one of the bodies.

- << hey I'm here >>

I threw the body in his direction he launched a blade of air to cut it in two, at the sight of the body of his former comrade he was shocked but no time to recover that I pierced him in the abdomen with my sword and nagisa finished him off with a bite in the neck.

On the ground the body continued to move until the glow of life disappeared from his eyes
