We kept moving towards our destination and reached it in another 10 minutes. We have to kill as many monsters as we can today as it will reduce the pressure of hunting more monster tomorrow.
This is where the hunt begins. We have to be more cautious as there could be a monster nest anywhere and can attack us from anywhere.
Dawn stayed close to me after my 1st attack as she believed that one shot kill was just a lucky shot. I didn't tell her about the sense I have because of the Air element with the sense is rare and I am still trying to understand it.
It is a skill that can be recognized by the System, but can be considered as a passive skill. I will have to understand it more to make the System recognize it as a skill.
I looked around to see a small hole on a tree. I signaled it to Dawn who went close to it and activated her Fire element to force the monster if there is any inside it to come out.
Nothing came out of the hole. She deactivated her element and looked to the other side of the tree. She turned around disappointed finding no monster there.
We kept moving systematically in search for monsters to hunt. We found few groups moving around like us searching for monsters. We took our time, searching every corner while roaming around the swamps.
SCREECH
We heard a screech from a nearby bush and immediately went into defence. I saw a blur come out of it towards Dawn who was close to it. It is a Rabbit which tried to bit her with it's sharp teeth.
CLANG..
I heard a sound, metal hitting a rock. Dawn has defended herself from the rabbit's attack which also threw it away by a few meters. Seeing it's attack failed, it became angry and jumped again to attack.
Dawn was fast this time as she swung her sword at the path of the rabbit while taking a side step to dodge it's attack. The rabbit in mid air couldn't change it's trajectory and got hit by her sword.
SLICE!!
The neck of the rabbit was cut in half which died instantly before falling into the swamp. It was faster than the snake I killed, but was killed in a single attack.
Dawn stored it in her hunter watch. We stayed in the placed for a few more minutes with hope that the sound would have attracted a monster, but we were not lucky enough.
We again started moving and we found a group of lizards in a distance coming towards us. We prepared ourself for a battle as we will have to face the 3 lizards that are coming.
The lizards had a thick skin which makes it hard to kill. We both stood close to each other so we can fight them together. These are Earth Lizards and are good in defence.
The leather armor I am wearing is made from it's skin, so I will have to be extra careful while fighting them as I could get injured if I'm careless.
I activated the Air Armor while Dawn stood with confidence. These lizards are not fast like the snake or the rabbit which gave us enough time to prepare ourself.
Dawn equipped herself with a shield and blocked 2 lizards. I gripped my sword with both hands and slashed at the 3rd lizard diagonally.
The lizard stopped and did a tail sweep at my legs. I tried to dodge it by jumping, but it is difficult to move in the swamp and I barely dodged it's attack even with the extra speed granted by my Air Armor.
I reduced the distance while jumping and slashed at it while I landed near it. It moved it's head a little evading my attack to it's head, but it couldn't and received a deep wound.
It is not too deep, but deep enough to make it's move sluggish. It got angry because of the injury and opened it's maw to bite my leg which I moved in time to evade.
At the same time I stabbed it's head with my red blade which went deeper killing it instantly. I looked at Dawn who is still fighting the lizards.
She barely has time to dodge and block their attacks in the swamp, but she is doing her best to not get injured. Even in this swamp, I could see her moves were smooth and effective.
I climbed a tree nearby and waited for a chance to attack which I got within a minute. One of the lizards were getting desperate for some reason and got more aggressive and sweeped it's tail at Dawn's waist.
I jumped from the tree straight on lizard's head stabbing it's brain killing it instantly. Dawn killed the last lizard within a minute. We stored the lizards in our storages in the hunter watch and started moving from that place.
After a few minutes, we heard a battle sound which was different from the battles we have heard till now. Dawn immediately started walking towards the sound with great interest on her face
I followed her without any word wanting to know what piqued her. This is the 1st time I see her showing such interest on her face from the time we entered the swamp and wanted to know why.
Within a minute we reached the battle and I was surprised to see 2 groups of humans were fighting each other.
By the looks of it, each of the group is from a company present in Havet and it doesn't look like they are fighting to kill each other, but the battle is intense.
One group is from the company Faema and the other is from the company onisa. It is a 3 vs 3 battle, the kids of my age are fighting and rest of them are watching the battle from a distance.
The sound of the battle is so loud which is attracting the monsters and humans alike. Now I know why Dawn showed interest in this battle when not on other battles we heard from the moment we entered the battles.
The humans fighting the battle are using skills. The skills that will Drain their energy with 2 or 3 uses.
