Chapter 27
Grey and Randin had been on their way to go annihilate the whole goblin race when they suddenly encountered a huge dog like beast that stood in the forest looking at Grey.
Seeing the beast, Grey worriedly activated his appraisal skill to take a look at it. Then he saw that the beast was just a level 2 beast on the cusp of going to level 3.
'Well, since it's nothing to worry about, let's just kill it and gain the free…' He stuttered as the beast suddenly disappeared from his view.
"What the!?!!!" Grey said as the beast that stood at least 4 feet away from his was suddenly in front of him and it thrust its horn forward at Grey.
Seeing the horn, Grey quickly used the 'Aerius' spell to move him away just in time before the horn lunged into his body.
"How did it manage to get in front of me so quick?" Grey asked as he wiped the small sweat that formed on his forehead.
That was when Randin came forward and stood beside Grey with his sword held out looking at the beast carefully.
"These type of beasts are known as Jaguars, they are a very fast species. Even though some of them are low levels, they are known for their fast nature." Randin explained.
"Well, now I'm glad we didn't encounter any higher level." Grey heaved a sigh of relief when the beast suddenly moved again.
And in the blink of an eye, it was suddenly in front of Randin and was about to stab him with its horn when a shield suddenly appeared in front of him blocking it.
And before Randin could attack back, the beast suddenly disappeared from his view and headed towards Grey and tried to strike him with its paws.
Swiftly, Grey pulled his sword out and clashed with the paw then he pushed the beast away. When it was pushed, instead of falling to the ground, it had used the sword as a foothill and jumped back.
Landing smoothly on the ground then it bared its fangs at the humans in front of it in anger.
"Darn! This beast is fast alright." Grey mumbled as he tightened his grip on the sword again and looked at the beast.
"Why aren't you using your powers?" Randin asked.
"Because I want to improve my swordmanship." Grey replied and then the beast darted towards them both.
And in a blink of an eye, it was suddenly in front of them as it wacked Grey away using its tail.
'How is its tail so strong?' Grey thought as he crashed into the trees breaking it totally while being flung back.
After wacking Grey away, the beast finally turned towards Randin as it made a stab with its horn towards him but Randin had quickly blocked with his shield.
And he swiftly made a stab towards the beast's head but it had moved already as it got behind Randin and it swiped at his back with its paws putting a scratch on his armour while pushing him forward a bit.
Turning around while performing a swipe with his sword, Randin hit nothing but air and then he felt a sting in his leg as the Jaguar's horn pierced into his leg drawing blood.
Running back again to put space between them, the beast was seen coming at Randin at top speed as it swung its tail towards him while he raised his sword.
But the tail didn't connect with him as a wall appeared in front of him allowing the Jaguar's tail to crash into the wall cracking it slightly.
Knowing who the wall would belong to, Randin looked around and could see Grey coming forward with a slight trickle of blood running down his mouth.
"I don't know what is it with you guys and trying to injure me." Grey said with his hands held out.
Then noticing the beast's legs was twitching, Grey quickly realized what was about to happen.
"No, I won't let you run away like that again." Grey said as he quickly closed his hands.
"Earth trap!" He said and the walls that stood in front of Randin shattered and quickly formed around the beast's legs keeping it in place and unable to move.
The beast struggled to move but it was unable to as it tried and tried moving its legs but it wasn't bulging the slightest.
And seeing that it couldn't move, it just snarled at the human who caused its movements to be restricted.
Grey calmly walked over with a smile on his face.
"You see, Earth trap is a new spell I picked up from the book which allowed me to trap any beast weaker than me with ease using Earth. And since I knew you were just a level 2 beast, I knew it could hold you just fine.
If you were a level 3 or more, then it wouldn't have worked and we would be screwed cause of your speed." Grey said as the beast continued snarling loudly.
"Oh for frick sake, would you just keep quiet!" Grey shouted as he moved his hands and a bit of earth formed around the beast's mouth.
But it just snapped its jaws totally breaking the rocks that were heading for its face.
"Oh, you still have much power." Grey said.
"Will you just end this quickly and let us get a move on?" Randin said.
"Fine." Grey said as his hand lit up and then he pointed it out shaping his hand like a rifle or something.
And then, he mumbled a word.
"Fire bullet!" Immediately, a thin fire shot out of his hand towards the beast's head.
But then, Grey heard a sizzling sound coming from behind him. And turning his head around just in time, he was able to avoid what seemed to be like a lazer beam heading for his head earlier.
Because of his timely movement, the lazer beam just grazed his hair therefore cutting it a little and then it crashed into the beast's eyes therefore killing it in one shot.
