"What is the powder that the teacher poured?" Alvin asked, curious.
"It is the stool of a level 25 cloud monster. So that, lower-level cloud monster didn't dare to approach us." Elias said.
"Stool?" Alvin's lips twitched a bit.
"Ya, I purposely bought it yesterday," Elias said.
Hearing that, Alvin gave Elias a short nod. Normal cloud holders wouldn't bring this along. However, Alvin found out Mr Elias still bought it, probably for safety reasons.
"Let's go. We are almost there." After getting enough rest, Elias said as he headed in a direction.
The tall and thick trees blocked some of the sunlight, giving Elias and Alvin a cool environment. After encountering and avoiding numerous cloud monsters, they reached an open space.
"Here it is," Elias said as he squatted down, looking for something in his bag.
Hearing that, Alvin glanced around. There were some tall trees and bushes at a distance. However, he didn't see any cloud monster here.
While Alvin was looking around, Elias approached Alvin and handed him a bottle and a dagger. "Take this." Then, Elias ran away. He didn't want to stay in such a dangerous position.
"What is this?" Alvin froze for a moment and asked. Of course, he recognized the dagger, but he didn't know what was inside the bottle.
"Smells special". Alvin was observing the bottle. The bottle was open, containing a red color liquid. A sweet smell flowed out from it.
"Alvin, be careful and be ready. The bottle contains the blood of Thundebit, which will attract the natural enemy of it, Thuninion."Elias exclaimed from a distance.
"Oh ya, I put some poison on the dagger, be careful when you use it. Good luck." Elias added
Hearing that, Alvin's eyes widened with a little shock. Yet, Alvin didn't panic, he had prepared himself mentally. He took a deep breath, ready for the fight. The knowledge about Thuninion came to his mind.
In the carriage, Elias told him that Thuninion was a thunder-winged lion. Thuninion has two spells, one is a thunder blast, another is a wind blade.
During the conversation in the carriage, Alvin learned that he should aim for a level 10 to level 12 cloud monster for his first spell.
Anything lower was not worth it. Anything higher might result in an energy boost in his body that could kill him.
Holding the dagger, Alvin was glancing around with a sharp gaze. Although he wasn't familiar with using a dagger, he held it tight. After all, it was still better than nothing.
*Roarrr
A roar pierced through the silent sky. Upon hearing this, Alvin raised his head and looked at the sky. A Thuninion was flying in the sky. As expected, Thuninion had a lion head with a purple color wing.
"Is a level 12" Elias squinted his eyes and said.
Luck was on Alvin's side. He encountered a Thuninion that was at a suitable level, level 12. Level 12 was the highest level one could absorb as the first cloud spell.
Instantly, Alvin got into his fighting mode. Alvin's face turned solemn. He squinted his eyes and held the dagger in front of him.
The next second, Thuninion flipped its wind. Two wind blades were shot out at Alvin from different angles. This was one of its cloud spells. A wind element blade that was vibrating at a high frequency that could pierce through anything.
Fortunately, the Thuninion was far away. Estimating the trajectory, Alvin managed to dodge the wind blades.
*boommmm
The wind blades hit the ground, creating two big cracks. Seeing that, Alvin grinned.
Alvin quickly made a plan in his mind. He raised the bottles. Then, he waved the bottle at the Thuninion as if showing off. He wanted to bait the Thuninion so that he got a chance to kill it at a close distance.
After noticing Alvin's action, with a roar, a purple wing stretched through the air, heading toward Alvin, its mouth aiming at Alvin.
Of course, Alvin wouldn't be able to block this attack. The Thuninion had a big body size. So, Alvin instantly tilted his body and darted to his left side. As soon as the Thuninion almost bite him, Alvin managed to dodge it.
Alvin didn't run far away. After dodging the attack, Alvin turned his body and stabbed the dagger toward Thuninion.
*ding
With its element in wind and thunder, Thuninion was quick at the same time, strong. Thuninion raised his paw and blocked the dagger. Thuninion's force was so large that the dagger flew to the other side.
While Alvin was fighting, Elias was leaning against a tree, looking at the fight with a sharp eye..
As he lost his weapon, Alvin quickly darted away from the Thuninion . At the same time, he was analysing the situation. He had few choices. First, he could use his magic circle, but that will expose his own secret.
Second, he could use his object manipulation skill to control the dagger and kill the Thuninion. Yet, that also came with the downside of exposing himself.
After musing for a while, he made his decision in a second.
A second was enough for the Thuninion to make its second attack. It flipped its wing and jumped toward Alvin, extending its paw. It wanted to take Alvin down.
Alvin took a deep breathe and slid down through the underneath of the Thuninion. After a few roll, Alvin grabbed the dagger on the floor.
At this moment, the Thuninion was in between Alvin and Elias. It was the best time for him to use his skill as the Thuninion would block Elias's view.
Having this great opportunity, Alvin was quick in his reaction. "Body strengthening leg. Body strengthening hand." Alvin mumbled as he focused his cloud energy on his hand and leg. His speed and strength increased by 50 percent.
Without giving the Thuninion a choice of turning back, Alvin slid back to the underneath of the Thuninion and stabbed its stomach with the dagger.
* roarrrrrrr
Thuninion was bleeding and roaring like crazy. Stomach was its weakest spot . Thuninion tried to fly away, but the poison on the dagger put it in big trouble. He couldn't flip its wing.
Seeing his attack work, Alvin continued to stab a few more times. His face and hand were full of blood. Yet, his expression remained serious. He knew that if he didn't kill it, he might be the one who got killed.
After stabbing a few times, Alvin didn't stop his attack. He slid through and reached the neck position of the Thuninion. With a stab, the Thuninion lost all its energy and fell on the ground.
Alvin gazed at the Thuninion, breathing and sweating heavily. He had been using all his ability to win this fight. Finally, he won. He felt relief and proud of himself.
