'I just hope the major change did not affect me. For now, I did not want to attract any kind of attention. I needed to stay lowkey and gain power.'
Sam thought that. He did not know what kind of major change would happen after he created Bond with the Night Slayer. He just hoped he did not get affected by that.
Because of this, he is also thinking about searching for a normal weapon. Naturally, not all the time he would be able to use Night Slayer.
Even if he did not use any power, Night Slayer still had the ability to attract the attention of many people.
This is the reason he does not plan to use that sword most of the time. Fortunately, inside that forest, not many people were present.
Only some Warriors would be present inside the forest and receive missions from the Warrior Association or any other organization.
Even though, compared to those monsters and other supernatural forces, these mutated animals are not that dangerous, they are still dangerous for ordinary people.
This is the reason the Warrior Association will provide missions regarding this kind of forest inside the safe zone.
There are also missions regarding resource gathering. Many people also accepted those missions and came inside this kind of forest.
Sam did not plan to go that deep inside the forest. He will only stay on the surface area. With this, Sam has a low chance to meet with other people.
Even previously, when he bonds with the Night Slayer, he does not find any people inside that forest.
_________________________
Finally, 1 hour later, Sam arrived in front of the forest. Sam did not go directly inside the forest. Before anything, he needed to equip his armor.
That armor belongs to his parents. Because of this, for now, he did not need any armor or any normal weapon.
Sometime later, after gathering courage, Sam finally entered the forest. Compared to before, this time, he was more scared. Fortunately, he is trying to calm down.
Any kind of decision in this state would be dangerous. Also, he needed to stay calm in front of those mutated animals.
Fortunately, in the surface area, he will only find animals around his level or weaker than him.
Sam was really cautious after coming inside the surface area. He had already noticed some activity around him. Using the observation technique, he already finds out the source of those activities.
Some rabbits are present in that place. Sam did not have a plan to attack those rabbits. These are normal animals without any spiritual energy. Probably around level 1.
With this, Sam begins to go deep inside the forest. He was observing the surrounding area very carefully. He did not want to make any mistakes.
Fortunately, he only meets those level 1 and level 2 animals. Also, those mutated animals did not have a plan to attack him. Instead, they were running away from that place.
After a while,
Sam is currently hiding behind the tree. He had already come deep inside the surface area. In front of him, you can see some rabbits.
Don't think those are normal rabbits. All those rabbits are around level 4 to level 5. As he did not have any analysis technique that could help him to see the level of those monsters, he could only predict that by using his observation technique.
Using the observation technique, he can feel the dangerous aura coming from those animals.
Naturally, this would be the first time he would hunt any animals. He needed to mentally prepare himself.
Sam already brings out Night Slayer, and in the next moment, he uses the shadow movement technique. Sam disappears from his place.
Fortunately, because of those big trees, the shadow is present everywhere. If it was a desert or any place like that, where you would not be able to find any shadow, Sam would not be able to use the shadow movement technique.
By using the shadow movement technique, he approaches those animals. Because he was using the shadow movement, none of those animals were able to find any danger.
You should know that, compared to normal humans, any of those animals have powerful instincts. But this time they were not able to feel anything.
Sam appeared behind one of those animals. He swung his sword using his full power. He did not use spiritual energy.
But even with that, you should not understand the power behind that attack. The animal in front did not even get the time to react and escape from that place.
In the next second, his sword cut that rabbit into two pieces. But Sam did not stop there. Immediately, he attacked the next rabbit.

'Sigh… Fortunately, I was able to overcome my physiological burden. I am in a very dangerous place, and without power, I would not be able to survive.
If I am unable to kill a simple mutated animal, then I should not try to become a warrior.'
After killing all five of those mutated rabbits, Sam began to vomit. This would be the first time he was killed. This instantly puts a mental burden. Fortunately, sometime later he was able to overcome that.
Sam knows that if he becomes weak and does not dare to kill, then he should not follow the path of the warrior. To become a warrior, or you should say to become powerful, he needed to kill monsters and other supernatural forces.
After overcoming his mental burden, Sam once again decides to search for more mutated animals. Fortunately, after killing those rabbits, he created some distance from that place.
As expected, sometime later, he can see some other animals present around that place. These are wild hyaenas. It looks like they got attracted to that place because of the blood.
Fortunately, all those hyenas are in his observation range. Because of this, he can predict the power level of those mutated hyaenas.
Compared to those mutated rabbits, those hyenas are powerful. Definitely, they would be around level 5 to level 6.
Once again, Sam mentally prepared himself and already activated the shadow movement technique.
