*Bam* a shadow was sent flying and hit a tree violently.
Asher looked at his haki covered first and smirked.
"I'm just wasting my time on these weaklings, I need to find a ranked beast," said Asher before walking away, he ignored the goblins that scattered away from fear.
His strength right now is on whole new level than before, goblins are ants and troll are just slightly bigger ants, Asher decided to test his strength on the ranked beasts, which are beasts that have access to energy, a ranked beast is a cultivator counterpart, they evolve by eating energy-rich food, making them stronger, faster, and deadly.
Ranked beast's ranks:
-Stage 1 ranked beast
Apprentice
-Stage 2 ranked beast
Origin-user
-Stage 3 ranked beast
Origin-master
-Stage 4 ranked beast
Origin Grand-master
-Stage 5 Legendary ranked beast
Transcendence
And today Asher was going to hunt one, an iron-clawed bear it's a stage 2 ranked beast.
Asher only spent about half an hour before finding an adult iron clawed bear, it was sleeping, it was huge and had many scars on its body.
*Tik*
Asher throws a pebble, hitting the bear's nose.
The bear suddenly opened its eyes and looked at Asher, before getting up on two feet.
Asher was dwarfed by its size, the bear then slammed its paws on the ground creating a shockwave.
Asher was caught off guard for a moment, but I was all it took for the bear to appear beside Asher.
*Woooosh*
It then swang it giant paw at him, but thanks to his observation haki, Cat cat fruit, and beast-man's enhanced senses, Asher was able to see everything in slow motion, he smiled and ducked, avoiding the deadly blow.
The bear didn't seem surprised, it kept attacking Asher with its razor-sharp claws, knocking out trees from time to time.
'What a smart bear, it must have fought and survived its whole life' praised Asher, nothing seemed to faze the bear.
The bear didn't let Asher even breath, blow after blow intending to wore him out.
'I need to end it now' Asher said,
Asher dodged a blow and used all his strength to deliver a blow to the bear's head from the side.
But the moment the kick was about to connect the bear turned its head and bite down, but to the bear's surprise he didn't feel the soft flesh, but a hard metallic feeling.
"Got you!" said Asher, before stabbing the bear with haki covered finger right between its eyes.
But surprisingly the bear was still alive, it lifted its paw, for a final blow.
*Zzzzzz-z-zzzzt*
Only after frying its brain did it finally stop moving.
Asher then pulled his leg from the bear's mouth, he thankfully activated haki in the right time otherwise his leg would be gone for good.
"HeheheheheHahahahahahaha!" after regaining his breath he started to laughed madly.
"I'm so excited, it doesn't feel right, but... I like it!" his body was trembling, and a smile crept on his face.
*Ding: Host you are being affected with bloodlust*
"System? how am I affected?" asked Asher after calming down.
*Ding/Scan:10%...56%...78%...99%...100%!
Scan complete!:
Host personality is changing, unlike "Killua" who fear his darker side, host accepted his darker side.*
"Is that a bad thing?" asked Asher while raising an eyebrow, as he sat on the bear's carcass.
*Ding: Not necessarily, host will still have emotions, but will not rely on them too much, and host still have the system, system will make sure that host will never lose control*
"Aw! I love you too system, wait I can't keep calling you system right?... what about... Neo!" said Asher,
*Ding: If that what host wish*
"Neo, you can call me Ash from now ok?" said Asher.
*Ding: Yes, Ash*
