Capítulo 8: Fighting the Monsters [End]
My gun was perfectly aimed at the horned crocodile's eyes as it stared intimidatingly at me. Without further ado, I immediately opened fire at it with magical bullets that are condensed in fire magic.
It instantly melted some of its thick scales as it struck its neck, which the crocodile somehow evaded, avoiding getting hit directly in the face.
It roared loudly, echoing throughout the island while causing a slight tremor on the ground. But in spite of its roar, I continued firing without giving it a chance to move towards me.
The crocodile was continuously hit by the magical bullets that I shot, and it began to duck, covering its head with its body. The spikes on its back began emitting smoke and suddenly blasted off from its back like a homing missile, rushing towards me.
I immediately dodged the first one, but as soon as I raised my head, there were over thirty spikes coming my way, forcing me to run and evade them all the way.
The horned crocodile that got its chance immediately rushed towards me as I kept on dodging the spikes that were somehow aimed perfectly at me. It was as if the spikes were chasing me.
I jumped sideways and further ran through the trees, making them a shield from those spikes that followed me. And as soon as I reached the end of the pathway, a large fist was already on its way to greet me, and with my enhanced reflex, I managed to block it with both of my hands as I crossed it in front of me.
But of course, the impact was still too strong, and I was yet again blown away.
I continuously rolled, and the moment I regained my balance and raised my head, the horned crocodile was already in front of me and was about to strike me again with its large fist.
As soon as its fist got closer, I rolled sideward and dodged its attack, but the horned crocodile that punched the ground instantly recovered and slapped its hand towards me, leaving me unable to react in time.
*Wham!*
Once again, I was sent flying. But thanks to my passive skill, the pain was still nullified. Leaving me with three more strikes before it deactivates.
I regained my balance quicker and began aiming my gun at the rushing horned crocodile. After firing countless magical bullets condensed in fire magic, the horned crocodile's body began melting as if it were being smelted.
After it noticed the damage to its body, the horned crocodile ran sideways, evading the magical bullets I'd shot.
"So you think you can dodge?" I mumbled, rapidly firing at it as it tried to dodge the bullets.
But thanks to its slow movement, I was able to advance my shots and strike it. With my enhanced eyesight versus its turtle-like movements, It was futile for the horned crocodile to dodge my bullets.
After firing rapidly and using over six rounds of magical bullet ammunition. The horned crocodile was eliminated.
[Notice: The Horned Crocodile has been successfully eliminated.]

"My level increased by four; the experience points being earned are getting lower compared to the first heavenly monster I've defeated." I uttered, wiping off the sweat on my forehead.
"Status."

Looking at my status, I noticed my mana energy has somehow been refilled.
"So when I level up, my mana energy would instantly get refilled? Pretty nice." I said, smiling as I stared at my status, which enlightened me to see that I've been making a lot of progress.
Silence occurred, and I remembered that I was totally naked.
"Shit!"
I started running and went back to take a dip in the pond. Slowly washing off the worn-out clothes I left that got stepped on by the huge horned crocodile.
"I wish I could get some nice clothes. I don't want to wear this anymore." I complained, showing immense dissatisfaction on my face while washing the old clothes I've worn.
[Notice: The store has been unlocked.]
"Eh?"
[You can now purchase in the store using your Mana Energy.]
"What? So my mana energy can also act as money?"
[Would you like to open the store?]
"Hey answer me!"
[Yes / No?]
Silence occurred, and I was pretty annoyed by the fact that the system kept ignoring me. I somehow feel that it can communicate with me, but it just doesn't want to.
"Fuck it. Yes! Open the store!" I yelled, hoping to let the system know that I was angry.
A large holographic tabloid appeared in front of me. It was two times larger than the status tabloid.
At the top, it had three layers to choose from: on the left side, a weapon icon; in the middle, a shirt icon; and lastly, on the right side, a sphere-like icon that I don't recognize. But the fact that it had descriptions below it made me understand what it was.
While the middle was empty and at the bottom it had my Mana Energy's capacity acting as money.

After staring at it for more than thirty seconds, I started to tap the [Armor Shop] and look for some useful clothes to wear.
The holographic tabloid's content began changing. It felt like I was in a game shop.
[Scroll down and Tap to check the descriptions.]
There were a lot of things to choose from, but they were all pricey.

There were more armors to choose from, but the Gorment's Armor piqued my interest. Seeing as it has no cooldown written, It can somehow activate continuously, completely buffing me all the time as I wear it.
It was already a full package when I bought it. An armor and pants were somehow summoned in front of me. And so, I grabbed it and wore it immediately.

It had the appearance of an auburn-like steel, custom-made small plate armor that slightly covered the vital parts of my entire body. It also had some weird linings engraved on it, but it didn't matter as long as I got the buffs I wanted.

[Bonus Buff: + 10% Damage Absorption]
Seeing that the Gorment's buffs were added, I felt relieved.
"Now that I've got a new set of armor, I should continue my journey."
Or so I thought.
After traveling for two days and reaching the eighth Island, I was confronted by the being I had never wanted to meet.
It stood beyond me like a guardian deity with its wings wide open.
Its scales were as dark as the night sky, and it had ferocious, glimmering blue eyes gazing at me.
It was none other than the black-scaled dragon, Teranium.
My body froze completely; even though I leveled up a lot, I knew I was still outmatched. Even if I were to continuously shoot over a dozen rounds of Magical bullets, none of them would even scratch this almighty dragon that stood before me.
Sweat profusely dripped from my forehead as I trembled in front of Teranium. Above him were flying wyverns that covered the sky.
My mind stopped working, as I was completely astonished just by looking at them.
"Hey, you." Teranium uttered, emitting an ominous aura that pressured me.
Without being able to respond, I gulped while looking down on the ground.
"How is a human here? Explain yourself!" Teranium intimidatingly said and roared ferociously, which reverberated throughout the entire island.
My body stiffened at Teranium's mere roar, forcing me to get on my knees as I tried to endure the pressurizing aura he had emitted.
And as soon as I raised my head, I saw Teranium's glowing blue eyes looking directly at me.
