Chapitre 14: Ruthless
Blood stained his waist, with his muscles mashed up. The purple cat died, but hurt him enough to not let him survive more than a day.
Luckily with every level up, he gained a full body recovery. Just now when the cat died, he gained instant level up notification.
His body healed, his skin and organs felt fresh and new. If not for the blood on his body and tattered clothes, he would look as if he was not the one fighting to death.
He did not sit there waiting to be attacked by any other beasts. He rushed to the plateau, the demon kangaroo had left a while ago.
It was safe for him to rest in plateau because no beast dared to go there.
He did not go very deep, he only reached outskirts of the plateau when he started regretting his hurried decision.
He was exhausted and did not give a thought that there could be more than one demon kangaroo in the plateau.
Standing a hundred meters ahead of him was the possibility he did not even consider.
A black demonic kangaroo with red eyes and wings of one meter length each. If the beast he saw fly off of the plateau before was a normal adult then the beast in front of him was an adult who fought for years.
When comparing the beasts of same species, there are things like body part, color and size of the beasts which shows who is the stronger one.
In case of beasts who can fly, the wings of beast represent their strength. The wings of this kangaroo was dark black and gave a metallic shine.
The color and material of the wings were same as the fist and claws of the kangaroo.
Roan not at all felt frustrated or feared the beast. He knew it was not his fault, even if it was he would blame his terrible luck.
He just survived a close to death fight he did not even wanted to be in and now another over powered beast, who seems to be boss of the area approaches him.
He knew he did not have time. He did not check his level status either. He could not breakthrough now and waste all his effort to save stats.
He not at all felt like hunter. He felt like a woman stuck in city of villains being assaulted by person from person.
He hardly escaped from one and another was ready to not let him have peace.
He summoned his green lens. The kangaroo was still hundred meters away from him. It started walking to him slowly.
The kangaroo acted as if it was taking a walk in its garden and found a bug stuck to one of its plants.
He walked slowly admiring the guts of bug to approach his garden unafraid of death. Neither did it look amused nor angry.
The kangaroo was taking normal steps which seemed very noble and majestic but it still walked fifty meters in ten seconds.
It felt as if the wing of kangaroo helped it float in air when walking and made the distance covered when walking double.
Another ten second passed, the kangaroo was a foot away from Roan. It lifted its right hand and aimed to crush his head into pieces.
The power compressed in the metallic fist of kangaroo was enough to break six inch concrete into fine dust.
Roan used his illusion lens the moment the kangaroo lifted its fist. He looked in the eye of demonic kangaroo while supplying his fist with energy.
The kangaroo stopped for a second when it looked into the green eyes of its opponent.
A fist slammed into the beast's head. The kangaroo could not even touch Roan's clothes before it's head was smashed by the hand.
The delay of one second in the middle of combat crushed the head of beast.
Roan's fist was not weak, he could punch a two inch hole in concrete with only normal reinforce.
But this time he used half of his total energy reserves. He used 4 stat of his energy to reinforce his leg and kick the lightning cat. The cat was covered with lightning and had very strong defense.
The cat with very strong defense could only take one kick and died within ten seconds.
This time Roan used half of his energy stats which was total 9 energy stat. His hand could not control this much energy.
Even his leg would have been damaged when using 9 energy stats in one hit.
His muscles screamed in pain. It felt as something was tearing it from inside. His bones had cracks, even his skin teared and bled.
The majestic looking kangaroo's head was burst into pieces. Nothing of its head remained on its body. Even the neck of the kangaroo was almost obliterated.
The kangaroo like beast did not even have time to defend itself. It came, lifted it's hands to throw a punch and died.
He did not have time to check the notifications from killing the lightning cat and he now had another bunch of notifications.
He checked his status menu

He had 14 stats points left to distribute and two intermediate tier crystal to absorb.
"Exp point needed to level up is now 6000. It seems the pattern of increase has changed. It might have become +1000 exp points per level up" he hypothesized
"I have two beast crystals left but it won't be helping me to level up anyway." He did not bother to refine the recently obtained beast crystals.
It was stored in the system anyway. He was not getting any immediate benefits, and thought it would be better to save it.
He did not hide anymore. Earlier he did not use the beast armament because he was growing in combats. He wanted to increase his combat level with the help of beast.
The green lens was like a bug in fights. Any beasts in intermediate tier would feel confused and would be rendered defenseless.
Let alone fighting, it would have to be very strong to just not kill itself under the illusion. The lens did not completely control intermediate tier beasts.
But in combat when the opponent is under pressure and hurt, the effect of lens would be multiplied.
Now Roan was walking freely in the plateau. He was fed up of being constantly put into fights. If any beast shows up he would ruthlessly kill it.
He roamed around the plateau. The plateau was not very populated compared to the forest.
"I think only the demonic kangaroos have it under their control. They seem to be the strongest beast here. No other beast rushes in here" he enjoyed the peace there.
Sun was already going down. It would not take any more than three hours for sun to completely set.
He wanted to level up to at least level 10. But now it was only the evening of second day and he reached level 6.
He did not know exact amount of exp required after each level up but he assumed that it will only increase by thousand.
The problem was that he felt that after level ten, things would change a lot. It was not an information given through his system.
He felt it from his bloodline. His bloodline felt as if it is half complete and will be strengthened around level ten.
He could vaguely feel that the changes brought upon by his bloodline upgrade would be huge.
That was why he wanted to reach level ten much faster. He hoped to roam in the plateau to find a beast and kill it.
But it seemed as no other beast lived in the plateau. Or they were hiding somewhere after seeing him kill the kangaroo with single punch.
He was already level six, he probably only needed to kill four more intermediate tier beasts to reach level ten.
He already had the kangaroo he saw fly off in his mind, he only needed three more.
He wanted to wait for the kangaroo to come back and kill it but there was not more than three hours left before dusk.
He wanted to find at least one beast in this three hour and then kill the kangaroo too.
He thought of searching the forest but an idea came to his mind. He did not plan to search for beast anymore.
He took the body of kangaroo and dragged it close to the forest. He did not enter the forest but it was enough for the beasts in forest to take a peek.
He took out the knife and cut the meat off of beast elegantly. He only ate last night and had three terrible fights with beasts.
His body had recovered because of level up but he still felt hungry. He burnt a fire from the firewood collected off from trees.
He did not have any utensils so he used leaf from trees to wrap up the sliced meat and roasted it in fire.
The meat smelled excellent. He did not want to wait for any beast to be lured in. He first wanted to have his fill.
He put his urge to eat the meat down and focused on sensing the nearby area. There were some trees moving and leaves rustling.
But the beasts were all cautious, they did not want to go first and test the water. They had more patient than him.
He waited and waited for more than ten minutes but still no one showed up. He could not wait any longer.
He used his knife to pick up the roasted meat to taste it. He put the knife close to his mouth but a beast flew close to him and he had to avoid it.
The beast was a blue bird with black claws. It was two foot in size but its wings were a meter wide each.
When the beast flew by close to him, it not only prevented him from consuming the meat but also cut his cheek a little.
Blood dripped down from his cheek but he only felt it when the liquid touched his hands. He frowned" I did not even know when I was cut."
It was very sharp and clean that only after bleeding did he know the beast attacked him.
He was in middle of processing his thoughts when the blue bird beast flew close again.
He distanced the meat away from his head. He did not want to suddenly find out that his head had been sliced off.
The beast not at all attempted to target his head but only targeted his hand with meat in it.
He reinforced his hand within a normal range. The bird did not try to catch meat and escape. It wanted to cut his hand off and take the meat.
He reinforced his hand to his biceps. He did not know where the bird might exactly attack him. The bird came back and rushed off again.
His hand tickled and moved a little because of attack from the blue bird. His hand was still scratched. No blood dripped from it but a scratch was present.
He did not dare to underestimate the bird. He put more energy into his reinforce and covered his hand with violent energy.
In one hand he was holding meat and with other hand he was holding his knife. He did not attack earlier because he wanted to test his defense.
Now that he knew that he needed full efficiency to just defend himself, he wanted to attack and kill the beast quickly.
He did not have energy more than 18 points and beasts in forest would not wait for him to recover.
He wanted to use his green lens to kill the bird quickly. But the bird's speed was very fast. It was hard to look into its eyes and use illusion.
