บท 18: Chapter 18 - Hunting - Silent Water Forest - Scorpion Deer
As Skalain ventured deeper into the Silent Water Forest, the atmosphere grew dense, and the sounds of nature enveloped him.
Suddenly, a rustling sound reached his ears, drawing his attention to a clearing up ahead. As he cautiously approached, his gaze fixed on the peculiar creature that emerged from the dense undergrowth. It resembled a deer in size and shape, adorned with elegant antlers that pierced the air. However, its distinguishing feature was the menacing scorpion tail that arched menacingly over its back.
Skalain's heart quickened with excitement and anticipation.
"That is the kind of creature I was looking for to hunt."

Skalain smiled as his eyes changed from a calm state to a predatory state.
The skeletons showed themselves from the bushes, their bones rattling with a dark magical energy. As Skalain issued a command, his voice was laced with authority. "Attack!"
The first skeleton lunged forward, its bony fingers outstretched to grasp the creature. But the agile scorpion-deer swiftly retaliated, lashing out with its deadly tail.
A sickening crunch filled the air as the tail connected with the skeleton, shattering it into a shower of bone fragments.
"Oh, Scorpion Deer is stronger than I thought. It seems like Level Two Magical Creatures are no joke."
Undeterred, the remaining two skeletons closed in on the creature, their movements coordinated and precise.
One skeleton engaged the scorpion-deer head-on, its bony fists striking with relentless force. The other circled around, seeking a strategic advantage.
Skalain observed the battle. Trying to understand everything he can understand.
The scorpion-deer thrashed and bucked, its tail lashing out in an attempt to fend off the persistent skeletons. But the undead minions were relentless.
As the skirmish intensified, Skalain could see the scorpion-deer weakening, its movements growing sluggish. It became evident that the relentless assault of the skeletons was taking its toll on the creature.
"In the end, the Skeleton Sentinels that I summon are different than ordinary skeletons. They are created purely from my magic and from the system."
"They are not getting weaker; they are not afraid, and they do not get tired. Compared to a living creature, these advantages can be seen easily."
With a final surge of strength, the remaining skeletons coordinated their attacks, overwhelming the scorpion-deer with a flurry of blows.
In a climactic moment, the creature succumbed to its injuries, collapsing to the forest floor.
"After those attacks from the skeletons, who have no concept of fear or pain, the living body of yours was not capable of handling it."
Skalain knelt beside the fallen scorpion-deer, extracting the precious bones he needed for his skeleton ring.
"I needed three bones from magical creatures. I believe I need one bone part from a different creature."
"So, with this, I have collected one bone part I needed."
"I will collect some of the other bone parts for later use and sell all the other things."
As he carefully collected them, Skalain smiled as he nodded.
"My first official hunt with purpose is done."
With his objective achieved, Skalain turned his attention to the surroundings, taking in the serene beauty of the Silent Water Forest.
"Killing is different. I feel good and neutral that I have taken a life."
Skalain stopped for a second and checked his status.
