Starting with the goblin extermination

The soil cracked open, and Logan's figure shot up.

Long, crimson hair flashed by in the forest.

This is the only professional combat skill that [Red King] was given to him after taking office—[Wild Hunt].

Despite its simple name, its effects are extremely powerful:

......

Wild Hunt

Category: Combat Skills

effect:

"2/2, recharge every six hours"

- "Predator's Intimidation": Removes all negative status effects from the caster. Simultaneously forces nearby hostile targets to make a dual saving throw (Constitution/Will). Those who fail the save will fall into a state of "Trembling".

- "Berserk": Embrace the madness of the wolf god, gain pain shielding for a certain period of time, increase strength, and improve physical flexibility.

......

The shadow leopard's trembling limbs quickly regained their stability.

However, its reaction was still forced to pause for a moment by the oppressive force.

This is enough.

Its response was a sharp, swift sword strike from ahead.

The Shadow Leopard's pause, the burst of [Wolf Strike], and the significant increase in his body's flexibility allowed Logan to rapidly close the distance while simultaneously unleashing his [Thrust], which he had mastered to an unbelievable angle.

puff-

A silver glint flashed like a shooting star.

The black and white figures twisted their bodies in mid-air in an incredible manner.

With an agility of 7 and the powerful [Wolf Strike] combat skill, it's no exaggeration to say that Logan can already keep up with the speed of ordinary level 1 monsters and even pierce through them in combat.

Moreover, there's the fear effect of the [Wild Hunt].

However, for the extremely fast Shadow Leopard, it only left a bowl-sized wound on its forelimb shoulder blade.

At first glance, it doesn't seem fatal.

The shadow leopard was still able to continue its hunt.

But when it lowered its body again...

puff.

The wound burst open.

The shadow leopard let out a low growl in surprise.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, and then the blood clinging to Logan's longsword slowly disappeared.

A surge of heat coursed through Logan's body.

Logan's shoulder wound gradually closed up.

This special effect naturally stems from the expertise he acquired after taking the job—

"Bloodshed"

Category: Specialty

effect:

1. Increases damage dealt to injured enemies.

2. When an attack hits a wounded enemy, it absorbs their life force.

3. After each injury, increase your resistance to abnormal conditions and your reaction speed.

Introduction:

When he had drunk his fill of blood, he forgot what death was, and only knew what hunger was.

They get stronger with each battle.

That was the first thought that popped into Logan's head after he acquired this skill.

When facing an enemy that is extremely fast and constantly inflicts damage, like the Shadow Leopard in front of you, you only need to keep enduring the blows to make your reaction speed faster and faster.

With the enhanced dynamic vision from "Hunter's Instinct," as long as he can seize opportunities to continuously inflict damage, the life-draining effect will allow him to persevere to the very end.

Ultimately, the prey will become the hunter.

Just like it is now.

But a beast is a beast; it hasn't grasped the situation yet.

Despite the excruciating pain, the shadow leopard flailed wildly, tearing the air apart.

His strong muscles throbbed violently.

The pain made it even more ferocious, and the distance between them was instantly closed once again.

The sharp claws reappeared before Logan's eyes.

laugh--

The iron ring on his chest was flattened by a slap, and a large piece of metal was scraped off with a hissing sound.

Immediately afterwards, three gaping, bloody gashes appeared on his chest.

But Logan remained expressionless.

In battle, it's impossible for a person to perform at their best with every strike. Pain undoubtedly weakens a person's fighting ability and affects their condition.

Therefore, experienced adventurers always carry healing potions, not only to save their lives, but also to relieve pain.

But Logan doesn't need that.

He only needs to seize this one opportunity.

As blood flowed out, it appeared in his eyes.

The Shadow Leopard's withdrawal speed slowed down.

He pushes forward with his left limb... tilts his head to the right, and then leaps into the bushes, waiting for another opportunity to strike.

But the longsword was already prepared.

Logan suddenly exerted force in his waist, his muscles tensed sharply, and a violent power burst forth.

Immediately afterwards, the silvery-white sword light grew larger and larger in the shadow leopard's pupils.

puff!

Until the tip of the sword pierces through the back of the neck.

The massive body stiffened instantly.

Brain matter slowly flowed from his eye sockets along with fresh blood, dripping onto the ground, splashing foam, and knocking over the grass nearby.

The killing intent gradually dissipated with the death of the enemy.

The blood from Logan's chest stopped flowing.

......

On the other side of the battlefield.

Ellis clenched her fists tightly, her tall and muscular body trembling slightly.

His chainmail was already covered in wounds.

There were specks of blood on the muddy ground.

With the help of her protective abilities and combat skills, she withstood countless attacks from the Shadow Leopard. But during all this time, she couldn't even land a single punch on the damned beast in front of her.

Speed ​​is her weakness, and she has always been well aware of that.

What's more, the creature they were facing was the Shadow Leopard, a level one monster known for its speed.

"grass!"

Sylvie, behind him, raised her longbow high once more, her right hand blurring into a blur.

[Rapid Fire]

Three feathered arrows, glowing with a faint green light, darted through the air.

swish swish

One of the arrows grazed the flesh of its hind leg, but that was all.

Sylvie gritted his teeth and nocked another arrow, but failed to inflict any effective damage several times in succession, which greatly angered the half-elf ranger.

The shadow leopard leisurely scratched at the soil with its sharp claws; its speed made the hunt a foregone conclusion.

At least, that's what they think.

The black and white figure, taking advantage of a lull in the attack, leaped up from the ground again, its strong limbs propelling its sharp claws straight forward.

This time, it will tear open Ellis's throat.

Swift as lightning.

But what it was met with was a sharp blade that shot out from the shadows!

A faint blue light clung to the cold metal as it approached violently!

Backstab

A wanderer never confronts an enemy head-on.

The Shadow Leopard was powerful, and Elsa originally wanted to fight alongside Logan. As for Ellis and the others, in her eyes, they were just irrelevant strangers.

But Logan wouldn't let her get involved.

She worried about him, but she obeyed and trusted him absolutely.

So she changed the battlefield.

In the current situation, if Elsa were to directly join the battle, she would only hinder Iris's powerful and unrestrained attacks, preventing her from fully utilizing her advantages.

Concealing their presence, seizing the opportune moment, and striking decisively to defeat the enemy—that is the fighting style of the Wanderer.

Pfft—!

A blue arc of light pierced his spine, unleashing a tremendous impact.

The shadow leopard roared in pain and quickly twisted to the side to escape, but the dagger cut a deep wound, and blood flowed freely.

For Ellis, the opportunity was fleeting.

"Die, you son of a bitch!"

Ellis lunged forward, his right fist clenched, and a red glow coiled around it.

Immediately afterwards, the force of the punch pierced the night sky and tore through the air.

[Intimidating Fist]!

The metallic fist slammed solidly into the Shadow Leopard's head.

boom! ! !

The skull shattered instantly, caved in deeply, and the dim, yellow eyes were squeezed out by the immense force!

The shadow leopard's corpse fell heavily to the ground.

Blood and spilled brain matter clung tightly to Ellis's fist, emitting a pungent odor.

Heavy footsteps sounded again.

She suddenly raised both fists.

But upon seeing who it was, he felt weak all over and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Logan walked toward her, covered in blood, dragging the massive carcass of the Shadow Leopard in his arms.

He really did it.
