BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22 Changes
One year later.
Inside a forest that had high terrain.
One could see a pair made up of a boy and a girl walking. The boy looked like he was five years old and had a brave stature. The girl, on the other hand, appeared to be four years old, with back-length pink hair fluttering in the wind.
These two were Max and Ravenna. They had grown a few inches taller this past year.
"Max, it is in that direction." Ravenna pointed her finger straight ahead, where the ground started to rise.
"Let's go." Max squinted his eyes and walked forward.
Currently, they were heading toward a cave that Ravenna had found. In this forest, finding a cave wasn't difficult, but Ravenna discovered something in that cave that piqued Max's interest.
The object was none other than a demon egg!
Max had great interest in such things. He wanted to see if the same thing would happen with this egg as happened earlier with Ravenna.
RAWR!
Suddenly, Max and Ravenna halted in their steps as they heard a loud roar, which Max could guess might be coming from a tiger. And the second, Gale found his guess was correct.
Nine light green colored tigers came out of the bushes, surrounding Max and Ravenna.
They saw the tigers had green stripes and fur that floated in the air for some reason, making them look mystical.
"Max, these are Forest Gale Tiger." Ravenna came closer to Max and spoke softly.
Max nodded his head and looked at his surroundings to see how strong these Forest Gale Tigers were.
'Hmm, most of them are in the 3rd and 4th Stage Apprentice Realm.' Max didn't need the system to tell him what beasts or humans were in the magic realm. He could use his mana to identify his opponent's magic realm.
Max didn't tell Ravenna about these tigers' magic realm, as she could also identify them. He just calmly said to her as he brought his katana out. "Follow me."
As soon as Black Sun appeared in Max's right hand, he dashed toward the nearest tiger, with Ravenna following close behind him.
The Forest Gale Tiger's swiped their claws from which wind blades show out, racing toward Max and Ravenna's direction.
The Forest Gale Tiger standing in front of Max also clawed at them. However, Max didn't give this one a chance to do so.
Max shot out a purple fireball that destroyed the Forest Gale Tiger's attack.
Boom
It stumbled back because of the recoil of its attack failing. Max took advantage of the opportunity and approached it. That Forest Gale Tiger was about to make its move to bite Max, but it ended up in a failure.
Ching
Max slashed his katana at its neck, making a clean cut and having it leave this world without any pain.
However, Max didn't have the time to rejoice as the dozens of wind blades shot by the dead tiger's companions were heading in their direction.
Max turned around and swung his katana vertically, which was infused with purple thunder.
BOOM
Fortunately, Ravenna had come behind Max in time; if not, she would have been caught by that explosion.
The Forest Gale Tigers that were on the left and right of the one Max just killed rushed into the smoke, as they were still able to sense the demons were still alive.
Shwosh! Shwosh!
Suddenly, something shot out of the smoke and directly hit the Forest Gale Tigers on both sides by surprise.
Puchi(2)
An arrow made of blood was inserted into the Forest Gale Tigers heads, instantly killing them. The others, who were also about to rush, halted after seeing their companions getting killed again.
"Good, your training is actually paying off now." Max's comment could be heard as the smoke settled down.
The remaining Forest Gale Tigers saw Ravenna aiming at them with a bow while multiple blood arrows floated beside her.
This was one of the lucky draws Max got from the lottery. He didn't get just this, he also got a storage pouch that had ten cubic meters of storage space in it, and that's it. He didn't get anything useful other than this. The remaining items included clothing, shoes, a hair comb, and a box of KitKat.
Ravenna aimed her bow, which was made of black wood, and there were some red rubies attached to its body while others formed like spikes on its two ends. This was a short bow, made for close-range and sometimes long-range fights.
Ravenna shot another arrow, and when she did, the rubies on its body lit up, enhancing the arrow.
Shwosh
The arrow zoomed through the air, headed toward another Forest Gale Tiger. Fortunately, it was ready and was able to move to the side. Still, it underestimated the arrow's speed.
Puchi
The arrow penetrated the Forest Gale Tiger's stomach, making it bleed nonstop. Its companion panicked after seeing that and was about to change formation to take revenge for their comrades, but they were late too.
Max had sneaked past them while they were focused on Ravenna by using the trees.
Max came beside one and beheaded it by surprise.
The few others who were about to take revenge, abandoned that thought immediately and made a run.
How could Max and Ravenna let that happen when they were the ones trying to kill them first?
Max killed the one closest to him, and Ravenna killed the one farthest away.
In a few seconds, they slaughter the entire Forest Gale Tiger pack like pigs.
"Huh~" Max exhaled a short breath after he was done killing the last one.
Ravenna retracted her bow, which transformed into a speck of light and shot into her chest, just right below her neck bone. A butterfly-like tattoo appeared on her chest, which enhanced her beauty.
"How was I, Max?" Ravenna trotted before Max asked curiously.
"You did well, not missing a single target. Looks like the training paid off." Max praised her, as she really did excellent despite using a bow for one year. It had Max's hand too, as without him, she might not have learned the basics in the first place; heck, she might have never tried using a bow.
Max was about to move forward when he heard. "Now, give me a KitKat as a reward."
