Chapter 98: Berserker Boar
“Phew. It’s definitely much harder to kill these Blood-Eyed Howlers when they’re not distracted.” Leo sighed out loud after killing the monsters.
“Are you okay?” Nina asked him a moment later.
“Yes, I am fine. Anyways, let me see the Desert Stalker. I’m intrigued by its appearance when it’s not in a camouflage.” Leo said as he approached the Desert Stalker’s corpse in the distance.
“Wow, this thing is freaking ugly! It’s like an alien!” Leo was startled when he saw the Desert Stalker’s appearance.
It had a human-like figure and a shockingly skinny body, almost as if it was a skeleton trying to pretend to be human. Furthermore, it had a pitch-black skin tone, looking like someone’s dinner that had been left inside the oven for too long. The Desert Stalker also had long arms and sharp nails that could work as claws. All in all, the Desert Stalker is now the ugliest-looking monster Leo had the displeasure to encounter with the Skinless Mongrel being second.
Once they collected the mana cores, they continued to wander the Wilderness, hunting every monster in sight until they were getting tired. When that happened, they consumed an energy potion, instantly rejuvenating their energy and making them feel as though they’d just woken up from a good nap.
They would continue this routine for the next three days, amassing over 500,000 points.
<You have completed a Quest>?? ? ?? n ? ???
[+1,000 Magic Points]
The moment he finished the quest that required him to kill 500 monsters, Leo purchased another one for 75 Magic Points.
[Magic Points: 999]
After hunting monsters nonstop for two consecutive days, Leo and Nina decided to take a break and actually get some real rest, and not wanting to slow down too much, they decided to take their break in the morning of the third day since the monsters were less active at that time.
“We have over half a million points now. What do you think our current rank is? Let’s take a guess and see who is closer.” Leo said to Nina as they ate breakfast.
“521,00 points, huh? We should be around rank 100.”
“Then I’ll guess rank 70.” p??da n?vel
Leo looked at his watch the next moment.
[Rank: 108]
“Ugh… You win. We’re ranked 108, not even top 100 yet.”
“There’s no need to be impatient. We still have plenty of time to catch up.”
“I guess so.”
After eating breakfast and taking a quick shower, Leo activated a new function for the tent that basically made it seem as though they were living inside a glass tent made of tinted glass, blocking most of the sunlight so that they could sleep peacefully.
Of course, he could’ve turned off the transparent wall function to completely block the sunlight, but he still wanted to be able to see the situation outside just in case there were Desert Stalkers or other monsters creeping outside their tent. ,c,om
“There’s no need to keep watch, Nina. Get some rest. We’ll be fine. If any monster attacks our tent while we sleep, there will be alarms to wake us up.” Leo said to her, as he was worried that she might not sleep to watch over him like the last time.
“I know.” She nodded.
“If there’s an emergency, wake me up.” Leo said to Lilith as he tucked himself comfortably into his sleeping bag.
“Of course.”
Leo quickly fell asleep after closing his eyes. The same went for Nina. Even though they’ve been replenishing their energy with potions, that was only a temporary solution. Furthermore, the more they use energy potions to get rid of their fatigue the less effective the potions will become until they get some real rest.
The two of them would sleep for the entire morning and most of the afternoon. By the time they woke up, it was already 5 PM.
“Morning.” Nina, who woke up an hour earlier, said to Leo when he woke up.
He looked at her with a dazed face, “What time is it?”
“Five in the afternoon,” she calmly said.
“10 hours, huh. That’s not bad considering that we’ve hunted monsters for two days straight.”
p ?? da n ?v el “My god, our rank had dropped by 70 ranks in just 10 hours! Are these guys not sleeping at all or something?!” Leo was shocked when he saw that their rank had tanked to rank 171.
“It will only be this fierce for the first week of the training course. After that, everyone will slow down from fatigue and injuries. It’s always been like this. Remember, this isn’t a sprint. It’s a marathon.” Nina said.
“You’re right. I will stop looking at our rank for the rest of the week.” Leo nodded.
After washing his face, Leo and Nina ate some food before cleaning up the place and returning outside to continue their hunt.
After hunting for a few hours, Leo and Nina came to a sudden halt when they noticed several human figures in the distance, and they appeared to be fighting a Berserker Boar.
“Those people… They’re wearing our school uniform.” Leo mumbled as he watched them with interest.
There were six of them in a group, but despite their number, they seemed to be having trouble with the Berserker Boar that was like an unstoppable force as it ignored the magic spells the students were throwing at it.
All six students were magic users, and they were trying their best to cast spells while dodging the Berserker Boar’s charge attacks. Most of their magic spells were between Tier 2 and Tier 3 spells, but even that was not enough to completely stop the Berserker Boar.
Eventually, over 30 magic spells later, the Berserker Boar finally collapsed on the ground and stopped moving.
“You see, this is what fighting a Berserker Boar should look like. Most students don’t have the capability to kill a Berserker Boar with one hit.” Nina suddenly said to him.
“But considering your reputation as the Sword Emperor, I guess it isn’t that weird that you’re able to kill them with such ease.”
Shortly after the fight ended, Leo and Nina stopped watching these students and continued their grind.
