Chapter 6 – In dire straits

Chapter 6 is OUT!!!

4 days passed and Damon arrived at the outskirts of Mountain Beast Range, he looked in front of him and sighed, “so this is the Mountain Beast Range” he was amazed in front of him was tall mountains, huge trees, Damon was traveling with caravan so in just 4 days he was here, he read so many books about Mountain Beast Range and now it was right before him, he clenched his fists and entered forest.

He was aware of dangers, so he was walking cautiously on his back was slim silver sword around 70 cm length, It was common sword that he took from Institute, he walked around 1 hour but didn’t saw any beast or human being, Damon wasn’t disappointed and didn’t let his guard down, another 10 minutes passed he was going deeper in forest, from what he read from books, on outskirts there were low level beasts, their level was going up in deeper parts of forest.

“Awwwwww” suddenly voice rang out Damon instantly withdrew his sword and was ready for fight, voice was coming from around 100-150 meters in front of him and was getting near, in just seconds beast appeared in front of Damon, it was around 2 meters long, with muscular body, his fur was silver with deep black eyes, it was silver moon wolf rank 2 magical beast, Damon read about this beast in books, it had very strong body and sharp claws, in the night its fur was reflecting moon’s light and shining, because of this it was called Silver moon wolf.

Beast was looking at Damon with fierce eyes, Damon clenched sword tightly and was ready for fight, he knew that Silver moon wolf’s claws were very sharp so it was best to avoid direct contact, he started chanting spell, “wind walking” when he said this words his body became lighter, now he could move freely, Wind Walking was rank 2 wind spell, it enchanted user’s speed, now Damon was twice fast than before.

When Wolf saw damon casting spell he reacted instantly and started running towards him, wolf appeared in front of Damon and swung his claw in direction of his head, but it was too late Damon already casted Wind Walking and dodged beasts claw, he appeared on the left side of the beast and casted another magic spell “Fire Ball” fire ball size of human head flew from his left hand in direction of beast, wolf reacted and cut through fire ball with his claw, but it was too late Damon was already behind him, wolft couldn’t react on time and was cut by Damon, “awww” it let out a low growl and fell on groud, it was first time for Damon killing a beast, his blood was boiling with excitement in his eyes, “so this is real combat” he said to himself, then he walked to the dead beast and started to cut its body, inside was located Magical Beast Core.

Magical Beast cores were expensive, Level 2 beast cores price was around 200 gold, higher level cores were thousands of golds worth, so Damon wouldn’t just leave this wolfs core here, he took out core from body, it white ball size of fist and put it into his bag.

2 month passed, Damon already killed dozens of level 1 and 2 magical beasts and made breakthrough he was now 3rd rank warrior, his hair was disorderd, all of his body was in dirt and blood, his clothes were tattered, in his bag he had another pair of robe, but Damon didn’t use it because he was engaging in battle everyday, so it was no use in new clothes, one night he was sitting near big boulder, he was frying beast meat.

Next morning Damon was hunting magical beasts just like past months, now he was facing snake around 6 meters long, “so its Poisonous Gray Python” he once read that Poisonous Gray Pythons are rare creatures, heir body is tough and can break peoples bones if catch by it, plus it has poison in his fangs but they are slow and weak against fire magic.

Damon smiled and while looking at Gray Python he casted spell “Fire Ball” in an instant fire ball appeared on his hand damon already mastered this skill so he could unleash its full strength and cast it instantly, fire ball was shoot in snake’s direction and when it touched Python’s body it started to flounder, in just seconds snakes whole body was burnt and its core was on ground, Damon picked it up stored in his bag.

just like this he killed two more beasts and was searching for another prey but suddenly he heard terrible growl, something was approaching him, he looked behind and saw gigantic creature 5 meters high with fierce golden eyes it was Golden Eyed Bear, “why is golden eyed bear here?!” Damon stared at the huge creature with disbelief it was rank 5 beast, it had pitch black fur and golden eyes in the dark when only his eyes were visible and from here comes his name.

Past 2 month Damon met 3 rank 3 beasts, he hardly killed them but took big damage, rank 3 beasts was already his limits as for rank 5? It was certain death.

Damon understood that he mustn’t fight this bear or only death awaits him, he hurriedly casted Wind Walking and started to escape, bear saw this and started running towards him, Damon looked back and was horrified huge beast was chasing after him like mad and was catching up, “what to do, what to doo” Damon was asking himself.

Bear was nearing him with every past second and in a blink of an eye he was already near his back, Damon looked behind and saw claw coming after him, he couldn’t escape so only choice was to block it, instantly fire ball appeared on his left hand, he shot it in direction of claw and unsheathed his sword.

claw got past fire ball like it was nothing and sliced Damons chest, he blocked it with sword but when they clashed sword broke, he was sent flying and fell on ground 10 meters from bear, on his chest there was huge wound, “phtt” blood was flowing from his mouth, with a pale face he got on his knees and looked at bear, beast was looking at him with his fierce golden eyes, and preparing to tear him in peaces.

Damon thought to himself “will I die like this?” he remembered how his parents died, he wanted to get revenge, became stronger, in this world strong ruled and weak died, he wanted power, power to get revenge, power to stand on the top!.

Bear started walking towards him, Damon wanted to run but couldn’t “MOVEEEE” he was shouting on himself, he bite his tongue and forced himself to stand, blood sprayed from his mouth, he turned around and started to run from bear but after 10 meters he fell on ground.

He turned around and looked at bear that was already in front of him, he felt that it was end for him and suddenly pictures started to appear in his mind how he met with Lark and Troy, they were his first friends, he remembered his life with Desil, Damon didn’t wanted to die but his body wasn’t listening to him.

“so this is the end” he looked at bear who was going to crush him and muttered to himself.

Bear raised his hand and was going to crush Damon with his claw, but suddenly “HOUU!” loud roar rang out.
