After looking at his [Status], Theo realized that the [Compressed Mana Stones] were exhausted, only one remained with very little mana. So he decided to buy 6 more of them this time because he knew that with Yuki’s transformation, she will now be able to absorb more mana. Even if she doesn’t have a Cultivation Technique yet.

After buying the [Compressed Mana Stones], Theo began to cultivate again using <Primordial Darkness Ray> until he was sleepy.

*

Next morning …

Waking up, Theo noticed a white (Fox) looking at him.

“Ah, yes, it’s Yuki.” Theo then remembered that the (Red fox) happened to be (Snow Fox).

When Yuki realized that Theo woke up, he walked over to him and began rubbing her face in his, wagging her tail happily.

“Seriously, why does she like this so much?” Theo thought…

“Ron”

Soon Theo heard his belly growling, feeling hungry. Theo went to the wood stove outside of the [Cave] and began to prepare roasted meat for them to eat.

Although he liked to eat the roast meat this way, Theo always thought of how it would be best if he had a (Human) shape, which would let him use more seasoning, and make other types of food. But unfortunately, he doesn’t know if, as he increases his cultivation, he will be able to gain a (Human) form, so the only thing he can do is continue to increase his cultivation.

After they ate all the meat, Theo decided to go hunting again, but this time, Yuki was going with him.

Theo saw no problem in letting her come along with him today. Since she already got her [Magic Core], so he believed there are many (Animals) that can put his life at risk, not since he doesn’t intend to go very far into the forest, for he had already realized that the further into the forest, the stronger would be the (Animals) and (Monsters) be.

Walking in the forest, always killing those who tried to get in their way, Theo managed to make some [System Points]. Even more so today with Yuki helping him. Theo was able to make [System Points] even faster than yesterday. Before Theo had 927 [System Points], and now he already had 1.442 [System Points], he managed to do this in a few hours with the help of Yuki.

Although Yuki did not even have an [Ice] attack, whenever she attacked, a small amount of <Ice> was generated.

Theo: “Ah?!” Distracted in his thoughts, Theo didn’t notice that they ended up surrounded by more than 50 (Wolves), and Theo also noticed that they were all (Gray Wolves).

Theo: “Damn, where did these (Gray Wolves) come from?” Theo asked, looking at them. Noting that most of them are in the 2nd Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom and more than 10 of them are in the 3rd Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom. There was even one (Alpha Gray Wolf) leading them in the 5th Layer of the Apprentice Kingdom.

Theo: “Hmph! Are you thinking that I’m your prey? You’re all going to become my [System Points].” Theo thought in his mind.

Theo: “<Thunder Roar>”

“Baruuuum!”

Without waiting for them to start attacking, Theo used the <Thunder Roar> that he had created, killing more than 3 (Gray Wolves).

Theo: “HAHAHA! Come on, didn’t you want to surround me?”

(Alpha Gray Wolf): “AWOOOO”

Hearing the howl of the (Alpha Grey Wolf), the (Gray Wolves) began to run towards Theo and Yuki.

Theo: “Hmph! Do you think you can scare me coming all at once?” Even when surrounded by (Gray Wolves). Theo couldn’t deny that he was a little excited.

Theo: “<Dark Roar>”

“Booomp!”

Another explosion was caused by Theo’s attack, killing and wounding some (Gray Wolves).

Yuki was already fighting some who were in the 2nd and 3rd Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom. Seeing that she was catching up, Theo went towards the others (Gray Wolves).

Theo: “Take this. <Sharp Claws>.”

“Clack”

The (Grey Wolf) who was in the 3rd Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom received Theo’s attack. His head broke in half, breaking the bones of his head, and blood began to flow from him.

“Geez, it’s been a while since I used my affinities.” Theo exclaimed happily and surprised at the result of his attack.

Soon, Theo dodged another (Gray Wolf) who attempted to bite him and activated his ability <Beast’s Movement>. With speed increase, Theo managed to get on the side of the (Gray Wolf) that attempted to attack him and used <Beast’s Bite>, attacking his neck. “Clack!” The sound of breaking bones was heard from Wolf’s neck. Feeling the taste of blood, Theo saw that (Gray Wolf) was already dead, he left it and went to attack another.

(Alpha Gray Wolf): “AWOOO.”

Seeing that his pack was dying easily by Theo and Yuki, the (Alpha Gray Wolf) howled angrily. Causing more and more (Gray Wolves) to go towards Theo.

Because of having so many (Gray Wolves) attacking at the same time, Theo eventually suffered some attacks, but they were only superficial wounds since Theo’s skin was so hard.

Theo: “Hahaha! You call that an attack? This is an attack <Thunder Roar>!”

“Blast!”

“BOOM”

Theo’s attack directly hit the head of a (Gray Wolf), causing his head to be pulled off his body. Blood began to flow from his body, looking like a fountain. Even after hitting the (Gray Wolf), Theo’s attack continued to go forward until it collided with the ground making a small crater. Because of this, many (Gray Wolves) were injured.

Because of Theo’s attack, fear began to appear in the eyes of the (Gray Wolves), and because of this, the (Gray Wolves) began to step back in fear automatically, wanting to retreat. Seeing this, the (Alpha Gray Wolf) became very angry and began to howl loudly once more, rebuking the other (Gray Wolves) who wanted to retreat. Upon hearing their alpha howl, the (Gray Wolves) seemed to have returned to their senses, and stopped retreating.

Even though Theo was focused on his fight, he was always looking towards Yuki to see if she needed help. When he went to look at her again, he saw that she was holding a (Gray Wolf) with her mouth, half frozen, probably already dead, and another one laid on the floor with claw marks and ice on his body. Even those who were surrounding her were already injured.

“Hm… her fighting instincts are very good!” Theo thought surprised and glad she was all right.

Theo knew that most were heading in his direction, but even so, Yuki was managing to fight a 10 (Gray Wolves) without getting hurt.

————–

Theo continued to attack the (Gray Wolves) and to use <Devour> whenever he was tired, choosing to exchange for <Essence> because doing so would always recover his strength. In the meantime, he and Yuki had already managed to kill more than half the (Gray Wolves).

(Alpha Grey Wolf): “AWOOOO!”

Seeing that more than half of them were already dead, the (Alpha Gray Wolf) howled angrily again and started to head towards Yuki at a very fast speed.

Unlike the other (Gray Wolves) that were between 1.50m and 1.60m, he was 2.20m in length and his speed was very fast. Theo wanted to go to help Yuki, but the (Gray Wolves) that were around Theo made it difficult.

The (Alpha Gray Wolf) began to be covered in [Fire] and launched a <Fireball> in Yuki’s direction.

Yuki tried to dodge but the <Fireball> went very fast and hit her left back side, hurling her 10 to 15 meters away.

Seeing Yuki being wounded by the (Alpha Gray Wolf) attack, Theo got very angry. His eyes began to turn blood red golden, and sparks began to come out of his eyes. He then looked at the (Gray Wolves) that were making it difficult and roared fiercely.

Theo: “GOOOARRRRR”

Attacking in all directions using [Lightning], Theo hit all the (Gray Wolves) in his path…

“BOOOM!” “BOOOM!” “BOOOM!” “BOOOM!” “BOOOM!”

The shock waves were produced by Theo’s attacks. It was as powerful as a tsunami, sweeping the earth away and killing everyone who stood in its way. Most of the (Gray Wolves) died on the spot, some of them even had their limbs ripped, some of the (Gray Wolves) were still awake and tried to stand up with great difficulty, withstanding the terrifying shock wave with clenched teeth… almost all the (Gray Wolves) expelled the blood when their internal organs were injured by shock wave.

Theo didn’t care about these (Gray Wolves) moaning in pain… his only concern now was Yuki.

Arriving in front of Yuki, Theo saw that she was still alive, only some of her bones were broken and she was full of bruises and blood on her body. Seeing this, Theo was very angry at the (Alpha Grey Wolf). Then he began to channel his mana in his mouth and it converted to [Lightning].

“Bururururururun”

Sounds of [Lightning] gathering in Theo’s mouth began to appear, scaring the (Alpha Gray Wolf) to death, and making him want to escape as quickly as possible from this place. But Theo gave him no chance to flee and launched his assault on the (Alpha Gray Wolf).

“KABUMMMM!”

Before the (Alpha Gray Wolf) managed to escape, Theo’s attack was launched with alarming speed, hitting him. A [Lightning] blast occurred, forming large shockwaves to all sides, killing many of the (Gray Wolves) who had managed to survive before. In the place where the attack struck, a large 20-meter crater, surrounding the (Alpha Gray Wolf), was formed.

Without caring about what happened to the (Alpha Gray Wolf), Theo bought 2 [Perfect Healing Potion] and opened them. Theo noticed that Yuki still couldn’t get up, so he took the potion bottle with his mouth and went to Yuki.

Yuki started to drink the potion given by Theo with great difficulty. But soon after, she began to recover, making Theo sigh with relief.

After having used almost all of his mana when attacking the (Alpha Gray Wolf), Theo was almost left without strength, he then went to where there were 3 dead (Gray Wolves) and used <Devour>, choosing [Essence] to recover. Recovering a little, Theo noticed that some (Gray Wolves) still managed to survive, but they were on the verge of death. He went to them and killed them, using <Devour> and exchanging for [System Points].

Theo then went to where the (Alpha Gray Wolf) was. Then he saw that he was almost completely charred by the [Lightning] attack. Even when seeing that he was in this state, Theo used <Devour> on it.

[Obtained: 254 System Points]

Theo: “Even though he was in this state, he still gave me points…” Theo thought, surprised.

After that, Theo returned to where Yuki was and saw that she was already on her feet, much of her coat that had been burned had already recovered. “These potions are really good.” Theo thought.

He still had the other [Perfect Healing Potion] he had bought. Theo then took the potion and gestured for Yuki to take it. After taking the potion, Yuki began to recover quickly at a speed he could see with the naked eye.

After the potion’s effect passed, Theo realized that only 80% of the damage suffered was recovered. Seeing this, Theo bought two more potions, but this time he bought two [Medium Healing Potion].

Theo ended drinking one and Yuki drank the other. Soon all her bruises and injuries were gone. It didn’t even look like she was on the verge of death moments ago.

“These potions are really miraculous, if I were (Human) I would be able to use them even in the middle of a fight.” Theo began to daydream wondering if he could get a (Human) form.

Theo: “Well, it can’t be helped. I’m already happy to have a chance to live again!” He thought.

Theo: “Thinking about it now, in this fight I was too cocky, and almost resulted in Yuki’s death.” Theo decided to reflect on this fight, and prevent that from happening again.

Seeing that Theo was sad about what just happened, Yuki went to Theo’s side and began rubbing her face in his, looking at him as if saying “I’m fine! Don’t be sad!”

Theo, not wanting to leave Yuki sad, soon recovered and then the 2 began to return to the [Cave].
