Time flew by and it was already afternoon when Shane hunted seven more berserk mountain boars.

In total, Shane killed eight 2nd-Wild adolescent mountain boars and 18 3rd-Wild matured mountain boars, while not a single mid-Wild stage mountain boar had been scouted by him.

Umbra was still looking around with interest, but he couldn’t really help, as his strength was way too less for even the adolescent mountain boars.

There had only been one time when Umbra had helped him slightly when he manifested a thin shadow attributed needle to attack a berserk mountain boar. The needle had pierced its eyes, saving Shane from sustaining an injury.

Before that, Shane hadn’t known that Umbra was able to do that. Umbra’s affinity was the lowest-basic and he was only at the peak of the 1st-Wild stage which was almost nothing.

But, it had been a fortunate incident for him. After that, Shane tried to figure out a fighting style that included Umbra’s help, even though it would only help by a marginal degree.

He was about to go back to the shelter when he suddenly saw a large group of more than 10 mountain boars. The pack consisted of four female mountain boars, five younglings, and two male mountain boars.

Looking at this large group, Shane felt that it would be nice to have four berserk mountain boars, but fighting against ten opponents at the same time seemed unrealistic.

Excluding the weak force of the low-2nd Wild youngling boars which he could easily massacre with his physique and combat prowess, the only problem would be fighting four berserk mountain boars at the same time.

Shane also ignored the fact that two male mountain boars were present.

According to him, the only threat from the whole group were the berserk beasts.

Still, Shane wanted to give it a try. He had already imprinted the behavior, intelligence and common movement pattern mountain boars normally took once a brethren had been killed, in his mind and was fully prepared.

Furthermore, he roughly knew his surroundings after spending a few hours there. He had also spotted a special place he could use and forming a plan in his mind, Shane began to smile widely.

Positioning himself, Shane sneaked closer to the larger group of mountain boars. He then circulated the mana inside his lower body, and pushed himself from the ground with fast strides, reaching a decent speed.

The mountain boars were grazing quietly, oblivious to Shane who had crept in the center of the group in slow and steady steps. He thrust out his dagger in a nimble and elegant manner before twisting his body to inflict serious injuries on the mountain boar younglings that stood in the center to protect the others.

Having noticed the presence of a hostile being amongst them, the matured mountain boars roared out in rage. They noticed their offspring’s blood splattering through the air which caused their mind to go blank as they heard the painful squeals.

The male mountain boars charged at Shane but they had to stop in between. Their sole opponent was surrounded by the dead bodies of their offsprings which lay on the ground with blood pooling on the ground.

Smiling lightly, Shane waited for a second, before he took out the prismarine-luminous crystal and injected mana into it, causing a bright light to appear, dazzling the mountain boars around him.

Before long, the prismarine-luminous-crystal shattered, while Shane’s mana was completely used up. But, the bright shining light had given him enough time to escape out of the mountain boars’ shallow guarded center.

Once the mountain boars could see again, they noticed Shane’s disappearance and the life force in their offspring dissipating, which caused them to cry out in agony.

All four female mountain boars’ hair stiffened, while their eyes turned red, causing the male boars to be intimidated.

Looking around in their berserk state, they noticed Shane standing far away, waving at them.

His actions infuriated all six mountain boar’s and they mindlessly charged at him.

If they had even the tiniest speck of intelligence in their small brain, they would have noticed that Shane had jumped across a four-meter width cliff that was difficult to see without looking carefully around.

The cliff was slightly less than 15 meters deep, 50 meters long and only four meters wide. Ignoring the imminent death facing them, they only focussed on Shane, the murderer of their offsprings, and charged straight at him.

Once they were five meters apart, a sane male mountain boar noticed that there was a three-meter wide cliff between them. But with their current speed, it was impossible for them to come to an abrupt halt.

As such, it tried to jump across the cliff but with its short leg and heavy weight. The male mountain boar was barely able to cross a distance of two-meter before it smashed into the wall below, falling down the cliff, breaking its legs and many more bones in its body.

Six loud THUMPS could be heard and Shane had to be fast as the possibility for the mountain boars to die before he arrived, couldn’t be ignored. Bones piercing through internal organs was not something to scoff at.

Descending the cliff, Shane arrived at the base within a minute. He could only smile apologetically to see the berserk mountain boars struggle to stand up.

Seeing him, they roared in pain and anger. But they knew everything was over when Shane stabbed at the nearest male mountain boar.

They could never accept this outcome, and still tried everything in their power to injure their opponent even though it was very painful.

Unfortunately, most of their bones were shattered and they couldn’t even move around freely anymore. One after the other, Shane ended their life with a clean cut through their neck, dissipating their lifeforce.

After killing the third berserk mountain boar within this group, the long-awaited mechanical voice resounded in his head.

[Host killed 10 berserk beasts and is rewarded with the title [Berserk-Hunter(F)

Grants Skill [Berserk(F)] as long as the title is selected.]

But Shane had no time to celebrate, as there was still a berserk mountain boar and another male mountain boar left alive.

Ending their lives, Shane stored their bodies within his store, before he climbed up the small cliff once again to store the youngling mountain boars.

While climbing up the cliff, Shane looked at the message he had received, and quickly inspected the skill he had received through his newly obtained title.

[Berserk(F)]: Strength, mana circulation, and mana-outburst increase by 10%, for 10 seconds.

3 uses/day

Right after reading through the description, Shane was disappointed because he had dreamt about an OP skill. However, after rereading it multiple times, he thought that it could still be considered a decent ability.

This skill could come in handy when fighting against an opponent with the completely same combat prowess. It could not only increase his strength but also his mana circulation and mana outburst.

Right now, he could only use the increase in mana circulation and strength because he didn’t own an affinity or skill which required his mana outburst.

Considering the 10% and 10 seconds, Shane found it sufficient for one of the easiest obtainable titles. While pondering over the things one could do in 10 seconds, he thought it might even be labeled as above average, while the 10% increase in all aspects was, at most, average.

After he stored the carcasses inside his store and allocated the last spot of his store to the youngling corpses, Shane journeyed to the shelter, where he arrived an hour later.

Entering the shelter, the first thing Shane did, was searching for a hotel, where he would sleep tonight!

Paying 50 bronze coins, Shane went inside and locked the door to force himself not to go outside, because he had a bad feeling that he would once again sleep somewhere else.

Slithering out of his robe, Umbra hissed and demanded food. Shane retrieved the food from the spatial ring, after washing his dirty hands and the completely mud-soaked face, he noticed within the reflection of the water.
