Wooshing through the forest, Noah ignored any aura that belonged to tier 1 beasts, he couldn’t bother with them anymore.

Noah navigated himself through the forest, he still knew where he had encountered the lizard, and the map helped in directing him.

After few seconds, Noah came to a stop, he ignored the sound of trees uprooting, and the ground cracking, to inspect the area.

Apart from the mess his arrival had caused ,that area was totally fine, it was as though the fight between them had never happened. Though this didn’t surprise him, he already knew this detail about the world.

Walking around the place with his aura still out, Noah noticed that no tier 1 beast was approaching his position, heck some of the aura’s left his range of detection.

Sighing at that matter, it seemed that even magical Beast could feel fear, or at least know when their opponent was not their match.

After a minute or so of waiting, Noah wanted to give up on the plan of killing the lizard, he wanted to kill it so bad, but if it had left he wouldn’t waste his time, though if it was really still around it would have attacked him by now.

Orange Sparks began to flicker around his figure, and on his body. Noah was about to move, Then he sensed it, it was only small but then it increased.

A wide grin appeared on his face , he ran towards where he sensed it. Noah wasn’t going to wait for it to make a dramatic entrance.

In those milliseconds of running, Noah’s already extremely fast beating heart began to beat even faster, he was excited to test his strength.

Stopping around 10 meters in front of the beast he sensed , surprise appeared on Noah’s face.

Contrary to the lizard that he expected ,what was in front of Noah was a big Cockrel!.

The Cockrel was as tall as as him, with it’s feathers green in colour ,and a yellow eyes that looked at him with a tinge of intelligence, Though it still rushed towards him ,with it’s wings spread, and the feathers on its neck standing.

The Cockrel was crowing at him with rage.With those few seconds Noah inspected the Cockrel.

[Evolved Plant Cock]

[Tier: 2]

[Level: 29]

[Chances of death: 4%]

Noah raised an eyebrow at the changes ,but he didn’t have time to think about that now ,since the cockrel was already in front of him.

Forming his “Energy Blades” on both hands, Noah flashed beside the still raging Cockrel. Rather than just slashing Noah decided to try out his physical strength.

He kicked the Cockrel, sending it flying, it crashed a few trees before stopping, Then it released a high pitched crow.

Though Noah was surprised that it was still alive, he still noticed the vines that were making their way toward him.

Then immediately they turned to sharp vines, shooting at him, If not for his slow motion perception, Noah knew he wouldn’t be able to dodge.

He dodged all of them with little foot, work, his training with the martial art making him dodge the vines like they were child’s play.

Then the Cockrel came out of the forest, instead of charging at him with rage, the Cockrel stood there, it’s breathing rough, Probably due to its wrecked wing.

It seemed that the Cockrel had managed to intercept his kick by placing it’s wing in the way, which led to a gaping hole opening in it.

Though it had placed it’s wing in front of his attack ,the side of the Cockrel had caved in, though it seemed not enough to kill it.

Noah nodded at the slight intelligence of the Cockrel, it had raised more vines ,but before they could attack him ,Noah moved.

Flashing In front of the Surprised Cockrel, Noah gave it a upwards kick, sending it flying upwards, then in that split second, Noah took a deep breath, before executing the ” Mountain stomp” Move, it was a move that made him focus all of his power on his legs, before stomping the ground with all the accumulated power.

It was supposed to be an offensive move, that would cause vibrations to shake the ground and even crack it, But Noah could use it to propel himself upwards.

Doing just that, Noah’s figure flashed in front of the Cockrel midair, Then he slashed at it’s neck , cutting it off cleanly.

Noah landed on the ground with the grace of a ballerina, while the body of the Cockrel hit the floor with the grace of a Rock.

Storing the body and ignoring the message of the system, Noah bent the upper half of his body backwards, his hands almost touching the ground,

Then he sprang up kicking the thing that attack him. He sent it flying causing it to crash and break trees.

Noah looked at the the direction where he kicked the Beast. “That thing is definitely smart, trying to perform a sneak attack on me again, good thing I am not the same way I was last time we met” Noah said

After a few seconds Noah heard a roar, the figure of a massive lizard entered his sight, it had rocks for scales, and had red eyes that looked at him with rage.

Noah Inspected it to be sure.

[Evolved Stone Lizard]

[Tier:2]

[Level: 31]

[Chances of death: 7%]

“It has levelled up once” Noah said in his mind. Then he moved, flashing behind the lizard, Noah picked up it tail, swinging it like it was a bat. He used it’s body to break trees, before going on to throw it away.

It crashed on some trees ,breaking them and sending sharp wood splinters into the air, Noah flashed in front of the lizard again, he would have loved to play with it a little more, but he didn’t want to let his guard down ,because there could be other beasts hiding waiting for a moment of weakness.

Noah straightened his right arm, plunging it into the lizards head, through its eye, he stopped only when his elbow was inside it.

He removed his arms ,then stored the lizards body.

Then inspected his surroundings, to check if there were any other beasts around. 𝘦𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝗇𝓔t

After a few minutes of nothing happening, Noah stopped his aura from flowing.

Then inspected the messages that had popped up.

[You have gained exp]

[You have gained exp]

[You have levelled up once]

[You have levelled up once]

[You have gained 5 points to all stats]

[You have gained 5 points to all stats]

[You have 10 points to distribute]

[You have 10 points to distribute]

He had levelled up twice, Putting his current level at 27. It seemed that the free stat points had increased to 5, while the points he got to distribute had increased to 10 per level.

Nodding his head at the welcomed increase, Noah postponed the distribution of stats to a later date.

He looked around ,he wasn’t tired one bit, and he wasn’t sure if there were other strong beasts around.

He had long decided to leave the forest, Killing the lizard was just a branch on his journey.

With that reaffirmed, Noah moved.

Shattering the sound barrier multiple times ,he moved inside the forest , navigating through it, the 3D mental map showed him his position and which path he could take to get to his destination.

There were different paths to the city and he had formerly decided to take the one with a lot of magical beast. But now that he was set on getting to the city ,he decided to change paths,it would take him a while but it would still be faster than normal.

Changing his direction, Noah ran with renewed vigour. Thanks to his current speed he crossed large distances in seconds.

He didn’t stop until he saw a clearing, that looked artificial and was wide enough to allow the passage of two trucks at a time.

Noah stopped at the edge of the road to check if there was anyone or anything around. Actually he didn’t really stop, his body was still emitting loads of electrical energy, and his surroundings were still moving incredibly slow.

He had learnt that he could stop running but remain in the influence of running ,he wasn’t sure why, but he had a good guess,and which was that ‘his slow motion perception and his super speed made him able to do that.

He actually hadn’t gotten a name for it but he would, eventually.

After what seemed to be a few seconds, but was actually less that one, Noah continued his run on the road, According to the map the road led straight to the city, but it was riddled with bandits, according to the description of the place in his mental map.

Though he wasn’t worried about the bandits ,they wouldn’t be able to see him not to talk of rob him.

So with that, Noah continued running for hours, his high stamina helping him greatly. He decided to stop only when he had crossed the halfway mark to his destination.
