Chapter 23 - Hunt

In the outer zone of the vast forest, a silver haired man walked leisurely.

He had picked a deadly mission for those at his level of existence. One would think of him as a suicidal maniac.

Roaaaaar!!!

A powerful roar shook the ground.

A towering bear appeared the moment he entered its territory. Its expression was fierce the moment it eyed him.

It gave off a powerful presence far exceeding his realm of existence.

Crack

The ground cracked. Faster than he could react, it zoomed in. Its huge fist connected with his body and...

Boom

He was blasted away like a broken kite. Several trees were shattered as he was smashed into them.

It didn't stop, its body glowed with a blue light. A thick ice layer covered its hand and..

Boom

Anorax narrowly dodged. The bear's speed wasn't something he could match with. It was a higher tier than that damn lizard.

If he didn't go all out here and now, his chances of victory were none. He could atleast gain momentum with some boost but deep down he knew the bitter truth.

Roaaaaaar!!!!!

The area around it froze. A thick ice layer spread out. The temperature dropped. Suddenly...

Rumble!!!!

The once clear sky darkened. Thunder bolts slithered viciously with lethal intensity. It was as if a huge blanket had covered the sky around them.

A scorching heat permitted the area. His body was blazing with crimson flames.

He attacked. The moved at sound breaking speeds. The ground shook at their relentless assault.

He had a hard time dodging its blows. Its huge body did little at slowing its insane speed.

The trees were uprooted and blasted like grass. The ice coated fists shook his organs at every contact.

Boom

He jumped out of the crater.

Boom

A powerful ice beam struck the area he had been. An ice beam shot out from its huge mouth towards him.

He ran faster avoiding the powerful freezing energy. Everything was frozen. Nothing was spared.

He breathed roughly. The battle was far from over.

Lightning covered his body. He appeared behind it. Its instincts screamed danger but....

Boom

He gritted his teeth and impaled a long golden spear coated with pure white flames.

The bear's huge body was blasted away at his full strength. A wide trench was left in its wake.

The spear was a powerful divine weapon coated in ancient flames. His scheme was paying off.

It had lowered its guard down. What better way than use that opportunity.

"This thing is very dangerous." He muttered.

The Flame this time acted strangely. It was devouring everything. Life force and every bit of its energy.

Rooaaaaarrrrrr!!!

The bear roared in extreme pain. It's eyes were bloodshot. It opened its mouth wide.

A powerful condensed ice beam shot out. The beam followed him wherever he ran to. This attack was far more fierce that the forest started freezing from the shear power the bear had unleashed.

A beast at its level was nothing to scoff off. He ran but didn't forget to curse. He had fucked up abit. This wasn't according to the script, right.

The commotion alerted everyone nearby. It wasn't rear for such battles to be seen in the forest but...

A figure could be seen running as if its life depended on it. A thick ice beam trailed closely behind it.

His heart sank. Why was he always in such situations.

He had attracted too much attention but hadn't realised in his quest for survival.

The bear stopped. It ran towards him but its speed had decreased greatly.

A golden lightning descended and crashed it. He wasted no time. His fist connected with its huge chest.

Booooooom

He punched faster. His hands turned into a blur. A huge hole appeared in its chest. Each punch created a powerful shockwave.

Boom

He was blasted away like a fry. He crashed into a mountain. He sunk deeply.

Roooaaar

The attack was too fast that he couldn't come to react.

The bear rose from a huge pool of blood. Its eyes blazing with raw anger. Eyes fixed on the mountain ahead. But...

The injuries became worse at every movement. It was in a very worse condition.

Anorax was no better. His clothes were let in tatters. His regeneration was doing wonders covering injuries.

His gaze landed on the golden spear in its back. The bear was going to die either way.

'The White flames are very dangerous. I don't know their full capabilities yet. Seems they devoured 80% of its energy. Its also aging faster than a mortal at a noticeable rate.'

He made a grasping gesture and...

The golden spear gave off a powerful light. It shook violently in the bear's back.

Rooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

A soul crashing roar shook the forest. Beasts ran away in fright. It was so powerful and loud that some beasts froze in shock and terror.

The spear shot forward through the bear's chest. It's massive body crashed down in frost. The forest region was ice cold with ice statues around.

He stroked the golden spear in admiration. It had been a master piece in his plan.

There was no way he was going to go into a fist fight with that thing.

"What a beautiful spear!"

He stored it away walking towards the dying beast. Even from afar, it gave off a crashing pressure. But it couldn't comprehend how it fell for this human's scheme.

He immediately slashed off one of its hands. It nolonger had strength to shout.

But....

He wasted no time as golden lightning covered his body. He bolted away with his loot...

Boooooooooooooooooom

A barrier appeared in a kilometer radius around the area hi had been. In it, a powerful frost shockwave spread out engulfing everything freezing it instantly into crystal statues.

Had he been a millisecond later, who knows what his fate would have been.

He appeared hundreds of kilometers away though he never stopped. His goal was returning to the Academy now.

"That was a wonderful fight, your very talented~."

A soothing voice sounded in his ears but he didn't see anyone.

"Oh my~ Am not here anyway I see you prefer physical encounters. We shall meet again."

The feminine voice disappeared. He was sure she was the one who stopped the blast.

What he didn't know was that everything happened under the watchful eyes of someone.

Finally. Finally he is here.

She had sensed a familiar feeling she had been having recently at every strange happening.

This time she has spotted the victim and it appeared he is a near year student.

'His powers are strangely familiar though his are different from 'Her'.'

Anorax went straight to the receptionist who managed everything about the missions.

The woman was surprised seeing the big cleaved beast hand. The aura it gave off was that of a Tier 4 nearing the next Tier. She eyed him in curiosity.

"I can't believe it. How can a Legendary realm kill a Tier 4 Bear in just a few hours. It takes a group of students at that rank to come up with a good strategy. But... Well it's done." She said.

She processed everything and credited him 25 points.

He left as fatigue wore heavily on him.

'Who was that woman who stopped the blast. Let's hope I didn't get attention from a crazied bitch.'

He made way to his home. He took a long cold shower. He could feel his muscles relax.

Niphilia and Hilosura were also going at it rough as he did. They had picked missions about beast hunt.

They kept cursing at him as they fought tooth and nail for their lives.

"That bastard will definitely pay for coming up with such a crazy idea. I won't trust his words next time."

They fought showering him curses in his absence.

He felt a chill down his spine but he didn't come up with a suitable reason.
