"Damn… are you sure you are Fiery Flame Lion?" Nux questioned as he glanced at the beast in front of him.
The beast was a Lion with Flames as its mane and it gave off a dangerous aura.
Umm… well, not really.
There was no dangerous Aura.
Its whole body was covered in scratches and cuts, its movements were now sluggish, no, sluggish was an understatement, it couldn't move.
Its eyes that were filled with immense pride and ego were now filled with dread as it glanced at Nux.
It wanted to run away, however,
It couldn't move.
Nux then started walking towards the Lion, with whatever strength it was left with, the Lion tried to step back, however, it lost the balance of its body and fell down.
Its whole body was now numb. It only glanced at Nux who was walking beside it and regretted attacking.
Maybe… maybe it would have been left alive if it didn't attack him this monster.
Nux just shook his head, then, a sword appeared in his hand and he pierced it into Lion's head, taking its life.
"Grrr…"
The Fiery Flame Lion then closed his eyes, the flames surrounding its mane died down and it stopped breathing.
"I really got stronger huh…"
Nux, who killed the Lion couldn't help but smile.
Last time, he had to use all the strength he had to defeat it, however now…
Now he defeated him just because the Lion interrupted his 'walk'.
Well, actually, he was the one who deactivated his [Conceal], however, the Lion didn't have to know that.
Back to the topic,
Nux defeated the Lion easily.
The Lion's movements felt so sluggish to him that he felt like he was fighting a 1-star Beast.
Actually, those 'scratches and cuts' all over Lion's body were just Nux testing his Poison Dagger that he got from Alger.
Otherwise, he could have beheaded this Lion like he had been beheading other 4-Star Beast in one slash.
Yes, he has been in the Wilderness for a few hours now, with how clean his clothes were and how tension free his face was, it was hard to believe but it was indeed the truth.
Not only that, he had even killed more than twenty 4-Star Beasts.
The process was very simple, you walk up to a Beast, slash your sword, and boom, the beast is beheaded, simple right?
Of course, don't try something like this if you do not [Conceal], else you will fail on the 'walk up to the beast' part.
[Ding]
[4-Star Beast Killed]
[Reward: 10 System Points]
[Fire Affinity: +10]
Nux completely ignored the message in front of him and continued his walk.
'Nux, I am here.'
However, just as he was about to attack another 4-Star beast, he heard Thyra's voice.
'Aha, as I thought, you are the first.'
Nux complimented.
'It's not like it's a big achievement, I am the strongest one after all…'
Thyra replied nonchalantly.
However, Nux was sure that there was a small smile on her face.
'Alright, I'll come to get you,' Nux muttered.
The beast he was about to attack looked around.
For some reason, it felt like it had overcome a danger.
A weird feeling indeed.
However, the beast didn't think too much about it and continued moving.
On the other side, Nux activated his [Conceal] and rushed out of the Inner Area, then he moved out of the Outer Area and walked into Clover Town.
'Where are you?'
He questioned.
'Near the Entrance.'
Thyra answered.
'Got it.'
Nux then rushed towards the Entrance and soon he found Thyra.
He completely ignored the man who lay on the ground behind Thyra, he could predict what had happened by how the group of 3 men were looking at Thyra.
The fear inside their eyes was clear.
Nux, however, did not pity these men. Hmph, they should be happy that Thyra didn't directly slit his throat. She was feeling good today, so she must have decided to let it go after beating the man till he was unconscious.
Nux then smiled, he then walked towards Thyra and offered his hand.
The three men who were looking at Thyra with fear in their eyes finally noticed Nux, then, a small smile appeared on their faces.
Someone else is going to suffer the same fate as them, it made them happy.
However, what happened next shocked them.
That monster that had a cold look on her face showed an amazingly beautiful smile then she grabbed the man's eyes and the two of them walked away.
"W-What was that…?" One of the men couldn't help but question.
"T-That woman can show a face like that…?" another man questioned.
"That's the benefit of having a handsome face.
Tsk Tsk, if we do it, then it's an assault, however, if someone handsome does the same thing, he is a gentleman!
Where's the logic in that?
Hmph! Women."
The last of the three snorted with a bitter face and the other two nodded.
"Hey… don't tell Alex about this after he wakes up…" Someone suggested.
The other two nodded and agreed.
Their friend would be too shocked if he knew what happened and they won't let this happen.
They are good friends indeed.
…
On the other side, Thyra and Nux were walking hand in hand, looking like a couple, there was a beautiful small smile on Thyra's face and Nux, who saw that smile smiled as well.
Thyra was too cute.
"Is anyone else coming right now?"
"Two and Three… I think they would reach here within a few hours…"
"Ahh, so we have a few hours with us, right?" Nux questioned.
A little perverted smile appeared on Thyra's face before it disappeared quickly and she nodded.
"Hmmm, what should we do in these few hours we have?" Nux questioned to himself.
Thyra's heart started beating faster.
Then, a mischievous smile appeared on Nux's face as he muttered,
"Well, let's go and hunt a few beasts. What do you say, Thyra?"
Thyra's smile disappeared, however, she was too shy to say anything.
In the end, she nodded with a pout.
"Alright… let's hunt some beasts…"
