I have to hypnotize you, Aura!

Fingel suddenly became alert—he immediately turned around, holding a cheap longsword worth ten or twenty thousand erys, and looked at the distant forest.

It's a new ability he's acquired!

[Level 2 Danger Sense!]

[A monster is approaching!]

Within a month, he worked sporadically, yet still managed to raise his level to twelfth and learn several spell skills, as well as functional passive skills, such as Danger Sense!

"Heh... As expected... there's something there."

Fingel lowered his body slightly, and small muscle bundles trembled slightly, indicating that he was exerting force. It was easy, but carelessness would be bad - in Warcraft, a few particularly cunning things might appear and mess with you, and it was hard to defend against them.

'clairvoyance!'

He thought to himself, this is one of his favorite skills.

At that moment, Fingel's pupils contracted sharply, his field of vision widened, and it was as if the whole world had been turned into a high-definition version. He could even see things like an ant carrying crumbs from his snacks.

'found it! ’

Fingel saw it. In the green bushes, a creepy black shadow moved cautiously, like a giant holding a glass the size of a finger, as if afraid of accidentally scaring the glass to death.

Finally—there, hidden among the lush greenery, Fingel's eyes met those of the monster—black, greedy eyes.

Make eye contact is a magical thing; even in a sea of ​​people, a single glance is enough to confirm each other's presence.

Yes, they discovered each other's presence, and then, the next second-------------

"Roar!!!!!!!!!!"

A terrifying roar that pierced the eardrums rang out, and a huge black figure burst out from the grass and trees. It was at least one or two stories tall, and when it stood up, it looked like a small mountain. Its sharp claws seemed to reflect a metallic gleam in the sunlight.

It's a monster bear!

However, it seemed a bit foolish, naively believing that its enormous body could be hidden in the bushes, and Fingel instantly discovered its presence using his far-seeing eyes.

"One-hit kill on a bear? Good heavens, how can something like this appear in the newbie village? Who the hell gave me this quest to clear wild boars and collect pitcher plants? You think I, Cao Sini, don't believe it?!"

Fingel cursed under his breath, thinking that anyone else would have already started over, but he was the only one who didn't care.

He quickly recalled memories of the One-Strike Bear—a rather dangerous wild magical beast with a history of injuring and eating people, whose physical defense was so strong that it was immune to most low-level physical attacks.

In particular, its single-strike characteristic is intended to demonstrate its immense power; if left unchecked, it could smash the gate of a small city with a single claw!

To defeat this kind of monster, you generally need to gather at least five well-equipped adventurers, all with an average level of 25 or higher, to fight it! Even then, there's still a chance of casualties!

'A bunch of idiots... I won't accept anything less than two million Eris when we get back.'

Fingel's eyes narrowed slightly. Its [Danger Perception] ability told it how dangerous this thing was; in terms of pure attack strength alone, it was already extremely powerful.

Wouldn't it leave you covered in bruises if you were hit?

"roar!!!!!'

Once discovered, the bear stopped hiding—its fierce eyes revealed a human-like glint, and the next moment it simply abandoned its disguise, the whole bear suddenly began to run on all fours, letting out terrifying howls.

'Eat him! Eat him!'

Hunger made the bear even more frenzied; its heavy body ran like a tank, and the earth seemed to tremble at that moment.

"Roar!!!!"

One second, two seconds... three seconds!!!

In just three seconds, in the complex forest environment, the bear leaped forward as if walking on flat ground, covering a distance of twenty or thirty meters in an instant, and arrived next to its prey.

A dark figure instantly enveloped Fingel, carrying overwhelming killing intent, ready to pounce on him in the next second.

"oh oh!"

Fingel looked at it with some surprise. The powerful sense of oppression made his heart race, as if he would face a death crisis at any moment.

boom!

The next second, the bear slammed down and successfully pinned its prey to the ground!

boom! ! ! !

With a powerful swing of its claws, a huge hole was punched into the trunk of a nearby tree, which was as thick as half a person. The tree was sent flying like mud, and a large amount of dust and debris filled the air.

success!!

"Roar!"

The bear roared with joy; since adulthood, no creature had survived a single slap from it.

However, it fell silent the next moment. The feeling of its chest not pressing down on its prey made it lower its head and look at the ground with some confusion.

'No?'

Unable to understand why it hadn't pounced on its prey, a mocking 'human voice' suddenly came from above, leaving the bear bewildered.

"Idiot... You think you can hide when you're that big? Even without skills, I could spot you."

next second...

This black bear, which had once killed countless monsters and even humans, heard the judgment from death.

"boring."

"go to hell."

Fear! Horror!

The bear's heart pounded wildly as a feeling known only in childhood, called 'fear,' surged back into his mind, instantly permeating all his thoughts.

Will die, will die!

They'll get eaten!!!

It felt as if it was being targeted by a more powerful and terrifying creature!

They didn't want to resist, they just wanted to escape—but it was too late.

!!!

Fingel, who had appeared on the tree trunk directly above at some unknown time, looked at the black bear with icy eyes.

'A multiple of sixteen...!'

Time stands still here!

"boom!!!!!!!!"

Like a missile, a blade of light carrying black and red flames and lightning shot out in an instant, striking the black bear's back with a terrifying roar that echoed throughout the entire forest.

"Pfft!"

Like a smashed watermelon, blood-red juice and disgusting entrails flew everywhere—Fingal swiftly lifted his cloak to shield himself, and immediately the sound of flesh and blood hitting cloth crackled and popped.

Finally, after a long, bloody downpour, Fingel, still shaken, tore off his cloak and threw it on the ground, staring at the blood-red mess.

"Ugh...that's disgusting."

Fingel covered his nose, his disgusted look undisguised.

'And...this knife is ruined too, right?'

He glanced at his knife; the blade, tempered by flames and lightning, was tattered and battered, resembling a long knife twisted into a folding screen after being repeatedly crushed and twisted by an excavator a dozen times.

What could he do? As his strength returned, Fingel discovered that ordinary weapons could no longer withstand his power, so to save money, he started buying cheap weapons to get by.

Forget it, just throw it away.

Fingel tossed the longsword to the ground, then casually pulled a glowing card from the pocket at his waist.

"Upgraded!"

He looked at his card with some delight; it displayed his adventurer information.

Fingel Fowles

[Occupation: Magician]

[Level: 15!]

[Remaining skill points: 8]

【技能：‘lv2危险感知魔法’‘lv1千里眼’‘lv1电击’‘lv1风刃‘’lv1水球术’‘lv1土墙术’.....】

"I leveled up three times! And gained eight points. High-level magical beasts really do have potential!"

Fingel's frustration at encountering a high-level magical beast vanished instantly, and he leveled up three times!

He felt that more than half of the magic power he had been depleting had been restored, and even his physical condition had recovered by a small percentage.

'This thing is so convenient!'

He nodded in satisfaction, preparing to return to the city to confront the client. But after thinking it over, Fingel decided to take the bear's head back to scare the client; damn it, not paying wouldn't solve the problem!

Otherwise, Cao family! No, kill them! Slaughter them for what they bought.

Although he wasn't afraid of these magical beasts, Fingel didn't like to suffer losses.

'Go to the guild and ask the waiter for the employer's information first.'

.................

Upon arriving at the guild, Fingel found the gazes around him even colder than before.

'What happened?'

He looked at the adventurers in the guild with a puzzled expression. Those troublemakers had already been beaten into silence by him, so what was wrong with them today? Who gave them the courage?

Fingel looked at one of the men—a man who always wore half-body heavy armor when he went out. To the untrained eye, he would look like a powerful warrior, but in reality, he was a blacksmith.

The two had a good relationship, and because of the weapons, Fingel often patronized their shop.

'What's wrong? ’

Fingel tentatively nodded at him, but... the guy shook his head at him instead.

? ? ? ? ?

What's this guy doing?

Fingel was stunned. Did this man think they were telepathically connected? It couldn't be that bad.

Especially when he saw the other guild adventurers, that guy named Duster grinning lewdly at him, it gave him the creeps.

'Forget it, I can't be bothered with these lunatics.'

Fingel arrived at the front desk and saw Luna—she was smiling broadly as she answered a female adventurer's questions with a staff, but when she saw him, Luna's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Um...sorry, I'm fine now, you can continue."

The female magician sensed danger in the air and immediately ran away, leaving Fingel with a face full of confusion.

'Um... what happened?'

Fingel looked up in confusion, only to see Luna smiling again—but that smile looked icy no matter how you looked at it.

The gazes of the other adventurers around them also became complicated; it was... murderous intent! That's right!

"Hey! Luna!" He looked at Luna with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong, everyone? Did something happen today?"

"Hello, scumbag, there's nothing new happening in the guild today."

Luna smiled at Fingel, her tone kind.

"???"

Scumbag?

Why am I saying this?

Fingel looked completely bewildered. What had happened?

"Um...did I do something wrong?"

He simply asked directly.

[Luna has some doubts about you!]

[Luna's favorability -10!]
