The Beast was feasting on what appeared to be a humanoid creature or creatures since I could see more than 20 bodies there, If you don't include the bodies already feasted upon, I could tell there were more limbs scattered than the body count.
It was a goblin-like humanoid creature, The creature has green, leathery skin and sharp, pointed ears. Its eyes glow with an eerie yellow light, and it wears tattered, earthy-colored clothing made from vines and other flora unique to the cavern as it was feasted upon by a deer-like beast. The flames of the deer-like beast casting long shadows, In the background. faint whispers can be heard, adding to the mysterious and slightly ominous atmosphere. Emphasizing the fact that some of monsters were still alive albeit barely. The scene captures a sense of intrigue and the unknown.
Judging by the countless bodies It must have been a monster den or something and the said monster den was devastated, destroyed and devoured. Depicting a dramatic and intense scene of a deer-like creature with antler-like horns and a muscular build. Its eyes fierce and focused as it devours its prey, a goblin-like humanoid creature, with sharp, predatory teeth. The larg cavern is dimly lit, from its flames, casting eerie shadows on the flat floor. The atmosphere is tense and primal, with the burning of flames all around and distant howls adding to the sense of wilderness.
"but it looks like I intrupted it's lunch time, and it's quiet pissed now by the way it's growling at me" I said.
'As they say never disrupt a beast when it feasts'
After taking another closer look It's seems to be a deer engulfed in ethereal flames, standing amidst the dark cavern. The flames are a mesmerizing blend of vibrant oranges, and blues, casting an eerie glow on the surrounding rugged walls, with shadows dancing across the ground. The deer's expression is one full of rage, its eyes reflecting the flickering murderous intent. The atmosphere is both tragic and mystical, evoking a sense of otherworldly beauty and dread.
Just looking around at the dead bodies one can tell that this magical beast is quiet strong and I think the same too, well what I think doesn't really matter since it's literally the first living creature I've encounter.
But.. how do I say this... I've only one way to put it "Weak"
Because I don't feel threatened at all by this magical beast, And that is because there are nine ranks of magical beast and every rank is further divided into four levels and it's a Rank three beast. While I don't know exactly how stronge I am but my rank is definitely above this beast.
He knew all this from the memory he inherited on his birth. There are certainly nine rank of magical beast and every rank after the third is divided into four levels. Since at that rank a beast gains sentence. So the strength between a rank 3 beast and low level Rank 4 beast is like the difference between haven and earth.
"It's just glaring at me like it can't wait to gobble me up" he mused as he gazed at the beast.
"Irritating" I said, Hmm... why did I say that. I just got angry by the way it's looking at me like I am its prey or something when it's clearly not the case. If I've to measure it's strength then maybe it's one third my strength or less I don't know. I have no Battle experience or any other type of knowledge that will help me in accurately measuring it's strength or any other living creature for that matter.
Anyways, looks like the dear is out of patience since I can see it's reading some kind of long range fire type attack to fire at me. It has already crossed more than 50 meter distance between us, while I was busy in my own thoughts.
it stopped just a shy of 50 to 55 meter away from me and the moment it's antler-like horns glowed brightly it opened it's mouth to shoot a kind of fire ray at me, the attack was not fast but since my Battle experience was almost nill and I didn't know what do so I just stood there.
The moment I blinked my eyes it was already in front of me, the fire ray hit me square in the chest. I was also unable to make use of my high rank to dodge the attack.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhjjjjjj..."
I was also quiet curious as to see what would happen if it did hit me so I didn't put up any defenses. Well I don't know how to put up any defense would be the correct way to put it but we don't have to talk about that now do we since I am still regretting the fact of not dodging the attack or putting up any defenses to block it. Even if I knew the fact that I couldn't do both of the action I am regretting about because of my close to zero or zero point Battle experience.
So when the attack did hit me square in the chest, I was thrown back like rag doll and hit the wall, then slumped to the ground creatinga cloud of dust and debris,Then came the pain. Something that would be one of the most embarrassing moment of my life in the....
It was the first time I felt something or a sensation like that and I don't want to feel it again never ever.
" Ahhhh it hurts..... haaaa... ho.. hurts.... this beast will not die an easy death.... haaa..." I said as I grasped for breath.
I got up from the rubbles and looked down where the fire had hit me, precisely at my chest as it had became completely chraised black, well it was already quiet black so the difference was rather negligible and it was already more that 90 percent healed and as I watched it got completely healed in no time.
It was a thrilling fact that my regenerative abilities were also quiet good but again I was in no mood to think about it, since I was rather disoriented because of the pain and the fact that my pain tolerance is similar to a child dose not help it either.
It still hurts hhaaaa....
Then I looked straight at the beast, my eyes burning with a fury so deep that the darkness around me become more darker almost abyssal, creating a malevolent and eerie atmosphere.
Senseing the change in the surrounding the beast was filled with the feeling of dread and terror, suddenly felling like a strong predator has locked it's eyes upon it. It could not understand why it was felling like this but when he looked at the being it had just attacked with its species techniques as well as it's Strongest techniques and thought had killed already.
He was overwhelmed by a fear so deep that it evolved into dispar. He was paralysed, he couldn't move a single inche.As a rank 3 beast it's intelligence was almost negligible but it still had its instincts to depend on so it knew that the being was strong, so it used it's Strongest move, it's species techniques but why was the being still alive and not dead. This were the beast last thought before it's death. It didn't even know how it died, It was a painless and swift death.
how can a rank 3 beast who has not encountered a beast stronger that it be able to accurately tell how stronge the being it had tried to kill was.
