*Grrr...*
*clang* *clang*
*Pearse* *Slash*
*Thud...* *Thud...* *Thud...* *Thud...* *Thud...*
"These Goblin-Ox are really quite difficult to kill because of there strong hide, Black. It is difficult for my Poison Mist to invade there bodies too". Zephyr mumbled, sulking cutely.
As she finally pearsed the heart of there Leader from behind...
*Pearse...* *Grrrr...*
Then beheading the Orc-Ox with her sword-like improvised weapon as she landed on the earth.
*Slash* *thud* *spray*
The Orc head landed on the ground near her, the Ox body spraying blood all over like a fountain as it too fell on the ground.
Zephyr covered in blood looked at Black. Her scarlett eyes sparkling.
Black was standing on the side, leaning against the Giant Tree Roots as he observed Zephyr's Battle against 9 Goblin-Ox Monster and there Leader.
Apparently, just as there name implies they were a Hybrid of Magical Beast and Monsters with the lower body of an Ox and the upper body of a Goblin just like Centaurs, furthermore they didn't have any special abilities yet physically they were very strong and instead of normal arms they had sword-like arms about 2 meters in length and the Orc-ox had a 3 meter long Giant sword-like arms with a 4 meter tall body.
They mostly used these arms in there battel, which allowed for better range making them much more leathel as they mostly hunted in a group of 7 to 10.
Nevertheless, they were quiet grotesque in appearance, well at least for Black they were since as a Progenitor he hated Hybrid's.
Meanwhile at Zephyr's sudden question, Black finally came out of his thoughts as he looked at the dead Monster bodies.
"Yeah.. I can see that, but you still killed them in 15 second, didn't you. Compared to 2 days ago when it had taken you almost double the time. You sure had improved in these past 2 days Zephyr. I'm quite proud of you... haha.. " Black uttered with a light chuckle and a small smile as he examined the massacre Zephyr had performed.
The unfortunate Hybrid monsters were killed in a poor, savage even brutal manner.
The sword Zephyr was using was also the hand of the Orc-ox they had killed 2 days ago. It was an 8 foot long or 2.5 meters long Giant Sword-like hnad, still worked quite well as an improvised weapon.
She had one and he too had one.
Nevertheless Black didn't feel any pity for them, since they were mindless Monsters to began with and even if they had intelligent he would've simply thought. 'it was there fortune that they got butchered by Zephyr, they should be thankful of her for taking there miserable lives...' and would've brushed the matter aside completely disregarding them.
He wasn't joking when he said he was proud of her after all.
"Hehe.. of course I've improved a lot since then and I'm quite close to reaching the Accomplished Mastery Level in my poisen mist too!! ~ " at being praised by Black, Zephyr giggled like a young maidan.
Well, if you don't include the part that her young body was totally covered in scarlett-blood both dried and fresh like she just had a good soak in the underworld's river of blood itself.
Apparently in the past seven days after leaving the small cave both Black and Zephyr had hunted, killed, and even devoured so many monsters, magical beast even spirit that both of them were now totally covered in dried and fresh blood of the slain creature's.
The air around them reeked of — Slaughter!! Massacre!! Even Bloodlust!!.
Furthermore in the start after leaving there small cave they were frequently attacked by the mindless creature living in this section of the middle-layers of the giant, massive even gargantuan underground caverns.
Additionally the fights on the first day were quiet brutal too since they had no battle experience, no battle awareness, and didn't even know how to utilize there abilities properly.
Therefore, on the first day just winning against these savage, brutal creature's who only fought using there instincts was a challenge for Zephyr and Black.
Moreover at that time both of them finally learned just how weak they were! that even against mindless creature who were at the same time weaker than them, they had to struggle before managing to kill them.
However that weakness bred determination —
A will to become the predator instead of pray —
Hence at that time they learned the meaning of strength — they learned that weakness ment death in this world.
Therefore they fought for there survival as well as to become stronge —
To become the predator —
To hunt instead of being hunted —
Furthermore just who were they, one was literally A Progenitor — dubbed as the beginning of a whole Race!! It's Very Creator!! The All-Father.
Then the other was the First Born of the said Race — The First Child!! The Primordial!!.
Just the potential they carried was immeasurable!!.
Henceforth, just within the next 12 hours 'they' — started hunting the monsters!! searching!! killing!! even slaughtering!!.
Both Black and Zephyr became the incarnation of death itself and wreaked the whole section in blood and gore!!.
Therefore after 3 days of hunting —
Even though mindless — the beast!! the spirits!! the monsters started avoiding them like a plague. As a direct result they also bought there hunting spree a notch down.
"But I could've killed them in seconds if I had used my Soul Poison since these mindless Monsters don't have any spiritual defenses to began with." Zephyr mumbled while her cheeks were puffed out cutely at him — pouted, upset!!.
Since Black had told her to not use her Soul Poison and Zephyr would never do something Black told her not to because she didn't want Black to hate her.
Meanwhile at seeing her pouty and upset face Black just sighed inwardly yet her still started petting her head trying convince her again not to use her soul poisen.
"Zephyr, I've already told you so many times in these past few days not to use your Soul Poison during battles since you can't control it properly yet and there is a risk of you damaging you own soul with it and — " But before he could continue Zephyr cut him mid-sentence.
"Yes, I know, I know.. hehe.. I can't use my Soul Poison ability until I have managed to achieve the Accomplished Mastery Level in it. You don't have to repeat it Black hehe!! ~ " Zephyr giggle. She couldn't help it.
She loves it whenever Black get's all worried for her!! Becoming so protective!!.
"its just that my poison works slowly in it's mist form, but had a wider range that's why it took me 15 sec. Instead of 1 or 2 second if I had used my Soul Poison. Just you wait Black, I'll surely increase the potency of my poison mist too.. somehow!!." Zephyr promised while silently enjoying the petting Black was giving her.
"Haha... Alright forgot about that and help me take out there magical core before they also get currepted because of the currepted magical energy here!!." Saying that he already started butchering the monsters to collect there core.
Since he didn't want them to get currepted too. After killing so many beast he did learn about why the creature's here were mindless. It had something to do with the currepted magical energy present here.
As for the origin of this currepted magical energy neither he knew nor his Partial-Omniscint did.
Meanwhile, Black and Zephyr completely butchered the 10 monsters and retrieved there magical cores in just 2 minutes.
"I can't believe just how tasty these are Black, I just can't wait to find and kill a creature with a higher rank core.. I wonder just how amazing it would taste.. hehe!! ~ " Zephyr uttered while she looked at the rank 3 core with a dreamy look, practically drooling.
"Yeah.. After the Ox meat its the best thing I've ever eaten.. " Black said as he directly ate a normal core, it was only about half a finger long Anyway.
"Hmn... so good!!." He moaned in delight.
The taste of these Core's was really unique, every Core tasted different from other. Some juicy, some creamy some even tasted crunchy.
While the higher rank core even tasted both juicy and crunchy.
However they had never gotten ahold of a rank 4 core in all the creature's they killed since most of them had a Normal Core and only the stronger ones or the pack leader, had a Perfect Core or a Rank 3 Core.
"Black.. no fair, share some of them with me too!! ~ " Zephyr ran towards Black since apparently Black harvested more core this time.
"Haha.. don't worry I won't be eating them alone, you can take it.. and we'll share the rank 3 core alright!!." Black spoke, chuckling, petting Zephyr who already ate her three normal cores —
