After Nix had been circling the mountain ranges for around 5 minutes, Cain immediately detected a beast that he decided to be his first target.
[Ding! Detected a Lightning Cow, Peak-level Lord Rank Beast 10 km West ahead]
[Race: Lightning Cow]
[Attribute: High-level Lightning Element]
[Rank: Peak-level Lord Rank Beast]
[Qualification: GrandLord]
[Skills: Lightning Strike, Lightning Stomp, Lightning Ram]
[Strength]: 700,000
[Agility]: 600,000
[Health]: 650,000
[Sense]: 600,000
[Energy]: 680,000
Looking at the cow's stats, Cain was pretty confident that it was pretty easy for him to kill it.
However, since he didn't want to take too much risk as he couldn't disturb Fenix or want to activate his bloodline power to boost his stats.
He decided that this would be a perfect time to test his combat power as well as fill his experience in the meantime.
Because he thought that he also needed to rely on himself more, as he didn't want to be someone who fought behind his contracted beasts in the future.
Let alone that, technically speaking, Cain was way stronger than Nix if he ever fought seriously, it was just that he hadn't thought too much of it since he had summoned characters who were stronger than him, and he didn't need to take action himself.
Nevertheless, after he was informed by the system why it also wanted him to fill his experience, he thought about it thoroughly and decided that he wanted to master his own strength more.
The most important thing that made him do this was because he was sure that at one point in the future, he could only rely on his own strength and no one.
Unknowingly to Cain, the little fluffy creature had been watching him from above him but decided to not show himself, and it finally nodded satisfiedly at Cain when he had 100% made up his mind to learn more about his own strength and didn't want to rely on others too much.
However, Cain's next thoughts shocked the little creature, making its body almost fall over as if something stumbled its leg when it walked.
'For now, I'll just finish this quickly and worry about mastering my strength later. I've got Fenix as backup, so no need to overthink it.' Cain thought to himself.
'This guy is not locked in at all.' The fluffy creature almost stumbled mid-air, glaring at Cain in disbelief before vanishing into thin air.
Cain then instructed Nix to head towards the cow's location in the west.
The area he was in at the moment was indeed filled with lightning, as this area was known as the Lightning Veil Ridge.
Even though the name was called Ridge, it was actually almost flat as the mountain was massive, and he didn't know why it was called Lightning Veil Ridge on the map.
As Cain didn't want to bother himself with something pointless, he immediately focused himself on scanning his surroundings.
He was being cautious because when he checked the cow's information, he found that it had GrandLord qualification.
Cain then thought the worst-case scenario with the cow was being a descendant of a strong GrandLord Rank Beast.
It was not that he was scared of it, but since he was being cautious, he needed to think about a lot of possibilities that might happen.
When they were about 200 meters away, Cain saw a vast grassland ahead and noticed that in the distance, there was a big white cow around 10 meters big.
The only difference about this cow compared to a normal cow was that its horns were white-purplish, and there were lightning marks on the horns.
After scanning that it seemed there was no lightning Cow that had reached the GrandLord Rank beast nearby, Cain immediately made a plan and instructed Nix to land at a distance.
He then put Nix into the beast space before approaching the cow blatantly without hiding since the cow had noticed them too but did nothing as its attention was locked on them while eating the purple grasses on the ground.
However, when it noticed that Nix was gone and Cain was heading towards him, it immediately became wary and looked at Cain as if measuring its strength.
Sensing that Cain had only reached Low-level Lord Rank, the cow's wariness subsided, though it kept a watchful eye on him.
The reason the cow could sense Cain's rank was because he had ordered the system to remove the concealment on his rank so that the others would be able to tell his rank as long as their rank was higher than his.
When his distance was about 50 meters away from the cow, Cain directly unsheathed his sword on his waist and enveloped it with his foxfire while using only a little bit of his energy, around 1/20th or 50,000 energy stats.
Cain then pretended as if he used a lot of strength when he swung his sword before breathing haggardly, looking at the crescent moon-shaped sword energy that was engulfed in flames heading towards the cow.
Swoosh!
Looking at the incoming attack, the cow snorted before mooing and using its skill [Lightning Strike].
The lightning marks on the horns were shimmering with purplish color before they shot out a 30 cm big lightning bolt and collided with Cain's skill.
Cain immediately ran away in panic when he saw the incoming lightning that was still heading towards him after piercing through his attack.
Naturally, Cain didn't run at full speed while looking with a fearful expression at the cow for a few times as he ran away as if he was scared that the cow would go after him.
The cow was naturally irritated by the interruption and instantly chased Cain confidently when it saw that Cain was running for his life.
Cain was adapting faster and faster so that the cow couldn't catch up to him while attacking it with a little bit of his strength, as his goal was only to annoy the cow.
