It has been weeks since my first hunts and I've accumulated a lot of EXP, now after killing these two Imps, I gained 800 EXP very easily. I suppose Demons are the go-to prey I should have always aimed to.
However, I believe that if I had gone seeking them before, I might have died. I have definitely grown stronger from those first days I hunted Gray Wolves. If I had gone against Imps, I might have not been able to properly hunt them, even more as Eleanora wasn't with me.
Now, I need 2400 more EXP to finally level up to Level 1 and see what can happen after leveling. I know from my father and what I had investigated that people that levels up, which they call "Blessings" grow stronger physically and magically.
I don't know if anyone has the same type of level cap as I do, it might be different with each person. I've also heard that Talents can "awaken" and enhance themselves over gaining many Blessings… but that's a discussion for another day.
"There is a few walking towards here!"
Elenora quickly alerted me of the presence of more demons, there was a trio walking directly towards here, probably curious about having heard the screams of their comrades, we did a bad job at trying to cover their screams.
"Yeah, I heard them, let's hide." I said.
We quickly hid behind a tree and waited for the trio to reach the place.
I purposedly left the two heads of the imps on the floor. The demons quickly sensed the scent and flew towards them.
They seemed scared and looked around fearfully.
Without realizing it, they had already stepped over a circle made of Eleanora's Blood Thread.
"Fufu… Fools, you've stepped just in our trap." She smiled.
With a gentle pull of her hands, the Blood Threads tightened right around the Imps legs, suddenly wrapping themselves around their foot and lifting them off the ground.
In a second, the Imps ended being held upside down while Eleanora used the Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience.
They screamed in surprise, as they quickly tried to cut the threads desperately. But I already had them within my grasp. I grabbed the big and hard stones I had collected inside of my bag and pointed them at one of the heads of the imps upside down.
It was moving very fast all around, but my precision and throwing speed had been enhanced even more now that the Skill itself have reached Level 2.
This is the power of the mere Throwing Technique!
I launched the stone towards the Imp's head, which moved almost as fast as a bullet.
The stone hit the Imp's head, leaving a large wound on its head. Blood spurred everywhere, as the Imp began to scream in pain, it probably received a contusion as it was now trying to speak but not even words came out, only groans.
The other two Imps looked at it with horror, not desiring the same fate as their friend.
Another stone quickly finished their friend off, as I gathered air in my lungs once more, doing a basic breathing technique to stabilize my body's balance.
Another stone quickly flew towards a second, who tried to evade but ended up causing the one hiding behind it to be hit by the stone instead, its forehead was blown away as its eyes seemed to distort by the pain.
That one suddenly fell unconscious, it died on the spot.
I looked at the last Imp who was trembling in fear, it suddenly managed to take a knife it had, and cut down the thread made of blood that Eleanora had made.
The creature quickly fell to the floor.
Eleanora gritted her teeth in anger, making a new thread would use some Mana again, she felt like it would be a waste against just a single enemy.
"Eleanora, let's surround it!" I said.
"Understood!" she said.
Eleanora and I rushed towards the Imp, whose reflexes were nothing to scoff at. Filled with fear and the drive to survive, its body began to quickly pump adrenaline through its blood stream.
The Imp roared angrily as its ears released steam, demonic energy gathered from within its chest as its knife suddenly was coated by a red aura.
The Imp reached us in a flashy and speedy manner, faster than one would expect from them after I´ve slain four of them so easily. Imps were actually strong, I had been defeating them easily with cheap tactics, but an upfront fight one is not something as easy.
Nonetheless, I wasn't one that shied away from a challenge, even when I was smaller than the Imp itself, who was around a meter and twenty centimeters.
He looked down on us with a desperate anger, as its knife quickly tried to reach me.
By infusing Qi around my body, especially my arms and legs, I intercepted the Imp with my spear.
The Imp angrily roared in my face; its disgusting breath covered my face as I made a disgusted expression. I quickly moved faster than it imagined a boy of my age could, as I kicked its legs and made it trip.
I quickly pointed the spear towards its head, but the Imp managed to roll away over the ground from my attack, which only reached the floor and got slightly stuck in an old tree trunk.
The three seconds that it took me to take away the spear from the tree trunk were enough for the speedy demon, as it leaped over me while pointing its knife to my face.
However, another figure emerged behind it while it lowered its guard from back attacks, Eleanora came with a strong hit to its crotch, a kick using her sharp heels.
The Imp gave a loud cry of agony.
