From MC's perspective:
I waited for half an hour but still, there was no sign of the dean. I should be doing training right now. But Laverne's situation is urgent. Don't know what will happen? If I postpone this matter.
When I was lost in thoughts.
Creak~
The door opened automatically.
"She is here," A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. I was worried that she might not come. But fortunately, the trouble is solved.
Then I walked into the room. Dean heaved a sigh of relief before turning towards me.
"What made you wait so long?" Rebecca asked. Then she asked Zack to take a seat.
Before answering, I sat opposite her. Then I started to explain what Laverne conveyed to me.
A few minutes later,
"Such a thing has happened?" Rebecca frowned.
She knows about Azure City. According to the rules, the Blevins family should not target others. The matter of success is a natural process.
There is no need to go to such a length to kill someone. Because no one is standing against the Blevins Family succession.
The academy was already on the Blevins Family side. After pondering, she turned to Zack.
She said, "Well, I'll talk to Laverne. Then I'll send the faction head to investigate the matter"
"Faction Head?" I raised my eyebrows. She was right. Normally the Faction Head was responsible for their well-being.
So it's Carlos Kent's responsibility to solve this issue. But that guy is unreliable. Though Jonathan told me that he won't make any move against me.
But it's not guaranteed that he would help Laverne.
Rebecca saw the troubled expression of Zack. Then she realized the mistake in her words. The Special Faction Head had a bad relationship with the trio.
He had once sent them on a death mission. Rebecca got black lines on her forehead. About Carlos' action, she discussed it with the Supreme Elder.
But the result was not satisfactory. The supreme elder didn't feel any need to punish or monitor Carlos Kent.
"Alright, I'll ask other faction heads for help," Rebecca said.
A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. Then I decided to leave. I have wasted too much time waiting. It's time to leave.
But before doing that, I heard the next question from the dean.
"Prepare yourself. There will be internal competition starting next week," Rebecca said.
Hearing that I nodded at her before leaving the room.
A few minutes later,
I stepped out of the building. I finally felt relaxed. Laverne's trouble was solved. I'm sure the dean will handle it smoothly.
After pushing down these thoughts, I head to the teleportation tower. Looks like today's hunting time will be shortened.
Soon I reached the teleportation tower and walked up to the circular platform.
After selecting the server, I disappeared from the spot.
Swoosh~
When I opened my eyes. I found myself standing in the semi-arid area. The location was quite new to me.
Because in this environment monsters are scarcely found. Looking at the semi-dry land, I couldn't help but think about the experimental monster zone.
Some of the man-made monster zones are similar to this. After pushing down these thoughts, I activated my perceptual ability.
My goal was to collect higher-order monster cores. If my information was right, then this place has Class-6 Monsters. Which is equal to the SS-Elite Warrior.
Similar to the strength of the faction heads. If I encounter someone, then I would have to flee for my life.
Shaking my head, I started walking in the opposite direction. There are dangers present when walking in this open vast land.
I can easily spot the monsters. But the monsters can find me first. While walking, I keep an eye on the surroundings.
My consciousness is scanning the surroundings. I'm especially keeping an eye on the ground. Last time, a mutated worm monster caught us off guard.
Thanks to Ernest's strength, we easily fend off the monster. This time, I came here alone. But there is an advantage to this solo trip.
I can freely use my body strength and blood element techniques. I think fighting is one way to improve your physique.
Constant fighting puts the body under immense pressure. It's a good way to tap the potential. I believe sooner or later. The domain would improve further.
After a few minutes of walking, I picked up the red dots signal in my mind. Which means something dangerous is ahead of me.
I slowly started to approach the target. When I got closer, I saw a monster laying down on the ground.
[Class 5 Monster- Sharp Tooth Lizard]
This was a common monster normally spotted in this type of environment. But the strength of the monster surprised me.
I thought it was a Class-4 monster. But now looking closely, I realized the monster is a Class-5 one.
When I'm looking at the monster. The lizard monster opened its eyes. After seeing me, the monster wide opened its mouth.
Seeing that I felt a bad premonition. Then I saw a sand vortex forming in its mouth. I realized it was forming an attack.
Boom~
The monster released the sand vortex attack. A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. A powerful sand attack shot at me.
"Lightning Phantom Technique,"
The purple arcs covered my legs. The next moment, I disappeared from the spot and evaded the attack on time.
Swoosh~
I appeared a few meters away from the previous spot.
Boom~
The attack hits the empty spot. The force swept away the nearby surroundings. Dust rose from the ground.
Using this opportunity, I dashed toward the monster. When I got closer to the monster. I raised my fist to punch the monster.
The blood energy released from the bones reached my fist in a blink of an eye.
Blood Fist~
My punch hits the hard scales of the monster.
Crack~
A crack formed on the scales. But the punch was not enough to cause the damage.
Argh~
The monster let out a creepy sound. It swung its tail at me. I again used the phantom technique to evade the attack.
Swoosh~
The tail hits the empty air. The lizard monster is looking at me with reddened eyes. It's completely enraged.
"Lightning Phantom Technique," the purple arcs covered my legs. The next moment, I disappeared from the spot and appeared closer to the monster again.
Blood Fist~
I mobilized the blood energy to punch again. The punch hits the cracked scales. The next moment, the attack tore through the scales.
Pfff~
Blood spilled on the ground. This time a huge hole appeared on the monster's body.
Argh~
The Lizard monster let out an angry roar. The monster is bleeding heavily. It finds the enemy stronger than itself.
So it decides to flee. At the same time, I decided to use the lightning phantom technique.
But the problem is my lightning essence is hitting rock bottom. If I use more lightning techniques, the essence would soon hit rock bottom.
Seeing the monster running away, I decided to take the risk.
"Lightning Phantom Technique,"
A purple arc covered my legs again. I disappeared from the spot and started chasing the monster.
In a blink of an eye, I reached the monster. I appeared closer to the injury spot. Any more attacks on the injured area. The monster would collapse on the ground.
Blood Fist~
I raised my fist to attack the monster again. The blood energy is released from the bones. In a blink of an eye, the power covered my fist.
The lizard monster was alarmed. It tries to swing its tail. But before it could do that. The punch hits the injured area again.
Boom~
The Lizard monster collapsed on the ground. This time my fist completely tore through the inner organs. Even the inside bones are completely visible.
Phew~
Looking at the monster, a hint of relief flashes in my eyes. It took me a few punches to cause grave injury to the monster.
Then I saw the monster had some vitality left. I brought the black sword outside.
Puch~
I inserted the black blade into the injured spot. Blood gushes out more from the injured area. After a couple of seconds, the monster's eyes completely dimmed.
Then I started dissecting the monster's body. After a few minutes, I collected the monster core and placed the body parts in the container.
After finishing it, I didn't move away from the spot. The commotion must have attracted attention.
If I wait here, other monsters will come here.
10 minutes later,
Tremor~
I felt a tremor beneath the ground. I can feel that something is coming in my direction. I spread my consciousness around me.
A few minutes later,
I finally saw the appearance of the monster. Seeing that my mouth twitches. This is another Lizard monster. It's the Class-5 Monster as well.
But understand, the lightning essence has already dried up. Hereafter, I can only rely on the blood element method.
The Lizard monster opened its mouth to attack. I saw another sand vortex forming slowly. A hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes.
