Chapter 32: Fighting Another Uncommon Beast
Seeing its own kin getting slaughtered, the Elder Black Wildcat became angry. It bared its fang while releasing out 'grrhhh' sound that indicating its fury to the man in the front because he's slaughtered its own kin. Even though this Elder Black Wildcat fury at its limit but it didn't attack rashly to the man who slaughtered its own kin.
Randy also didn't attack the Elder Black Wildcat, he watches carefully the Uncommon Beast in front him. Last time when he fought against Queen of Demonic Rabbit, a beast with Uncommon Grade his sword can't penetrate Queen of Demonic Rabbit skin. He doesn't know if his sword can penetrate the Uncommon Beast in front him this time but, based on his stat now, even though his sword can't penetrate the skin of Elder Black Wildcat but still could injure the Elder Black Wildcat in front of him, at least this is what he thinks.
Seeing that the man in front of it only staring at itself, the Elder Black Wildcat patience reach the limit. Elder Black Wildcat rushed toward Randy with speed almost 2 times faster than Common Black Wildcat.
Seeing this, Randy didn't panic instead this is what he waiting for. Yes, Randy waiting for the Elder Black Wildcat attacked him so he could estimate how strong the Elder Black Wildcat.
In few second the Elder Black Wildcat already arrived in front of Randy with its claw and opened mouth that intends to bite at Randy.
Actually with his stat now Randy could dodge Elder Black Wildcat attack but he didn't. He wanted to measure how strong the Elder Black Wildcat so he could estimate how strong Elder Black Wildcat so he decided to parry Elder Black Wildcat. Even though he knew that Elder Black is weaker than him but he still did so. His motto when hunting is 'Better safe than sorry'.
Randy parried Elder Black Wildcat attack with his sword. Randy firm stood where he was, meanwhile the Elder Black Wildcat bounced 7 meters back. Randy guessed right that Elder Black Wildcat is far weaker than him and now his turn to attack.
Randy rushed with very fast speed to the Elder Black Wildcat which just stood up. With his stat he has now, he believes that this Elder Black Wildcat would die in one hit. He concluded like this after he parried the attack from it but, to his surprise, the Elder Black Wildcat still be able to dodge his attack.
But still, the Elder Black Wildcat got hit in its left eye. Blood pouring from the wound making the appearance of Elder Black Wildcat more ferocious, the Elder Black Wildcat kept staring Randy after he managed to injured it. Randy could tell that from the glare of Elder Black Wildcat, the gaze full of fury and hatred.
They kept staring each other for a couple minutes.
Then suddenly something unexpected that shocked Randy happen, the Elder Black Wildcat vanished from where it stood then appear in from Randy with its mouth wide open that intend to bite at his neck.
Randy could not react by this sudden attack and his neck getting bitten by Elder Black Wildcat. Elder Black Wildcat fang penetrated Randy skin with 1 cm deep.
Felt pain on his neck, Randy immediately reacted by swung his sword to the body of Elder Black Wildcat, because it feels the threat from Randy attack and it could not penetrate deeper at Randy skin it immediately let go Randy's neck and retreated to dodge from Randy attack.
Randy check his neck with his hand after the Elder Black Wildcat retreated, his heart beating so fast and even he could hear his heartbeat. He thought he will die from this attack, fortunately, that Elder Black Wildcat only managed to penetrated 1 cm deep in his skin, maybe this is because he has high stat in Vitality that Elder Black Wildcat only managed to penetrated 1 cm deep.
Randy didn't know how the Elder Black Wildcat suddenly vanished and appeared in front him. No, it's actually not vanished but its speed becomes very fast, Randy managed to catch glimpse shadow of the Elder Black Wildcat rushed toward him, but it was very fast; faster than his speed.
Luckily the Elder Black Wildcat only level 8 beast, Luckily that Elder Black Wildcat is beast with a low stat, Luckily he got [Chaos Dragon Essence Blood] and had high stat after Bloodline Transformation, if not then he will be bitten to death by this Elder Black Wildcat.
Randy gripped his sword firmly and prepared if Elder Black Wildcat will use the same move as before.
Then Elder Black Wildcat disappeared again, no it does not disappear but move with very fast speed. Randy managed to catch the glimpse of shadow the Elder Black Wildcat but late to react to the attack. This time its target is Randy' right shoulder, Randy tried to fend off the attack from Elder Black Wildcat by swinging his sword to its mouth and he succeeds in blocking the attack. This what Randy thought, the fact is even Randy managed to block its mouth but its claw still free, Elder Black Wildcat attack Randy with its claw to Randy's left shoulder but, it didn't injure Randy and only left behind a red mark on Randy's left shoulder.
Elder Black Wildcat retreated after its attack failed to injure Randy, meanwhile Randy felt relieved that he managed to block its mouth.
Then he looks at Elder Black Wildcat and he becomes even more relieved because he sees it look like exhausted after attacked Randy twice with that move, Elder Black Wildcat gasp for breath in hurried. Seeing this, Randy immediately rushed toward Elder Black Wildcat with basic sword move Stab.
Randy only managed to hit its leg but Randy keep attacking, attack after attack Randy launched. Finally in the fifth attack, Randy managed to kill Elder Black Wildcat. Even though this Elder Black Wildcat didn't exhaust Randy but it managed to shock him with its very fast speed that faster than him.
Then he started to collect Black Wildcat carcasses on the ground but just he wants to pick up one of the Black Wild carcasses, he heard Shana speak in a hurried tone.
"Master, Master go to Elder Black Wild carcass first and take its heart then save it in your System Storage"
listened to Shana's word, Randy feel weird and ask Shana,"Why take its heart out?"
"Just do what I said, later I will tell you the details" Shana replied.
Randy didn't understand what Shana meant but he still does what she said, he walks toward Elder Black Wildcat carcass that just died and use his sword to dug out its heart and save it to System Storage.
"Done, now tell me why I should dig out its heart?" Randy asked Shana.
"Later when we back to East City, we should buy special vial in first before going home and you will know" Shana replied with a smile.
Randy shakes his head when he heard Shana reply, he knew that when she answered like that; she really will not tell him even though he kept asking her. So, Randy didn't ask Shana anymore and start to collect the Black Wildcat carcasses that scattered on the ground.
When he finished collect Black Wildcat carcasses, the sky getting dark that indicating him its time to go home.
Randy walk back to Jakarta City after 10 minutes walk he meet 5 people wore bronze-colored full armor and their sword on their waist. Based on the shape sword, Randy know this is Japanese sword, Katana and in their armor back there is picture Samurai Helmet and in the behind of helmet, there are two swords crossing each other. (note: here the picture for Samurai Helmet if you guys don't know https://www.123rf.com/photo_31576543_samurai-helmet-kabuto-japanese-childrens-day-.html )
Look like they just walked out from Jakarta City and headed toward the forest. Randy admired this 5 man, they dare to hunt in the night, he got them wrong because later, this 5 man see Randy and they approach him, ask him in an arrogant tone,"Hey you, did you see woman and man like couple hanging around in this area?"
And another man chimed in,"The man has blue eyes with short hair and the woman has purple eyes with dark long hair?"
It seems the man this 5 man looking for is Kojiro who met him yesterday while the woman Randy didn't know but maybe the woman they looking for is Asuka and Randy also heard that Asuka mumbled "Is this the man Yoshiteru ordered to hunt us down?" when they met him.
It seemed Kojiro and Asuka are running away from this 5 man because Kojiro and Asuka regarded him as a friend its impossible for him to tell them that he met with their target yesterday.
"I didn't," Randy replied calmly.
After hearing Randy reply this 5 man immediately walk away from Randy and walk deeper into the forest and Randy hear that one of them speak.
"From our source said that they see that two ingrate in this forest...."
"I already did what I can, the rest depend on their luck," Randy said in his heart.
Then he continues to walk toward Jakarta City.
