[Ace POV],

After eliminating two level 2 monsters, a monster cat and a monster dog, the total number of monsters was reduced from 12 to 10.

I nocked another arrow on the bow as I turned around and ran, not pausing to think.

It was at this point that I truly noticed the changes in my body, as this was the first time I had moved and used my entire body since the level-up.

As I ran around the monsters, circling them so they didn't get too close, I realized that the intense battle I was expecting might not happen because, based on the small movements both parties made, I and the monsters, especially the level three ones, had similar physical capabilities.

I noticed some changes back then, such as my muscles tightening, having more energy, and a stronger body, and it was only now that I realized how leveling up had changed my body.

Am roughly three times my former strength.

Though these thoughts were racing through my mind, my body was not idle as I shot my third arrow at a level three monster without using the spell gem to cast a gale spell because I knew whatever was being drawn out of me was limited, but I missed by an inch.

My quiver could carry a total of ten arrows and only three have been used, reducing the total number of arrows to seven.

Running away from the monsters but not too far that I lost contact with Anna, I jumped on top of a mid-sized car close to a fence in front of me before jumping again and twisting my body in mid-air as I did a back flip as I passed the fence and entered the other side.

Running forward with all my strength, I came to a halt a short distance away from the fence as I immediately nocked an arrow to my bow and used the spell gem to cast a gale spell on the arrow and shot at the exact moment a level three Crocotta dog jumped the fence after me.

There was no need to aim that well because the monster's body was quite large and there was no way it could have dodged a fast and lethal attack it was not expecting, so all it could do was watch helplessly as the arrow went through its body.

Ignoring the dog's corpse, I nocked another arrow without wasting time as I waited for the other monsters so I could use the same tactic I just used on this monster on them, with all the arrows shot having a gale spell cast on them.

After exhausting whatever was being drawn inside of me whenever I used the spell gem, I was only able to shoot down 4 monsters after the last one died, meaning a total of 7 monsters died from my attacks, leaving 5 remaining, and at this point, I was basically someone with a gun but no bullet in comparison to the part where I had a bow but no arrow to shoot.

If I had the arrows before the fight, I might have been able to shoot more arrows with the gale spell added to them, but after using what I assume was my own mana to make arrows, the gale arrows I could shoot at most were 5, and I used them all.

In front of me were 5 cats and yes, I was somehow only able to kill the dogs first.

1 level three, 1 level two, and 3 level ones vs. me would appear to be a hopeless situation, but I was not as I ran forward in their direction.

Seeing this, they all ran in my direction, clearly intending to attack me.

I only attacked when I was just a few meters away from them.

Stopping my movement, I quickly drew the DMX-367 DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN from my storage ring and held it with both hands as I shot the monsters.

I was only able to kill all of the monsters after shooting seven times.

To be honest, this fight was much easier than the one with the Asmodeus Serpent.

? 'Perhaps it's because I'm better equipped,' I reasoned as I approached the monster's corpse but saw no orb.

Whatever color the orbs are, it appears that they are rare treasures it seems.

I didn't want to give up, so I ran toward the fence, jumped, and used my hand to support my body as I landed on the previous car. I then moved toward the corpse of the other monster while searching for anything resembling an orb.

I eventually found a white orb, but that was all I saw, confirming my suspicions that orb drops are rare, or that the monsters that were the same level as I were less likely to drop one.

Looking around to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything, I rushed to Anna's location because I wasn't sure if a monster would be drawn to this location because of the event that occurred here, especially since I used a gun.

I called out Anna's name when I was a few meters away from where I had left her as she poked her head out a little and only came out when she saw who had called.

I had a question for her when she emerged;

"Why didn't you do anything to assist me?" I inquired, and she simply pointed to the sky without responding.

Curious, I raised my head and noticed something completely unexpected.

I noticed dozens of crows circling us in the sky, and when Anna made a gesture with her hand, the crows in the dark and rainy sky suddenly merged and became one as it approached us.

I was about to ask how it all happened when she interrupted me and said,

"I saw that you didn't need help, so I saved my energy. I also discovered something you might be interested in, and I found some people nearby," she said.
