Ancient Tears BloodLine-Chapter 68 - Finished: 2nd Assignment

It's the best test piece to test my lightning sphere. I conjure a small lightning sphere in my left palm within a moment. I move towards the scorpion while blocking its escape.

I need to get closer to its body to use this attack. This lightning sphere formed without any technique. So, I can't projectile it. Watching me coming closer. The Scorpion used its two front claws to attack me.

I defended it with my Black Sword. Then, I leaped to attack its head. The Scorpion didn't expect it. It used its tail instinctively to attack me. But, there is no stinger there.. So, I defended it without any worry. Soon, as I came close to its head.

I moved my left hand to place my palms on top of its head. I saw there is fear in its eyes by Sensing crackling sound made by my small lightning sphere.

"Boom..." A thundering sound echoed the whole area. Soon, a nauseating smell attacked my nose.

Its whole body got electrocuted. There is a huge hole that appeared where I placed my palm earlier. My lips curved a little. "It's obliterated the head region and followed by electrocution of the entire body." I commented in my heart.

I am satisfied by destruction results. Even though it's a small sphere. The lightning energy was quite dense. Soon, I continued my journey after it. The body is no use to me, still, I choose to store it in my storage ring.

I'm going to dispose of it in a safe location to avoid spying. I continued my journey. It didn't take more than ten minutes to solve this Class 1 Monster. Hope I can kill as much as possible in this semi-desert.

Soon, it's half an hour gone. I'm still searching for my Pseudo Monster. I didn't find any cave structure here. As far as I can see its open land and few green patches sighted here and there.

I looked at my sci-fi watch. It's half a day gone. It takes more than three hours of travel time to head back home via Red Stone City. So, I had three hours left.

In the meantime, I have to find that lizard.

I decided to change direction to the east side. At the same time, I'm being conscious of not going deep inside. Thanks to the sci-fi watch, it's working without having any glitches.

I activated my perception ability. Soon, the area of more than ten meters has covered. I can perceive all the objects inside the range. Though, it's not like actual vision.

But, I can perceive colourless shapes, patterns and its movements. I moved my eyebrows in doubt, perceiving an odd shape from a six-meter distance.

I charged towards it. "is it a rock?" I questioned in my heart. Yet, my intuition tells me to verify it. Soon, I reached that place.

"Damn!" I commented in my heart. The weight lifted off my shoulder. It is not a rock structure. It's that damn lizard. Sleeping underneath the bushes. These huge overgrown bushes provides safe heaven for it.

These bushes have grown at the same height as typical humans. Even though, it provides good cover. I am still able to find it. I waste no time to kill it. The KREMARLL LIZARD Pseudo Monster got alerted. But, it's every attempt turned vain.

I used my aura alone to stop its movements. It got startled and couldn't even move from the spot. My blood element tangled aura weighing on the lizard. Making it completely frozen.

Seeing it my lips curved a little. I aimed my lightning sphere at its head.

"Boom…" The thunderous sound reverberated the area.

Hereby, obliterating its head region. I used a very small amount of lightning power. So, that remaining part can be useful. Then, I used my storage ring to store it and retreated from the spot. But, I noticed there is a noise coming from my behind.

I used my perception to verify it. It's a team of three people moving in my direction they are ten meters away from me. They entered my perception range. So, it's become easy to find them.

Then I used my perception to find a suitable hideout. It was none other than these overgrown bushes. I moved five meters from this place and decided to observe from that spot.

I tried not to expose my presence by concealing my aura as much as possible. I turned off my perception. It's going to be troublesome if they find something wrong.

Like, I expected, a team of three members arrived at the scene. They were middle-aged warriors. Looking at their dress. I suspect they were hunters.

After knowing that, I smirked a little and continued to observe them. "Robby, did you hear from this spot?" asked one of the men.

The trio heard some loud sounds from this place. So, they decide to find out the reason for it. Robb cutting away the large bushes to clear the area. "Yeah, Boss! I heard it from this area."

Then he added, "Looking at this area. I doubt anything that has happened here. It's very clean and there is no evidence of trespassing." And last beard men said, "tch! Since, there is nothing here. Can we go and search for some other place?" The last beard guy got annoyed.

They were looking for a game deep inside the open land. But, one of their men warned them that, he heard some loud noise nearer to their location.

Then the trio decided to search for this area. Hoping to rob from other hunters. The trio's boss said, "Are you sure Robby?

The bearded guy interjected by saying, "Robby must have been imagining things. There is no one around here. On the way, we didn't come across anyone. I'm sure he misheard it." 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

Then the trio started to fight among themselves but the reality is different.

They couldn't find anything here. Soon, the trio decided to walk away from this place. I'm smiling from the start, by looking at their search operation.

From the beginning, they were quite far away from the exact spot. I used a small lightning sphere to reduce the damage. So, the pseudo Monster alone took the brunt.

There is no damage to the land and the surroundings. Looking at their back, "Before someone else comes, it's wise to leave this place." I commented in my heart. I'm on my way back to the Trezi Town's border.

Some hours later, I reached the spot. Where Air Cab dropped me down earlier. "Success!" I commented in my heart and breathed in relief that, I finished the assignment on time.

I trusted my instinct to change the direction. Otherwise, I would be wasting a lot of time by wandering here. I booked an air cab. Then I send a message to Granny and Uncle about my departure from Trezi Town.

Soon, the Air cab came arrived. Later it dropped at the Trezi Station.

Some hours later, I arrived home.

It's the evening time. I found Granny Park in the garden. She is enjoying her time by sipping tea and reading printed books. Granny Park heard footsteps from behind. She turned around and saw Zack. She said, "Looks like, It went well!" I walked towards her and took the opposite seat.

She started to pour some tea for me. It's lemon tea. My favorite one. I held the teacup and started to slip a little. I felt such freshness, like my nerves got loosened. "It's a fine tea" I complimented her.

Granny Park move her eyebrows and said, "You didn't even answer the question that I asked earlier." "Oh, It went good" I replied.

Then I explained, "Class 1 Monster doesn't pose much of a threat to Mid-level Trainee Apprentice,". After my explanation, her expression eased a little.

"It's true that. At your current level dealing with Class 1 Monster is easy. Then what about Class 2 Monster?" Granny Park asked.

Hearing that, I stopped sipping tea and looked at her. I don't have any idea about Class 2 Monster. It's completely one level above me. "What do you mean Granny? Do you want me to face Class 2 Monster?" I replied her.

"Yes, You won't learn anything by facing Class 1 Monster and don't even talk about Pseudo Monster." Granny Park told to me.

Then she said, "You better ask James for it, He can take you to the place of Class 2 Monster." She continued, "Unlike, Class 1 Monster. The Class 2 Monster had elemental abilities like warriors. It would be quite difficult to face them."

Hearing that, I nodded at her suggestion. I understood her concern. It's given that, I won't learn anything by facing them. After having two Mid-level breakthroughs. It's overkill.

After contemplating a bit. I said, "Then, I will ask Uncle James later at dinner. If he agrees, I can start from next week itself."

After seeing Zack's resolute look and firm decision. Granny became relaxed and happy. She worried that Zack might become overconfident by killing the same Class 1 Monster. So, she decided to confront him.

After having a conversation. She found Zack didn't even hesitate to face Class 2 Monster. She is glad about Zack's decision. Only by facing a tougher opponent, you can learn something and become stronger.
