In terms of age and weight, it had bigger numbers displaying the seniority however all other stats were pretty normal, the only thing that caught Shin's eyes was the intelligence stat. 

Of course, the intelligence was way too less when compared to Aella or Shin, however, their levels were quite higher at the same time in comparison.

So such high intelligence didn't make sense for such a low leveled beast, that was the first thought that crossed Shin's head.

However, when he thought about it a bit, he understood the reason for the high intelligence. Although he hadn't played that many games in his earlier life, he had indeed tried them at least once.

He had even heard some crazy game addicts saying 'Rase the intelligence stat for higher magic efficiency', or something similar.

When he thought about that and related it to the word 'Mage', which was displayed in the profile, he could finally understand the reason for higher intelligence.

"So that's what this is...", he said in a low voice but for the goblin, it sounded like thunder.

Of course, that was too much of an exaggeration but oh well, it was somewhat similar.

"Please forgive me O' Supreme One, I was just trying to get something to eat for my clan members..."

"I'm so very for offending you..."

The reason why the goblin attacked Shin was because his size was quite small. Well, if his aura wasn't being concealed, all the beasts would have run away even before approaching him and that would be the same for the goblin too, however since it was concealed, he approached with a mind in ease.

In any case, she wasn't angry at all. Probably that was because the lingering feeling of losing something was back again. That was bugging him causing him to get irritated, however, his attention was off and he didn't care about the goblin.

"Ah, it's fine, just get going...", that's all he said right after which he activated the skill to conceal his aura again.

'Ding'

[ You have used the skill Aura Control ]

[ Your aura will be concealed completely ]

And that was all, just after saying that Shin spaced out.

The goblin was confused after hearing that. For a moment he thought that SHin was lying and would hunt him the moment he started to run.

He also thought that Shin would follow him all the way to his clan and hunt all the members, however after seeing the aura practically vanishing, it gained some confidence.

*gulp*

'I am getting a chance to live so why not grab it?', right after thinking this the goblin then just went back the same way from where it had come.

Needless to say, Shin's next task was to hunt the spider after which the mission would be completed for the day, however, he had no interest to do that.

'It's weird...'

'This is probably the first time that I am not feeling any thirst for hunting...', Shin sighed.

"For some reason, I want to see Aella...", he said in a low voice.

He then took a look at the mission which was still displaying in the form of a small tab in the screen of the system.

When he thought about checking it, it enlarged and started to display.

[ Quest 96: Hunt A Teronaris ]

[ Teronaris -> A type of spider beast with eight legs. Imbued with poison ]

[ Quest Rank: B ]

[ Time Left: 00:01:25:20 ( 1 hour 25 minutes 20 seconds ) ]

[ Failure will result in a decrease in host's level by 1 ]

Another hour was still left but that didn't mean that he could slack off, but what to do, he was not in the mood.

He was just walking at the slowest speed possible.

He took a look at the navigator to see how much more he had to walk.

[ 0.9 miles to the west ]

Well, earlier 0.5 miles were left however due to the goblin he failed to go and hunt it right away.

It seemed like the spider ran away with all its might after feeling the intense aura which Shin had let out freely. Of course, it was only for few seconds thanks to which the spider didn't go that far!

"Let's wrap it up..."

Right after saying that his eyes started to shine with green light. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the spot where he was standing initially.

'Ding'

[ You have used the skill Dash ]

-> Your speed is raised by 100%

-> Dexterity of the limbs is increased by 50%

-> Fatigue will start to get acc.u.mulated by 0.05 per second.

-> Skill will get deactivated automatically the moment fatigue reaches 20

And thanks to the skill, he covered the distance in no time. He arrived near a tree and jumped as high as he could and just used the skill Bite to kill the spider on the tree itself.

Of course, since it was a different tree, there weren't many webs. Thus, it got killed instantly and had no time to even use the poison of which it was proud.

[ You have used the skill Bite ]

-> Dexterity of the jaws has been increased by 500%.

-> Power of the jaws has been increased by 300%.

-> Dexterity of the teeth has been increased by 200%.
