Chapter 37 37: Revenge Hunting

A giant wooden mace swung with killing intent towards a standing girl, for the girl to massacre all of its brethren . But the girl just slashed her deep blue blade and chopped the attacker's gigantic arm.

"Sigh. I'll leave it to you, Raphael."

"Air Vortex Cannon." I nonchalantly recite the spell while pointing my crimson sword to the target with my right hand.

Upon casting a Level 7 Wind Magic spell, an invisible turbulent ring of sharp winds released from my blade at high speed and easily crushed the limbs and the head of an A-ranked Level 400+ Ogre King.

The remaining torso of the eight meter tall humanoid dropped to the ground with splatting blood. I unconsciously opened my Inventory and keep my loot inside.

In the depths of a dense forest, a few kilometers beyond the site of our confrontation with the S-ranked Indestructible Lizard, Sister and I are slaying monsters to level up for the first time after a month.

My sister and I were restricted to kill monsters since we levelled up too much in the stampede. We've been training our bodies and skills month long.

Mothers lifted up our month long quarantine and now permitted to slay monsters with the same trice a week hunting schedule. But we're limited to level up ourselves up to ten levels per session.

Even though it's only ten levels, levelling up with our current Level takes more time and effort than before. The higher the Level, the more EXP needed it gain one. Even without the restriction, gaining ten levels in a single day needs a lot of effort.

By the way, this is my current stats:

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

I've been levelling up for more than six years and I already reached the 600th realm! Which is absurdly high and abnormally fast even with this magical world!

My stat reached five digits in average. Which making me stupidly overpowered. Not just me, but also my sister.

Thanks to my blessings and our mothers' spartan training, we've been able to level up quickly in just a very short time. Even the long-lived races like elves takes centuries to reach this Level.

Since this forest is vast and filled with indefinite high-ranking monsters, we've been able to hunt down as many monsters as we want and gained unlimited amount of EXP. Now, we surpass the norm and broke everyone's common sense.

Adventurer-wise, I would have surpassed S-rank and reached the Supreme Rank D. Once an adventurer reached Level 400 and achieve enough credits, they will get promoted to Supreme Adventurer.

By the way, both our parents were the only adventurers to surpass Supreme Rank D and reached Supreme Rank S or SS-ranked adventurer before retirement. This rank need at least Level 1000 to achieve.

The last stampede, I encountered new monsters and was able to get hands of their skills. I have been collecting and synthesizing skills and acquired new skills. Some of it were broken and have it keep hidden.

"Let's go deeper. I can't get enough of these barbaric humanoids."

"Even an Ogre King was not enough for you? Well, they move on instinct and attacks only with brute strength following the same pattern after all."

Just a moment ago, this place was an Ogre settlement filled with fiery and strong ogres. But was completely annihilated by Sister and me.

We're been on a killing spree to let out our pent up patience of not hunting a whole month.

"Since you got greater detection, go and find me an opponent."

"Don't just ordering me around, you know?"

As my sister ordered, I opened my Omnidirectional Perception and looked a monster worthy of my sister's desire. And I found something interesting.

"Oh! What a rare find!"

"Hoh. You found something?"

"Not just something. It's the elusive Scythe Mantis. Hiding for ambush a kilometer north."

"Let's go and check what it's capable of."

With the vastness of Omnidirectional Perception and the accuracy of the Clairvoyance, I held Sister's left hand and cast "Warp". We teleported and landed a hundred meter away from the hiding Scythe Mantis.

"Okay. What will we do now?"

"Just walk and let it attack us."

"If you say so…"

She said to lower our guards down and let the mantis ambush and attack us. This mantis looked like specialized in ambush attack and we have to be in lax to see its capabilities.

"Let's go."

We walked leniently between the tall tree and went straight towards the ambush range of the mantis. The mantis is concealing its presence completely as if blending with the nature. It sensed our approaching existence, the mantis is preparing for its ambush.

With hands on the back of my head, I leisurely skipping my feet while whistling a happy tune like going to a picnic. Sister just walked as plain as she could.

Upon passing the tree of its concealment, white blur entered our peripheral vision. Fast and sharp cutting of air reached our auditory nerves.

Clank.

Sharp and deafening of colliding of metals echoed in the woods. Loud enough to frighten and cast away the birds nearby.

"So this is the A-ranked Scythe Mantis."

"It's creepy as hell."

A humongous mantis of ten foot high with white exoskeleton slashed both of its sharp forelimbs on us upon stepping its range. But we were faster and quickly blocked it with our katanas.

"Want to fight it alone, Sis?"

"Why not? It's definitely worth fighting than those unintelligent ogres."

"There you go…"

We parried the scythed forelegs together and knocked it back. I stepped out of the game and let the two face each other, preventing other monsters to interfere.

"Entertain me, you insect."

The mantis launched itself forward to my sister. With a Scythe technique, the mantis slashed both of its forelimbs in unison. A wave of blade released from the scythed forelegs forming an X and aimed at my standing sister.

( Level 5 Scythe Wave, huh.)

To counter the attack, Sister lavishly slashed her blade twice and released two Sword Wave. The two set of waves collides and it resulted to an intense air pressure.

The mantis left dumbfounded for a second and Sister take that opportunity to charge and attack. The mantis regained its composure immediately and reacted to Sister's overhead blade by doing a big side step to the left.

Splat.

In spite of avoiding a fatal damage, the mantis wasn't left unscathed. The mantis scanned its massive body and found out that one of its limbs is missing.

"Please don't damage its blades, Sis."

"No need for you to remind me."

Realizing the power of its opponent and the possible outcome of the fight, the mantis made a run for its money. Despite having one of its limbs amputated, the mantis didn't lost its prime speed.

"Where do you think you're going?!"

Sister covered herself with yellow lightning and chased the running mantis. I waltzed in to their previous post and picked up the amputated leg. Even though its ivory exoskeleton is as tough as steel, our blades can cut it easily.

"Looks like crab meat, though."

I took a peek at the fresh meat under the tough exoskeleton.

"Maybe it's tasted like crab if we cooked it?" I said to myself then throw the limb into my Inventory.

I tried to catch up with them by following the trail that they made. They left tall trees to be cut down by their blades. There's even scorched ones.

"This insect gave me a good fight. We still have time left and didn't reach our daily capping. Go find another challenger, Raphael."

"Well… when I was looking for monsters earlier, I noticed an irregularity in this forest."

"What irregularity is that?"

"Twelve kilometers north, there's a plain in the middle of this dense forest."
