Chapter 47 Improvements

Nux ran away, or so the guards thought…

After a while, he returned and hid behind the trees.

No, he didn't have any intention to help the boy.

Someone was planning to get the son of a marquis killed.

On one side, there was a Marquis and on the other, was someone who dared to kill Marquis's son. Both of them aren't someone he could afford to offend.

Not only him, but even Felberta also might not be safe he offended them. He was even regretting his decision to help the boy initially.

Well, what's done was done; he couldn't change it and just sighed.

If he doesn't want to help, why was he back here then?

Of course, that is to form a party with the rest of the guards who should be returning soon. Who knows, he might earn some extra points.

He didn't have to wait for long as the head guard along with the other guards appeared. If the head guard was surprised to see the boy alive, he didn't show it on his face, he just showed his concern and asked if the boy was safe and acted calmly.

Nux was even more scared seeing that, he quickly formed a party and ran away.

This time, he ran away for real.



Nux continued his search for the whole day as he killed some beasts while he was at it. After forming parties with around 14 teams, he found a relatively safe place and rested for the night.

The next day, Nux stood up with a fresh smile. Today, he wasn't going to find any humans anymore; of course, it was a different case if he found them by chance. He would be stupid if he didn't party with them.

His stats rose again, and this time, it wasn't due to a level up. This was all due to his Sword Skill, being a body cultivation skill, it didn't require mana, only raw strength, therefore, the stronger his mastery over it, the stronger his strength will be. Therefore, he decided that he was going to raise his mastery of the skill to a small achievement stage within the next few days.

He walked towards a group of four 2 star bears he found and fought them while only using his Nine Strikes Of Sword. Of course, he also used his Water shield to prevent blood from falling on him.

The more he fought, the more he could feel his mastery over his sword was increasing. His movements turned smoother and smoother and even his speed increased.

His improvement speed was frightening.

After defeating the bears, he found another group of 2-star beasts and continued fighting them in the same way.

Of course, he wasn't unscathed as well since he wasn't experienced enough right now, but his wound wasn't that serious since his armour was very tough.

There were just a few scratches here and there which quickly vanished after he drank the Healing Potion.

For the next few days, Nux continued fighting the same way, from four 2 star beasts, he fought more than ten 2 star beasts at the same time without many injuries.

Even a 3-star beast cannot do that. He was now sure that he can fight any 3-star beasts without any problem but he didn't fight right away and continued fighting 2-star beasts.

His Nine Strikes Of Sword has already reached the mid-level small achievement stage. As he has already achieved his goal, he had decided to fight these beasts with just his 4 basic elements skills to train them.

However, the more he fought, the quicker he found out that training his 4 skills wasn't as simple as his Sword skill.

He had a limited amount of MP, although he can force himself with his sheer will if he was low on stamina, he can't do the same with his MP because he would pass out if his MP reaches 0.

Of course, he can use Mana Potions, but Felberta warned him not to use them too much since they contained impurities and might affect his body in the future so he avoided them as much as possible.

This was annoying. Although he can feel his skills improving, the process was really slow compared with his sword skill.

It took him 15 days to raise all his skills to the small achievement stage, among which, only his Steps Of Gale was at a mid-level small achievement stage.

However, even with that, he still wasn't able to defeat more than five 2 star beasts since these beasts run away as soon as they feel that they cannot fight him anymore.

Unlike his sword skill, which has the power to deal significant damage in one attack, his attacking skills, Earth Fist and Fire Ball weren't as strong.

The time it took him to defeat one beast is enough for the rest of them to run away.

Nux shook his head, dejected.

He had to give up.

No matter how much he tried, the skills he has are still just 1-star skills, it is difficult to kill 2-star beasts with them. Also, MP wasn't his strong point either.

Nux sighed as he returned to his safe point and rested for the day.

He has decided to fight with 3-star beasts from tomorrow.
