Without feeling it, time flows again.
Almost a month has passed. It is now the second month in autumn. In this time, all the members of the Sword of Sufferings gained all-out training from the Ark. Especially for those who are going to go.
All the members selected, 225 people managed to break through level 2. Moreover, all the Sword of Sufferings generals were severely beaten by the Ark for almost a month. Other than Jay who had been at level 4 since the training began, about half of the Sword of Sufferings higher-ups had broken through to level 4.
Kurona and Shirona were the first to follow. After that, Saito also went up. Despite staying at the headquarters as a teacher, Darin did not disappoint Ark and managed to break through level 4. Lastly was Lisa who finally broke through level 4 today.
Although it had stored a lot of ingredients for months to make a lot of potions, it was still lacking in number. Therefore, Ark chose anyone who had to go up by doing the various battle exams that were conducted every day.
Pure power, way of thinking, speed of adapting, and many more things determine Ark's choice.
It was not that Ark acted biased, but except for Darin and Lisa, the rest of the Sword of Sufferings higher-ups became somewhat blunt after being at the headquarters for months. Jay and Darin did not slack at all, their target was to chase after Ark, so never rest a day. While Lisa, though careless and playful, not even too smart .. creativity in making improvisation when fighting makes Ark finally choose it.
Draco, Leon, and Stacy clearly feel sad about not being chosen. It was just that, they finally accepted the facts. Ark explained their weaknesses and what needed to be fixed before being allowed to rise to higher levels.
While Draco and Leon have not been very good at controlling their savage side, Stacy herself has a dark side. Many people were confused by Ark's remark, but the woman herself had already understood and vowed to correct it.
It's just, there's a problem. Although there were already five people who had broken through to level 4, they had yet to receive the root miracle. Besides the difficulty of finding a level 4 creature, they were more troubled to find the most suitable one. After all, not all suitable beasts would appear if they wanted to.
In fact, up until now Ark who had many memories in the past was confused choosing what kind of root miracle he should absorb at level 5. So until now he had not absorbed the root miracle at all.
Rachete! Rachete! Rachete!
At the edge of the forest, Ark sat on a boulder while eating. He stared at the people who were busy fighting and hunting quietly. Just then, Lisa's irritated voice sounded in her ears.
“Can't you eat that kind of thing stealthily, Chief Bau? Just looking at it makes my eyes hurt!”
“Ya?”
Ark tilted his head. He then threw a thumb-sized topas into his mouth and started biting at it.
After a full recovery, for the sake of adding violence to his armor, Ark began to develop another hobby. Yes ... eating jewelry. What he ate was not gold or silver, but what he used to decorate various jewels.
At first Ark tried all the precious stones be it diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, topas, and such. But after trying it, the young man finally became picky. His favorite is of course the diamond, besides being the loudest, he feels it is also a pleasure. In addition to diamonds, Ark likes topas most because of their level of hardness.
Other than the two, Ark only wanted to eat two other types of stones. The first is quartz stone which is famous for its hardness, and the last is flint or flint stone. Although not too hard compared to the other three stones and tastes bad, Ark still ate it for some reason.
For those women who love jewelry, Ark's actions are obviously pretty crazy. Eating expensive jewelry as a snack in your spare time is obviously too much.
BLAR!!
Just then, the sound of explosions was heard in the distance. Looking at the source of the sound where the dust puff soared high into the sky, Ark seemed quite interested.
After saying that, Ark instantly stored the pouch containing quite a lot of topas back. He stood up, then went towards the place where the explosion occurred. Lisa is still upset, but also follows Ark.
Arriving at the location, the two of them stood on top of a tree branch while looking at the scene where many people surrounded a giant deer. The deer itself is over three meters tall excluding its horns. The horns of the creature appear very large and do not fit well with its rather small head.
“Oh? Level 2 trying to suppress level 3? Pretty interesting.”
Although not the most ferocious wild beast Ark had encountered, the mutated deer was still quite powerful compared to some normal level 3 ferocious beasts. Around him, there were twenty-five people surrounding him. Instead of being frightened or nervous, ferocious expressions appeared on the faces of those fighters.
Carrying a sword in their hands, the 25 people clearly considered the mutated deer as their prey.
Sensing the killing intent of the 25 people, the corner of Ark's lips lifted slightly. Meanwhile, Lisa's expression clearly did not look good. The girl didn't seem to be particularly fond of changes in people who received special training. Just then, Ark's voice sounded in his ears.
“If want to survive in the cruel wild, they also need to be violent and not only be passive, Lisa.”
“But ... can something like this be considered true, Brother?”
Looking towards the twenty-five people who continued to fight with the deer where it continued to surround and attack in turns, Lisa frowned. Although their actions seemed neat, but it could not remove any trace of ferocity from their bodies.
In Lisa's eyes, rather than the 25 knights fighting monsters, she instead saw 25 wolves besieging and trying to finish off an old deer.
BRUK!
After some time, the mutated deer that had gone crazy in the end still fell. The twenty-five people who finished executing him immediately sat in their place. They were clearly exhausted from fighting an enemy that was much stronger than their own. However, the result still made them satisfied.
Yes ... they managed to win the fight and kill the level 3 mutated deer!
“Good work.”
Ark said casually while clapping his hands. Hearing his words, everyone who had previously focused on fighting instantly rose up. They all directly faced and saluted Ark.
“It's okay. Just rest. You guys have done something amazing.”
“Ya, Sir!” answer them in unison.
At first, Ark only asked 225 people to go around the city to finish off the zombies. But because the intensity of the exercise was too low, he immediately changed the target. In the beginning, they hunted the ferocious beasts and zombies in the Sword of Sufferings territory until it was clean.
After that, they started hunting in the forest around the city. Not too far away, just a part of the forest near the city. Although ...
They could still hunt down many mutated beasts and finally undergo a huge change after receiving many forges!
