"Finally another core" Evan muttered as he popped one C rank core into his mouth that he extracted from ape type monster.
The core turned into energy which rushed inside his body, and was absorbed by his monarch core.
"I just got two C rank cores in the past three hours. There are not many C rank monsters in this area" Evan muttered as he walked away from the body of the monster.
If it was normal time he was sure he would have encountered more monsters, but since there are many hunters in the surroundings the number of monsters he encountered was very low.
Other than two C rank cores, he also got one D+ rank core. He also absorbed that D+ rank core.
But compared to C rank cores the energy that D+ rank provided him was quite low.
Ding -!
Suddenly Evan received a text message. When he took out his phone and saw he raised an eyebrow.
"Looks like they encountered a problem there" Evan muttered when he saw the message of Aaron. But he didn't care much about it since he was just planning to fight against orcs who were below B rank.
After seeing the message Evan thought about for a moment before he started to move in a different direction.
"Since we will attack on the den tomorrow. I might as well hunt some monsters before today before going there"
Three hours later Evan came quite far away from the other hunters.
During this time he encountered some monsters, but he only got one D+ rank core.
"This area is quite far away, I should be able to hunt here without any problems," Evan said to himself while moving on his hoverboard.
Suddenly Evan noticed a monster who was munching on the body of another monster.
"Is it a rhino?" Evan muttered when he saw a three meters big monster who was covered in silver color scales.
The monster was similar to a rhino and a long white horn was coming out from its front. Its eyes were deep orange in color, and a tail was coming out from the back of it which was filled with sharp scales.
When Evan was one hundred meters away from it he finally felt its aura and found it was a C rank monster.
He also noticed that the monster it was eating was also a C rank monster and was recently killed.
Most of the body of the dead monster was still fine, and from the looks of it was clear that the rhino just started to eat it.
"That dead monster might also have a core" Evan jumped down from the hoverboard and moved towards the rhino quickly.
Because of the passive effect of his concealment ring the rhino wasn't able to detect Evan when he moved towards it.
Using mana reinforcement Evan instantly arrived before the rhino.
After arriving before the rhino he clenched his fist, and even before the rhino could react he smashed his fist at its scaled covered face.
Booooommm-!
A loud booming sound echoed out as the giant rhino was pushed back because of the force of impact.
The rhino growled in pain, and some of the scales around its face were shattered as blood spurted out from its wound.
Evan was surprised when he saw the rhino was not seriously injured. After using mana reinforcement he was stronger than normal C+ rank hunters.
But even though this rhino was just a C rank monster it still wasn't seriously injured even after taking a full blow attack from him.
'The defense of this rhino is quite high' Evan thought and was about to move towards the rhino once again, when suddenly the orange eyes of the rhino shined with strange light.
Evan who was about to move stopped dead in his tracks and felt a terrible headache.
"Sh*t, a spiritual skill'' Evan cursed while holding his head tightly.
ROAR -!
While Evan was distracted because of the headache the rhino roared out loud and charged towards him.
Evan felt the ground around him shaking when the rhino charged toward him.
He forced himself to ignore the terrible headache that was killing him and used shadow walk skill.
Using shadow walk he disappeared from the place he was standing. The rhino who was charging towards him was startled and stopped while looking around it.
Swish -!
Suddenly a shadow appeared behind the rhino and slashed at it with a green sword.
Puchi -!
Roar -!
The wind fury easily cut through the scales of the rhino as a deep wound appeared on its back.
After slashing Evan didn't stop and used wind manipulation to cover his sword with wind.
After covering his sword he thrust wind fury at the same place where he slashed earlier.
The sword easily pierced through the defense of the rhino and dug deeper into its flash.
Just as the sword dug into the rhino's flash Evan controlled the wind that he coated around his sword.
Suddenly all the wind around wind fury turned into wind blades, and destroyed the rhino's body from the inside.
ROAR -!
The rhino roared in pain and its life force slowly faded away.
Thud-!
With a thumping sound, the body of the rhino dropped to the ground as a puddle of blood started to form around its body.
Evan's face was pale white and his body was covered in cold sweat.
Even though the effect of the rhino's skill ended after he used shadow walk his head was still aching.
Evan sat down while holding his head and took out a healing potion and drank it.
After some time his headache started to fade away while Evan continue to lay on the ground.
"There is something wrong" Evan muttered while deep in thought, "How can a spiritual skill cast by C rank monster can affect me this badly"
"Is my spiritual power even weaker than a C rank monster? Or is there a problem with my soul?"
