Gacha Sovereign

34 Danger

The next morning, four of them walking like a robot. This scene was funny, but the servants didn't dare to laugh. Only Alicia was laughing non-stop.

Mia thanking Alex for the pill. Grand duke and madam, thank him too. Though Alex keeps saying he just wanted to thank everyone for taking care of him. But what is shocking the most, was the eldest daughter. She hugged Alex while thanking him. Everyone froze looking at this. Alicia didn't know why her heart pained seeing this. 'she is my sister, she is my sister...' she thought this again and again.

As for the eldest daughter, Lea, doing something this bold because she was the one who received the most. She managed to break through to rank 6 prowess so when she reach rank 6 or level 600 her prowess will be much higher.

Originally Lea already stuck at rank 5 for 2 years. Rank 5 monster or above was hard to kill, as for below rank 5 monster didn't give much exp for leveling up. So with this new power, she can easily challenge rank 5 or even rank 6 monsters to leveling up.

Lea graduated from the academy two years ago. She was a rank 5 warrior at that time, renowned as a genius of genius. She was proud and aloof. After graduating from the academy she wanted to enlist to the military. But her progress stagnated in rank 5.

Because of this, the house makes a celebration.

After dinner, grand duke accompanies Alex, Alicia, and Mia to the academy. Mia is a second-grade student in the academy. For second grade students, they have a more relaxed schedule, so she already went back to the house a few days earlier.

"Be careful when you are going to Night forest." He warned them.

"Yes father, we are going now" Alicia and Mia said.

Alex took out a few more pills and give them to the grand duke. "This is the pill for his majesty and ....your highness crown prince."

When grand duke receiving this pill. He looked at Alex more and more pleasing to the eyes. This son-in-law is the best son-in-law he can get, he thought.

They come back to their own room. Alex said he wanted to explore the night forest alone. So Mia invited Alicia to join her since she already has that capability to follow her.

Alex went back to cultivate. Even his strength equal to rank 4, he still didn't manage to break through to the Qi Gathering Stage.

The next day, every student from the academy gather on the arena. The dean giving his speech,

"Today will be the start for grade ranking, the event will be held for two weeks, you need to kill monsters in the night forest, the number of monsters you manage to kill will determine your ranking. The teachers will be the ones who supervised you."

"After this speech end, we will go to the night forest. Do my best my student! and remember today is the first day for grade ranking"

The dean got off the podium. A few students manage to get the hidden message in the dean's speech. Alex managed to get the hidden message too. The dean likes to make a different system for many years in this event.

"Princess we might need to pick up a pace later."Alex said.

True enough, he immediately saw Mia come to them.

"Alicia"

"Sister Mia"

"Let's go" Mia grab Alicia's hand.

"Sister, what happened?" Alicia worried.

"I will explain it later. Now we need to move faster. He noticed it too" Mia said while looking at Alex. Alex nod to her.

"Please go on Princess" Alex said to Alicia.

Alicia then left with Mia, while Alex too, starting his own journey to Night Forest. Night Forest is a forest close to the capital city. They can arrive with only a day of walking.

Academy has thirty third-grade students, two hundred second grade students, and one thousand first grade students. All of these people set off toward the night forest.

With so many people marching toward the night forest. this event was well known by the citizen in the capital city. Many come out from their house, watching them and cheering for them.

But Alex didn't care about this, he escaped from the mass rushing toward night forest, after a few hours running. True enough, there are a few ten students who reached this forest first. they all manage to get the hidden message from dean speech. Of course, there are already a few rank 6 teachers above standing by outside the forest. they smiled at the students because they know about the dean's arrangement.

The student who managed to get the hidden message mainly third-grade students. A few second-grade students. Only Alex and Alicia who was brought along with Mia are the first-year students.

Alex went inside the forest. The forest was similar to a rain-forest in his hometown on Earth. He didn't care about this, he keeps rushing to the inner forest.

While he rushing to the inner forest, he has slain many rank 0 to rank 1 monster. With Alex's capability, this monster gets killed in an instant with Alex. He runs for another two hours as he managed to reach the inner forest. he raised his guard.

He noticed a big red snake, with 12-meter length and 1 meter wide. This monster is rank 3 snake. He praised his luck. The first monster he sees in the inner forest is a rank 3 snake.

The snake is fast with his big body. But after all this snake only rank 3 snake, Alex still killed it easily. He searched around for a few hours. He managed to kill ten rank 2 monsters and 4 rank 3 monsters. He decided to rest for the day.

He didn't make a campfire. He just climbs a tree and sleeps on there. Since he awakens his element, he never bothered with cold.

On the second day, he managed to kill a few times more than yesterday.

On the third day, when he searched around he got surrounded by twenty rank 3 wolves, but what shocked him the most, their leader is a rank 4 wolf. He recalled what Alicia said, in the inner forest. the monster should only rank 2 or rank 3 monsters.

He frowned. This time he took out his spears from the system. He now has a spear in each hand. Before the wolf leader ordered to attack, Alex throws his spears. He managed to kill two wolves with that.

"Auuuu" The leader immediately ordered them to attack. seventeen wolves immediately charged at Alex.

Alex still has a few meter distance from them, he takes out another two spear and throws them.

He killed another two wolves. But this time the wolves manage to get close to him, so he took out his sword.

Taking many rank 3 wolves, this is the first time for him. To boost it, these wolves were fast.

One wolf charge to him from the front. He swings his sword. His sword managed to kill the wolf. But, "Ah...." he screamed.

His left arm was bitten from the back. Noticing this, All wolves charge at him together. Alex immediately kicked the wolf that bites him. Fortunately his left hand still usable.

He called another sword to his left hand. He charged to the direction where the wolves were fewer to make a breakthrough.

In this direction only have two wolves charging at him, so he effortlessly slashes them. with that, he managed to breakthrough.

The wolf that got kicked by Alex, can't get up. Alex's strength was equal to rank 4, so that kick managed to immobilize the wolf.

Now only thirteen wolves left That charging at him. He used this chance to throw his sword from his left hand which managed to kill another wolf. He now took out his spear from his left hand.

Sword in the right hand, Spear in the left hand. He runs around them. the wolves not charging at him from one direction. there are seven wolves in his back, three wolves at his side and two wolves in his front. The wolves were smart, but unfortunately, their opponent is Alex.

He instantly killed the wolves in his front. He then charged at the wolves in his side. He managed to kill two wolves in his side, but when he just about to kill the third one. There is a shadow from his other side. He instinctively used his sword to guard.

He was blown away. he shocked, the wolf leader decided to join. His right hand was numb. But fortunately, because he was blown away, that manage to give him and the wolves a distance.

He managed to throw three spears before the wolves close their distance. Now there are only 5 wolves left excluding the leader.

But the battle now was harder, since his right hand still hasn't recovered. He used his left hand to use spear so he can make a distance with them.

The leader charged at him, but now he already prepared. Just when the leader was about to bite him, Alex kicked him. He blew him away.

The wolves saw this, they start to fear Alex. But Alex didn't let this chance pass. He throws his spear with his left hand.

A fireball appeared in front of him. He pinched the ball like an arrow and release it, Alex decided to use his magic. the ball fly to the wolves, the ball split to four targeting each wolf. Since the wolves were scared, they didn't manage to dodge it. the balls manage to pierce them and killing all of them.

This time the leader manages to recover, he looked at Alex hatefully. All his subordinate was killed by him. Now the leader was berserk, He angrily charged at Alex.

Alex formed a fire spear in his front, the spear fly to the leader. The wolf leader shocked, he managed to retain a bit of his rationality. He barely dodges Alex's flame spear. But Alex didn't let this go, he charged at the wolf, he slash him.

After the wolf leader died, Alex leaned to a tree. He tired, he took out a restoration pill. The numbness on his right hand was disappeared, the bitten wound to close with a speed visible with naked eyes.

He decided to stop his hunt for today. Alex frowned.

"Why does a rank 4 wolf come to the inner forest?" he keeps pondering this.

The next day, he killed a few rank 3 monsters. He didn't see any rank 4 monsters for now.

But what happened was a shock to him. Because this time is not a rank 4 monsters coming. This time is a rank 5 monsters coming. He got scared. A rank 5 bear coming to him.

He got his guard to the maximum. He wanted to run away but it is not possible. This bear is fast even though his body was big. He charged at Alex. Alex dodge to the side

'fast' he was shocked with the bear speed. He just managed barely dodge the bear's charged.

He took out his spear and threw it to the bear. The spear didn't even manage to scratch the bear but the spear capable to make the bear angry.

The bear angrily charged at him, but this time he not charged blindly. When Alex managed to dodge his charge, he immediately threw a paw to him. Alex parried this.

'strong!' Alex had blown away. he crashed to a big tree, he spurted blood. He checked at his wound. Aside from his inner injury, his left hand was incapacitated.

He makes a fireball and pinched it like usual. He aimed at the bear. The ball fly to the bear, the bear raised his hands to guard. When the ball touches the bear, it exploded.

"Did I manage to kill it?"

When the fog cleared. He saw the bear wasn't even wounded. This time he got scared. With that attack, many rank 3 will be killed easily, even rank 4 monsters won't escape unscathed. But this attack didn't even wound the bear in his front.

"Is this a rank 5 power?"

The bear charged at him again, the bear paw manage to land to Alex. Alex blown away again.

He crashed to a nearby rock. This time a few of his ribs broken. He fuzzily looked at the bear.

"Is this my end?" He thinks he will be killed by this bear. But suddenly, a warm feeling enters his body.

"This is..." he surprised with this sudden feeling. He tried to absorb this warm feeling to his body.

"What is this?"

"Is this Qi?"

He tried to absorb as many as possible in these few seconds.

The bears charged at him once again. After he reaches the Qi gathering stage. He managed to control the Qi/mana in his body easily. He infused the qi to his foot, this time he managed to dodge the bear completely.

"Ah..." He screamed in pain. The pain for a broken hand and a few broken ribs. Enduring this pain, he moves a few meters away from the bear.

He raised his sword. He tried to infuse his sword with his fire. The sword now was on fire. Seeing that is successful, he tried to infuse it as many as possible. After he thinks he can't infuse it anymore he swings his sword down.

Alex's sword broke, as a Flame sword wave flies to the bear. The bear shocked looking at this, the bear put two of his hands to guard this. While Alex used this chance to run away.

"I will be back to kill you" Alex said with determination.

If Alex looked back, he can see the one of the bear hands was cut by his sword wave.
