NOVEL NEXT Chapter 24: Level 101 (1)
After pondering for a while, Adam then went outside his apartment and towards the market to buy resources especially food, mana potion, and some necessities.
He also bought some health potion, though he might not need it as he had a large amount of health, it won't hurt to have some precaution right?
Likewise, he also bought an antidote as the monster he's planning to hunt, has poison damage, hence an antidote was indeed necessary in case of unforeseen events...
Soon, after buying everything that he might need, he then went towards the accessory store. It's to buy a storage ring!
At the store, Adam was currently looking at the different accessory items on display, or rather, only three kinds of accessories!
As mentioned before, accessories were considered as a rare item, thus, the number of such items was indeed low and mostly being dominated by large Guilds and Royalties.
The three items on display are a storage ring, a necklace, and a bracelet, which are all E-rating, hence, Adam was not attracted to the item by even a bit.
' Can't he just get an item from his miscellaneous ticket? And possibly an item of SSS-grade at top of that! '
Hence, Adam just pay attention to the E-rating storage ring which cost 20,000 pesos! (412 $), and only has 10 square meters space inside.
Nonetheless, Adam chose to buy the storage ring though the item it can accommodate was limited.
'Its better than nothing'
Soon, he put all his stuff inside the storage ring and take a step towards the carriage stations.
-------
After half an hour of travel, Adam now finally managed to arrive at his chosen hunting ground! He then looked towards the sign on its entrance...
' Dark Wolves hunting ground '
As mentioned, it was a zone where Dark Wolves reside...
They are monsters known for their speed and just look the same as wolves on Earth, with the only difference being too dark and twice the size!
Hence, Chosen commonly used to avoid this kind of monster due to its high agility.
But of course, that was not the case with Adam...
He chose this hunting ground as he was fascinated by the Dark Wolf's agility...
As for the reason why he loved it that much? It's because the faster the wolves are, the faster his killing speed would be!
Besides, wolves tend to travel in groups hence, Adam won't need to waste time searching and killing Dark wolves one by one.
And lastly, Adam planned to test his new skill 'Monster- Duplicator' and used these Dark Wolves as an experimental subject!
Soon, he began to enter the hunting ground which is devoid of human presence...
Unlike Gigantic Ants hunting ground, Dark Wolves hunting ground is a wide forest where various eerie howling can be heard...
' howl!!! '
Though the sound is somehow eerie, Adam however maintained a smirked, as for why?
' I can hear it! '
He can hear the sound of dozens of Dark Wolves nearby!
And as he expected, a group of Dark Wolves consisting of 5, appears from the dense forest...
' howl! howl! ', howled by the level 200 Dark wolves
Nevertheless, Adam was still unbothered as he immediately enunciates a word...
' Greed. ', Adam utters composedly
After the summon, Greed appeared and instantly kowtowed to Adam like before...
Hence, Adam issued his command...
" Play with them! ", Adam chuckled as he began to supply a hefty amount of mana to Greed!
Soon, he stopped inserting mana when reached 500,000 as it was more than enough to 'play' with the monsters
Hence, Another monster genocide occurred at the Dark Wolves hunting ground...
------
At the same time, on another hunting ground somewhere in Luzon kingdom, a young girl is fighting a level 58 'Ice Troll' head- on!
A beastwoman can be seen in the area as well, looking at the Ice Troll with a killing intent...
She was the same beastwoman being sold on the auction before! And the young girl beside her was her master named, Charyl.
Charyl is also one of the three members of the fourth batch of Chosen who obtained an A-rating during the trial, the same with William and Ken.
Likewise, she also joined the Missus Guild, one of the 5 largest Guild as well, which are primarily composed of women.
The beastwoman beside her which she named Dulcy, was a gift given to her by her Guild master during the auction.
She is also a proud ice magician, hence, she hunts in this icy region where her strength was greatly boosted!
Soon, the monster she was fighting earlier was killed as a concentration of ice spike falls from the sky, killing the Ice Troll within one- hit!
' Stronger... I got to be stronger! ', she thought firmly...
At the other hunting grounds, the same scene can be observed as Chosen hunts diligently, as for the reason?
It's because of the feeling of inferiority they experienced recently. Hence, they began hunting and gaining power more actively...
' 1 month, ... I got to be strong within that 1 month! ', they all thought simultaneously as they are forbidden to log off for 1 month...
-------
Back to Dark Wolves hunting ground.
Greed instantly lunges on the group of Dark Wolves as soon as he heard Adam's command...
The level 200 Dark Wolves may be agile compared to its peers, but alas! It lagged far behind when compared to the now 500,000 mana- powered Greed!
Hence, the first member of the unfortunate group died helplessly with just a brandished of Greed's sword
Adam was still smirking at the fabulous scene when suddenly, an announcement interrupted him...
[ You have killed level 200 Dark Wolves ]

' ding! '
[ Due to cross-ranking kill of 1 major level difference, the first effect of SSS-grade Title 'The One Who Never Bowed Down' is now unlocked ]

' ohh! ', Adam utters bewilderedly...
He then checked the SSS-grade title again...
