Chapter 916: Bestial clash (4)
Erik watched as the metalfur bear stood on its feet after Erik had killed the Luminaclaw bear. The creature had witnessed the swift and brutal efficiency with which Erik had slaughtered its opponent.
Their eyes met, and for a moment, a silent understanding passed between the hunter and the prey.
The Metalfur bear's injuries were grave, and it knew there would be no escape if it chose to fight.
So instead, it turned and began limping hastily away into the foliage, but it was still fast. Mira, Emily, and Amber could do nothing to reach it; it was too fast for them.
Blood stained its matted fur from many gashes as it fled, seeking survival.
Erik looked at the creature as it fled. He considered giving chase and finishing what he had started.
The kill would grant him experience and mana, strengthening him further. For a second, the creature's pitiful state made him feel sorry, but there was no way that he would have left the creature roaming around the forest. It was too strong.
The metalfur bear disappeared into the forest, fleeing from the one who had ended the life of its opponent.
"Stay here," Erik said to Mira, Amber, and Emily. "I will take care of it." The three women nodded.
With that, June turned into a human and started collecting the blood and brain crystals. He was naked, of course. While Mira and Amber didn't have problems with that, despite being jealous that the others could see June, who so closely resembled Erik, naked, Emily was blushing.
June and Erik were amused, but aside from that, they didn't care. Being seen naked was the least of their problems.
Erik started running after the injured metalfur bear, following the trail of blood and broken vegetation it left behind.
His feet flew over the forest floor as he dodged trees and jumped over roots and fallen logs.
The bear's head-start and injuries prevented it from moving fast, but he was still not slow. The trail, though, was already growing faint.
Erik focused on his surroundings, scanning for any signs that would reveal the bear's location.
Scarlet blood sprayed over Erik's face and clothes as the metalfur bear collapsed to the ground with a final wheezing breath.
Erik cleaned the blood from his eyes and watched as the beast's yellow eyes slowly clouded over in death.
Erik didn't use that much mana; he didn't know what he could meet inside the forest now that the thaids from the Eldraith mountain range were rushing out of it, and he didn't want to risk
as much as he did with the Hevadrin.
He played it purely on physical terms.
[METALFUR BEAR KILLED: MANA ABSORBING PROCESS STARTING.]
[0%...1%... 5%... 30%... 70%... 100%]
[MANA SUCCESSFULLY ABSORBED, STARTING CONVERTING PROCEDURE.]
[3...2...1...0]
[MANA SUCCESSFULLY CONVERTED INTO EXPERIENCE. 8424 EXPERIENCE POINTS AND 84.24 DNA POINTS AWARDED TO THE HOST.]
Erik observed the huge metalfur bear lying lifeless at his feet. Its ferocity was now gone, leaving behind only a bloody carcass.
Erik kneeled down beside it. He slipped his backpack off and opened it, pulling out an empty
vial.
He found an artery in the bear's neck and drained its blood into the glass container.
Next, Erik used his hardened-slime flyssa. With a simple motion, he split open the bear's
skull.
The bone gave way with a sickening crunch, exposing the brain crystal at the center of the creature's brain.
The source of its power glowed with a subtle light that flickered as Erik pried it loose.
