Chapter 116 Great rewards

However, they didn’t stop there, more kept pouring in, with each one of them, making the smile on Harry’s face grow wider and wider.

[Lightning Dash level up!]

[Healing and regeneration level up!]

[Skill “Healing and regeneration” now level 2!]

Harry’s eyes widened and the joy in his face and he couldn’t even hide the joy he currently felt.

Almost all the skills he used in the fight against the cobra had levelled up, and he could feel his strength increase even more.

Even [Healing and regeneration] levelled up.

It wasn’t really a surprise since that skill saved his life more than once today, if not for the fact that his injuries were able to heal, he wouldn’t be able to defeat up to five stage one mana beasts, talk-less of the cobra.

‘It’s definitely a really helpful skill…’

Apart from that, he gained 15000EXP from killing the beast and that alone was more than enough for him to level up.

That fight with the beast really drained his energy, but now that he had leveled up, his energy refilled again.

It wasn’t just his energy but his health also. Though he had just finished a rather tough fight, he didn’t feel exhausted but rather, refreshed.

His dirty clothes and rough appearance were the only tell that he was just involved in a fight.

“Host stats.” Harry mumbled. It had been a while since he bothered to check his stats, since he had mainly been relying on daily quests for EXP, his level hadn’t progressed much.

{Stat Points: 15]

===========

As expected, his stats had definitely improved. His perception stat was currently the highest out of all his stats, mainly because of the large amount od stat point he deposited in it during the fight.

Though this could be said to be somewhat of a waste of stat points, he didn’t see it that way.

If he was being honest, his fight with the stage two beast would have ended a lot quicker—with his death—if he hadn’t increased his perception.

It was only because of this that he was able to dodge and escape His level hadn’t increased much, mainly because the EXP from daily quests were too low for him to level up. However, those daily the beast’s attacks, albeit barely.

His level hadn’t increased much, mainly because the EXP from daily quests were too low for him to level up. However, those daily quests were the only reason his stats had increased.

Harry sighed and then closed the tab in front of him.

He walked towards the cobra’s body, and crouched in front of it while observing it.

Now that he observed it very well, he noticed the two small black lines below each of the mana beast’s eyes.

Looking at it properly, he realized that they weren’t just lines, but a pair of eyes, except that they were shut.

“A four eyed cobra…” Harry mumbled to himself.

Four eyed cobra were powerful mana beasts known for their speed and ferocious. They were called “four-eyed cobra” because of they were known to have four eyes.

They were one of the more popular breed of mana beasts, so Harry had already been taught about them in the academy.

Seeing as the second pair of eyes of the mana beast was shut, it was obvious that it hadn’t matured and was still quite young.

The matured and fully developed ones had all four of their eyes fully opened, giving them a wider range of vision.

The fully matured ones were known to be very powerful and even the weakest of them was at the fourth beast stage.

However, what piqued Harry’s interest wasn’t their history or the strength of the beasts; it was their value!

Every part of the beast was useful, from their scales down to their fangs.

Though this was only an immature and young one, Harry was sure he would make a cool amount of money by selling it.

‘Probe.’

[Name: Four eyed cobra]

[Perception: 84]

[Endurance: 91]

===========

Harry couldn’t help but gasp when he saw the beast’s agility. Thinking about it now, it didn’t seem too surprising that he wasn’t able to follow its movements.

He also noticed that the hyphen(—) in the beast’s health, but he didn’t think much about it and simply took it as the system’s way of saying the mana beast was dead.

With a deep sigh, he brought out his dagger and dug out the cobra’s beast core.

Though this made a rather gruesome sight as usual, Harry wasn’t fazed in the slightest.

He held the orb in his hands and stared at it with a strange expression, the orb was the same size as a tennis ball, slightly smaller than the ones he got from the stage one beasts.

“Absorb beast core.” He muttered, without waiting for the system prompt.

[Absorbing Beast core…]

[10%]

[40%]

[90%]

[Beast core absorbed]

[+8000EXP] 𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈

After absorbing the beast core, Harry placed the drained beast core which now had a dull white surface into his storage device.

Inside the storage device, there were a few other dull white transparent orbs which were beast cores he had already absorbed from the stage one beasts.

There were two more beast cores that he didn’t absorb, mainly because he wanted to sell them.

He absorbed most of the beast cores, not just because he needed EXP but also because he knew he couldn’t just sell all of them.

In the eyes of others, he was only a stage one Elementalist and the thought of a stage one Elementalist killing more than five beast in his first beast forest ‘adventure’ seemed rather impossible.

He was still planning on keeping the extent full power a secret.

He looked back at the mana beast’s body and sighed. ‘Maybe I shouldn’t be too greedy and just absorb it…’
