Chapter 88: Third Grass Field And A New Skill (Part 1)

"I should reach there by tomorrow..." Evan muttered as he looked at a small map in his hand.

It had been two days since he cleared the second grass field. And because he wasn’t wasting time hunting magical beasts, his traveling speed was very fast.

While moving towards the third grass field, Evan couldn’t help but think about the strangeness of this grass field.

Not to mention that magical beasts appeared there out of nowhere, the strangest thing was that this place was in a completely open space inside the Dream Forest.

Just like how Evan found this place, many people should have also found this place easily if they entered the Dream Forest.

Before coming to the Dream Forest, he had looked at the information carefully. But in none of the information he saw was there any mention of this grass field, as if none of the people had ever encountered this place.

This thing greatly confused him, and he couldn’t understand the reason behind it.

’I wonder if I will be able to find any information about these grass fields after collecting all four shards of the Entrance Authority Token.’ Evan thought and finally climbed up a tree to take a rest and eat something.

While eating, he saw a group of magical beasts walking deep in the forest.

There were over thirty unranked magical beasts, and they were being led by two Rank One magical beasts.

Evan did not show any surprise at such a scene, as it had become a common sight for him over the past two days.

The deeper he went into the forest, the more groups of Rank One magical beasts he saw.

But he didn’t kill or attack any of them. Not to mention that the amount of stat points these Rank One magical beasts, which were not even at Level 50, would give him was negligible.

He did not want to attract the attention of any powerful magical beasts, as he was already quite deep inside, and there were definitely some Rank Two magical beasts in this deeper area.

Looking at the group of traveling beasts, Evan took a bite of dried meat jerky.

’Can I fight against a Rank Two magical beast with my current power?’ He thought with narrowed eyes.

Although Evan knew he could easily kill even a peak Rank One magical beast, he still wasn’t sure about fighting against a Rank Two magical beast.

After all, as far as he knew, the difference between a Rank One and Rank Two Evolver was very big.

’Although not much, I can still improve my stat points a little bit by killing peak Rank One magical beasts...’ He thought before swallowing the entire piece of meat jerky and jumping down from the tree.

’In the third grass field, I think I will encounter some high-level Rank One magical beasts that should help me increase my stats a bit more.’ He thought and continued to move towards the third grass field.

While moving, Evan saw many magical beasts, but he ignored them and continued on his way.

The day passed just like that, and when it was about to get dark, Evan stopped and found a good spot to rest.

Soon, he was sitting comfortably on a high tree while eating a piece of steak and looking at the slowly sinking sun.

ROAR!!!

Just as he was enjoying the view, a powerful roar came from afar, almost making him jump in fright.

"This roar..." Evan looked in the direction the roar came from, and his eyes narrowed.

The magical beast that roared was quite far away from him, but just from this roar, Evan felt a power that no Rank One magical beast could release.

’A Rank Two magical beast.’ He thought and from the power behind that roar, he was certain the level of that beast was close to level 80.

From Level 51 to 100, it was the domain of Rank Two. Compared to a newly advanced Level 51 Rank Two Evolver, a Level 80 Rank Two Evolver would definitely be far more powerful.

Evan stared in the direction the roar came from but did not change his location, as the roar came from very far away from him.

From this roar, Evan also got a primary idea of his own strength.

’I am sure I can’t beat this magical beast that just roared, but if it’s just a newly advanced one... I think I can at least give it a try.’ He thought to himself before quickly shaking his head, feeling that his thoughts were quite dangerous.

’Damn it, it’s definitely because of Elena that I am thinking about courting death for no reason...’

He took a deep breath and shifted his gaze towards the sinking sun again.

Soon, night fell, and Evan slept peacefully in the tree.

The next day, he moved towards the third grass field early in the morning, and around two hours later, he reached his destination.

Looking at the familiar grass field before him, Evan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

’I hope there will be some peak Rank One magical beasts inside so that I can get a decent amount of stat points...’ He thought before taking a step forward.

After entering the grass field, just like before, Evan started walking towards the center of the field.

And just as he reached close to the center, he once again felt faint fluctuations, and soon, magical beasts started to appear around him.

This time, there were eight Rank One magical beasts that appeared before him: two Thunder Horses, two titan elephants just like before, one salamander, two cat-like magical beasts that were just one meter in height, and lastly, a brown bear.

The bear stood at the back of them, and its aura was the strongest, making Evan’s eyes light up.

’A peak Rank One.’ He thought, staring at the bear.

Even among the other seven magical beasts, the lowest was at Level 40, making Evan nod in satisfaction.

For other Rank One Evolvers, facing such a group might be a death challenge. But for him, it was just a way to increase his stat points even further.

Just as Evan was thinking, he felt more fluctuations around him, and soon, another thirty unranked magical beasts appeared.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! - - - -

All the magical beasts let out deafening roars, making the surrounding air vibrate. If it was someone with weaker will, they might have collapsed even without putting up a fight.

But Evan didn’t show any expression at such a scene and watched everything calmly.

Suddenly, his eyes glowed green, and he used the Wind Monarch skill.

Around 20% of his mana disappeared in an instant, and the next second, all thirty newly arrived unranked magical beasts felt the air around them tremble slightly.

Before they could react, wind spears appeared around all of them.

Swish! Swish! - - - -

The wind spears pierced through the defenses of all the unranked magical beasts like a hot knife through butter. The smell of blood permeated the grassy field, and all thirty unranked magical beasts died in just one second.

[You have killed Unranked Giant Hyena Level 24]

Notifications kept appearing before Evan, but he paid no attention to them, as his eyes were fixed on the bear, which seemed to be the leader of the group.

ROAR!

The bear let out an enraged roar when it saw so many beasts dying in an instant, and its eyes turned bloodshot.

Hearing the bear’s roar, all the Rank One magical beasts took their positions to attack Evan.

The two Thunder Horses were the fastest ones. They both dashed at Evan at the same time, arcs of lightning crackling around them.

These two horses were the fastest Rank One magical beasts Evan had ever seen, but—

Swish!

Evan disappeared from the place where he was standing and appeared before one of the running horses as if he had teleported.

The horse was stunned when Evan suddenly appeared before it and tried to dodge.

But Evan’s agility was just too high. Wind wrapped around his fist and took the shape of a sharp spike protruding from his knuckles.

Without wasting any time, he punched at the head of the horse.

His fist, with the spike, easily pierced all the way through until it reached the Thunder Horse’s brain, and a notification flashed before his eyes.
