15 Testing New Skills (Part 2)

Evan stopped 50 meters away from the lion, the monster already noticed Evan but it did not attack Evan immediately because it can feel a dangerous aura from Evan.

Evan smiled when he saw how the lion was being careful when it saw him if it was before, the lion would have already attacked him without giving him a chance to even take a breath.

Roarrrr!!!

The lion roared at Evan when it saw how Evan was smiling in front of it, although it can feel the danger from Evan as a monster whose primary instinct is to kill it wasn't able to endure it much longer and charged towards Evan with its full speed.

The lion was pretty fast for a D-rank monster but when Evan saw it he felt like the lion was moving in slow motion, when the lion charged toward him Evan also moved.

"Haste" Evan used his newly acquired skill haste and his agility increased sharply, Evan disappeared from his place and appeared seventy meters behind the charging lion.

When Evan stopped he felt like his head was spinning, since he just advanced to D rank with his monarch core and his prime core also advanced to E rank Evan's agility increased by many folds and since he was using it for the first time he wasn't able to control it and instead of appearing before the lion he appeared seventy meters behind it.

"Damm! I will have to practice if I don't want to crash against something while running" Evan said when he saw how he wasn't able to control his new power.

The lion who was charging towards Evan also stopped and quickly looked behind it when it felt Evan's presence behind it.

Roar!!!

The lion roared once again and shot towards Evan once again, Evan also took a deep breath and dashed towards the lion but he did not use haste skill this time to improve his agility because he first wanted to control his natural speed.

Even without using haste skill, Evan was much faster than the lion and when he came near the lion, the monster used its front claw like a hammer to smash Evan's body but he easily dodged the claw of the lion with his agility and punched the lion at its face.

Roar!!!

The lion roared in pain when Evan's fist landed straight into its face and because of the impact, it was blasted ten meters away from Evan.

Evan was shocked by his own strength because normally an average rank D hunter will have a hard time while fighting against a monster who is in the same rank as him but here he was not even using his full strength and he was still able to dominate the lion without much effort.

"Looks like the power monarch core gave when it advance to new rank is vastly different from the power that prime core gave me" Evan said when he saw how he was able to fight against the lion without any effort.

Roar!!

The lion roared and stood up after being blasted away by Evan's punch, suddenly a black mist started to come out from the lion and covered its entire body.

The mist started to solidify after covering the entire body of the lion and soon the mist turned into armor that was covering the entire body of the lion, because of the armor the defense of the lion increased greatly, and with a loud roar, it once again dashed towards Evan.

Evan didn't care about the skill that the lion just used and pointed one of his fingers toward the incoming lion.

"Shadow bullet" Evan muttered and a dark bullet shot from his finger toward the lion with a frightening speed.

Since the lion was running towards Evan at its full speed it wasn't able to dodge the bullet and the bullet struck the lion at the center of its head.

The bullet pierce through the armor of the lion easily and even the tough skin of the lion wasn't able to stop the shadow bullet completely, the bullet dig deeper into the head of the lion and made a small hole at the center of its forehead.

Roarrrrr!!!!

With a loud roar, the running lion dropped to the ground when the bullet struck it at the center of its forehead, and black blood spurt out from its forehead.

"The power of shadow bullet is not bad" Evan said when he saw how his bullet easily pierced through the defense of the lion.

"I think I can easily take care of any rank D monster with my current power, I should finish this lion so I can go back and eat something, after doing so much today I am starting to feel hungry" Evan said and dashed towards lion who was still roaring in pain because of the bullet that struck it earlier.

With his high agility Evan came before the lion in the blink of an eye and once again used shadow bullet but this time Evan used three times more mana that he used before.

A sharp looking two centimeters long bullet formed at the tip of Evan's finger and he shoot it at the lion, the bullet pierce through the head of the lion and destroyed its brain.

Roarrr!!!

With a loud painful roar the lion stopped breathing and died, Evan looked at the lifeless body of the lion for a moment and remembered how just a few hours ago he was struggling to fight against the monsters who also possess the same strength as this lion but just after a few hours because of a single event everything changed.

When Evan thought how easily he killed the lion a small smile appeared on his face "I wonder what kind of expression those arrogant students of the academy will make when they will find out about my current strength".

After killing the lion Evan looked for the core but unfortunately, he did not find anything Evan was not disappointed by this and once again started to walk toward the exit portal of the dungeon.

This time he did not encounter any monster and safely came before the exit portal of the dungeon

Evan took a deep breath and exit the dungeon, to start a new life where he will not have to endure the mocking look of others and he can also improve his power.
