Chapter 13: The evolution and The danger

Ed, Raikou, and Suika kept walking in the forest searching for monsters to hunt.

"Suu~~" Suika was now on top of Raikou's head, It seemed to be her favorite place. Raikou didn't seem to mind either; although he was prideful he still doted on Suika and Bella.

Around an hour into the hunt, they had already killed about a dozen different monsters. This time they were fighting a python-like monster. The monster was green in color so it indicated that it might have some poison in it.

"Raikou, be careful in case it has poison" Ed pulled his two swords and got ready to fight after warning Raikou.

"Woof!" Raikou seemed to agree. Suika got down from Raikou's head and sat under a tree seemingly enjoying the show that was about to happen.

'Suika looks so relaxed over there...'

"Hisss" The python hissed at them and got ready to fight as well.

The enemy this time was stronger but not at the level where it really threatened Ed and his companions. After hunting together so many times, Ed and Raikou's team play was perfect.

Raikou would keep the enemy occupied using his speed and fangs while Ed would use his Shadow Steps to get close to the enemy without it noticing.

'The stealth effect of Spectral Shadow Steps is really nice'. Ed couldn't help but admire his movement skill.

After getting in range, Ed slashed at the python. However, because of its scales, it wasn't a life-threatening injury.

'Damn it!' Due to his miscalculation, the python now had its guard up and it wouldn't be easy to sneak up on it anymore.

Knowing that he couldn't sneak up on it, Ed joined Raikou in a frontal assault this time. After a little bit of time, the snake was already in shambles. Although its scales were tough they weren't invincible. Ed's 2 sharp swords and Raikou's fangs were more than enough to critically wound it. All they had to do was target the same spot again and again.

"HISSS!" The python seemed desperate now and gathered a green ball in its mouth.

'That should be the poison' Ed knew what it was. "Raikou dodge it!" He beckoned Raikou and moved away himself.

The python shot out the ball towards Ed but he dodged it easily, it then formed another ball and shot it towards Raikou. However, its enemies were too fast for it and dodged everything.

Less than 1 minute later the snake exhausted its poison and fell to the ground. Ed moved in and finished it.

*Ding*

Gained 1000 exp.

Acquired Gacha ticket.

'Nice!' This was the first time a monster dropped a Gacha ticket so Ed was excited.

"Suika let' move on" Ed turned around to remind Suika to go ahead only to find her eating the poison remains of the python's attacks.

"Suika no!" Ed was afraid she would get poisoned.

"Suu~~!!" However, she seemed to enjoy it instead. "Eh? Do you like it? You like poison?!!" Ed was surprised by his companion's taste in food.

"Suu!" Suika confirmed. "Well, would you want to eat this python?" Ed wasn't gonna take back the body so he thought he might as well feed it to Suika.

Suika didn't give him a response and instead moved into the carcass. She started to digest it immediately.

Around 5 minutes later she finished. 'I'll never get used to how she eats...' Suika always directly dissolved her food so it didn't matter for her how big it was.

*Ding*

Slime evolved into Poison Slime!

After hearing the notification Ed looked at Suika and found that her color changed from light blue to light green, she also increased in size a little.

"Suika can you control your poison?" Ed asked with concern, he didn't want her to poison other people, especially Bella when playing.

"Suu!" She answered him with confidence.

'Guess I didn't have to worry about it' "Let's move on then".

Suika got on top of Raikou's head as usual and they continued their journey, they still had time.

After a while they encountered some monsters that were running away, Ed and his companions were startled at first and thought they were being targeted. But the monsters only seemed to pass by them.

'Is there someone else hunting other than us?' Ed thought of some possibilities.

His answers were soon answered as he heard a growling sound that sent shivers down his spine. He looked at Raikou and noticed he was also nervous.

A huge black bear was making its way towards them. The bear was the reason for those monsters escaping.

*Ding*

Special quest received.

Kill the King of the forest!

Reward: 5000 Exp. Guaranteed legendary Gacha ticket.

Ed could only smile wryly at the notifications. The system didn't even give him the choice to run as he knew Ed would accept the mission no matter what.

"System how do quests even work anyway?" Ed wanted to know the details so he could control his situation more in the future.

[Quests are a random occurrence. They are activated when the host enters a certain situation]

'So, I can't control it at all!' Ed retorted in his mind.

"Raikou get ready we're gonna kill it!" Ed pulled his two swords again and Raikou got into position to target his enemy. Suika got down from his head and moved back.

The bear seemed to notice their intentions and got mad. Who would dare to target him in his territory?!.

"GROOOOWL!" It stood upright and growled at them. It was almost 3 meters tall now.

"System what is its cultivation level?"

[King establishment level 1]

As soon as the system finished speaking Ed knew it wasn't gonna be easy, but still charged in with Raikou. They tried a frontal assault this time to ascertain how powerful the bear was.

Raikou used his speed and targeted the left leg with his fangs while Ed targeted his right leg.

They were fast but the bear could still follow their movements. It knew Raikou was stronger so targeted him and swung its hand at him.

The hand was huge but Raikou dodged it and bit it instead, the same way he had done to Ed in their fight. However his fangs couldn't pierce, even Ed who hit the bear's leg didn't draw blood.

The bear's skin and hide were even tougher than the python's scales.

They both retreated and Ed knew this wasn't going to be easy at all.

'As expected from a King establishment!'
