Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Chapter 20 - 20



"Just as it is activated, you simply have to channel your intention to stop and it will," Jana replied with a smile. She was surprised in her heart. What she didn't say was that for someone to be able to make a field of mana, even at an elementary level, it was something that needed many months to even years of practice, but Nero did it with just a simple explanation. If she was not surprised by this, could she still be surprised by anything anymore?

*Awoooo!*

While the two girls were talking, they heard a wolf howl. It didn't seem to be very far away, which caused Nero and Jana to be on alert.

"Stay here; take care of them. I will look." Nero did not speak very well, it was more like words were missing, but Jana was able to understand. And without waiting, Nero made her wings grow and flew towards the sky. In the air, she flew south, the same direction she heard the wolf howl.

"Be careful!" Jana screamed not too loudly. But it was loud enough for Nero to hear.

After flying for a while, Nero spotted a silver-black wolf which was seriously injured, surrounded by 3 Green Slime and a Purple Slime. Nero saw that before there had been at least 5 Green Slime along with what appeared to be the leader of the Green Slimes, a Purple Slime.

'A wolf alone against a group of Slimes, led by a Level 5 Purple Slime?' Nero was surprised by this event. She was also delighted with how beautiful the wolf was. It made her think, 'It would be interesting to be able to tame this wolf...'

With that thought in mind, Nero materialized two stones from her inventory. She then started throwing rocks towards the Green Slimes and Purple Slime, helping the silver-black wolf.

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

It looked like a meteor shower falling on the earth as the stones fell from the sky, hitting the three Green Slimes, leaving only the Purple Slime which managed to survive being hit by the stones. The wolf, who had some intelligence, noticed that something was odd; it was startled by the fall of the stones but was in a state of surprise to see that it had not been hit once.

The wolf, upon seeing the stone rain, instead of running, laid on the ground with its two front legs on top of its head, wanting to protect itself against the stones. Nero had to admit this was funny and even a little cute.

When Purple Slime noticed her presence and seemed to want to attack, it spat something, which appeared to be poison - seeing as it was purple. Nero dodged and used her strongest ability to attack.

*[Queen's throw]!*

Nero threw the stone at a very high speed, and Purple Slime, which was slow, was unable to dodge it. With the sound of *Beng!* the stone went through Purple Slime's head, killing it.

The wolf that was still lying on the ground protecting itself, seeing that it was no longer raining stones from the sky, stood up on its four legs and looked in the direction of Nero coming down from the air. Caution and vigilance passed through the eyes of the silver-black wolf as it looked at Nero.

Nero, who looked back at the wolf, noticed that this wolf had a certain degree of intelligence (although, she thought the wolf was still stupid for standing in the middle of a stone shower). Looking closely, she noticed that this wolf was actually level 5, and remembering that she still needed to tame a level 4+ monster, she thought, 'I'm going to make this wolf my second domesticated monster.'

"You don't have to be so cautious. I won't hit you... Of course, you have to accept being tamed by me, otherwise..." Nero's eyes seemed to carry a malicious gleam as she laughed.

The silver-black wolf shuddered and wanted to escape as quickly as possible, but Nero was quicker with using her skill.

*[Tame Monster]!*

"Awooo...."

The silver-black wolf whimpered pitifully and tried to resist, but when it saw Nero's smiling yet fierce expression, the wolf was so afraid that it finally gave in.

"Good boy... Or should I say, good girl?" Nero realized her mistake when she noticed that the wolf had no male organ.

- -

[Tamer] mission completed!

• Reward: 50 [Essence Coin] - has been added to your inventory.

• Reward: [Orange Wand] 5 Energy - has been added to your inventory.

- -

"Awooo..." The Platinum Wolf did not dematerialize but howled painfully as if she had suffered a very great loss, but she was smart enough to know that she needed to win favor from her new master. The wolf approached Nero and rubbed her head against Nero's waist.

Nero did not mind this and stroked the wolf's head, noticing the fur was very soft to the touch. After appeasing the wolf for a few minutes, she made the [Orange Wand] materialize in her left hand. As soon as she held it, Nero was able to feel the mana grow a little. It even made it easier to channel mana towards the wand.

Nero then looked at the 6 bodies of Green Slimes and 1 of Purple Slime and decided to use "Plunder" on them.

"Plunder," Nero muttered as soon as she put her hand on one Green Slime.

_ _

• Would you like to Plunder the Monster Plant [Green Slime] Rank F: Level 3?

_ _

Nero clicked: "[Yes]"

Green Slime became a mist and was absorbed by her hand.

_ _

[Level F Monster Core - Level 3] has been added to your inventory.

[Acid Goo - low quality] has been added to your inventory.

33 [Essence Coin] has been added to your inventory.

Almost all five Green Slimes were at level 3, only one was at level 4. Very fast, Nero began using "plunder" on Green Slimes.

_ _

• [Level F Monster Core - Level 3] has been added to your inventory.

• [Green Herb - low quality] has been added to your inventory.

• 39 [Essence Coin] has been added to your inventory.

'I need to be quick and do this before the others decide to come here...' Nero said in her mind.

Now only Purple Slime was left.

- -

• [Level F Monster Core - Level 5] has been added to your inventory.

• [Bronze Ring - low quality] has been added to your inventory.

• 59 [Essence Coin] has been added to your inventory.

- -

Nero smiled nervously. She didn't expect it to drop an item when using "Plunder" on the monster, but that doesn't mean she was sad. In fact, she laughed after holding the ring and discovering that it gave 3 more energy (mana).
