Ray had level up his skill also and now had experience against some beast but there was the problem with his HP and he was already getting tired, he looked at Tank and noticed he was also tired and had a lot of injuries on him.

"Tank let's head back to the corner, we need to rest" without opposing this word, Tank had returned swiftly and was panting away as he rested on a tree.

Beasts were now appearing at a more stronger level than before and their number had also increased so they could only hope they were not attacked right now else they'll be going against multiple beasts at the same time.

Hours went by and the two were now sitting on a tree just at the edge of the valley, they were above the beast view and were able to avoided many of them while only engaging the few that spotted them. Ray had leveled up once more and was now closer much stronger than before but so we're the beast that were being spawned, the lowest level being a level 10 which was also Tanks current level.

It was already night time and the two decided to sit out the rest of the time, they could no longer match up with the beast and they weren't stupid enough to go up against them.

Soon, the light above began to dim and the spawning had ended, Ray and Tank let out a deep breath and a ding sounded in Ray's head.

Ray was satisfied with his current status, he had gotten much more than he had expected. He was about getting down from the tree when a long tongue gripped his arm and a burning sensation immediately filled his arm.

-4HP

(Shock)

Ray activated the shock skill forcing the tongue to come off his arm, he landed on the floor and stared at the beast in front of him.

Beast frog. Level 26

HP: 50

{Attacks with it's acid tongue}

{Has a slow reaction speed}

Ray immediately placed his eight free point in strength and dashed straight at the frog delivering a strong blow which brought it's health down by half, the frog was sent flying and Ray sent out a lightning ball to finish it off.

{+34Exp}

Tank jumped down from the tree and tapped Ray on the shoulder "you've gotten quite strong to be able to kill it with just two strike, why don't we have a duel" he said this while examining the frog but soon turned his head at Ray who appeared to be shaking while looking at something else, Tank followed his view and could finally see what was making Ray panic.

Humaniod beast Lion

Level 156

{?????}

Ray and Tank watched as the beast slowly approached them, behind it were about thirty or so beasts all above level 35, Ray could finally understand how they had survived the spawning process. The higher rank beast were being commanded by this particular one and the lower ranks were eager to escape from it's presence. Seeing the beast approaching them, Ray knew they were no match for og but at least one of they could try and escape "Tank run". That was all he said and Tank body had reacted almost immediately, he dashed into the forest as fast as he could not even bothered to look back and check for his new found friend but he couldn't be blamed, not when they were standing before such a beast.

Ray was about sending out an attack when one of the beast from the thirty decided to flee, it was a snake like creature and was moving with great speed. Just as it was about reaching the forest, the humaniod beast had disappeared and appeared fight in front of it and with a single kick, it was dead.

Ray froze at that instant, the thought of attacking was immediately earased from his mind, there was just no way he could fight against such a beast.

The beast appeared before Ray and pointed at him "Is Zorak with you?" It asked shocking Ray even more. "Y......you can talk?" Ray was confused by these sight, 'can all beast talk' he wondered.

"The name's Lukang, the unknown beast. And I hate when my question is left unanswered" the beast spoke once again, this time it's voice was louder and fierce causing Ray to back away in fright.

"Yes, he's my divinity" he immediately answered like an obedient child not wanting to offend his parent. The beast nodded it's head while examining Ray from head to toe "Zorak was my master and since he is now in you, that makes you my master also but until you become strong enough to command me don't ever try to find me or else I'll kill you at the spot" every word that came out from Lukangs mouth caused Ray to take a step backward till his back was against a tree. Lukang also began to walk away heading to his little group of beast "you should check on your friend, my gift should be catching up with him soon" these were Lukangs last words as he appeared beside his group. Ray eyes widen and his legs shook as those words settled in his head "Tank", with one swift move, he dashed into the forest with full speed.

..................

Tank had made his way through the forest, he had come across a few beast but they were nothing he couldn't handle, he had exhausted himself a while back but the mere thought of a particular beast was what was keeping him going.

Right now he was up against a catlike beast with three eyes, the beast was quite agile and he was finding it hard to kill.

He did not have the inspect skill like Ray and could only guess what level the beast was so he had to be cautious when fighting, this had also made the fight harder for him.

He threw his fist out against the cat but it had pounced backward evading the attack, he tried following up with more attacks but he was too tired for that.

The cat saw him slow down and that was it's cue, leaping up in the air and heading toward his head, the rat made a s***h trying to slit his neck but Tank rolled away as he sensed another attack from his back.

Bam!

A large rock collided with the can't and it immediately fell down dead, Tank shifted his head to the side as another rock appeared in his view forcing him to roll once more. He quickly regained his footing and was now staring at his attacker, it was a monkey beast with four arms. Tank would have attack such beast on the get go but seeing how easily it had killed the cat, he knew it was at a very high level when compared to his own.

Lifting another rock up, the monkey was ready for another attack but before it could throw the stone three arrows pierced it's arms causing it to drop the stone on its foot. Tank recognize the arrow immediately and quickly leaped out of the way as the arrows glew with a red hue and immediately exploded.

Boom!

It was a loud explosion and the trees in the area now had burnt mark all over, the monkey wasn't dead yet but it could no longer resist or put up a fight. Tank dashed in and delivered the finishing blow finally falling to the floor unable to hold his exhaust.

A elf jumped down from one of the tree and landed right in front of Tank, she was holding a long red bow and had several red arrows hunged behind her, her short green gown exposed a bit of skin just enough for her to feel free in her outfit "I see you've also gotten stronger" she said as she sat down beside Tank. "Sure, nice to see you too Elene" Tank replied quite playfully and the two began to talk and catch up not having anything to do and since Tank was busy resting,that was all they could do.

"You mean you left him alone with a high level beast? He'll be dead by now, we have to move now" Elene stood up in haste and had a panicked expression on her face, she gripped her bow and locked an arrow into it afraid that some high level beast might appear at anytime.
