"An artifact this time and a skill book to master really spoiled me this time"

Layon stare at the book for a while and smile and reminisce the past, while he is still remembering the past, he heard something and thought.

  'Something or someone is coming here this forest is full of the beast, therefore, it's a high chance it's a beast if it's a beast I can kill it easy but if it's an Aura User I'm going to be at a disadvantage so I better prepare for a fight.

Layon put all the Item into the skin bag and put it in his system inventory the only item he didn't put in the skin bag is the silver gauntlet, he wears it and jump on the tree and hide, he wants to see first what or who the enemy is and then he will decide if he's going to fight or run. After a while it finally showed up It's not a beast nor a human it's a ferocious beast, A big cat who is bigger than he showed up, the cat has yellow fur and a Black stripe on his body it has a sharp claw and a two long fang.

The ferocious beast is tracking something he is smelling the ground the grass and the nearby tree, when the ferocious beast starting to walk towards the tree Layon is hiding he finally understands something and thought.

'Is it my scent this ferocious beast is tracking?'

Then suddenly the ferocious beast looks up in the direction of Layon's hiding spot and growls.

"GRRRRRRRRRR"

Layon jump to the nearby tree he decided to run for now and observe the ferocious beast when the beast saw him running the beast quickly follow and start attacking the tree where Layon jump on, the two continue to run for a few minutes one is running away while the other is chasing, after a while of observation Layon finally has his guesses.

'This ferocious beast speed and power is almost at its peak If my assumption is right this ferocious beast will become a level monster, but I think I can still beat it with my Aura'

Layon finally stop running turn around and activate his Aura, a white aura envelops his body like a barrier and his muscle starting to bulge up, he lowers his center point pull his right arm make a fist and put his left hand in front of him preparing to strike If the enemy becomes close enough, he will strike.

'I will finally be able to practice the martial art I read in action I didn't practice it fearing that I will become a Baura User but I guess it really meant to be practice by me'

But the ferocious beast felt something dangerous and it stops it didn't take another step and just stare at Layon while showing his sharp teeth, when Layon saw this he become impressed.

'Oh, this beast is cautious, if you are not going to move then I will do the first strike'

Layon stomps his right foot on the ground and dashes towards the ferocious beast then he strikes with his right arm, but the ferocious beast is more experienced when it comes on fighting its paw move then suddenly its' front of Layon, because of his dash he can't dodge the sudden attack of the ferocious beast, Layon gets hit by the paw of the ferocious beast and flew away hitting a big tree but because of the strong force he didn't stop there and continued to hit several trees before stopping, he spat out some blood but he just wipes it out and smiles.

[Notice your Aura defense is damage and reduce from 400 to 350]

'So, this is the feeling of fighting it's really trilling more than just reading it on the book, I need to change my tactic I can't just attack it like that again It's experience and knowledge when it comes to fighting is far exceeded mine, then what should I do?'

Layon start looking at his surrounding see if there's something he can use, he becomes disappointed because only trees and small stone is the only thing he can see, while he is thinking the ferocious beast finally move and run towards him and leap, Layon easily avoided it and run backward he still thinking on what should he do but the ferocious beast didn't stop there it chased Layon and leap at him again and when Layon dodge the ferocious beast use its claw to attack this sequence is repeat multiple time.

Then finally Layon think of something he stops and then he dodges the ferocious beast again, he runs towards a tree that fell on the ground because of the attack of the ferocious beast, he lifts it and attacks the ferocious beast but it just moves back and attacks using his claw, Layon use the tree to block the claw but the tree didn't fully block the attack and hit Layon, Layon flew away again but this time his feet are on the ground so he stops it before he hit the tree, fortunately, he has his aura defense so the claw didn't scratch him.

[Notice your Aura defense if damaged and reduce from 350 to 300]

Layon look at the tree he is holding it has been cut clean the head of the tree where the leaves are has been separated and now what is holding is just a log he smiles a little, then he attacks the ferocious beast again using the log but the ferocious beast fight back and use its claw to attack the log, but Layon didn't let the tree to cut in half again this time he moves the tree a bit and the tree just get cut a little, Layon repeats this action several times and the system notice starts popping out.

[Notice your Aura defense is damaged and reduce from 300 to 250]

[Notice your Aura defense is damaged and reduce from 250 to 200]

[Notice your Aura defense is damaged and reduce from 200 to 150]

And finally, he stops he looks at the log his holding and becomes satisfied the log becomes a log spike its end becomes sharpen like a nail.

The ferocious beast becomes annoyed because of Layon's weird attack it runs towards Layon again with rage in its eye but when it saw Layon's action it became even madder, Layon runs again with a Log spike on his shoulder while hold it by his right arm the ferocious beast chased Layon like crazy when Layon is within it's reached it finally leap towards Layon intending to pin him on the ground, but Layon stops and smiles he dashes towards the leaping ferocious beast and stop below it and then he raised the log spike with all his strength because the ferocious beast in midair it can't move its body and got stab by the log spike on its stomach.

The ferocious beast cries out in pain and struggles a bit before finally, it fell down Layon stare at the beast and said.

"You are a worthy first opponent I respect you"

The ferocious beast stared at Layon for a while and finally, its eyes closed slowly Layon become a bit emotional he don't know why maybe this ferocious beast is his first enemy that's why he felt a little bad towards it after the tiger died Layon dig a hole and buried the tiger and pay his respect.
