World strongest hunter

~Unexpected Encounter~

Kelvin has been here for a week now and hasn't spotted any low-tier monster ever since, training relentlessly since then, hunting Ground boars and other non-tiered monsters, that's what he called monsters like the ground boar without that didn't show any tier in their status shown through the [observation] skill, he grew stronger from how he was when he arrived here, easily killing a ground boar or two. He didn't only train through those days, he had already built a fort for himself and he was recording the mapping of the area. Kelvin was going into a cave he hasn't explored yet when he saw three dire wolfs preying on a dead corpse, they weren't like the ones he saw before, their skin was purple instead of red and they had black spikes instead of the grey ones they had with a single tail. Kelvin looked at their stats and this was showed.

*Species: Dire wolf

*Type: Poison

*Tier: Low-tier

"poison?", they were poison types dire wolf, that was why the air in the cave was so sickling, should he run or face them, kelvin had to be careful with his next decision since they are more than the last time and use poison, kelvin remembered the time when he faced the dire wolfs for the first time, not even considering him as a worthy prey, looking down on him, the fear, the pain, the humiliation and hate he felt that time rushed through him, he didn't hesitate for a second more, using the worn out knife he had been using from the beginning, he infused it with mana throwing it at one of the dire wolves, blinding it he then used [air step] to go over the other two going towards the dire wolf he threw the knife at, grabbing it as it was wedge in the dire wolf's eye, slashing threw its body. Kelvin jumped back after that throwing the now broken knife away, "two remaining" he said as he looked at the remaining two beasts. One charging towards kelvin while the black spike on its tail had a purple glow, striking towards kelvin's throat, he dodged it several times with the help of [light steps], as he kept avoiding the quick strikes from it, the other dire wolf shot out purple gaseous balls out from its mouth at kelvin continuously to block his movements.

He was cornered, close range attacks from one and long range attacks from another, they had a complete formation, kelvin tried to think of a way to disrupt their formation, kelvin noticed that the other beast had a little difference with the one attacking him directly, he noticed somethings, the one attacking him could block some of kelvin attacks that were almost impossible to see unless you have eyes at the back of your head, that's when he hit him. Kelvin jumped up using [air step] over the beast attacking him, in mid-air concentrating [Aura] at the tip of his finger, fired a big blast of [aura] at the monster shooting at him, but missed, still it wasn't a complete fail. The blast formed a huge smokescreen after hitting the ground, blocking the sight of the one shooting him. Kelvin used this chance immediately, using [aura] to from a blade around his hand to cut off the spike on the tail of the beast who attacked him head on while its vision was impaled.

The other monster was shooting blasts of purple mist wildly since it couldn't see anything, kelvin used the chance to fire another [aura] shot the beast but this time he increased the power to half of its full power, demolishing everything in its path, the blast from the [aura] shot utterly ripped through the dire wolf. All that remained was the now blind dire wolf in front of him, not a treat without the spike on its tail. Kelvin underestimated the beast furious instinct, thinking after cutting of its spike it was weak, but he was wrong, as kelvin approached it, it released a gust of purple smoke immediately enclosing the cave.

Kelvin was in real danger now, that smoke it released wasn't to just hide itself but was poison, kelvin immediately using a ki method to block the poison from affecting him, but the poison was stronger than he thought, just using this method wasn't enough to block the poison especially with the amount of ki he had.

Kelvin was in a dire situation, thinking of what to do, that's when it came to him. Aura, using ki and mana together can help both energies cover their weaknesses. If he used [aura] he could completely stop the poison from spreading in his body and also stop it from entering, kelvin immediately entered a form of concentration, a surge of [aura] currently flowing in and out of his body continuously. This method was extremely excruciating and hard, from drawing ki and mana together forming aura to circulating round the body to remove the poison and manipulating it to stop anymore poison from entering, any mistake or distraction could cause the process to back fire and killing himself instead.

The last dire wolf, though currently unable to see couldn't have missed the sudden surge of energy coming from kelvin, heading straight towards kelvin, the beast opened its mouths wide as he was about to pounce on kelvin. In that moment its mouth was directly above kelvin's head, his eyes opened with a white glow following after was a wave of energy blasting wolf backwards into the wall of the cave.

Kelvin stood u, as he looked at his body which looked like it just undergone a rebirth again, feeling a strong energy in his body he had never felt before, he felt the strongest he had ever felt in his entire life times. At the corner of his eye, with a strong force, the beast was about s***h kelvin, but without effort, kelvin caught its hand, drawing [aura] in his other hand punching the wolf into oblivion. After the beast died the system immediately sent a new notification to his front

Kelvin noticed after that he was a lot stronger that he was a few moments ago, "was the effect of circulating aura around his body that strong?", he asked himself noticing not only was he stronger and had more energy, but could draw in aura more easily than before.

Next day, kelvin was preparing for his next hunt, but since he lost his only weapon in his last battle. He was in a serious situation, being without a weapon in his current situation his very dangerous, considering what he battles against are beast, even with him using [ki], [Mana] or even [Aura], it's still unwise for him to go against monsters like that.

After turning to the system for help, he was advised to use the [memory pill] he was given before in the hospital as a reward from the Yggdrasil journal, he was hesitant, still traumatized from the pain of getting his past memory, and he didn't want to go through that again if he could avoid it.

Still what could he do, he had to find a weapon fast, unless, low-tier monsters talk less of high-tier monsters, he won't be able to defeat anything in the way he currently his. After letting out a heavy sigh, he gave in, redeemed the pill from the system, without hesitation, swallowed it, waiting for the excruciating pain that follows, but… , nothing happened, " uh?, That's all?, it wasn't that bad was it". He was relieved when nothing happened, but slowly after he let his guard down, an excruciating pain hit him, though not comparable to his first one, it was enough to make a grown man pass out.

"Alchemy? What's this?" those where what went through his head has he began going through the memory. A story of a young man who lacked talent for swords art, magic art and tactical arts, branded useless in a world were those skill were what those blessed would wield. But the boy didn't give up, searching for his purpose, he went into the domain of monsters, escaping death multiple times, just for his yearning for his purpose, he finally did it. An art that requires Mana but isn't magic, an art that could be said to be comparable to science of this world. At the age of 30 he became famous worldwide as the genius who brought on a new age, with this art you could manipulate, control, construct things just with the power of mana, it was shunned at by others as devil's craft, but that didn't stop his glory from prospering. But at his pick of his life he was betrayed by love ones, friends and family, greedy for his game and wealth, they conceived a plan to make him seem like a follow of devil craft, condemning him to execution by beheading. In his last moments he swore on his life to hunt them to the end of eternity.

"huff huff huff huff", kelvin was overwhelmed, apart from the huge influx of knowledge and memories that rushed through his mind, the heavy hatred, resentment, fear, regret and sadness of the person surged through him, if not for kelvin's high mental capacity, he would of being consumed by all the sudden emotions.

"huff.., this why hate this memory thing"

Kelvin still sympathized, the pain of betrayal isn't something he was new too, but he wasn't ready to carry useless resentments when he still had a lot to do.

Kelvin after he calmed down, noticed he could understand the properties of some materials around him and if he studied other materials a little longer he could understand them to.

His attention then went to the corpse he dragged here of the dire wolf's he killed yesterday, he noticed the wolf's spikes, fangs and claw could be used to create a weapons, also the thick skin could be used to create armor too.

Kelvin prepared everything he had to according to what he remembered from the new memories, after everything was, done he poured his mana into the transcription circle, after that a bright light shun followed by a faint purple glow. When the process was over a big smoke erupted from the circle, after it cleared kelvin could see it was a success and got new items.

*Two poison daggers

*Twelve throwing knives

*Wolf Armor

With this, kelvin's fighting power was better than ever.
