Chapter 135 Blood on the Hunting Grounds

But she barely had moment to rest.

Finished

A chorus of skittering sounds erupted from the brush around her, and she snapped to full alert, tightening her grip on the straight–bladed saber in her hand.

Sure enough, the very next second, five Bloodfang Rats came crawling out of the undergrowth ahead, drawn by the scent of blood.

Fiona’s expression hardened. Beads of sweat traced delicate lines down the fair, porcelain skin of her forehead.

Level 2 Bloodfang Rats.

There was always a chance of encountering level 2 beasts inside the beginner hunting grounds.

Beasts killed and devoured each other’s beast crystals to evolve, and that process was impossible to fully prevent.

The academy didn’t bother clearing them out.

This was simply a reality that students had to face. The moment you stepped into real combat, anything was possible.

The only safeguard was that, for a student’s first few trips into the hunting grounds, instructors would be standing watch.

And even if you couldn’t win, couldn’t you at least run?

But Fiona had no intention of retreating.

She was not about to be scared off by a level 2 beast.

This was the trial she’d set for herself.

She would kill it, no matter what.

Fiona channeled what remained of her dwindling energy.

She had to finish this fast.

The Bloodfang Rats didn’t charge her immediately.

Instead, they scurried to the carcasses of the beasts Fiona had already killed and began devouring them in a frenzy.

They consumed everything, beast crystals included.

Fiona drew a deep breath and readied herself to strike.

The feeding didn’t last long. When the rats finally lifted their heads, five pairs of crimson eyes locked onto

Fiona let out a sharp cry and the crimson light of her SS–rank Sigil blazed to life, unleashing a torrent of ice energy.

She charged straight at the five Bloodfang Rats

Tall, athletic, and devastatingly graceful, she moved like a phoenix wreathed in frost, trailing plumes of freezing air. Her blade sang as it came down.

Slash after relentless slash. The fight escalated rapidly.

But Fiona’s real–combat experience ultimately fell just short–she failed to notice that the level 2 Bloodfang Rat’s fur had already begun to harden into steel–like quills.

Meanwhile, not far from Fiona, hidden in another patch of dense brush-

Steven was having the time of his life, happily cutting down beasts one after another.

Kill one, dig out the crystal. Kill another, dig out the crystal.

Life really didn’t get much better than this.

For him, slaying these beasts was almost absurdly easy.

Unlike a real mission, where the swarms came in wave after relentless wave-

Two full hours had passed.

He hadn’t even needed to use his Divine Sigil power.

And he’d already collected over a hundred level 1 beast crystals.

How was that not a good day?

He was already thinking that if he ever ran short on beast crystals, he could always come back here to restock.

Nobody watching over his shoulder? Perfect.

He checked the time during a brief rest.

Steven blinked. Well, damn. A gorgeous girl had just come crashing out of the brush.

Steven cursed under his breath. I jinxed it. Of course, he had to open his big mouth.

Fiona shook her head instantly. “No! Don’t call anyone! I can kill it!”

“Holy shit! Fiona, are you trying to get me killed?!

“That’s not just a level 2–that thing is on the verge of evolving to level 3!

“Call for backup!”

“No! I can kill it!”

Fiona wasn’t about to waste time arguing. She grabbed Steven’s wrist and dragged him along as she ran.

Steven wanted to scream. Why was she dragging him along? The rat was after her, not him!

“Let go! It’s after you, not me!”

“I need to call this in!”

Fiona’s grip was iron. “I said no backup! I can kill it!”

“Are you out of your mind? You’re Level 22 at best, you’re bleeding out, and you want to play hero? If

you’ve got a death wish, don’t drag me into it!”

“I said no! Even if I die. none of your business!”

Fiona had gone feral–a wild cat with crimson eyes, completely unhinged.

Steven froze for just a heartbeat.

“You are genuinely unwell. Every intelligence point you had went straight into your face, didn’t it?

“Fine! I don’t care anymore! Call for help or don’t, it’s your funeral. I’m out.”

Finished

Steven wrenched his arm free, kicked off the ground, and sprinted in a completely different direction.
