Chapter 288 Hacking The Alpha!

(From MC Perspective)

The Brown Alpha Wolf realises its momentum has dropped down. It Immediately uses its rest of the power to attack the enemy.

By looking at the monster's last desperate attempt, I knew this time my double repair strength is enough to hack the monster.

I held by black sword and aimed at its neck region.

Just as the alpha closed on me, I used my leg technique to evade the direct Confrontation. Next moment, I stepped sideways and made a full swing at its neck.

My sudden movement caught Alpha off guard. Before it could move, the black blade penetrated its skin. This time the balde went a little deeper. Feeling the agonizing pain, the alpha howled back and directly used its soil manipulation to throw off the enemy.

I leaped backward by seeing its soil manipulation. Even at its desperation, the monster continues to use its soil manipulation. But its efforts were useless in front of my perceptual ability.

I smirked and then again swung my sword to hack it's neck. In the next two attacks, its neck will be sliced.

Perceiving the danger, for the first time the Monster felt weak in front of the enemy. At this point of the time the Monster's strength reverts back to the original strength.

The alpha's neck sustained deep injury. The alpha's cunning eye flashes with light, it makes a sudden decision to back away.

As it tries to turn around, the black blade again reaches its neck. This time the angel seems to be perfect. With one heavy slice the monster's head fell off.

Maria from the other end wide opened her mouth in disbelief. She is still clueless, why Monster's strength falls down so quickly. But more than that she is happy that the monster has finally died.

She stood up and walked towards Zack with joy.

"Phew!" This monster really gave me a scare. If it goes on I think I'm going to be exposed today. But fortunately, I'm saved.

Then I approached the body and began to hack to retrieve its core. I spend too much time here, soon someone or some monsters will come for sure. I need to slice its parts before moving away. My eyes gleamed with ecstasy, as I looked at giant alpha's body.

The Parts of Alpha wolf are expensive compared to normal monsters. This one is a little special. Class 2 Peak Monster with weird ability.

Just as I was hacking its parts, Maria approached me at this time.

Turning towards her, I asked, "Are you alright?"

Maria nodded and replied, " I'm fine!" Then she looked at Zack from top to bottom with scruitning gaze and added, "Zack, You are really strong. Now, You can even fight against and kill a Mid level Class 2 Monster."

I was choked up by her words. What a mid level? It's a Pseudo Class 3 one. Shaking my head, I can only cry inside and can't tell her.

"Help me slice up its parts" I said.

Maria nodded and took her blow sword out of sheat to slice.

Few minutes later,

I placed all of the alpha's parts in the storage ring. It's good that from beginning to end, Maria didn't raise any unwanted questions.

In between I also set my focus on perception to look around the area. Fortunately no one came after the battle. Seeing there is no movement of blue and red dots 20 metres around me, My heart eases down.

On normal days, I can use perception without much worry. But in this dense jungle, it's very challenging.

"Zack, What are you thinking?" Maria called out.

Then I retracted my thoughts and replied, "We shouldn't waste too much around here. It's better to move right now."

Maria nodded, then both of them cooperated to erase the trace of battle. After doing that they move a little deeper towards the core area.

Maria observes the direction that Zack was leading to and she couldn't help but frown. She knows this direction leads to the core area further.

She had already made a mistake by convincing her clanmates to go for the core area. Because of her they had lost their life right now.

If she again goes on like this the danger is going to increase again. She also had some knowledge about the Monster Zones. Only boss level monsters choose to live in the core area, like the brown alpha wolf.

It already took a great deal to kill the alpha monster. Right now she doesn't have the confidence to face more powerful monsters along the way. Before coming here, her father and old butler repeatedly advised her to not go near the inner area.

But when she came she didn't come across any strong monsters in the inner area. That's why her heart prompted her to try the core region. She bit her lips by feeling powerless, then she suddenly halted her footsteps.

I extended my black sword to hack down the overgrown bushes and leaves to make a pathway. At the same time my mind is also set on the surroundings.

Right now other than me, there is only one blue dot behind me, which is Maria. "Hmmm" I focused on the blue dot a little more which appears to be stagante on one spot.

My heart is alarmed by feeling something bad happen to her. I hurriedly turned around to see her but there was no silhouette. Then I immediately ran towards the blue dot spot. In a few breaths, I saw Maria.

She sat on the rock in daze. After confirming she was fine, I sighed in relief. "This girl, What's wrong with her brain?" I muttered while walking towards her.

Perceiving my gaze, Maria opened her eyes and said in apologetic tone, "I'm sorry. I can't go on."

I massaged my temple slightly and asked "What happened? Do you want to go back?" I know in the core area, she is nothing but a drag bottle.

Yet, I couldn't leave her just like that. She lost her clanmates and it's impossible to walk back alone. Looks like I need to abort this trip.
