Chapter 212: Dimensional Rift of the Third Order – Part 2

"Die!" Luan used blue impulse and appeared in front of the monster in a flash of light, and with his sword he cut off the monster's head. Green blood drained from the monster's neck.

Luan didn't find the meat of this monster useful. Some parts could be used for a pill, like the heart, kidneys, intestines, etc. Of course, last but not least was the Monster Core.

'This place is very dangerous. Even a simple monster is quite strong. I'm glad I came alone,' Luan reflected and continued to walk cautiously.

His senses were activated. By that time he had already removed his Second Order armor and dressed.

Before he was being overconfident. He forgot that now he was still weak. Although he could kill Third Order monsters, he could also die because of a Third Order monster.

'Damn, why does this have to be so gross?' Luan wrinkled his nose at the smell of decay coming from the monster he killed. This was an infected monster, and it had a lot of rotten stuff in its body, although it also had some useful stuff, like the Monster Core. Resigned, Luan moved away from that spot.

"..."

If the other monster had been disgusting, what he saw now was worse.

'Jesus Christ, how can such a thing exist?' It was a mixture of pregnant puffer fish with gooey frog skin and teeth that looked like square Trident gum, and its teeth were very yellow. The entire image was revolting just to look at. And the breath, my god, what horrible breath. Those monsters must have a manhole in their stomach, because, for God's sake, the thing stank.

When the absolute monstrosity noticed Luan, it ran awkwardly, swinging its deformed body into a round shape and oozing a purulent green liquid from his mouth, worse than this liquid dripping on the floor and smoking...

'Is this acid, or something like that?'

Luan wasn't insane or anything; he wasn't about to let this monster approach. With clouds, he trapped the monster's feet in his hand. Claws manifested, and his whole arm was covered with white dragon scale. Like a cat, he scratched the air in an "X" shape. The white halo that surrounded it went toward the monster like a boomerang.

*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

The monster's body was divided into four sets, being the torso, head, arms, and legs.

Luan caught his breath and moved closer. Even if he didn't want to, he dismantled this monster. It was of the Second Order, and the poison could be useful. Of course, when someone found out there was Monster Core, it was a happy thing worth celebrating.

After walking through the gloomy place for a while longer, he stopped. 'That's 300-year-old Mandrake.'

After taking measures to protect his hearing, he pulled. The Mandrake screamed but was cut in two and stopped. Luan was proficient with this ingredient and knew how to cut correctly without losing the effect to make potions and pills later.

On the way, he also encountered some other random herbs and plants, but nothing worth mentioning, although Luan took them all. Well, in this aspect Luan could be considered very petty. He didn't leave even First Order plants and herbs behind, but it was understandable since his family was still in the First Order.

"Tsk, another ugly thing like the first one." Luan clicked his tongue.

But this time he didn't let it get closer. He took a root from the ground and trapped this monster where it stood. Seeing that he wasn't able to hold back, Luan opted for clouds again. It took a little longer, however, to make sure the monster didn't escape... 'I'll use both together.' Said and done, the monster was totally trapped.

Luan held up a sword and slashed it with a 360 degree arc. A clean cut with a white halo came out and the monster only realized it was dead when he heard the noises of trees falling and a green trail of blood appeared from its body and it was sliced in two.

'Okay, now for dismantling again...'

This time Luan was faster. He'd already done it with another similar monster, and got another Third Order Monster Core.

'I still haven't detected any intelligent life forms. It looks like they were all killed by these monsters,' Luan guessed.

Not that this was rare; monsters could get stronger faster than humans. Although they lacked intelligence, monsters ate everything they saw that moved, which made them have a lot of energy in their bodies. Intelligent beings tended to have to be careful not to get infected from things they ate. Unlike monsters, something they ate incorrectly could lead to their death.

"Mm, doesn't seem to have more than a thousand monsters. Many of them are fighting each other to eat. Well, this rift is decaying; I don't think there's any way I'm going to free them all from their suffering, and reluctantly, I'm going to have to give up on some of their Monster Cores," Luan muttered.

"Oh?" Another rare thing in this place was the flower of death. Despite the name, if it was used well it could create a pill that strengthened the blood. For anemic people it was something quite useful.

"A forest in this dark place?" Luan, after walking for a long time, ended up finding a forest.

On the way, he was attacked again. The result was the same; he made the vine hold the monster and slashed it with his sword twice. Luckily, the Monster Core was unharmed. It was of the Second Order.

'If these monsters got out, I think they could cause chaos....'

This one had been, after all, the weakest among them in the Second Order. Those of the Third Order needed a battle tank and a battle plan for people to be able to fight them, and such things were not unlimited.

'Blood Flower... Another rare flower.' Luan examined it and found that it is over 200 years old. Another good thing. 'Glad I brought the two storage rings and also some plastic bags.'

As he entered the forest, he heard horrifying sounds: owls and wolves howling, ominous laughter, and eerie rustling.

'It seems that the worst place in this dimensional crack is right here.'

Fear wasn't written into his vocabulary. Luan entered the forest without flinching and continued to look for rare herbs and plants, as well as monsters.
