Hidden among the leaves perched on a tree branch, Thirio patiently watched his prey on the ground below.
A 3-meter tall, deep brown pelt of fur reminiscent of dirt, fangs shooting from its mouth to just below its nose, and a body riddled with muscles. Thirio couldn't tell much other than it being an ape-type beast.
Feeding on a meter-long bear, the ape scanned the area with its fierce eyes before returning to its prey. This went on for 3 minutes before the beast seeming to ascertain its safety fully focused on its meal.
Seeing his chance, Thirio slowly circulated the energy in his first sphere around his body; feeling power gushing into his body, he charged at the ape below.
Sensing danger, the ape tried dodging to the left, the blow landing on its right shoulder.
*Crack*
Blood burst from the point of impact as a shockwave spreading rattling the trees around.
*Roar*
Anger burned within the ape's eyes as it looked at the being that attacked it.
Not giving the beast any time to recover, Thirio dashing towards it launching another fist strike.
Fueled by its rage the ape met the strike with its fist.
A shockwave spread from the point of impact as the ape was sent flying, its arm a mangled mess of flesh.
Landing against a tree the beast looked up only to see a fist strike at its head.
*Boom...Splat*
Waving the blood from his hand, Thirio looked at the headless beast and the broken tree before him with satisfaction.
'My use of energy is still pretty crude and my body doesn't seem able to handle the full force of the power in my first sphere at the moment.'
"Swallow"
The flaming vortex of his trinity appeared above the ape's body as it was slowly pulled into the vortex; fully digesting the beast the vortex returned to Thirio's body where it released a spark that strengthens his body.
"The increase in bodily strength isn't a lot, I guess this is as much as rank 1 beast can offer."
Dashing to his left Thirio was off on the hunt again for new prey.
___
The days soon became a blur to Thirio as they only consisted of him hunting and furthering his level of strength through the tempering of battle.
He saw exceptional growth after each battle as he became more familiar with the energies within him.
"Well shit, and here I thought my luck has been pretty good the past week."
Looking at the 7 meters tall walking mass of muscle, its claws gleaming and tough hide that made up the bear before him; Thirio eyes darted around looking for an escape route when a holographic screen appeared before him.
-Be Greedy-
-Sin's of Greed and Gluttony wants you to kill and devour the beast before you -
-Reward: rank 1 will crystal (2,000,000 ranks 1 origin crystals), Body fortification liquid, and rank 2 astral crystal (5,000,000 origin crystals)-
Looking at the rewards offered then back at the beast a fierce struggle broke out within him as he considered his chance of victory against the rank 3 beast before him.
'These bastards offered exactly what I currently need.'
With his mind made up to fight his will spread to cover a 10-meter diameter around him; rousing all the strength he could safely control he charged at the beast.
