Alaric rushes to a large beast, A Rank in nature, this was the Emerald Serpent. A strong, rarer, and FAR more powerful in power. It's two heads... And, well, there was a huge problem.

"So..." Alaric stands firmly, a pointed tail sliding off of the side of his blade, as Alaric cuts it off this time with ease. He grew a lot in strength, his muscles showing and getting defined besides him being 11 years in age.

"I would need to cut both heads off simultaneously to kill it... They don't have that jewel on their head, so that is a problem..." Alaric complained as he rushed in, he was in this for the kill, as,

"!!!" Alaric stopped, the heads coming in hot, Alaric grunted, the head hitting him head-on, he struggled to keep it back, the beast acting as if he was fighting a Ruby Serpent for the first time, he growls, pushing the head to the side, as...

"!!!" The Emerald Serpent's eyes widened, its other head being decapitated, Alaric goes for the...

"HISSSSS!!!!!!!!!!" The other head is cut off, the first one barely regenerating... The beast falls, dead, Alaric stares at its head, looking deeply as...

"It's dead." Suddenly a voice says, as Alaric grunts, on guard, the voice calms him down,

"Woah woah woah, settle down Lone Wolf." The man's voice calls him by his nickname, given by many, and they suddenly come out.

"Eh?" Alaric is dumbfounded... A warrior with a cleric and mage? Including another who seems to carry their belongings.

"... Don't you think about taking my kill. Asura is in high demand for the meat, here." Alaric hoped to intimidate them, but the man raised his hands,

"Hey now, we're merely C and D Ranked, someone of your caliber would be considered a god to rank below you. Well... Unless you find yourself in the way of an A to S Rank's target." The man chuckled a bit, as Alaric said,

"I am going to ask you again, who are you?" He demanded, the man soon introducing himself,

"I am Fret Frey, the leader of the party, "Uroboro." A pleasure to see the rising youth taking on A Ranked Missions." He introduces himself, Frey soon gesturing...

"I am Clara, the Cleric of the party."

"And I'm May, the Mage of the party." They all introduced themselves, as Alaric assumed that Clara and May were the D Ranked adventurers.

"I noticed you've been hunting these Serpents but not taking jobs... Well, for the time they're documented in more important areas. Why?" Frey wondered, unsure as to why.

"... Isn't it obvious? For the Silver Coins." Alaric states that just taking them without a mission to the guild gives him significantly less but also quick money. Whenever an important area has a serpent, it'll be posted and given more rewards. Alaric merely hunts them due to their popular meat in Asura. It is worth many Silver Coins. Makes you wonder what kind of money he has been robbed of from all the Serpents and Monsters he just gives away without a second thought...

"Hm... Why don't we team up then? It'll be a ton faster with us here with ya." He explained, as Alaric looked around...

Signs of others nearby are heard...

"... Sorry, but I work alone. I make more money this way for my family. I am not getting 1/4th of the salary." Alaric explained as... Well...

"Heh, wrong answer," Frey states as Alaric readies himself, about 20 D Ranked Adventurers yell, jumping out of the bushes, Alaric readies himself...
