Chapter 9 - Bramble Bear King

Chapter 9 – Bramble Bear King

Opening up my map, because of my level restrictions, I could only see bits and pieces of the areas around the village. Beyond that was completely empty. Contemplating for a while, I finally decided to head North-East.

That was a little further away from Straw Dog Village and there are lesser players as well. If I get KS'ed as this special kind of healer class, I'll probably die out.

Looking at my skills tab, [Hemostasis]'s experience level reached 77/100. Just a little more and I can level it up. Level 2 [Hemostasis] can recover 100 HP in the blink of an eye, and my survival capabilities will thus drastically increase.

Onwards!

Carrying my sword out of the village, I took the path out of the Straw Dog Village area. I cut through the Hyena area, continuing into the dense forest. After 20 minutes of walking, I finally reached the area that I didn't dare to challenge previously – the Wild Bear Forest. Inside were bears of all kinds, all level 5-7. Taking a look at my level, it wouldn't be incorrect to say that I was forcing myself to take unnecessary risk, but I had 23 Blue Potions and should probably be able to fight prolonged battles.

On!

I charged straight at a level 5 Black Bear. I swung my sword and took care of it in 30 seconds, healing myself 4 times in the process. I spent 20 MP on one bear, which was acceptable. I went on to find another target.

A level 4 player killing a level 5 mob grants a little experience penalty, but the leveling rate was still half decent. In about an hour, another Black Bear fell and I reached level 5!

Gaa

The Black Bear let out a terrifying cry, and erupted into a grey hand guard. Picking it up, I realised I could use it.

[Black Bear Arm Guard] (White Equip)

Type: Cloth

Defence: 3

Required Level: 4

Wearing the White hand guard, my defence rose to 9. When I looked up, a level 7 Grey Bear was growling, its claws inviting me. It was looking me straight in the eye, which only spelled one thing – certain death.

With the sword in hand, I slowly advanced forward and looked around. There wasn't any other mobs or players within 50 yards. I'm taking on this level 7 Grey Bear solo, let's go!

Sou

I rushed forward and braced my sword. Reaching it, I brandished my sword at its head but only the sound of a loud clang could be heard. It was as if I was swinging at steel. The damage number I inflicted wasn't that high either...

{15}

Even with an attack of 23, I only hit this little. This Grey Bear's defence must be really high, even higher than the Black Bear.

Kong

Raising it's head, it roared loudly, swinging its claws, one of which hit my shoulder. I was anticipating the attack and when the Grey Bear attacked, I tried to dodge to the right but too bad, I still got hit.

{37}

It hurts like hell! The healer class with Cloth Armor is simply too squishy!

I swung my sword to deal more damage and at the same time, I was thinking – Why can't I dodge the monster's attack? [Destiny] announced that according to the player's skill, you could, with proper footwork and movement, dodge attacks. Why can't I do it?
