Breaking The Ordinary (Ongoing) | #wattys2019

#22 last territory

As soon as he arrived in the jackals territory, he started the "purge" again. He didn't waste a single minute. But after killing around 90 jackals, Ethan met with a let down.

Stamina!

His stamina ran out. He was feeling tired now. It hasn't been long since he started fighting, but his stamina couldn't keep up with the fast pace. Now Ethan was in dilemma.

Up until now, he didn't increase his vitality because he didn't feel like it. But now he wanted the stamina.

He pulled back out of the territory of jackals in few Sprints. Jackals didn't follow him as they were already feeling dead by this "devil" that appeared from nowhere.

"System do you have anything to improve stamina?", Ethan didn't have that much time to look so he just went ahead and asked the system.

*Beep*

"Host can buy potions in store for stamina and health under elixir category anytime."

Ethan was elated and checked the store's elixir. There was every kind of potion for everything.

They were arranged in further classes such as low, medium and high. There prices were also according to that.

A low class potion for stamina cost 1 point. So did the health potion.

Medium ones cost 2 points. Store was good in elixir category. Then Ethan saw the high class potion, it's price was 5 points.

Ethan was in hurry so he just bought a high class potion of stamina from store.

Beep ...

"5 mission points deducted for a high class stamina potion."

Ethan drank the potion in one go as the bottle wasn't big. It was size of middle finger.

As he drank the potion, Ethan was shocked! He knew his condition. He was dead tired. But right now there was a cold current sensation was going through his whole body. The sensation was moving in a particular cycle. It was too soothing for Ethan. He just wanted to sleep right now. This kinda feeling was even more better than when he leveled up.

The cold sensation didn't disappear suddenly. On the contrary, it kept revolving. Ethan also didn't pay it attention anymore and once again started his kill pursuit.

This time Ethan's speed didn't decrease at all. He went all out with his attack and strength. The jackals were around level 20-23. So they all died by his single punch. But Ethan knew he was still lacking something and ...

That was a large scale attack!

He was good with 1 on 1. But when it came to multiple enemies or hoards like this, he was at disadvantage. This was his second time fighting. So he was in learning process and he was doing great. He knew he had to get stronger without help of anyone else.

So battle went on. It was relatively easy. But it got a bit messy after the boss of jackals come with level of 32. His head and tail were on fire and he could send those flames around too. And after his coming, the morale of other jackals also went up.

The fight was messy. But it didn't mean it was tough. Ethan kept on pushing and was at ease after some time. The fight went on for sometime. But both sides kept getting injured. Ethan was doing much better than the jackal's boss. His flames were getting dimmer by the time. On the other hand Ethan's hands were shining with tiger face! It looked really catchy but cool at the same time.

In the end the jackals couldn't help but perish under Ethan's attack. As soon as jackal's boss died.

Beep..

"Congratulations for host to leveling up twice."

It was single notification.

Wtf!

"Oii system i was waiting for notification for so long and you just said i leveled twice! Why didn't you notified me separately? Are you being lazy with your work! ANSWER ME!!", but of course the system was quite without saying anything.

Ethan also ignored the system and saw the third and biggest territory on map.

[One horned wolves]

The name was glimmering with orange light. The other two territories were only yellow. So Ethan payed a bit more attention to this fight.

Huffff..

"Shall me go to next one then .. ", as Ethan was planning to go suddenly

*Gurrrrrr*

"..."

His stomach rumbled. "I should eat something first and get to my peak condition. Everything else is good due to leveling up. But hunger ...hmm let's see", Ethan kept talking to himself as he was alone.

A few moments later ...

*Burppp*

"Yeah that was tasty. System you have good food dude. So you're a good cook hahah. Nice. Now shall we go.", Ethan got up as he rubbed his stomach with satisfaction.

Ethan pulled the [stone breaker] out of the inventory and put it on his shoulder. It is time to finish this dungeon.

He started sprinting and arrived at the last territory in about 2 hours. It wasn't that Ethan was slow, the territory was just far. After arrival, Ethan scanned the area and he started sweating.

[One horned wolf territory]
[160+ wolves ...level 20-25]
[40 wolves  ..level 28-30]
[Dungeon boss: Crystal horned wolf level 47]

As Ethan read the scanned detail, he took a deep breath.

Looks tough ...but haha

EXPERIENCE!!

*Shuuu*

Ethan went in the territory like a bullet leaving a black trail behind himself. As he was going forward, he saw a one horned wolf.

"Level 29"

"Hah ARE YOU EVEN WORTHY!!!", Ethan was in his mode. He wanted to fight! He wanted to get strong! He was dying to have a fight with the boss of dungeon. Not because he was some maniac. Just because he wanted to show off his strength!

*Ouwww*

As soon as the wolf saw Ethan coming, it knew that Ethan was an intruder so it started running towards Ethan to bite him to death. It was a level 29 wolf. A not too level wolf. But a proud one. The wolf was of grey color. As the wolf almost reached near Ethan, he sneered.

"FUCK OFF!!", Ethan swung the [stone breaker] with his full strength! The hammer came from a very weird trajectory, the wolf was dumb founded.

The hammer struck the wolf under its chin and ..

*Kchaww*

Its head was broken! The wolf was sent back flying with speed even faster than the hammer's.

"Hahaha CALL YOUR STUPID ASS BOSS!!"
