Ed, Raikou, and Suika kept walking in the forest searching for monsters to hunt .

"Suu~~" Suika was now on top of Raikou's head, It seemed to be her favorite place . Raikou didn't seem to mind either; although he was prideful he still doted on Suika and Bella .

Around an hour into the hunt, they had already killed about a dozen different monsters . This time they were fighting a python-like monster . The monster was green in color so it indicated that it might have some poison in it .

"Raikou, be careful in case it has poison" Ed pulled his two swords and got ready to fight after warning Raikou .

"Woof!" Raikou seemed to agree . Suika got down from Raikou's head and sat under a tree seemingly enjoying the show that was about to happen .

'Suika looks so relaxed over there . . . '

"Hisss" The python hissed at them and got ready to fight as well .

The enemy this time was stronger but not at the level where it really threatened Ed and his companions . After hunting together so many times, Ed and Raikou's team play was perfect .

Raikou would keep the enemy occupied using his speed and fangs while Ed would use his Shadow Steps to get close to the enemy without it noticing .

'The stealth effect of Spectral Shadow Steps is really nice' . Ed couldn't help but admire his movement skill .

After getting in range, Ed slashed at the python . However, because of its scales, it wasn't a life-threatening injury .



'Damn it!' Due to his miscalculation, the python now had its guard up and it wouldn't be easy to sneak up on it anymore .

Knowing that he couldn't sneak up on it, Ed joined Raikou in a frontal assault this time . After a little bit of time, the snake was already in shambles . Although its scales were tough they weren't invincible . Ed's 2 sharp swords and Raikou's fangs were more than enough to critically wound it . All they had to do was target the same spot again and again .

"HISSS!" The python seemed desperate now and gathered a green ball in its mouth .

'That should be the poison' Ed knew what it was . "Raikou dodge it!" He beckoned Raikou and moved away himself .

The python shot out the ball towards Ed but he dodged it easily, it then formed another ball and shot it towards Raikou . However, its enemies were too fast for it and dodged everything .

Less than 1 minute later the snake exhausted its poison and fell to the ground . Ed moved in and finished it .

*Ding*

Gained 1000 exp .

Acquired Gacha ticket .

'Nice!' This was the first time a monster dropped a Gacha ticket so Ed was excited .

"Suika let' move on" Ed turned around to remind Suika to go ahead only to find her eating the poison remains of the python's attacks .

"Suika no!" Ed was afraid she would get poisoned .



"Suu~~!!" However, she seemed to enjoy it instead . "Eh? Do you like it? You like poison?!!" Ed was surprised by his companion's taste in food .

"Suu!" Suika confirmed . "Well, would you want to eat this python?" Ed wasn't gonna take back the body so he thought he might as well feed it to Suika .

Suika didn't give him a response and instead moved into the carcass . She started to digest it immediately .

Around 5 minutes later she finished . 'I'll never get used to how she eats . . . ' Suika always directly dissolved her food so it didn't matter for her how big it was .

*Ding*

Slime evolved into Poison Slime!

After hearing the notification Ed looked at Suika and found that her color changed from light blue to light green, she also increased in size a little .

"Suika can you control your poison?" Ed asked with concern, he didn't want her to poison other people, especially Bella when playing .

"Suu!" She answered him with confidence .

'Guess I didn't have to worry about it' "Let's move on then" .

Suika got on top of Raikou's head as usual and they continued their journey, they still had time .

After a while they encountered some monsters that were running away, Ed and his companions were startled at first and thought they were being targeted . But the monsters only seemed to pass by them .

'Is there someone else hunting other than us?' Ed thought of some possibilities .

His answers were soon answered as he heard a growling sound that sent shivers down his spine . He looked at Raikou and noticed he was also nervous .

A huge black bear was making its way towards them . The bear was the reason for those monsters escaping .

*Ding*

Special quest received .

Kill the King of the forest!

Reward: 5000 Exp . Guaranteed legendary Gacha ticket .

Ed could only smile wryly at the notifications . The system didn't even give him the choice to run as he knew Ed would accept the mission no matter what .

"System how do quests even work anyway?" Ed wanted to know the details so he could control his situation more in the future .

[Quests are a random occurrence . They are activated when the host enters a certain situation]

'So, I can't control it at all!' Ed retorted in his mind .

"Raikou get ready we're gonna kill it!" Ed pulled his two swords again and Raikou got into position to target his enemy . Suika got down from his head and moved back .

The bear seemed to notice their intentions and got mad . Who would dare to target him in his territory?! .

"GROOOOWL!" It stood upright and growled at them . It was almost 3 meters tall now .

"System what is its cultivation level?"

[King establishment level 1]

As soon as the system finished speaking Ed knew it wasn't gonna be easy, but still charged in with Raikou . They tried a frontal assault this time to ascertain how powerful the bear was .

Raikou used his speed and targeted the left leg with his fangs while Ed targeted his right leg .

They were fast but the bear could still follow their movements . It knew Raikou was stronger so targeted him and swung its hand at him .

The hand was huge but Raikou dodged it and bit it instead, the same way he had done to Ed in their fight . However his fangs couldn't pierce, even Ed who hit the bear's leg didn't draw blood .

The bear's skin and hide were even tougher than the python's scales .

They both retreated and Ed knew this wasn't going to be easy at all .

'As expected from a King establishment!'
