Chapter 8

Time continued to pass.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

On this day, in a corner of the forest, Shien, who was dressed in ragged clothes and holding a dazzling holy sword, was fighting against the enemies.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

A group of monsters that were armed with clubs, covered in fur, had a horn, and had ferocious expressions, roared and charged at Shien.

Each of them had a sturdy build, like a gorilla.

Ferocious waves reverberated around their bodies, just like the vicious bird with a human's face and a snake's body.

By now, Shien already knew that those waves were mana.

The monsters in front of him also had mana. By using mana, not only could they achieve the purpose of strengthening their strength, but they could also increase their body's resistance to damage. There were even monsters that could use mana to spit flames and lightning, which were very dangerous.

Over the past few days, Shien had also encountered monsters that could petrify their targets, and even terrifying monsters that could bestow curses on their enemies and corrode their bodies.

It could be said that if not for the max-level skills such as [Physical Resistance], [Magic Resistance], and [Abnormal Status Resistance], as well as the protection of the holy sword, Shien did not know how many times he would have died in the face of these monsters.

Now, facing these monsters in front of him, Shien was no longer afraid.

Looking at the horned monsters that were charging at him, Shien did not retreat, but advanced instead.

"Evolve!"

While running, Shien did not hesitate to use the skill [Ultimate Evolve].

At this moment, the max-level [Ultimate Evolve] gave Shien a huge boost, causing his abilities in all aspects to increase explosively.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, Shien's speed increased several times, and like a shadow, he dashed straight into the horde of monsters.

"Puchi!"

The holy sword flashed with a dazzling sword light, and in an instant, a horned monster that was charging at the forefront was cut in half at the waist, and blood splattered on the ground.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The horned monsters immediately roared in anger, and one by one, they pounced on Shien, swinging their clubs and causing the whistling sound of the wind. The shadows of the clubs were like lethal weapons, attacking Shien in a frenzy.

In this regard, Sean seemed to have eyes all over his body. His figure was like the wind, constantly moving. Sometimes he rushed forward, sometimes he retreated, sometimes he darted left, sometimes he dove right, and sometimes he even leaped high. All the incoming attacks were perfectly avoided.

With [Enemy Sense] constantly reminding him and transmitting the location of every monster to his mind, as well as the assistance of the [Evasion] skill, it was impossible for Sean to be hit.

Coupled with the Army God skill that gave Sean god-like combat ability and intuition, Sean's figure could no longer be seen in a short while. They could only vaguely see a gust of wind blowing back and forth, causing the monsters to run around in circles. These monsters were shocked and angry at the same time.

At the same time, the dazzling sword light pulled by the Holy Sword also flashed continuously, sweeping back and forth.

At the same time, the dazzling sword light from the holy sword flashed and swept back and forth.

As the battle progressed, the one-horned monsters successively perished under the Holy Sword's slashes, turning into broken limbs and bones as they fell into pools of blood.

As the battle progressed, the horned monsters were killed by the holy sword light, one after another, turning into broken limbs and falling into pools of blood.

This was all thanks to the series of skills that Shien had learned.

Now, Shien had learned a total of 13 skills to the max level.

In addition to [Providence] and [Supreme God's Blessing], Shien had a total of 15 skills. Compared to ten days ago when he had just arrived in this world, it was naturally completely different.

Especially the two skills [War God] and [Ultimate Change]. One of them allowed Sean, who had never fought before, to feel as though he was possessed by a real War God, and he was able to exert amazing combat abilities as if he was aided by God. The other could enhance and enhance Sean in all aspects. In this way, coupled with the power of the Holy Sword, Sean naturally soared on the spot, and he was just short of becoming a god.

Not to mention, Shien had also leveled up these two skills to the max level. The effect was quite different from when they were at level 1.

Even so, Shien still had a lot of skill points left.

After 10 days of continuous battles, Shien had already leveled up to level 10, and he had a total of 1,000 skill points. Even after mastering 13 skills, he had only used 130 skill points, leaving him with 870 skill points.

Therefore, based on his own improvement, Shien could say with certainty that he had definitely been reborn as compared to his previous self.

"However, I don't know if I should be happy that I've fallen to the point where I have to eat and sleep in the open every day."

Shien's emotions were very complicated. He did not know when he had stopped fighting, but he was feeling emotional as he shook off the blood on the holy sword.

All the single-horned monsters around him were lying in pools of blood, and their corpses were everywhere. None of them were spared.

On the contrary, Shien was completely unharmed, and not even a drop of blood was on him.

This was naturally due to the psychological trauma caused by the first day he came to the alternate world, which made a certain hero completely afraid to get close to blood. Hence, he had been consciously avoiding the splattering blood and the pools of blood on the ground.

Recalling the experience of eating and sleeping in the open every day, sometimes being awakened by monsters that attacked him in the middle of the night, and sometimes having to cut off the monster's meat to eat because he was hungry, Shien had the urge to cry.

"When will these days come to an end, Goddess?"

Shien sighed, but his hands did not slow down at all. He began to cut up the surrounding monsters' meat and picked out the edible parts.

Ten days was enough for Sean to hone some survival skills in the wild, and he was not averse to eating magical beast meat at all.

Anyway, he had the skill [Abnormal Status Resistance], as well as the holy sword's negative status immunity and purification effect, so he did not have to worry about stomach problems at all.

Of course, whether it was delicious or not, and whether he wanted to eat it or not, was another matter.

"This is forcing me to become Bear Grylls!"

Shien vented his anger by cutting a single-horned monster into two.

At this moment …

"Screech!"

Accompanied by a sharp cry, a black shadow swept across the sky.

The moment Shien reacted with the skill [Enemy Sense], he looked up and saw a monster.

"That's …"

The moment he saw the monster, Shien was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up.

Because Shien thought of something.

He thought of a way to get out of this forest.
