Chapter 4 Part 4: The Beast Hunt Begins

Near the destination, Anna deftly proposed. 

She was an experienced adventurer. 

"Take out your adventurer cards!" 

"Okay." 

"What next?" 

"It's simple just think of forming a party and inviting others." 

"Ding Adventurer Anna invites you to join her party. Accept?" 

The adventurer card notified. 

"Accept!" 

"Party formed." 

"Good that's it." 

Seeing that all three had successfully partied with her, Anna looked gratified. 

"Simple, right?" 

"Mm-hmm!" 

The sisters nodded quickly. 

Amy added: "Sister Anna, Brother Lu Fei my sister and I don't want money. Give it all to you. We're grateful you took us in and rescued us so… as long as you don't drive us away, we're willing to follow you for life as your support!" 

"Mm-hmm, same as my sister." 

Ellie immediately echoed. 

Anna flicked both their foreheads. 

"What silly talk! You brats now that you're my sisters, how could I drive you out? Besides, even if I wanted to, your Brother Lu Fei wouldn't allow it, right, Xiao Fei?" 

"Uh… all up to Sister Anna." 

Lu Fei rubbed his nose and laughed dryly. 

"Hmph so pleased with yourself." 

Anna rolled her eyes, then told the sisters: "You should still take your share. You're girls how can you have no savings? It's settled you two are our sisters family." 

"You're not slaves so accept it with peace of mind." 

"Mm, we understand thank you, Sister Anna!" 

"Haha, that's better." 

Anna rubbed their heads. 

The gesture warmed both Amy and Ellie's hearts. 

"All right let's discuss tactics!" 

"I have a proposal!" Lu Fei raised his hand immediately. 

"Go ahead, Xiao Fei." 

"Mm Sister Anna, to break level caps, I recall you need effective attacks on the beast, right? As in, the killing blow?" 

"That's how it is though it doesn't have to be the last hit. Mainly, you must break the armor." 

"Leave the armor to me. My explosion magic deals high damage to armor. Back home behind our village, even level-3 beasts couldn't withstand one blast from me." 

"Really? That's great armor-breaking is yours, Xiao Fei!" 

"No problem!" 

"So, Amy, Ellie other than healing magic, what else can you do?" 

Anna asked curiously. 

Amy thought and answered: "I'm actually best at making potions. Ellie is better at healing. Besides alchemy, I know some simple support magic can make traps and control enemies." 

"Ellie only healing?" 

Blushing, Ellie raised her small hand and released mana 

Condensing a water orb. 

She pointed at a nearby tree. 

Bang the fist-thick trunk was cut in two. 

"Sister Anna, Brother Lu Fei besides healing magic, I can only use Water Orb for attack." 

Only that was her attack spell. 

"Well, not bad. In short after Xiao Fei breaks the armor, you two dump your spells on the beast, and I'll go in for the kill." 

"Understood!" 

"Got it!" 

"Good we move out!" 

With tactics set, Anna waved and the subjugation began! 

Soon 

On an open mountain plane in the distance, Lu Fei spotted the target. 

Tiger-Head Hammer Bull! 

A two-meter-tall tiger-shaped beast lay there its muscles bulged, it wore a bull's head, black horns gleaming razor-sharp 

Its tail, a basketball-sized, spiked ball hammer, thudded at the ground. 

The horns and tail hammer were prime weapon materials fetching high prices from the guild. 

"So that's the Tiger-Head Hammer Bull? It looks fierce." 

"So big… are we really fighting it?" 

Amy and Ellie swallowed frightened. 

"Don't worry leave the armor to me. I'll go first! Let me test my magic's power!" 

Lu Fei smiled, not hiding his presence. 

He slowly approached the beast. 

Hearing the sound, the Tiger-Head Hammer Bull opened its blood-red eyes, glanced at him, and grinned, revealing savage fangs. 

In its eyes, it had a snack. 

"Heh~" 

Lu Fei smiled confidently. 

He spread his hands, aiming at the beast. 

"Die taste my explosion magic. Shatter barrier " 

" Explosion!" 

An invisible surge of mana struck the Tiger-Head Hammer Bull's skull like lightning. 

Rumble! 

A violent explosion erupted nearby cliff walls were shattered by the blast. 

Soon, the smoke dispersed. 

A crater lay there. 

A charred, split-open beast lay twitching faintly. 

Amy and Ellie's mouths hung so wide one could fit an egg. 

"T-that's your explosion magic, Brother Lu Fei?" 

"So strong!" 

Anna was also shocked. 

Though she'd seen it once, the impact didn't lessen. 

Xiao Fei's move was too strong! 

She had wanted to test a level-4 beast herself 

But he blew it half to death outright. 

"Uh sorry, Sister Anna, I used a bit too much mana. Ellie, how about you cast a heal on it then follow with an attack spell. We shouldn't waste this. Effective hits are needed for experience." 

Down in the crater, the beast shuddered its eyes were full of terror as it looked at Lu Fei. 

Are you human? 

Beast! 

If you're going to kill it, kill it you'd heal it first to kill it again… 

Ellie and Amy looked embarrassed, casting a pleading glance at Anna. 

"Isn't this kind of… wrong?" 

Anna couldn't help but laugh. 

"Stop dallying, girls hurry and act as Xiao Fei said!" 

"Don't pity it without Xiao Fei, we might have been wiped." 

"Now is the time to level up!" 

"Yes!" 

"I understand, Sister Anna!" 

The two steeled themselves. 

To grow stronger there was no helping it. 

So, the mountain rang with the Tiger-Head Hammer Bull's screams. 

"Graaaarrrrrr!" 

… 

Anna wiped the blood from her longsword, deftly separated the horns and tail from the beast. 

Then roasted the level-4 beast's meat. 

After killing the Tiger-Head Hammer Bull, Anna successfully broke her level cap. 

She was now a level-4 adventurer. 

All attributes rose. 

Most notably, mana and HP. 

Anna's mana reached 2,000 five times up. 

Her HP hit 30,000 twice up. 

Lu Fei felt she was the truly unusual one. 

But if Anna didn't talk, he wouldn't force it he trusted her. 

Lu Fei and the elf sisters gained massive experience jumping to level 2. 

And broke their level caps 

They could continue to level to the level-3 cap. 

After leveling, Lu Fei found his data had changed again. 

Adventurer: Lu Fei Class: 

Strength: 1000 

Mana: 1000 

HP: 1000 

Skill: Explosion Magic (???) 

Equipment: Holy Sword Esther (Unseal Progress 10%) 

The data had doubled. Not as exaggerated as Anna's, but still impressive his offensive power remained several times hers. 

Thus, Lu Fei was clearly a damage-focused berserker mage-swordsman. 

The sisters also improved. 

Amy's mana increased she'd be even better at alchemy. 

She could already make basic mana potions 

She just needed to buy materials. 

As for Ellie, similar to her sister after leveling, her healing magic's effect and speed both improved. 

Their roles were support no need to boost other things. 

Just heal. 

When Lu Fei and Anna carried the hammer-tail and horns of the Tiger-Head Bull into the guild, adventurers stared wide-eyed, shocked. 

That was a level-4 beast! 

A ferocious monster whose armor couldn't be broken without blacksteel weapons. 

A level-3 adventurer leading three level-1 newbies successfully subjugated it? 

How? 

… 

After handing in the commission, they gained more experience. 

Not only that the guild bought the horns and tail for 50 gold. 

Anna didn't keep them. 

She didn't lack blacksteel weapons now, and with Lu Fei handling damage, there was no need to keep level-4 forging materials. 

Thus, the mission yielded a full 50 gold 

Equal to 500 silver.
