On top of the cold stone floor, Sae-Jin opened his eyes He could see Hunters in the far away forest, while the noisy chirping of birds disorientated him A Wolf could look a little further away, and hear a little bit s moved

Before he knew it, it felt like he had cos instead of two Because of this, a whole bunch of sords suddenly rushed out of his mouth

The amount of time available for the Human Form was 2 hours a day If he could be a human for only 2 hours thendisquiet, he got straight up and changed into his Hus with his oo eyes, then touched his face with his oo hands They were all exact the same as before He was truly relieved Tears welled up at the corners of his eyes

It was especially difficult in the hts of sleep

He always suspected if the him noas stuck inside of a dream Often times, he wished he was, as a drea as a Monster The taste of blood and flesh was still stuck between his teeth, the sensation of ripping away lives whole with a , all those things just served to wear hih… "

Sae-Jin let out a deep sigh But his tight chest and oo away like that

And the unusually drab, greyhim feel even more depressed than before

At least to somehow cheer himself up, he switched on the raht on a wall of the cave

" Pant, pant, pant… "

An Orc Jaguar was on the run fro such a deep desire for battle and victory was on the run? That was siht now, this very Orc was beset with terror even frorass behind it

The s this once-brave Orc scared out of its wits

The Orc’s eyes hurriedly searched behind its back It couldn’t see anything back there But that accursed s there So the Orc spared no efforts and put strength in its legs to run away

&8211; Awooooo!!

A Howling dipped in rabbed hold of this fleeing Orc’s legs It felt like all thenumb from the sheer terror

The Orc intuitively sensed the encroaching death and as it turned its head around… a huge shadow of a jet-black wolf rapidly descended down on it

" Kwek- "

With its throat grabbed tight, the Orc couldn’t even let out any particular scream, only a s "

After clearing its nose, the wolf pierced into the heart of the Orc with its razor-sharp claw When the hard tip of the claw penetrated past the soft tissues of the heart and touched so mysterious happened<

/span>

An azure aura slowly rose up like a s the Wolf from the claw buried in the heart of the dead Orc to the rest of its black body in a thin, nearly iered around for ahim to open his eyes in satisfaction

[You have absorbed the Low Grade Mana Stone of an Orc Jaguar]

&8211; Physical Strength and Endurance rise by 05

&8211; Agility rises by 02

&8211; Energy Manipulation rises by 005

&8211; If ?? uar can be acquired

‘That’s quite a lot Was it because I got an Orc Jaguar, even though it was still a juvenile?’

Sae-Jin, now in his Ebony Wolf For Mana Stones rather coincidentally It truly was through a coo, Sae-Jin watched a documentary on his TV inside the cave And in this particular docu why the predatory Monsters, such as a Troll in Ravenous State or a Two-Headed Ogre, beca other Monsters

At the end of the programme, the experts concluded that these Monsters possessed special digestive system that could absorb Mana Stones

Those words ended up rousing his curiosity, so Sae-Jin picked up a lowest grade Mana Stone he planned to sell later on and promptly sed it

Just like that, an alertpopped into view at the same time

[Condition Complete: Absorb a Mana Stone]

► The Passive Skill "A Growth Type Monster" has been acquired [Skill Proficiency Level: F]

&8211; When co in contact with the Mana Stone of a Monster, the host can now absorb a reater percentage of the Monster’s abilities shall be absorbed when the Skill Proficiency Level increases

He felt like he just hit the jackpot Sae-Jin then quickly went and ate all 10 Mana Stones stored in the cave All his Stats ended up rising by around 6, but unfortunately, the y Manipulation, only rose by a paltry 06 But he wasn’t disappointed at all He did find a neay to increase that important stat, that hy

He then really focused on hunting afterwards He would kill at least 7 to 8 Monsters in a day and absorb their Mana Stones

The stronger the Monster, the higher his Stats rose; as to which Stat rose and when, that depended on the Monsters he hunted down Following the traits of Monsters, if it was an Orc, then his Physical Strength increased; if it was a Wolf, then his Agility rose; if it was a Goblin, then the increase centered around Mana Affinity and Magic Strength

After focusing solely on hunting for 10 days…

‘All that’s left to do is to evolve…’

Sae-Jin sighed, it co~ from the maws of the wolf

As far as he knew, or for that est species of the wolf-type Monster in the Monster field
