Starting Life as a Baron - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Killing a magical beast for the first time

Alan only needed to do two side tasks and he would obtain his third spirit of nature!

Soon, Alan and Marco, along with warriors, arrived at the bottom of two mountains that were about five kilometers away from Rose Town.

“It looks like we need to separate.”

Alan said to Marco.

“Wouldn’t it be too dangerous to split up?”

Marco slightly frowned. He wasn’t worried about himself, but Alan.

Although Alan’s strength was already very strong, he had never experienced a real battle. This was the main reason why Marco was worried about him.

“Don’t worry. I can protect myself.”

Alan waved his hand, showing that he was strong enough to protect himself.

Soon Alan and Marco separated, and each led twenty-five people into the mountains to search for beasts.

They planned to meet again after killing all the magical beasts in these two mountains.

In addition, both teams had the guidance of some warriors who used to be hunters.

It didn’t take long for Alan and his party to kill several powerful beasts.

Of course, the corpses of these beasts couldn’t be discarded. They piled them up to attract more beasts.

This time, Alan was ready to completely solve the issue of beast infestation.

Alan and his party saved a lot of time by using the corpses of beasts and the smell of blood to attract more beasts.

It only took them half a day to kill more than ten beasts.

Alan estimated that they had cleared almost half of this mountain.

Since this mountain wasn’t very big, the number of beasts on this mountain was also limited.

While Alan was lost in his thoughts, a huge wild boar full of violent aura came down from the mountain.

The boar’s sharp tusks and rough skin made it look extremely unpleasant.

At the same time, it was almost twice the size of an ordinary wild boar.

“A magical beast?!”

Alan was slightly surprised. He could feel the strands of magic power enveloping the boar’s body. At the same time, he saw the cunning look that flashed in the boar’s eyes.

This was a magical beast that already possessed a certain amount of intelligence!

Soon, this magical beast stopped moving forward because it felt that this was a trap.

However, it did not leave. Instead, it began to circle around them.

It seemed that this guy was aware that there was an ambush here, but at the same time, it was unwilling to give up.

It seemed that it was very confident in its own strength.

Alan observed this magical beast for a while and suddenly laughed softly. “These beasts are not for you.”

In an instant, he appeared in front of the boar, holding a sharp knight’s sword in his hand.

“Hmph!”

The wild boar snorted. It looked at Alan, and a trace of disdain flashed in its eyes.

From its point of view, this young human couldn’t possibly be a human expert. This small body might be crushed in a single blow.

“Oh, stupid beast, come on. Today, I have to taste the meat of the magical beast!”

Alan smiled faintly.

As the wild boar had gained a certain amount of intelligence, it roughly understood Alan’s words. The wild boar instantly became enraged and charged towards Alan.

“Stupid!”

Alan slightly circulated his fighting energy and quickly avoided the wild boar’s attack with the support of fighting energy. At the same time, he used his sword to slash the wild boar’s body.

Even with the use of fighting energy, Alan felt great resistance when slashing the wild boar.

It had to be known that the sword energy formed by his fighting energy was enough to cut iron like mud, but it was extremely difficult for him to cut this wild boar.

“This wild boar is thick-skinned!”

At first, Alan was slightly surprised, but then he became serious.

“Hmm!”

The wild boar roared after it was injured by Alan’s sword. Although it was a magical beast that had a very good defense, it would also be injured if it was cut by a fifth-level knight with a sword.

Scarlet blood flowed out from the wound, and the wild boar’s eyes turned red.

The pain from its wound made it lose its mind. At the same time, magic power began to surge around its body.

Alan immediately became alert because he knew that in addition to having a powerful attack, the magical beast could release magic as well.

Magic was a very powerful and weird means of attack.

Since Alan had been in contact with magicians, he knew about the power of magic.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, countless vines appeared in the woods beside him and tried to entangle him.

At the same time, the wild boar began to aim its tusks at Alan, preparing to stab him to death.

“Lord!”

The warriors not far away were shocked and rushed toward Alan to save him.

“Don’t panic!”

Alan’s calm voice rang out. As someone who was living his second life, he wasn’t going to be defeated by this difficulty.

He released his majestic fighting energy and shattered all the vines surrounding him.

Immediately afterward, he dodged the wild boar, wrapped his Fighting Energy around his long sword, and cut the wild boar’s neck.

“Brush!”

This wasn’t a random counterattack. This time, Alan had used all of his strength.

Even if the wild boar’s skin was very thick, it couldn’t stop the edge of Alan’s long sword.

The wild boar’s head was directly chopped!

“Ding! Congratulations host, you have defeated the third-level magical beast and obtained three hundred experience points!”

A notification sounded in Alan’s mind.

“Ding, congratulations on unlocking the magical species, Vine Swine!”

“You have obtained creature card, Vine Swine*10!”
