The whole night passed without any trouble at all. Aside from the two Iced Feathered Owls that the two beautiful foxes killed, there were no other monsters that tried their lucks to fight them, thus the rest of the night was uneventful
And Lyle peacefully slept the entire night.
Early morning the next day, with the sky just showing a glimmer of dawn, the sun slowly rose from the East, gradually brightening the whole world.
Although Lyle had seen this kind of scene every day, regardless of how many times it was repeated, the feeling brought out by that kind of light still would make his heart shake.
It was truly a very beautiful scene that can instill anyone who saw it a very refreshing feeling. As the sun’s light breaking up the darkness, heralding a new day approaching, also means a new life for every people waking up this very instance.
Deeply breathing in the fresh and cool morning air, Lyle stretched his arms and legs. His face wore a smile as dazzling as the sun climbing in the bluish sky.
A look of excitement shone from his eyes. He knew that new adventures was waiting for him … his game had only just begun! *o*
“Let’s go!”
Filled with a heroic air, Lyle charged through the all-encompassing green trees and plants towards the mountain range, while the black thins swords let out an excited howl from Lyle’s waist.
… …
The terrain within the Enchanted Forest was extremely complex, there basically were no roads within the forest, so the work of making a path naturally fell to the materialize two beautiful foxes.
Using their fox sharp blade-like claws, swinging, cutting apart the brambles in front, without affecting Lyle’s movement rate a bit.
Lyle followed just behind the two foxes, his vision and hearing both heightened to their keenest state, cautiously and solemnly observing the surroundings.
However, the fact that he did not seem to think this was any kind of dangerous place was still very noticeable.
Aside from his keening senses, his footsteps and movements were as if he was just strolling on a park, vivacious, and unspeakably happy. ^_^
After walking for a period of time, Lyle realized that this outer region of the Enchanted Forest was indeed not that dangerous just like what the instructors said.
However, it really was too dense. The trees was so thickly clustered and describing it with the words ‘hiding the sky and covering the earth’ was not a bit an exaggeration, thinking to see sunshine within the forest was not likely.
Lyle and the two beautiful foxes moved forward for probably one double hour or so. By now it was already almost noon. During this time, they had already encountered not a few demonic beasts, but for the most part it was E to D ranked demonic beasts, so he choose to avoid them.
Killing them would only be like bullying the weak, so he let them pass without causing any direct conflict.
Although there were some beasts who wanted to sign King Yama’s invitation but he still choose not killing them and instead let the two foxes sharp claws drive them away with only small cuts and bruises~
Lyle exerted some strength with his legs, and almost as if he were floating, leapt up on top of a seven or eight meter high tree branch as he carefully scanned about.
“Master, far away to the right, there’s a wild pig.” Yuki’s voice sounded out in Lyle’s mind.
Hearing these words, Lyle couldn’t help but turn and look.
Indeed, approximately over twenty meters away, a wild boar with a flaming red mane was carefully scanning his surroundings. If Lyle didn’t have dragon eyes, perhaps he wouldn’t have been able to see this burning Boar clearly.
Lyle’s pair of obsidian deep eyes immediately shone up, “Even though it’s just a D-ranked demonic beast, Flaming Mane Boar at least will serve for lunch. Boar flesh is rather quite tasty.”
Nimbly and vigorously, Lyle crept through the trees as he stealthily approached the boar. Due to the density of the local flora, the boar had not noticed Lyle either.
Whoosh!
Like a dragon leaving its lair, Lyle leapt out from the grass. When the Flaming Mane Boar turned his head and stared in shock, Lyle fell down upon it like a gust of wind.
The Boar let out an indignant roar, and immediately fired several fireballs straight at him.
“Hmph … ” Lyle sneered as he smiled coldly. “Yuki.”
Hearing Lyle’s call, the golden fox immediately turned into a black sword and immediately materialize on Lyle’s hands. Unlike Sakura flames, the black sword in Lyle’s hand was emitting golden lightning.
Slash!
With a swing of the black sword accompanied by golden lightning, the Flaming Mane Boar was instantly paralyzed and fell in the ground with a *Pump sound. It’s eyes bloodshot and its four limbs quivered momentarily, then grew still.

Lyle quickly jump in front of the Flaming Mane Boar’s motionless body, with an instant slash into the weak point at its unprotected throat while the boar was still paralyzed from Yuki’s lightning, he delivered the final blow.
Excessiveness was eliminated from all his movements, and his techniques were quick and his sword was heavy.
Just based on his prowess as a warrior, killing a D-ranked Flaming Mane Boar was not a tough feat for him.
“Although a D-ranked core of a demonic beast is only worth ten points, I can’t let it go to waste.” Lyle withdrew a black dagger from his waist, and with just two or three simple slices, he cut the boar open.
An entirely unremarkable red-colored crystal-like core rolled out. Lyle wiped it off on the grass, then placed it in the small pouch which was hanging on his waist.
And then, with practiced ease, Lyle skinned the boar and cut off the boar’s legs.
After casually chopping down a few branches, with a snap of his fingers, Lyle summoned forth a small flame. As the fire began to grow, Lyle squat down and began to slowly roast the boar legs.
Suddenly, a white light appeared from his chest and the small purple-eyed silver snake came out and began to drool. Its eyes were fixed on the boar legs.
“Hiss…” The small silver snake excitedly hissed as its eyes sparkled like a small child seeing a candy. It then rubbed its small head affectionately on Lyle’s cheek.
“I know, wait for a moment, okay~ ” Lyle gently smiled as he spoke, withdrawing some coarse salt and other ingredients from his waist pouch. “It’s a good thing I decided to bring some salt and other spices with me~”
Lyle was used to stay inside dangerous forest from his previous life. He was doing this from his martial arts training, extreme sports and adventuring …
After finishing roasting two boar legs, Lyle and Weiss, the small silver snake each shared one while Lyle began to work on roasting the other two.
— It’s a pity that Sakura and Yuki can’t eat. I also wanted them to taste it~ Lyle thought as he looked at the two foxes lying beside him.
“Hiss …” The small snake hissed while eating enthusiastically.
Seeing the contended look on the small silver snake, Lyle couldn’t help but start to laugh. “It’s good that you like it~”
————————–
A day had already passed since Lyle fought with the Flaming Mane Boar. During this time, he continued to travel towards the deepest part of the Enchanted Forest. According to his speed, he should now be at the inner region of
During this time, Lyle met more than ten attacks from Demonic Beasts, ranging from D to C ranked demonic beast of which he easily achieved victories. There were also several B-ranked demonic beasts but it only took a longer time killing it compared to the lower ranked ones.
The demonic beasts he encountered had become stronger the deeper he went inside the forest. However, the battles with the Demonic Beasts helped Lyle to emit a sense of genuine blood thirst and slowly hone his skills in terms of magic and sword skills…
As agile as a monkey, Lyle leapt past a series of disorderly tree roots and vine growths, but just as he walked past…
“Whoah.” He sucked in a cold breath as he saw something not too far away.
Lyle somersaulted in the air and his legs slowly passed through the dense leaves before landing on the branch of one of the large trees. He then swept his gaze below him.
Under Lyle’s gaze was a somewhat spacious piece of empty land. On it were tens of hurried looking students who were fleeing .
Behind these students was an A6-ranked Demonic Beast; Crimson Winged Lion which were persistently chasing after them.
Focusing his Dragon eyes, Lyle found out that these students only had the strength of a C to B ranked mages and warriors and naturally could not hold their own against this A6-ranked Demonic Beast. Hence, the situation below was basically them trying to escape from death.
A-ranked Demonic Beasts had a strength which was comparable to that of a two A-ranked mages or an S-ranked warrior.
However, this Crimson Winged Lion wasn’t an ordinary beast but a King class beast …
It’s strength greatly differ from a mere A-ranked demonic beast and its real strength was comparable to a few dozen A-ranked mages or S-ranked warriors.
“… Why did they venture this deep ? Don’t they know how strong the demonic beast that were staying in this area ?”
