Chapter 28 - CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT Hunters and Prey

They all climb on the tree and see that there is a dead body of a winged panther.

'Damn, dead body of 3rd grade demon breast.' Mo said looking at a golden mark on beast chest.

'Kevin, check if there is a core left?' Kalp said.

'What! I have to dirty my hands.' Saying this Kevin looks at Kalp.

'Fine, I am doing it.' Kevin says and cuts the chest and takes out the blood red core.

'Yes, without fighting, we already get one core.' Kevin says in excitement.

'Now, we just have to find one more core.' Katrine said.

'Kevin, give that core to Alice.' Kalp said.

'Why she?' Katrine said.

'Because when other students try to steal our core, then Alice is the only one who can protect cores.' Kalp said and then Kevin gives that core to Alice.

'So, what should we do with this body?' Mo asked.

Kalp takes out a big bag from the storage bag.

'Put the dead body in this bag, we will use this body as bait.' Kalp said.

'I don't understand one thing, what is dead body of 3rd grade demon beast doing here? In this area, we can only find highest 2nd grade demon beast.' Alice said.

'We are near danger zone where 3rd grade beast is normal and this body looks like it was lying and died because of internal injuries. After the fight he came here to heal himself but he died.' Kalp said.

'Okay, but there is one thing I never understand. Why don't high grade demon beast come in the area of lower grade demon beast?' Katrine asked.

'You know, once demon beast enters in the 3rd grade, their intelligence is also upgraded and they can't upgrade again in this environment, they need more Mana, which we can find in deep forest.' Kalp said.

'Okay.' Katrine said.

'Okay, we will make it our base. Alice and Katrine, go up and check the surroundings.' Kalp said and then they both go up and start looking.

'So, when will we go for hunt?' Mo asked.

'Now.' Kalp said.

'Have you found any demon beast?' Kalp asked loudly.

'No.' Alice and Katrine said.

'Okay, find a lake or a pond.' Kalp said.

'Yes, there.' Katrine said.

'Okay, we are going there now.' Kalp said and they leave from there. Mo and Kalp pick up the beast's body.

They reach near the lake.

'Look for demon beast here.' Kalp said.

'No, there is no one.' Kevin said.

'Then we have to wait here. Kevin, when the fight starts, you will look the surroundings. You stay out of fight until I tell you.' Saying this Kalp gives token to Kevin.

'Don't use it till we have no hope.' - said Kalp and then everyone hides in the trees.

After a while, the sun is about to set then a bear beast comes there. Alice signals to everyone by seeing a mark on the bear's chest, but it is a golden mark. Then Kalp signals to everyone not to attack him (bear). Bear leaves from there after drinking water. Then Kevin indicates that there is a wolf near the lake. There is a mark of 2nd grade on the stomach of the wolf. Then Kalp gives a sign to target him. Kalp comes down the tree and then he opens the bag of beast corpse. Wolf smells that's blood and comes so fast that Kalp can't get a chance to climb the tree back.

'Damn, he is too fast.' Kalp says and takes out his sword from his bag and leaves his bag on ground.

'Kevin, look around. Mo, come from back. Alice and Katrine, attack from the trees. We will attack him together.' Kalp said.

Then Mo attacks it from behind, but wolf dodges. When it attacks Mo then Alice uses fire magic to attack and wolf dodges again, then Katrine uses his water bullet magic and it gets hit on his leg. Wolf tries to run away from there.

'Don't let him run' Kalp said loudly.

Alice makes a fire circle around wolf but because of the smell, one more wolf comes there.

'Kalp, there is a wolf behind you.' Kevin says loudly and then Kalp looks behind you. The wolf jumps on him and Kalp fall with him into the fire circle.

'Katrine, use your water on my fire.' Alice said.

Kalp is trapped in fire circle with two wolves. Katrine tries to use water magic, but it's taking time.

'Mo, give me your sword.' Kalp said.

Mo, throws his sword to Kalp, but it falls far from him.

'Sorry.' Mo said.

Wolf attacks Kalp and Kalp also attacks them. He manages to stab one, but he gets hit by another wolf on his back. Then he waits for another wolf to attack, Wolf attacks him again, but this time, he dodges wolf's attack and from the backside, he cuts wolf's neck.

After this, Katrine extinguishes the fire and Kalp falls on the ground.

'Kalp, are you okay?' Alice asked.

'Yeah, I am fine.' Kalp said.

'Mo, take out both wolves' cores.' Alice said.

'Guys, a few people are coming towards us.' Kevin said.

'We have to go back to our base.' Kalp said.

Then Mo and Kevin pick Kalp on their shoulders and run back to the base.

On the other side, Ralph, Aveline, Kob, Ray and one commoner, named Seon (he has black skin and is carrying other nobles' belongings). They come where Kalp's group was fighting.

'It seems, they have three cores, two are 2nd grade cores and one is 3rd grade core.' Ralph said.

'Search this area, they won't go far from here.' Aveline said.
