Reincarnated Into A Hell Hound - BL/Yaoi 8 Chapter Eigh

So, we decided to go easy this time, but changing animals to monsters. The difference?

Monsters in general were stronger and higher level, and had attributes and abilities; animals were very low level, but far more in quant.i.ty, and did not have any magic or attributes whatsoever. Some monsters could have evolved from a normal animal though, but that was rare.

Basically one was food resource and the other level resource.

Anyway, guest which monster we were going to hunt today?

Slimes…

What the h.e.l.l that thing will taste like?

Guess we will find out, but there is a good reason for hunting down those things, beyond only experience and whatever; I was using appraisal in everything to level it up, not that I could to it for very long with my low MP, and once we arrived at the flower field full of slimes I discovered that they all had different attributes and were very low level.

Got the drift, right?

First I found one of fire to test things out, and even with it been level one I used my sneak skill to level it up.

By the way, they tasted like gummy but with the texture of a mochi, getting on the teeth in an endless chewing motion. I lessened their number down a bit, but once I found a water type one I let it attack me, as my brother hopefully did the same at his part of the field.

It keep attacking me with Water Ball, and actually cause some damage; it didn't hurt me because it was just a bubble of low level Water Ball attack, but got me numb and stiff. I killed it once I got what I needed, which took longer than the others.

Now my appraisal was like this:

Attacks: Claw 3, Bite 3, Swim 1, Fireball 2, Fire Breath 2, Sneak 3

Magic: Appraisal 2, Fire Resistance 5, Fatigue Resistance 2, Hunger Resistance 1, Water Resistance 1, Earth Resistance 1, Poison Resistance 1, Bleed Resistance 1, h.e.l.l Form 0, Berserker Mode 1, Shadow Veil 1.

No level ups though, sigh. Guess we need to hunt bigger things.

I went to my brother and looked at his status:

Level: 3

HP: 70-80

MP: 266-330

SP: 100-140

Attributes: Fire, Shadow

t.i.tles: Younger Brother, Good Boy

Attacks: Claw 2, Bite 2, Swim 1, Fireball 3, Fire Breath 2, Fire Armor 2, Explosive Ball 1, Sneak 2

Magic: Fire Resistance 5, Water Resistance 1, Earth Resistance 1, Poison Resistance 1, Illusion Resistance 1, Bleed Resistance 1, h.e.l.l Form 0.

Hum… he level up, that's good, and another magic? Really he is very creative at that, though I think he doesn't even realize that and does it naturally, after all he can't even see the status.

I lick my dry lips, tired of this mushy meal, and go close to him.

"I think we should hunt others things now."

"Finally!" He rolled his eyes, dramatically falling with his belly up and showing his tongue off sideways. I kick him, and motion him to follow me.

"I think we should try some humanoid creatures as well, been follow by humans and all."

"You mean hunt humans?"

"Nah, we may take one down, even get away with it, but where is one there is always more. Today can be one; tomorrow can be an army. No, the best way is to avoid them and pretend they don't exist. Even a glimpse of us can make them hunt us down for whatever sick reason they have."

He swallows dry.

"Sounds terrifying brother, are you sure they are that way?"

"Positive."

"Them I will take your word for it."

I nod. That is not a lot we can do if humans decide to hunt us down; is simply a matter of numbers, if rabbits had the meanings of fighting back we would be outnumbered too, even if they were smaller and weaker them us.

Which, to get worst, wasn't the case.

I would love to have a peek at the human's status now that I evolved appraisal, but I wouldn't risk it.

h.e.l.l, I would at least like to know if they went away or not.

That's when it hit me.

The Voice of Nature.

I needed that.

"Du- Brother…" s.h.i.+t, almost called him dumb.

"Yes?"

"It may sound weird, but I really need a skill called the Voice of Nature, it allows us to talk with the trees and plats so we can have information coming and going."

"Ow, that's sounds cool, can I try it too?"

"Of course, of course, the problem is… to get it I think we need to sing."

"How so? I don't get it."

"Is actually talking and thanking Mother Nature in the form of a song, and in exchange we gain the ability."

"Hm.. I see, but what is Mother Nature? We already have a mother."

"Is like… The spirit of the forest, the energy that keeps the woods alive… like a G.o.d?" How could I explain that? It was just a feeling… when you go to the woods is like a palpable existence, an energy, is not something you can teach your mind to perceive, only the hearth is aware.

"We can try it later. For now, let's hunt."

After some debate we chose to hunt some goblins. We needed to get used to be outnumbered and to fight against weapon holders.

Though I wasn't very happy with the possibility of having to eat their flesh. Didn't seem very sanitary.

We were hiding in the bushes, watching a little camp with those creatures. And let me correct myself; the "smelly" humans were clean, sparkling even, those ones were the filthy ones, ugh, the smell, and I could see some suspicions stains on their underclothes, and some snot out of their....

Never mind, but I'm definitely not going to eat that, and for the frown on my brother face, neither him.

There were three normal ones, level 2, two level 3, a shaman level 5 and a hobgoblin level 4. All had an ugly green face with long droopy ears, arched backs, and all used weapons, from clubs to staff.

No bow. Good.

The most dangerous one was the shaman. He could use magic and was the only with distance attacks. We were far faster than all of them, so I wasn't worried. It would be a good training.

"Don't do anything stupid. They are training material, and hurting yourself will do far worst for your training than backing off, ok?"

He licks his nose, nodding. "So, how are we going to do this?"

"See the one with the staff? He is the most dangerous, he can use magic and poison. We need to take him down first. The second one is the tall one, but that's mine, once we take care of the shaman you go for the little ones. Ok?"

"Ok."

We approach stealthy, against the wind, and circle around until we are closer to the shaman. I pat the ground slightly, urging him to stay behind in position, and use Shadow Veil to stay even more hidden, though that magic costed mana, meaning it was a race against the clock.

The veil was still a simple one, covering only my figure, not the sound or smell of me, so once I was close enough the shaman started sniffing around with his enormous droopy nose.

I jumped at him, without waiting any longer, and used Fire Breath to definitely reach him. He was stunned by the combo, his clothes started to catch on fire, which gave me an opening to bit down into his neck, easily cracking in sideways.

The others reacted quickly, and one of the lowly ones jumped at me, receiving a Fire Ball from my brother. Without looking back I run upon the hobgoblin, who was already holding a blunt enormous sword.

Once I got close he swings it at me, faster than I thought he could with such an enormous weapon, but not faster them I; I duck, lowering my belly and curving my hind legs to jump at his face, not before letting a stream of fire out on him. He screamed, but not for long.

I looked behind me as my brother finished the last one, staying far and throwing Fire Ball at them.

Well, it worked as well.

It all goes well when it ends well. By the end of the day; or night, since we hunted at the beginning of it; all worked out just fine.

I good change indeed for once.

Soo~~~ Still for those who care about status and whatnot, I won't be putting all the level ups and whatever in the middle of the story because I know some of you don't care about it, only the most important ones that I cannot let it pa.s.s.

But I'll still keep you up to date about their status at the end from time to time.

Furthermore, don't even try to make sense in the math up there. I will keep steady how much they evolve in number, but won't be, like, using Shadow Veil, 4 Mana per second, because n.o.body cares about that, I'm right?

Ha

Hhaha

~~Hate math ~~

Hope you guys are enjoing!! Kissus (●♡∀♡)
