To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 15: Bear Beast Hunter

"Wooooohh!"

Woosh. Killer Bee launched its deadly attack, knocking out a Giant Leaf Tree.

It was a miracle that Ars able to survive the attack that launched in such a very close range.

Fell down, Ars immediately got up and looked for a safe place. But there is nowhere safe.

"More importantly, wtf happened to my eyes!?"

[Eyes of the Dragon - Dragon Sight: Activated]

Ars' eyes became strange. It felt like he was being sucked in by the sharpness of his own eyes. On the edge of the line of sight is also blurry. Then suddenly on the left side of his vision a reddish blur appeared.

Ars' instinct made him leap forward. Shortly after, Killer Bee attacked Ars' previous position.

"Waaaahhhh!"

Killer Bee's attack created an explosion that damaged the surrounding ground.

Prone, Ars tried to open his eyes again. "Wtf!?". This time his sight is very broad. He could see an area about three times wider than the sight of an ordinary human eye.

With that sight, he could see better of Killer Bee's attack, but, "Aaaaww! It's hurt!". The function of his new eyes made him dizzy.

Once again, Killer Bee is about to make an attack. But Ars' New Eye can detect attacks - even though Ars does not see the direction of the attack directly, and it can make Ars avoid attacks. "Aaaaaawwww!". Though once again he landed in a painful position.

"How do I turn off this eye function!?"

When Ars thought he wanted to turn off the function of the Dragon's Eyes, immediately the eyes stopped functioning.

"Wow! It worked! Without having to manually turn them off, those eyes - oh shit."

In a split second, Killer Bee will attack Ars. Ars swiftly took out one sword and repelled Killer Bee's attack.

"Gaaaaahhhhh!"

But Killer Bee's immense power made a wave of wind swing that pushed Ars far backwards.

Ars stopped by hitting one Giant Leaf Tree. "Gah!"

He fell to the ground, standing up.

"Damn it, if I don't step back a few centimeters, my life will definitely be in danger." Ars looked at Yin's copy sword, which he used as a shield. "Even this sword can't withstand such an immense attack."

Yin sword eroded deep enough that it nearly split open.

If it weren't thanks to [Unlimited Inventory], and the resilience of Yin's sword, Ars' life would have ended. But he couldn't continue fighting like that. Plus, he didn't have the confidence in his current strength to kill that giant bear alone. At least not now.

"Except."

Fafnir's eyes, [Eyes of the Dragon]. Although those eyes made him dizzy and they were annoying, they had already saved Ars twice from Killer Bee's attacks.

Killer Bee ambled towards Ars. Ars has been cornered, same as if his history is over. That's what Killer Bee thought.

Killer Bee stood up, raised his right hand -

"[Eyes of the Dragon]!"

- then mercilessly released all of his strength in one strike.

That one strike cut everything in front of him. Including a giant tree that is very thick and 50 meters high.

Killer Bee thought he had already killed his prey, but his calculations were wrong. Suddenly his right leg got stabbed by a sharp object.

Ars had just made one attack move. By activating [Eyes of the Dragon], he could dodge Killer Bee's attack, and counterattacked. Though the counterattack didn't work on that thick, big monster.

"Groar!"

Killer Bee swung his right hand down.

Ars dashes to the side of Killer Bee's right foot, take cover from the strong wind waves at Killer Bee's huge feet. Then did a dozen slashes on Killer Bee's leg.

"Graaaaahhh!"

Ars's consecutive attacks injured Killer Bee. But the attack had no fatal effect.

"This monster meat, too thick!"

Now Ars could feel how difficult it is to break through Killer Bee's defense, namely the monster's flesh itself.

"Fvck!"

Killer Bee noticed Ars position and immediately launched an attack.

Ars took out a piece of tree bark and took advantage of the boost from the attack wave to move away.

"Gah! Ugh! Uhek!"

Ars can see Killer Bee's attacks and where to avoid. However, Ars was still not used to his new eyes, and made him land in a rough position.

At that time, [Eyes of the Dragon] had three functions:

[Warning Provider: Gives the user a warning about looming danger]

[Sharp Mode: Mode that allows the user to narrow its sight and focus to see a greater distance]

[Spacious Mode: Mode that allows the user to expand the visibility]

[Warning Provider] is a function that has saved Ars' life many times before. But the two remaining modes are the problem.

[Sharp Mode] and [Spacious Mode] function automatically depending on which object Ars was looking at. And every time the two other functions alternately, Ars will feel pulled or pushed back.

"At least I need a day to practice this eye habit."

But the situation would not allow Ars.

Killer Bee has already sniffed the Bad Omen in Ars and immediately lunged forward.

"Damn it! [Eyes of the Dragon] deactivate!"

Ars has no other choice but to disable his new eye for now. Then run far enough to come up with a plan.

Hiding behind a tree, Ars took a deep breath, calmed himself down.

"Haaaaaaahhh! The monster meat is too thick! Plus, his height makes it difficult to attack him!"

Killer Bee's height is about 15 meters. Striking his leg is not enough. Ars needs to be in high ground, and a projectile launch weapon such as arrows to attack effectively.

"Wait, high ground, projectile weapon?" Ars looked up and thought. "I'm so dumb."

From behind, Killer Bee is approaching. The speed of the two feet and hands creates a vibration that makes its position easily known.

At that instant, the big monster stopped moving. He lost track of the prey that had fled.

"He can't trace my whereabouts up here?"

From above, Ars was hiding behind the Giant Leaf Tree branch, looking at Killer Bee with a satisfied smile.

"OK." Ars stood up, then took out a sword. "If you can't track down Bad Omen now, that means you're finished."

"Groarr!"

Just now, a projectile weapon shot out and stabbed Killer Bee.

Killer Bee turned around, looked to the left and right, but did not feel any presence of Hunter.

"I am at least 25 meters from the ground. And you are about 15 meters tall. If you can't feel my presence, it means that the height is your weakness, or this giant forest of trees has another mystery. Whatever it is, your history is over."

Ars raised his right-hand, holding one of Yin's sword. Like a cannon that wanted to launch an iron ball, Ars launched his sword to attack Killer Bee.

"Groar!"

Killer Bee endured the pain of the attack and immediately looked at the attacker. But the moment he saw the attacker's figure, the attacker had already fled behind another tree.

Killer Bee already knew the attacker was hiding in the trees. But he still couldn't trace the attacker's whereabouts.

"I knew it."

Ars looked at Hunter Profile> Status Effect> [Bad O**n]. The Bad Omen status on him looks strange, like an error has occurred since Ars climbed to the top of the Giant Leaf Woods.

Ars grinned. Victory is already in his hands.

"Then, I don't have to run away up here anymore, right? Oh?"

Wooosh! Wooosh!

"Groaarr!"

Killer Bee starts attacking blindly in desperation to find Ars' whereabouts. Two hands that had five long and strong claws he used to cut everything around him. Some trees even fell because of his actions.

"That's useless! [Eyes of the Dragon]!"

Ars moved with [Eyes of the Dragon] active. This time he tried to move using his brain. By using [Spacious Mode] when he moves, and [Sharp Mode] when he wants to attack.

During the change of modes, he still felt dizzy, as if he was being pulled or pushed. But he endured the pain and continued to launch attacks.

"Groooooooaaaaarrr!"

Killer Bee has already taken a lot of hits. There were dozens of swords stuck in his body.

At first glance, Ars only does regular consecutive attacks. In fact, he was aiming for the part of Killer Bee's body that already perforated because of the wound the red-haired Archer had previously given him. That's why Ars sword gatling stabbed Killer Bee deep enough.

"That man with a beautiful face is very good at using his weapon. Is he really a Silver Archer?"

The entire party guarding the cart before was Silver Hunters, including Arlene. But Ars doubted that one red-haired man identity. Just like what he felt to Ars.

"It's not important for now."

Ars had to finish Killer Bee quickly. If not, he will fall because he can't bear the headache.

The 21st sword. The 22nd sword. Ars continued to launch the sword he has, but he didn't think Killer Bee would collapse soon.

"Damn, at this rate, I will fall first. Isn't there a way for me to see this monster's weakness?!"

[Thermal Scan Mode]

"Woah!?"

Suddenly Ars' vision changed like a Thermal Scanner that could see body temperature.

Ars can see the infrared light of all objects, just like a Thermal Scanner works. At that instant, Ars could see Killer Bee's body temperature, which looks so exhausted.

Killer Bee, who was taking multiple hits, felt threatened, so he stopped moving. Then somehow he ran away.

"Wait! Woooohooho!"

[Thermal Scan Mode] made Ars almost fall down. "But wait."

Killer Bee stopped running, turned around. He could see his prey is standing still. "Groaarr!". Of course, Killer Bee wouldn't waste that opportunity.

Killer Bee shot towards Ars. Within 10 meters, Killer Bee stopped, then stood up. He raised his right hand as high as he could. It would launch a fatal attack.

"I name this skill, [Cannon-sword Gatling]!"

Ars launched a dozen swords at one point on Killer Bee's body. Each attack inflicts [shock effect] on Killer Bee, which keeps him immobile for a moment. But the momentary effect lasted a long time because Ars's attack didn't stop.

"Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!"

After who knows how many tens of attacks, Ars stopped attacking. He was brethless, and his right hand went numb.

[Trophy Earned: Bear Beast Hunter]

[Kills all types of Bear Beasts]

[Trophy Earned: Killer Bee Slayer]

[Killed one Killer Bee]

[Eyes of the Dragon Leveled Up!]

[+ Value Scanner]

On the other hand, Killer Bee didn't move. Its right hand is still up, and his mouth is wide open.

"Really, a cheat I thought is useless, actually an op one."

Right in the middle of Killer Bee's body, dozens of Ars' swords stuck there. The [Cannon-sword Gatling] just now pierced Killer Bee's thick flesh and shattered its heart.

Ars took a few steps back. As his body leaned back, he fell.

Killer Bee also fell backwards, creating a strong rumble.

"Huuuuuuuhhhh! He finally ded."

Ars didn't have the energy anymore to shout victory or raise his hand.

"Aaghh, head hurt!"

Saying that one word, Ars' stomach suddenly rumbled.

"Ugh-!"

Ars's puke came out without his permission.

"Hueeeeeeekkkk!"
