Looking at the ludicrous skill that laid before him, A smile graced Vincent's face as he found new confidence to venture further into the forest.

Minutes later Vincent was ready, Armored to a level with firestorm at his side, and Moonlit on stand-by he journeyed deeper into the forest with the skill One with Nature active.

He moved through the trees and he noticed even his steps were silent like nature was absorbing the sound from his footsteps, a small thing he noted before he focused on the task at hand and used the second part If One with Nature, The scouting.

He called on the skill in his mind and the familiar feeling of ‘’Sight’’ came to him again.

Everything within a 1km radius laid bare before him he was almost pulled by the euphoric feeling but he was intruded. On his Radar, it showed the prize for his hunt, His prey.

Picking up the speed, Vincent soon after crossed about 450 Meters of distance and came before his prey.

An S-Rank Dark Beast, One almost breaking into the High-category.

It stood on four feet and had a long tail, Its body was covered with scales of unusual coloring, Red, brown, and black. Being a scaled beast it looked much like a snake. Although it was far larger.

It roamed, Its head glancing side to side snarling once or twice in-between.

This Dark Beast reminded him of a Legendary Mythical beast that goes by the name Drake.

‘System’ He called

[Yes]

[Name: Fire-Drake

Threat Level: S-Rank Low

Skill: Fire Breath, Fire Resistance [High]

Bio: Fire-Drake, Wingless four-legged reptiles capable of breathing fire from their Lungs. Said to be the aftermath of a failed ascension into Dragon hood. But is that true?

Note: Recommend Water-Based attacks]

‘Drakes huh, Do you think that they are strong enough to withstand my flames.’ He questioned

[Probably not, But going at it fire to fire will only drag the fight. Water is recommended] The system advised

‘I know but luckily Gaia’s Blessing gives me Water Manipulation’

[Indeed, But be careful you don’t have the experience of the Water Elemental Planar Giant]

‘But I have the experience of the Nature Planar Giant, A simple plan would work.’

[Which Plan?] The system asked

“You’ll see” Vincent answered back with mischief in his eyes

He then began to sneak closer to the unaware Dark Beast, Normally this Dark Beast, Drake, has great sensory abilities it uses an ether form of echolocation to sense its enemies from afar.

A shame, Against the One with Nature skill it was useless.

Once Vincent was close enough he began his plan, He concentrated his ether pool and tried to create a ball of water surprisingly it was quite easy for him. After trying a few times of familiarity he got ready.

Through the skill Gaia’s Blessing he manipulated the water to form above the Drake and then caused a downpour directly on its position.

The Drake did not sense it until it had already been soaked over by the downpour.

It cried in pain as it jumped away from its former position, It wondered where the water came from as it roamed warily around the area it settled and used its Ether-Location to sense for hostiles in its area.

After confirming there was no one in the area, It relaxed its guard and proceeded to try to warm itself, that's when Vincent moved with its guard down Drake didn’t notice Vincent right above it.

With a tight grip on a bolt of lightning in his right, Vincent struck, Piercing the bolt of lightning deep into the Dark Beast’s back and abandoning it there, and retreating away afterward.

The drake cried in pain as the bolt of lightning not only shock its inside it also did the same on the outside but the pain wasn’t over.

Another downpour occurred intensifying the strength of the electrocution bringing more pain.

The Drake cried out louder, its cries reverberating through its surroundings scaring the lower rank Dark Beasts around it.

Over time its screams began to quieten until the forest returned to its serenity.

The Dark Beasts state could be likened to an overcooked steak, Burnt, Blackened, Charred, and Crispy. It then fell limp onto the ground dead.

Vincent sauntered out of his spot and stood before it, his face stoic as he lamented on how easy it was.

“Did not expect it to die this easy, Well whatever it just proves my choice right." He said

“Devouring the Nature Planar Giant was worth it, Its skill set reminds me of the jack of all trades”

“A Jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one”

Incidentally, Vincent did not know that nature planar giant of nature was the strongest of the group.

With its control over all the elements and its buff when connected to nature, it was capable of keeping three of the planar giants at bay at the same time, which speaks a lot of its power.

The ding from the device brought him out of his musings as it registered the death of the Drake.

To this point, Vincent had killed.

11 C-High

4 B-Low

2 B-Mid

5 B-High

39 A-Low

48 A-Mid

40 A-High

1 S-Mid

and now an S-Low

Bringing his points to a whopping 2163

Looking at his device he thought, While indeed his first real battle with an S-Rank was not as pleasurable as he wished for it was still his first reminding him that he is becoming a true powerhouse.

Vincent smiled at that thought and then proceeded to use One with nature searching for his next unfortunate prey.
