《Deity's Fragments [Paused]》Chapter 14 - Battle
Advertisement
The cricket was the size of a grown man's leg. It leaped forward, attacking Zack.
Zack saw the cricket attack, so he moved to the left, dodging the cricket; in turn, it launched an attack that failed to connect.
This insect was relatively fast and agile, but it wasn't something he couldn't handle without using his powers. This battle would be great to better hone himself in combat against monsters.
The cricket reached another tree and jumped back towards Zack. This time, he didn't dodge but charged straight at the cricket connecting with a slash.
The cricket fell to the ground while voting green-colored blood.
"Criiii!"
He jumped into a tree, then another, and started moving faster as he jumped into different trees. When he reached a speed fast enough to leave a mirage of himself, he attacked.
Zack couldn't see where the blow came from, so he took it full on. The collision caused him to roll a few meters, but he quickly regained his composure, used the speed with which he was moving, and with his hands propelled himself into the air giving a spin and then landing on his feet, still falling backward and leaving marks of his feet on the ground.
Zack activated his ocular ability and waited for the cricket's next attack. The cricket had to slow down the speed at which it moved to make a new movement pattern in the area where Zack had fallen.
Zack was amazed at this monster's intelligence; it could do some essential tactics in the fight, making it more difficult to battle.
The cricket had already marked its area, so it decided to attack from Zack's left side. As he attacked, Zack turned his vision and saw the cricket coming towards him.
He ran electricity down his arm directing it towards his sword as he took a step backward to make a crescent moon attack towards the cricket.

The electricity coursed through the sword and shot out, forming a crescent moon slammed into the cricket.
"Bzzz" *Electrical sound*.
"Criiiii" The cricket fluttered to the ground as it was electrocuted. Zack wasted no time and charged with both of his swords towards the cricket's head.
The cricket's head came off as green blood spurted from its limbs.
[You have killed a level 1 medium giant cricket.]
(Note: For AI, you use "[* *]," and for system voice, you use "[ ]")
Zack sat for a moment as his body trembled. He couldn't deny that he was afraid; it was his first battle, and this might even kill him, but he couldn't let fear win him the battle before cricket.
His mentality from this moment on would get stronger as he fought. He still played video games on his computer and rarely trained until not too long ago, when he got his skill, and everything started to change.
Zack gently slapped both of his cheeks and pulled himself together. He walked over to the corpse and, with one of the swords, opened the corpse and picked up a core-shaped object that was still moving.
It was dirty with green blood, so the only thing he could do was to clean it and then eat it.
Zack finished cleaning the core, but he still looked at it with disgust. He swallowed and closed his eyes as he put the core in his mouth and ate it.
To his surprise, it didn't taste bad; he even felt he could become addicted to the taste.
[Medium level 1 Giant Cricket Core consumed]
[1 to 10 attributes will be gained]
[+10]
Zack was surprised. No wonder it was difficult for him to fight the cricket; it was medium level. But what surprised Zack the most was the power of the thunder. He only used 50 energy points in that attack and left the cricket paralyzed. He also felt that he had barely used less than 1% of the lightning ability, this was a powerful ability, but he didn't have enough power to use it to its total capacity.

Beasts in the hunting area are divided into: (Low, medium, high and elite). In the first area, you will find level one and level two beasts. Currently, Zack had fought a level 1 medium beast.
'I have 50 points assigned and 10 unassigned attributes. In order to ascend to the hunting dimension 2, I need 600 power points. This is going to take a while before I can advance any further.' He said to himself.
'I have powerful skills, and I think I can continue hunting with the capacity I have now, my biggest problem is the level of consumption that these skills have, I will designate the 5 points to resistance and 5 to Mind to have better control and less consumption over the ability]
[*5 attribute points assigned to Endurance*]
[*5 attribute points assigned to Mind*]
'Can you do this too?" asked Zack in surprise.
[*I can help the master to no waste time with these things, but I can only do it when the master is willing to do it.*]
Zack nodded and opened his database.

Zack looked to the side and sighed. His backpack was ripped when he rolled, and everything he had in it was spread on the floor.
He walked over to the backpack and picked it up. It only had a few scratches, but it wasn't unusable; the hit had just ripped it a little. He began to gather his supplies and pack them. He ate a few meals so they wouldn't go to waste since they couldn't be put away again.
When he finished, he looked at the cricket's body for a moment, then closed his eyes, took a breath, and started moving through the trees again.
He ran for about 30 minutes and then started walking. Although he was an awakened one, he still didn't have enough strength to run for hours without getting tired.
As he was walking, he suddenly stopped behind a tree and put down his backpack. There were five blue-colored crickets ahead. These were sure to be low class. He couldn't be that unlucky to run into five high-class crickets together, which was almost impossible in this part. He unsheathed his two swords, and after waiting a few minutes, he found the time to strike.
One of the crickets had moved away from the others and was on a tree branch near Zack. He used the electricity to boost and jumped to the low tree branch attacking in a spiral with his two swords.
[You have killed low level 1 giant cricket.]
Zack had slashed the cricket next to its branch, but this made a noise that allowed the other four crickets to hear.
This time, he wasn't scared; he realized that they were low-class crickets. If he was in trouble, he could shoot out there, and these crickets couldn't stop him.
'I like this feeling of adrenaline rushing through my veins,' he thought.
Smiling, he moved and attacked the first cricket of the four to make his attack ...
