Golden Fox with System

.

Walking in the forest, on the way to the cave…

Theo started to get a bad feeling as if something bad would happen at any moment…

It was then that his evil foreboding became reality. A gigantic being, flying high in the sky with a pair of gigantic wings, it blurred gray scales covering its body and a pair of violent eyes. His forelegs were small and his hind legs were large, powerful with sharp claws. "I-Is this a (Dragon)?" Theo asked very frightened when he saw this gigantic being that looked very much like the Dragons of the stories he read in his past life.

Looking at this being, Theo and Yuki's expression were serious. The 30 to 40 meters in length of this gray being with its giant wings, beating vigorously, formed a strong wind where which it passed by.

This being, that looked very much like a (Dragon), was flying over the forest as if he was looking for something. The moment he saw Theo and Yuki. He started heading down towards Theo and Yuki.

When this being came close to them, Theo was able to see his information [Earth Dragon] - [4th Tier of the Apprentice Wizard Kingdom].

"My God! It really is a (Dragon)! He's in a cultivation realm that I had not even the slightest idea existed." Theo thought in fear.

Theo only knew that there was the Higher Student Kingdom; because Jka had told him, but he never mentioned a Kingdom called Apprentice Wizard Kingdom.

By the time this (Dragon) arrived closer to Theo and Yuki's still flying, he said in a powerful and sharp voice, looking with his evil eyes: "Did you see a (Human) passing by? He's bleeding and has a large injury, answer me honestly or die!!!" he said in a commanding voice.

Theo: "N... No, we did not see any (Human), sorry for not being able to help." Theo replied, feeling great pressure from this (Dragon). Yuki was weaker than he was, almost losing her consciousness.

(Dragon): "You're lucky you didn't lie to me, otherwise I would have killed you both!" The (Dragon) spoke furiously for not having obtained any clue of the (Human) that he was looking for and returned to the sky, flapping its wings violently and forming a strong wind, causing Theo and Yuki to fly away until they collide with a large rock.

"POOOOWWWWWW !!"

Yuki: "GRRRRRRRRR!"

Theo: "AAAAHHHHHH!"

Theo and Yuki screamed in pain as they collided with the rock.

"Are you okay Yuki?" Theo asked in his slightly weak voice, very worried about Yuki.

Yuki just nodded, but Theo saw blood dripping from her mouth.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, I hate it!!! Shit, shit ... "Theo cursed and cursed loudly.

Seeing this, Yuki was very worried about Theo. She went towards him with great difficulty and began to rub her face into Theo's chest, making him calm down.

Opening the [System Store], Theo bought a [Medium Healing Potion] for the Apprentice Kingdom and an [Inferior Healing Potion] for the Student Kingdom.

After they took the potions... their injuries soon began to recover at a very fast speed, seeable with the naked eye. When they were done recovering, Theo and Yuki walked back towards the [Cave].

Looking at Yuki, Theo noticed that she also had a sad expression. Seeing this made his heart ache a lot... hating the feelings of weakness he was having now. "If this (Dragon) wanted to kill us, it would have been so simple that I wouldn't be able to do anything... I have to train more!!" Theo said to himself, determined to get stronger.

Yuki: "??"

Theo: "Yuki, don't worry, we'll get stronger and we will not go through this again!" At that, Yuki nodded.

Theo: "Okay, first of all, we need to get back to a quiet place so you can evolve. So we're going back to the [Cave] so I can help you with [Pills] and [Compressed Mana Stones] to help you evolve!" Theo said.

Hearing what Theo said, Yuki got excited, getting rid of her sad expression from before.

-----------------

After a little walk, Theo felt there was someone present. Not wanting to be attacked by surprise, he used the attack with [Lightning], forming a ball of light and heading toward where he felt the presence. "BOOOOOM !!!" The Lightning Ball flew and hit it…

Or at least Theo thought, but in the end, he ended up hitting a tree near where he attacked and broke a tree. Along with the sound of an explosion. A (Monster) appeared from behind it looking at him, Theo realized that it was a (Minotaur) in the 1rst Tier of the Student Kingdom. It was 3m in height, with the head and tail of a (Bull) and a large, strong body that resembles a (Human) body, all brown coloured.

Theo: "I'm sighing~ I'm finding many strange things today..." He sighed and thought as he watched (Minotaur) appear.

(Minotaur): "ROOARRRR !!" The (Minotaur) roared out loud and started to run towards Theo and Yuki.

Seeing the (Minotaur) coming toward him, Theo wasn't scared or nervous. He had already fought against Jka who was in the 2nd Tier of the Student Kingdom and didn't think he'd lose to this (Minotaur).

Very quickly, Theo began to channel his mana and turn it into [Darkness], launching an attack at the (Minotaur). "Huh!" A suppressive dark light shone.

Not expecting that Theo would conjure up such a quick attack, the (Minotaur) didn't have time to dodge. The attack hit the body of the (Minotaur) directly, releasing a sonic boom.

"Bang!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

The (Minotaur) roared in pain. The bones of his body were broken and his large body was also carried away by the airwaves.

It was as if he was sent flying by a gust of wind. The place where he landed was a few tens of meters away from where Theo was.

The black ball began to corrode the (Minotaur)'s without stopping. Blood poured out of him wildly. Soon the (Minotaur) gave his last breath while on the floor with a big hole in his chest.

Seeing that the (Minotaur) was already dead and not wanting his attack to destroy the body, Theo used his skill <Devour> on it. This time Theo chose to exchange for [Essence].

Large amounts of energy began to enter his body. "HMMM!!" Making him feel great!

"As I thought, this (Minotaur) has a lot of [Essence] that can help strengthen my body." Theo thought as he finished seeing that his body strengthened a lot.

Yuki was puzzled when seeing the wave of power entering Theo's body.

Yuki's surprised expression is also cute, but Theo thought about explaining to her a little about his ability <Devour>.

"Yuki, you've noticed that whenever I kill some and use my ability on their bodies I usually gain power, right?" Theo asked and saw her nodding. "It happens because when I use this ability, I turn my target into [Essence], fortifying myself," Theo explained but decided to tell her about the [Points] another time.

Hearing Theo's explanation, Yuki was very happy for him and began to nuzzle on his chest.

Then they continued to walk toward the [Cave]. On the way there, they ended up defeating many (Animals) and (Monsters).

Theo: "There's certainly a lot (Animals) and (Monsters) in this forest," he thought.

Of course, Theo was happy about it because the more he kills, the more he will be able to strengthen himself and get [System Points]. But this time he only exchanged all of the above the 7th Tier of the Apprentice Kingdom into [Essence]. Thanks to this, he almost managed to move on to the next Tier in cultivation.

Theo also learned from Jka that using the [Magic Core] of his affinity can help improve it. On the way, he ended up finding 2 that had the [Ice] affinity. Theo then put them away for Yuki to then use it to strengthen her affinity.

Of course, he had no means of carrying them. Theo bought a 5 cubic meter [Dimensional Bag] from the [System Store]. Yes, they were sold in [System Store]. He had not seen it before because it cost 15,000 [System Points]. But of course, Theo knew that having a [Dimensional Bag] was very good.
