Armipotent

ARGHHHHHHHH!

Areth’s scream reverberated in the air as he ran toward the Steeer. He ran as fast as he could, holding the spear as strong as he could. Then the boy sensed the spear met with the resistance and realized his spear hit the monster. He opened his eyes and saw a quarter of the spearhead enter the monster’s head. However, it was not enough to kill the monster. In fact, it barely did anything to the monster.

Areth could hear the disappointed sigh from behind. He realized that Sir Tang might not want to help him anymore if this continued. He gripped the spear tighter and pushed it with all his might, but it barely pushed the spear a little bit further. It just caused more blood to come out from the stab, nothing more. The monster was still alive; the stab did nothing.

“If you don’t have enough strength to kill it, then aim for its soft spot, the eye!” Areth heard Sir Tang’s voice, giving him advice. “Climb up to the head and stab the eye with everything you have!”

This might be the bloodiest experience the boy had in his life, and this was the first time. However, Tang Shaoyang had to go hard from the start because he did not have the time to guide the boy. He would not stay long enough for the boy to overcome his fear naturally. He forced the boy to overcome the fear if the boy really wanting to obtain the desired power.

Tears welled up in Areth’s eyes as he pulled the spear. The teenager did not give up despite being overwhelmed by the fear. He followed the instruction, climbing up to the monster’s body and approaching the head. His legs were shaking, but he managed to reach the head and looked into the monster’s eye that stared back at him. Areth flinched and took two steps back, losing his balance and almost falling off before he managed to recover his footing.

Areth once more approached the monster’s head, looking into the eye. The monster stared at him with desperation. That would be him if he encountered the monster without Sir Tang. Imagining himself in the position of the monster gave him the sheer determination to raise the spear. With all his might, he brought the spear down to the monster’s eyes. He yelled from the top of his lung as the spear pierced through the eye.

Just like Sir Tang told him, the eye was the soft spot as he managed to push a quarter of the spear into the eye. The monster’s body shook, struggling from the pain. Areth held onto the spear tightly, maintaining his position. Gaining his footing once more, Areth pushed the spear further. The blood splashed out from the pierced eye as the monster struggled harder. Areth put all his weight on the spear, pushing the spear deeper.

Eighty percent of the spear entered the eye of the monster, and it struggled even harder. Areth lost his grip as his body fell to the side. Tang Shaoyang caught the teenager and put him down, letting him watch the dying monster.

The monster slowly died from the bleeding, and Areth watched everything to the end of the monster’s life. He knew for sure the monster died not just because it closed its eyes but because of the notification in his head. A Burst of notification rang in his head as his body relaxed from the most intense moment in his life. His legs gave out, and his butt fell to the ground.

“You want to be strong, but your eagerness doesn’t match up with your will,” Areth took the criticism with no complaint since that was the truth. He himself was ashamed of what happened, scared of the dying monster. He did not kill the monster as the notification told him that he assisted Sir Tang in killing the monster.

“I will give you three minutes to take a breath, then we will hunt the next monster,”

That was almost the same as the notification he received from the system, flat and unfeeling. The teenager did not expect this, not expecting to see this side of Sir Tang. There were no comforting words or congratulations for killing the monster. However, he immediately put himself in Sir Tang’s position. It was he who asked Sir Tang to guide him. He asked to get stronger, not to babysit him. He expected congratulations, but for what? Killing the Steeer was easy to work for Sir Tang. There was nothing he did that was admirable at all or deserved to be congratulated.

Areth threw away those useless thoughts and checked the notification. His eyes widened in surprise after reading the last notification. He had reached level 67 from a single hunt. From a single-digit level to halfway to three digits level in a single hunt. The teenager opened his window stats and saw the number of his Attribute Points. He was eager to increase all his attributes, especially his Strength. The boy realized he did not have enough Strength to pierce the monster’s head.

‘No, wait, Areth. You need to consult Sir Tang first. Don’t ruin the opportunity.’

The teenager managed to hold back from distributing the free Attribute Points. He waited for exactly three minutes, and Sir Tang returned with another dying monster. He immediately grabbed his spear and approached Sir Tang. He told him about his progress and also asked for guidance on his attributes.

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows, “Allocating the attribute will depend on your class….” He paused as he realized that Areth did not have a class, and he also did not have a class scroll for the boy. It would be troublesome to determine which attribute the boy should focus on because Areth only got two Attribute Points with no Class, Talent, and Bloodline. He needed to be careful if he did not want to ruin the boy and waste his time helping Areth.

“Allocate fifty to Strength for now and save the remaining point for later. We need to consult someone with more experience than me,” Tang Shaoyang figured that the boy needed enough Strength to kill the monster. That was why he told Areth to allocate fifty points to the strength. He would consult with his spirits depending on what Areth wanted to be in the future.
