ART Of Survival - Chapter 21

*Ding* (Congratulations on unlocking the skill ‘Can Paint’, work hard to unlock more subskills) *Ding*

Mal woke up from his dream-like state after hearing the last system message, he looked at his front and was shocked to see the artwork floating in front of his eyes, but quickly he regained his calm self and smilingly said “My Best Piece Of Art”

*Ding* (Congratulations On Making The First Piece Of Magic Art {D-Grade}) (+5 Dextrousity, +5 Mind, +5 Mana, +5 Luck) *Ding*

After Mal finished with his painting, a mechanical voice rang again and Mal felt the growth of his stats for the first time. “Ahhh…It Feels So Good!” [Auth:- ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ] “So this is how a person feels after growing? It’s addicting” Mal smiled in Satisfaction.

The smile didn’t last for long as the next second *Boom* An explosion occurred near Mal, sending him flying. “Fuck!” Mal spat a mouthful of blood after colliding with a tree nearby. “Am I going to die after finally unlocking my skill?” Mal shook the thought of his head and stood up with the help of the tree trunk.

He took out of the Painting and then solemnly looked at the monsters in front of him. “They are considerably weaker now, I should be able to defeat them…I should be able to defeat them right?” Mal looked at his masterpiece for the one last time and threw it with all his might towards the monsters. “Activate!” He shouted.

From The painting that was still in the air, a light shot out. Which attracted the two monster’s attention. Feeling a sense of danger coming from the light source they tried to escape but alas, it was too late.

A Blue and a red phoenix shot out from the painting towards the now tired beasts. *Roar!!* *Kieeehh* a sharp cry echoed in the forest and finally after a whole minute, it calmed down. Who would have thought that the majestic and powerful beasts who were the king of their own land would die by the hand of a Level 0 noob and that too by a painting.

*Ding* (Congratulation on killing two monsters with one attack, {SubSkill unlocked:- Dual Painting technique [Lv-1:-Now the host is able to draw/paint with both the hands at the same time].} *Ding*

After the series of notifications ended “Urgh” Mal’s body jolted as he finally felt his bones and muscles getting destroyed, again and again, even his brain was feeling immense pain this was because of the sudden increase in stats, which was changing his body from inside out.

*Haaaahh* *Haaaahhh* “That was too much for a person like me, thank god it ended.” Mal dragged his body towards his bag and took out a water bottle and an energy bar from it. “Let’s check my information panel, I have been waiting for this forever!” Mal excitedly stood up and said “Open Palette”
