This skill could not only help her monitor Ronald wherever he went but also, help her protect Ronald even if she is far from him, she just needed to command a tree to attack the assassins in an instant.
Although for others, 500mp/min seems to be a huge amount, but to her, it wasn’t. As she had the skill , which will replenish her mana by absorbing the nutrients within the plants.
Therefore, within a huge forest like the Everlast forest which had an enormous size, she would have an infinite supply of mana.
And with the combination of the two skill and , she would be a very scary opponent for those who fought her within the forest.
Fenghuang was currently eating chips which were made of fresh potatoes while holding a paper and a magical pen while observing Ronald through a floating screen.
At this time Ronald was fighting a single Spirit Beast rank One-armed Blade Monkey, this monkey was only 1 meter in height, having only one metallic blade arm. This beast was an inborn sword master, therefore fighting it would be hard, but Ronald was fighting it in a relaxed manner.
***
Ronald was currently crossing weapons with the monkey, although the monkey was shorter in height and smaller in size than Ronald, it exhibited the same strength and speed as him.
Ronald checked the status of the beast he was facing.
Name: One-armed Blade Monkey (Spirit Beast)
Lvl: 50
Hp: 2810/3100

As Ronald was examining the beast’s status, he suddenly raised his knife and blocked the monkey’s sword who attacked him while he was examining its status.
Although the monkey was at the maximum level of a Spirit Beast, Ronald still didn’t feel any pressure and was fighting it calmly.
During this month Ronald wasn’t just hunting crazily, but also honed himself by gaining fighting experience. Every night, after he finished his hunt, he would sit with his legs crossed for some time and do nothing. At that time, Ronald would recall every battle he had experience during the day and would try to find some of his flaws and find ways to remove them, Luna also gave Ronald some help in this particular task. She sometimes gave Ronald some suggestions and would let him decided whether he would follow her suggestions or not.
Every day, Ronald was refining his every move, and yesterday night it developed into a skill called .
—
Battle Sense – Passive(lvl 1 -0.0%): Allows the user to locate the enemy’s weakness during the battle. Every increase in skill level proficiency would allow the user to locate more weakness.
—
Through this skill, Ronald observed every moved the monkey made, and red lines appeared on the monkey’s body. But the red lines didn’t stay in one place like the one he saw when he used the skill , it moved from one place to another every time the monkey made a new move.
These lines indicated the monkey’s weak points when it was making an attack.
As Ronald knew what the red lines for, he decided to start attacking the place where the red lines are located.
***
The monkey thought that maybe Ronald was weak and he would have an easy human meat, as he was just dodging and blocking his every attack, not attacking even once.
But this thought of the monkey, eventually vanished when Ronald started attacking its weakest point when it made a move.
The monkey became serious as he knew that Ronald wasn’t a prey, but also a predator like it.
Ronald and the monkey fought for a long time, without one of them having an advantage to the other.
The monkey was an expert in the sword, while Ronald relied on his skill to locate the weakness of the monkey’s movements.
Time passed slowly, 1 hour had already passed, and the battle was still ongoing. The monkey only had 15% of its Hp, while Ronald had 10% left.
Another 5 minutes passed, and the battle continued, but at this time Ronald only had 5% hp left, while the monkey had 8%.
The monkey thought that it would surely win the battle as it felt that Ronald’s vitality was nearing the bottom, but as the monkey was thinking of this, a light suddenly enveloped Ronald and fully healed all his injuries.
The monkey was very shocked when it saw this scene. It stayed in its place for a second before it decided to turn around and ran, as it knew that it was in a clear disadvantage. But sadly Freya was standing on its path and slapped the running monkey with her paws, which caused the pitiful monkey to fly back to Ronald’s direction.
Seeing the monkey flying to him, Ronald raised his disassembling knife and met the monkey with a single slash.
The flying speed of the monkey was very fast which gave it no chance to react to Ronald’s sword which cut its body to be cut in half.
After Ronald killed the monkey, he stored its carcass in his inventory before he walked to where Freya was and petted her head.
“Freya this would be the last beast, we should go back now, as it would be night soon.”, Ronald said as he petted Freya’s head, which Freya enjoyed so much.
Reacting to what Ronald said, Freya nodded her head before she flew and landed on Ronald’s head.
After seeing that Freya was in her position, Ronald started to leave the area.
***
After Ronald left the area, 2 hours later, 3 men came to where Ronald fought the one-armed blade monkey.
They were the three assassins, who followed and attacked Ronald one month ago. These three assassins belonged to the Assassin Group – Crow and were assigned to the mission of killing Ronald and getting the little tiger which was on his head.
They have been searching for Ronald’s track since that day when Ronald escaped, and just recently, they finally found some clues on Ronald’s position, but they weren’t sure yet if the clues they gathered really pointed to Ronald.
