Thank you for reading!!

......

Pack fight.

[Ace POV],

I poked my head out from behind the wall and looked at the monsters a little further away from me.

Dogs and cats, as the old adage goes, do not correlate.

Yes, there was more than one monster in front of me.

It was more of a pack, a pack of dogs and cats.

And, like the previous monster, they could not be considered normal animals because a cat that could barely reach a man's knee before the strange phenomenon and was now reaching a height of one meter could not be considered normal.

While being careful not to make any noise to avoid being discovered by them, I silently assessed the monsters' level ;

[Yule Cat level 3],

[Crocotta dog level 3],

[Yule Cat level 2],

[Yule Cat level 3],

[Crocotta dog level 2],

[Crocotta dog level 3],

[Yule Cat level 3],

[Crocotta dog level 1],

.....

Fortunately, their levels were not higher than level three, but I don't think that matters much here because they were numerous and we were only two.

There were six monsters on both sides of each pack, so if we came out now, we would face a total of 12 monsters.

Though I am now a level 3 human and Anna is a level 2, I have no idea how strong we are or if we have any significant power here since we haven't tested ourselves yet.

Looking at Anna beside me, I asked quietly;

"I might need you to use the skill stone because I don't think we'll be able to follow our old plans," I said, making room for her to see the monsters ahead without making too much noise.

She obediently returned to where she had been as soon as she realized how many monsters we would encounter as soon as we left, giving me a tap on the shoulder and said;

"Go forth, and I will support you from here.......moral support only," she said, and my eyes twitched.

'Is this specie of human planning to leave the fight entirely to me?' I wondered, but I knew she didn't mean what she said.

Taking the Normal Grade Hunter Recurve Bow and Quiver from the storage ring, I first placed the quiver on my back as I felt 'something' being drawn out of me as I suddenly saw quality arrows appearing in the quiver.

'Is this mana?' I wondered, but since I wasn't in a position to think about such things, I postponed my curiosity until later.

I brushed the surface of the spell gem embedded in the middle of the recurve bow with my right hand as I examined it in my hands.

When I touched the bow for the first time, information about how to use the spell gem appeared in my head, just like the storage ring; all that remains is to use it.

Because the monsters were still fighting outside, I planned to take advantage of this and land a sneak attack first.

'Fortunately, using bows and arrows is one of the things I learned,' I thought as I nocked an arrow on the bow and nodded to Anna before rushing out and shooting the first monster I saw.

When I first came out, I didn't look for a target; instead, I shot the first monster I saw, which was a cat, a level 2 monster.

I'm not sure if it was the effect of the bow and the quality of the arrow or my strength, but the arrow I shot was able to enter the stomach of the level 2 yule cat and come out the other side, giving me a slight surprise as I continued running around the monsters while nocking another arrow to the bow and aiming for another monster.

This time, I decided to use the spell gem to cast a gale spell on the arrow to see how it worked while the monsters were still stunned by the unexpected attack.

I felt something being drawn out of me as soon as I used the spell gem, but I ignored it and shot the arrow.

I'm not sure if it was my imagination, but when I used the spell gem, I thought I saw the air shift for a moment around the arrowhead.

Yes, the air shift, which makes no sense, but I didn't have time to think about it because I was caught off guard when the arrow was shot.

Unlike the other arrow I shot, which was silent, this one came with a gush of wind as my hair flowed in the wind.

Let's not get into how shooting an arrow can make the wind this crazy because I've already seen a lot of strange things today; it was the lethality of the arrow I shot just now that amazed me.

Looking at the monster I had just shot, which was now headless with the same arrow that had done this embedded in the ground with only half of its body visible, I realized something that made a tinge of excitement appear in me;

'There's a lot more to this world, and this is just the beginning,' I thought as the battle began for real.
