Chapter 42: Killing salamander

Marvin groggily came awake again with a faint pulsating pain traveling from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. However, he didn't have time to whine or act weak, just like any human; for he was in the wilderness, a merciless place, and showing weakness meant death here. His eyes snapped open against the will of his body that wishes him to rest and close his eyes but he knows there's a high chance to never open them again if he follow what his heart desires.

He stared about with a scrutinizing gaze. He found that he was in shallow water a small pond of some type and his clothes were drenched wet. The shallow water reflected the full moon in the skies while several large rocks circled him, placed at the edges of the pond, blocking him from seeing beyond and others from seeing him.

'This might be the reason am still alive even after falling unconscious. Thank you, Noah, for teleporting me to a hidden place,"

Marvin instantly praised Noah for his effort otherwise, he might have not been alive.

Just doing my job. Gamer, if I had some magic power crystal then safely teleporting you to the fortress would have been an easy game. For now, you are on your own in a dangerous place, try to survive, grow stronger and get back to human civilization Noah replied.

Quest Rewards: 400/200/300 XP, Mana bullet magic/Ghost step technique/Return teleportation scroll]

A quest activated, highlighting Marvin's problems. Staring at the semitransparent screen, he didn't feel a rush of excitement. Instead, he felt troubled over the fact that he got to be alive to enjoy these rewards.

"Let's first get out of this place and look around," Marvin thought as he moved from the spot he was in. The moment he stood up, he could see beyond the rocks, and he saw the surrounding, which is a forest with weird trees pitch, black trunks, and dried leaves.

The forest entered his eyes and he entered something's eyes; However, from the corner of his eye, he saw the shadow of that something and he instantly put up his guard.

"Noah, open inventory,"

While trying to follow whatever it was with his eyes, he pulled out the inquisitor dagger from the inventory screen and clutched it tightly in one of his hands. Whatever it was moved constantly at a rapid speed, utilizing the maximum benefits of the veil of night Darkness and the forest greenery trees.

He was standing in the middle of a shallow pond surrounded by rocks on both sides. But whatever was moving around was quick and was using the trees as a cover.

'Normally, a person will panic and make a run for it, landing right in the traps. In the movies, this is the part where a side character will man up, go check it out and die but there's no way I am gonna take any such stupid actions.' Marvin thought. He didn't know where he was, and how many enemies he's facing but he was sure that it was magical beasts, a lizard type.

It was scurrying around and the sounds of dry leaves cracking under its limb entered Marvin's ears. He closed his eyes, focusing only on hearing the "Sound", and at the same time, he used magic martial arts to empower his body.

At that very moment, he heard sounds from behind and beside him. Marvin's eyes snapped open while he immediately turned around and could see two lizard shaped beasts running towards him from a distance, one from the right side, the other from in front.

They were about the size of an average man, around 1 and a half meter long, with clawed feet and scarlet eyes that look as if they are gonna shot out superman lasers. Body red in color and running on all four.

Marvin decided to use the inspect skill to better knowledge of what this creature is.

Name: Salamander

Type: Flame

Rank: 4

HP: 14/14

MP: 17

'So it's the flame-type mutated version of salamander. It really is different from the salamander I saw a picture of in the books!' Marvin thought as he focused more on the salamander right in front. Rather than focusing on the one on the side, as the one in front was closing on him at a rapid phase.

Marvin patiently waited for the salamander to sign its death. When the salamander was a few feet away it leaped into the air, mouth opened wide, teeth uncleaned for who knows how long threatening to tear apart his neck in a single snap.

Time Halt!

The moment the creature appeared into his attack range, Marvin utilized his ability and it got halted in mid-air.

The creature's was extended in thin-air, just like a punching bag asking for a beating.

AS a gentleman how could Marvin decline its wishes?

WHOOSH!

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

In less than a second, the pitch, black inquisitor dagger whisked through the air and slammed into the stomach and brain of the salamander. Marvin's hands moved back and forth rapidly, as fast as he fingers Bai Yue and Janna to spread open their caves, and punctured dozens of holes in the body of the salamander. His rapid stabs had caused large wounds to open up on the creature's brain and stomach but no blood leaked out.

Instantly, he stopped using time halt and streams of red blood started to leak from the wounds of the beast that fell to the ground, its eyes lifeless.
