The Moon Thief

Chapter 146: Malicious Region

Heinald visited cities near the academy in search of supplies, hoping to obtain the supplies he needed there. He was able to travel with the Revakender by flying, thus saving a great deal of time; it was fine for him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find any of the materials he wanted.

When he realized that the situation was more difficult than he thought, he visited Lord Fredor and asked him to help him with the materials he was looking for.

Lord Fredor naturally knew that he was a Level 2 Ainsar and that Albin had completed his apprenticeship, it was not too difficult to foresee that he would become a great Ainsar in the future.

So he hosted Heinald in the best possible way and immediately took care of his request to keep on good terms with him. He was one of the heads of a trade union, so his business intelligence network was very extensive.

With his connections, the materials Heinald was looking for could be found!

After Heinald was a guest in his castle for about a week, he received word that two supplies other than Hercules Boar Blood could be delivered to him.

These two materials would cost him a hundred thousand Arcana Stones, but that wasn't a problem for him. As a potion master, he could quickly gain Arcana Stone.

He wanted orders brought to Lord Fredor's castle. He would not waste time waiting for orders and would go and try to get Hercules Boar Blood.

The Hercules Boars were a species found in the Violet Eagle Kingdom, a small Ainsar Kingdom bordering the Black Forest.

Heinald needed to venture into the Dark Forest to hunt a Hercules Boar; for this he would go to the northern border of the kingdom.

He did not want to linger in the castle any longer, so he left it and started his journey.

After flying nonstop for about half a month, Violet managed to reach the northern border of the Eagle Kingdom. This region was also the border region of the Dark Forest.

Heinald knew that going deep into the Dark Forest was incredibly dangerous. Several sources that he read, giving various information about the types of Magical Beasts, stated that the Hercules Boar was seen in the outermost ring of the forest.

If this were true, the outermost ring of the Dark Forest would not be a danger to him. If he had to go any deeper, dangerous times would begin for him.

Heinald allowed Revakender to roam freely. He then stepped into the outermost ring of the Dark Forest.

The Dark Forest was so large that even just its outermost ring spanned tens of thousands of miles.

Heinald's target was only Hercules Boars, so to avoid dealing with other Magical Beasts, he suppressed the waves of energy he was emitting and concealed himself in the shadows using Shadow Powder. It was quite comfortable in the Dark Forest as it was completely shadowed everywhere.

However, he still couldn't sneak up on a Magical Beast. Their sense of smell and ears were very keen, although they could not see it, they could easily detect its presence.

He wandered through the forest for long days without stopping. During that time, he encountered hundreds of types of Magical Beasts. Their strength was usually equal to the strength of a Level 1 Ainsar, but he had also occasionally seen monsters with the strength of a Level 2 Ainar.

It had already been almost a month since he had entered the forest, when he finally stumbled upon a Hercules Boar. This Magical Beast had the power of a low-phase Level 2 Ainsar. However, this beast's attacks were less than that of other Level 2 Ainsar's equivalent beasts. His strength was his thick skin, hence his defense.

Hercules Boar was about a hundred meters from him. Its length was about three meters, and its width was more than four meters. He had gray and black mixed fur and red eyes.

"Infernal Fireball!" Heinald immediately began to cast his magic. Thus, the energy waves he suppressed began to appear.

Hercules Boar immediately noticed the energy waves emerging and turned towards Heinald. However, at that time, the spell's casting process was over, and a fireball shot out of his hand and directly hit him.

*Shoushh!* When the fireball exploded, the burning red flames completely engulfed his body, and an area of 250 meters was instantly turned into ash as a result of the explosion. The intense flames illuminated the dark ambiance of the forest, creating an unusual sight.

"Bwaaaa!" Hercules Boar roared hoarsely. The fierce roar shook the surrounding ground and trees.

Hercules Boar's feathers were completely burned, and his skin was severely burned. The lava pit that formed under his feet had done a lot of damage to his feet.

This would further reduce his already slow speed.

When Hercules Boar emerged from the lava pit, a surge of energy emanated from his body, and the surrounding lands gathered around him, forming a long pointed structure.

Their appearance resembled an earthen spear, and there were hundreds of them.

Whirling Air Wave!

An airball shot out of Heinald's hand and flew into the spear-like earth that had begun to fly over him.

"Now!" When Heinald shouted in his mind, the airball exploded.

The pressure over a large area changed drastically and everything began to pull towards the center of the explosion. Some of the surrounding short trees were also affected by this explosion, and their leaves could not escape being pulled towards the center of the explosion.

However, other than that, the height of the big trees was thousands of meters, and the explosion area did not affect an area large enough to reach their leaves.

The impact of the explosion shattered the earth spears before they could reach him.

Light Flow!

Heinald's body became as light as a feather, and with lightning speed he dashed into the boar. Before he could reach him, the ring in his hand had turned into a glowing battleaxe.

"Hua!" Heinald thrust his ax into the boar's head with all his might.

"Bwaaaagrr!" Hercules Boar roared bitterly.

"The attack failed to shatter his skull!" Heinald looked at the ax in his hand, shocked. Even though this ax was covered with black flame, it could not inflict damage as severe as he wanted.

Of course, the ax had completely destroyed the place where it had pierced, but it had not been able to completely split the boar's head.

A boulder flew towards Heinald at incredible speed as Hercules Boar wagged his tail behind him. The size of this rock was almost half that.

Although Heinald was able to react with his superior reflexes, not expecting such an attack, he couldn't move fast enough and the boulder quickly sank into his stomach.

"Ughh!" All of Heinald's breath went out and his color faded. The force of the impact broke the rock into pieces, and after being thrown tens of meters, it crashed into the trunk of a huge tree.

"Shit!" Heinald's ribs were broken and blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth. He looked at the boar with a cold glint in his eyes.

"So you want to play hard" Having a broken rib wasn't too painful for Heinald. Since he had to endure much greater pain before, his tolerance for pain had increased considerably.

"Aodon's Hand!" Heinald cried out in his mind.

Black arms appeared around the Boar, and black hands gripped his limbs, trying to keep him from moving.

Spiritual Spell-Death Ray!

Intense fire element waves began to emanate from Heinald's hands. As fierce red flames danced around his hand, many sparks briefly appeared, and eventually the red flames gathered together and exploded forward.

A ray of fire that radiated terrifying heat went straight towards Hercules Boar and struck him. Although the Boar struggled, he could not get rid of the black arms.

The fire ray, possessing a terrifying power, completely melted Hercules Boar's head after burning it for seconds without interruption.

When the fire ray touched his head, the terrible heat waves that emerged even charred the trunks of some of the surrounding trees with superior durability, causing them to collapse.

Hercules Boar's lifeless body collapsed to the ground like a sack of potatoes, his head completely melted.

Heinald went up to him and quickly took a large jar of his blood, then began to run away at full speed; because he knew they were coming.

Other Magical Beasts around!

The Boar's fierce roars and the fierce energy waves emanating from the spells had naturally drawn the attention of the surrounding Magical Beasts to this area.

Heinald wasn't afraid to face the Magical Beasts in this area, no, but there was no point in fighting them out of nowhere. After all, this was the Dark Forest, and he could not know for sure what he would encounter.
