Territorial nature. That made it even trickier, but perhaps he could use it to his advantage. He just needed to get close enough, but for that, he needed a diversion. He picked up a rock and threw it to the side away from himself. The creature seemed to react to the noise but nothing more, it went back to its relaxed position. Radley pondered for a bit, and then looked at Blobby. He went closer and whispered, "Hey, Blobby, move around and try to get the flower. Do not eat it."Blobby moved into the undergrowth and disappeared. After a while, he reappeared just behind the creature who suddenly stood upright. Radley waved his hands about to tell Blobby to fall back. Blobby obeyed and fled to the undergrowth, but for some reason, the creature was still on high alert. d.a.m.n, this was going to be way more than he bargained for.
Back at the town Adrian and his crew were making their way back when they were confronted by someone, "Ah, my dear Adrian. I thought you were better than this. You made a grave error."
Adrian immediately recognized the man, "Magistrate Warren. I take it you were at today"s proceedings?"

"Execution without the express authority of a magistrate. That is a crime punishable by death. I was just itching…"
"They had my authority, Warren. This is the result of your petty squabbles."
"Adira…I…I really dislike it when there is outside authority intervening with my methods."
"Not my problem. I have the authority of the council behind me. What do you have?"
"You"re a pesky level twenty. I"m twenty-one. I have the higher authority, besides this is my domain, leave before I do something rash."
Adira smiled and walked straight towards warren and stared into his eyes, "Try your best."
Warren scoffed and walked away, he stopped after a while, "I will make you eat those words, Adira."
"And then you will have the council on your a.s.s."
He scoffed again and left. Adira turned towards Adrian, "I need to go see my daughter and my sponsored. The execution was pretty mindless, just so you know."
"What if that was your daughter they raped and murdered."
"I am not denying your revenge, it was just a bit…tasteless."
Adrian nodded and left with his group."
Radley made his attempt to follow up on Blobby"s attempt when something unexpected happened. A popup came up: User learned Camouflage by himself. What…?
He was genuinely surprised by that. He continued to sneak. The creature was still on high alert but the more Radley thought about it the more things didn"t add up. For one, it kept staring into a random direction. It was like it was locking onto something in the distance. It didn"t even seem bothered when Blobby came very close. No there was something else coming this way that got the creature on edge. He needed to move fast but his ability seemed to be limited by how quickly he moved, which meant he needed to move slow to properly blend in with his surroundings. He finally grabbed a hold of the flower a mere inch away from the beast. The beast was on all four of his feet. It suddenly let out a loud hiss. Radley looked past the beast and saw a ma.s.sive red aura. His fears were correct. There was something on the way.
A great hulking brute of a creature that looked similar to a gorilla, with two ma.s.sive tusks protruding from its mouth. It stood on its hind legs and pounded its own chest in a display of aggression. Primas Antrum, Lv.12, aggressive nature, Aura: Red.
Radley knew he had to get out of the way, but as soon as he wanted to, a thought crossed his mind. Was it possible to kill one of these beasts?
He knew he would get a ma.s.sive boost if he was able to do that.
The two charged at each other. The fight was furious and relentless. The creatures threw each other around. Biting knowing and slashing each other. Radley just needed to time it right. To Radley"s surprise, he thought that the gorilla would get the upper hand but the other humanoid creature clearly outpaced the gorilla. While it was clear the humanoid creature wasn"t doing a lot of damage it was still doing damage.
The fight must have lasted more than twenty minutes when the gorilla decided to make a break for it. The humanoid creature seemed to use retractable claws similar to a cat. The creature itself too received a rather fatal wound. This was his opportunity, "Diff how many times would I have to go all out to take that thing out."
"It is estimated that the user will have to deplete all of his stamina to defeat the beast."
Wow…that was just unfreaken fair. Even in its near-death state, Radley had to use everything he got, but no risk no rewards, right?
Radley knew the creature was too wounded to really be any viable threat. He used camouflage to get close and used is tier two power slam. This caused the creature an agonizing amount of pain. The creature tried swiping but the attack made him too weak. Radley used it again on the exact same spot. The creature went limp after that. Radley had to do it two more times before the creature succ.u.mbed. A popup appeared 25 000 Invo points. 10 Diff points. Wait, what?!
That was a lot less than he antic.i.p.ated, "Diff, what going on?"
"While the user used a method to take down a creature that was considered much more powerful, most of the damage was done by something else, and not the user"s hand. Hence the user gets a drastically reduced amount of invigoration and diff points."
"c.r.a.p, so hypothetically, how much points would I have gotten if I took it down myself?"
"It an impossibility at your level."
"I said hypothetically."
"Nine hundred thirty-five thousand seven hundred and fifty (935"750). WHAT THE h.e.l.l! And the Diff points?"
"One thousand."
Radley was speechless. A burst of searing pain suddenly erupted from within him. A level up was underway.
