Fourth Quest (7)

Waaack!

Vivian decapitated a sunflower monster with a chop attack using her left hand before checking her left hand.

Should I use [Heal] on this…?

Given that her gloves were just like any other pair of fingerless leather gloves and she was using her hands to punch and chop things, it was bound to eventually feel some pain.

I've already used 9 heals on myself…

She raised her head and looked at the sky.

It was starting to get a little darker. And by her estimate, it was more or less 45 minutes before sunset.

And as for quest items, it has been more than 2 hours since and she has long collected 15 tails of the Bukaroo. On top of that, she also leveled up some of her Physical Arts.

She returned her gaze to her hand.

But if it doesn't work, then I have to wait again until I get enough mana to cast [Heal]…

She put her hand down.

Yeah… 

I don't want to risk it…

She resumed roaming around to search for enemies.

And if I still can't get the [Body Art] of [Heal] after 10 heals, I'm going home…

As much as Vivian wanted to level up as fast as she could, she was in no way, shape and form suicidal. She couldn't see at night, she had no light source and the last thing she wanted to be was in a forest at night with her [Nemesis of Beasts] Lore Magic.

***

Vivian saw a Treebark and she immediately ran towards it. And as soon as she got close around 10ft away, it turned to her and charged.

Vivian leaped over it and landed behind.

Pah!

Craaack!

Thud.

She threw a punch, causing its shell to make cracking sounds and the momentum to lose its balance and fall to the ground. She then dropped her whip and rushed over to the monster before placing her hand on the monster's body.

[Heal].

A faint yellow light enveloped the monster's body and some of the cracks on its body were repaired.

Ding!

'Unlocked [Magic Art Mastery] (Heal) - Level 1!'

A series of emotions flashed across Vivian's face -- from excitement to confusion, and then finally, seriousness.

The Treebark was still trying to get up but was unable to because Vivian was pushing it down with one hand.

She grabbed the monster with both hands and lifted it up above her head.

BRAAAK!!!

Its body shattered into pieces when it was violently thrown to the ground.

Vivian looked around her surroundings.

Looks like the coast is clear…

Vivian's brows knitted together.

So it's Magic Art, not Body Art, huh…

I honestly didn't expect that…

But then again, I guess it makes sense…

Level 1 Body Art gives +2 to Strength and Agility… 

Meanwhile, Level 1 Magic Art gives +3 Int…

But still…

I can still assume that the mage, wizards or whatever they call it here must have decent Physical Arts…

Because even if I were to just focus on Magic Spells and combined with my x5 boost, it would still take me a while to level it up…

Yeah…

I should definitely be more worried about the physical prowess of the people here than their magical…

However…

A huge grin appeared on Vivian's face as she scrolled and looked at the new Physical Arts that she unlocked.

Since unlocking [Savage Mastery] - Level 2, she also unlocked others as well:

• [Savage Mastery] - Level 2

• [Body Art Mastery] (Savage Mastery) - Level 3

• [Fist Mastery] - Level 2

• [Body Art Mastery] (Fist Mastery) - Level 2

• [Whip Mastery] - Level 3

• [Body Art Mastery] (Whip Mastery) - Level 3

She closed the Status Panel.

Tomorrow, I'm definitely going to unlock the main and Body Art of [Fist Mastery] up to Level 3…

And then after that, I'll level up the swords, both the single and dual…

And then after that, I'll buy another kitchen knife so that I can unlock the [Dual Dagger Mastery]…

"Hehehehehe~~!"

When Vivian's excitement finally calmed down, she decided to look for a tall tree to climb.

She found one after a couple of steps and immediately climbed it before removing her boots.

Up in the tree, she swept her gaze to search for Luxen City.

Once she got the direction of the city, she started climbing down and then wore back her boots before heading over to the direction of the city.

Pah.

She facepalmed herself.

"Oh, I almost forgot again!"

"I'll also try to get [Fire Mastery] tonight by burning myself!"

"WAHAHAHAHAHA~~!"
