When he was checking his [Character] window after waking up inside the cave, Yang Chen noticed the existence of this ability under the constitution. And based on what little he read about the Extreme Evil Nihility Body, he immediately understood the usage of this ability.
There were a few more abilities listed under the Constitution. However, all of them were hidden by ■■ looking boxes. Yang Chen guessed that they looked like this because he was unaware of them or was too low levelled to unlock these abilities.
"It is quite powerful" Seeing the damage done, Yang Chen couldn't help but mumble. It needs to be stated that the power of the ability depended on the strength of the user. The greater their strength, the more powerful the ability.
Even at its lowest strength, it was easily able to kill a battle master class beast. Based on that, it wasn't hard to assume the infinite growing potential of the ability.
The ability might seem terrifying at first glance, but just like all things, it too had its limitations. According to what yang chen remembered, the damage done by the [Wave of Annihilation] is based on the power of a soul.
So if the target soul is more powerful than the user, it would do limited damage or hardly any at all. The soul of the black barguest was extremely weak, which is why it died in an instant.
Other than that, the ability was also limited by the number of uses. That is to say, it can only be used once a day.
Now that Yang Chen had already used it, he cannot use it again. So if he met another demonic beast on the level of the Black Barghest, his only ending would be a miserable death.
That is why, he decided to return back to the cave and wait for the ability to reset back. Thinking so, Yang Chen just turned around to leave when…
Grrrr…
A grumbling sound echoed out. Of course, it was not the growl of any demonic beast, but the sound of his stomach rumbling.
Now that he thought about it, he had no idea how long he was passed out for. But from how hungry his stomach was, he could somewhat guess that it was at least for a day or more.
A few days without eating or drinking anything, no wonder his stomach grumbled at this moment.
Yang Chen purchased an ordinary knife from the shop and walked towards the body of the barghest with the intention of dissecting some of its meat. However, the moment he tried to skin it, the blade of the knife broke.
It was given, the fur of the barguest was stronger than the steel; there was no way yang chen would even be able to leave a scratch on it with an ordinary knife.
"I guess I will buy that blade again" Having no choice, he was compelled to open the shop once again and buy the two star sword he was familiar with.
[Ding… you have made a purchase]
2900 points were exchanged and the Flame Expelling Blade appeared in his hand. If an ordinary weapon is unable to harm the barghest, than what about the two star weapons? Yang chen clenched his sword and plunged it into the demonic beast.
Living up to its standard of being a two star weapon, the sword was easily able to pierce the hide of the beast and stab it. With the problem of the weapon out of the way, Yang Chen was just about to dismemeber it when he saw some bizarre black energy wiggle out of the barghest and quickly enter his body.
The bizarre energy was so swift that he didn't even have the time to lift his finger to stop it. After that energy disappeared inside his body, nothing unusual happened, he couldn't feel anything out of place within his body either.
Thinking that this unusualness was due to his special constitution, Yang Chen stopped thinking about it and quickly dissected the best part of the demonic beast.
Although not up to the level of veteran hunters,Yyang Chen had become quite proficient in gutting demonic beasts. He could somewhat tell which was the best part of the meat in a demonic beast and it didn't take him much effort to gut it.
Right after taking the required amount of meat, Yang Chen quickly left the place and retreated back to the cave. The reason for this was because he was starting to get multiple hostile alerts from his [Map].
The scent of the blood had attracted the other demonic beasts over and he wasn't going to stay there to become their dinner.
.
.
Inside the dark interior of the cave, a small bonfire was lit up. The grilling sound of meat and the smell wafting from it filled the place with its aroma.
Yang Chen brought the meat to his mouth and chewed it. He was once again reminded of how bland his diet was. He had no spices nor any ingredients to use along with the meat making it taste insipid.
"I must get out of this forest and acquire some spices" One of the items on his list to living a fulfilling life, was to eat delicious food.
Back in those hospital days, all Yang Chen ate day and night was bland meals, watching the same scene and roof at every point of his life.
In this life however, he wanted to experience all kinds of things, eat all kinds of dishes and travel all kinds of places. He wanted to make up for everything that he missed in his previous life.
Munch…Munch… Yang Chen made his resolution while munching on the bland meat of the Black Barghest.
"Still, it has been a while, why hasn't this guy shown his face yet?" He wondered.
As spiteful as the little demon was, he had nevertheless ended up becoming his conversation partner in this boring life inside the forest. Yang Chen would often talk to him when there was nothing else to do to pass the time.
Amon often made fun of him and enjoyed seeing him suffer; however, in the end the guy never meant him real harm. He was starting to hit it off with him, so where did the guy disappear to?
