-The creature is very fast compared to its size. It has multiple vital points, but they are heavily armored with more denser scales. I should get its attention and then try to blind it, but how am I going to reach its head?-
Before Gabriel could react the woman sliced through its scales with two large daggers. Gabriel admired her willpower as she didn't give up. However, her stupidity of trying to fight it alone made him cringe nervously.
"Inspect" he whispered.
[RED SPIKED OOGLE]
LEVEL: 25
STATUS: COMMON, BUT RISEN IN RANK
CATEGORY: LIZARD
He wasn't surprised when he noticed that it was on the same level as Tigris. It's entire presence made it clear that it was an abnormality in this dungeon.
He broke out of his trance when he heard a cold warning directed at him . The woman with red hair and emerald eyes stood beside him for a split second while the monster frantically searched for her in the opposite direction.
A sudden movement from the monster slammed the woman into the branches of the tree which made Gabriel loose his footing. He suddenly gasped for air when his detect ability started functioning on its own. He could observe all faults within both creatures.
-It seems like it doesn't has a well protected neck. If I get behind it and slice it open it will die from its nerves stopping to send signals to its important organs which causes it to die.-
Gabriel looked at his target, he knew that it was a huge risk. It was very tall and he wasn't that good at jumping. He had thought about asking Tigris for help, but at the same time he wanted to use his own power to kill the monster in front of him. He could see the redhead struggle when fighting the creature, she seemed several times stronger than Gabriel. Regardless knowing this he couldn't give up.
He was accelerating in speed towards the creature and when he reached the end of the branch he used all his power to jump from it. He had closed his eyes for a moment when he suddenly felt his body slam into the scaled creature. To his surprise he had managed to jump 70 meter and barely got the grip to stay on the side of its body.
[MESSAGE]
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE GAINED THE ABILITY 'JUMP'
[ALARM]
THE ABILITY 'JUMP' IS CURRENTLY AT LEVEL 1
-What the... I barely could manage to jump one meter in gym cla.s.s, this is insane.-
He was positively surprised, but he needed to focus on his target for now. The monster hadn't felt him because of its tick scales. The landscape seemed small even at this height as he climbed up on its huge back his eyes locked at the neck of the creature. He managed to arrive safely beside its neck, but he had almost fell two times.
"It seems you didn't think about how you could cut its vital nerves" a familiar gruff voice told him. It was Tigris. "Tigris can I borrow the claws of the tiger?"
A powerful wind shot past them as the woman made several a.s.sa.s.sination related attacks near its legs. It lifted its feet to step on her while she tried to regain her breath.
"Yes, but remember they will need a huge amount of energy to slice it open especially since you're at such a low level." Tigris replied
Gabriel suddenly felt huge weight on the tips of his fingers, if they even can be referred to as fingers. There was a set of five claves at each hand with a length of 12 centimeters. It felt like they were made of steel. Gabriel looked up from his hands and stared on the neck in front of him. The creatures movements was troublesome as they were almost ripping Gabriel of its back.
Gabriel lifted up his right hand and sliced up the monsters neck. The green scales around him was covered by a red flow of blood. The creature let out a load roar as it fell down to the ground about two minutes later. Gabriel's claws disappeared and he could feel all his energy being swallowed of the claws. He was dizzy and tired, he needed to leave this dungeon now. He used his last bit of strength to sprint towards the portal, it only took fifteen minutes because of its near location. Gabriel sighs as he enter the white portal tired and dizzy.

The jungle around Amy was scattered across the well vegetated area. She observed multiple lifeless body's of both "humans" and animals, including the gigantic green lizard with red spikes. It covered a big area because of its enormous body size. She had used up almost all her stamina on trying to sever its joints. She felt ashamed not being able to defeat the A rank creature, but she knew that creatures of the same ranks as the beast fighting it are much stronger. She should have taken with her Albert and some undercla.s.s men.
-Why did it fall, I didn't manage to kill it with the wounds I inflicted.-
Amy jumped onto its corps, she was near its neck when she noticed huge claw marks severing vital nerves and arteries. "What did cause this, and why didn't I think it?" She mumbled. Her shoes got covered by the red fluid located at the scales of the creature.
- The creature which caused this must have used its intelligence to slay this monster. At the same time it must have huge and strong claws.-
Amy looked around before noticed her black suit had been greatly damaged. Her hair was covered in dirt and blood which caused it to smell awfully. She growled at the sight, she hated being dirty and not perfect at all times.
She ran into the portal heading towards her secret base in the town of Flaurence, a town known for its nice city and mighty residents such as the Warran family. The people around her in the streets gasped as they saw her spurting past them. The city was filled with all sorts of people making it more vibrant as the beautiful decorated buildings rose up to the sky.

Gabriel sat inside the forest a bit outside the town devouring a pice of steak he had bought for a cheap bronze coin. As for its quality, it wasn't big and was containing a lot of fat. He was still clothed in his b.l.o.o.d.y clothing which made the townspeople gag as he pa.s.sed them when he was buying the steak. The salesman didn't care at all which made it easier to obtain the pice of food. Gabriel had lit a small fire to steak his food and to keep him warm. It was late in the evening, maybe around 7 o'clock. His dizziness had faded and he was slowly regaining energy as he ate.
"Tigris, can I use one of my abilities on one of my others?"
Tigris replied: "Yes, but it depends on which ability"
Gabriel let out a sigh of relief as he had finished eating.
" Inspect the ability 'jump'" he commanded.
[JUMP]
A Pa.s.sIVE ABILITY WHICH MAKES THE PLAYER ABEL TO JUMP GREAT DISTANCES AND AT INCREDIBLE HEIGHTS
LEVEL: 1
"So it's a pa.s.sive ability, which means that I can use it without commanding. That's pretty good, then I can take action much faster."
Gabriel smelled the burning wood fill the air with carbon dioxide. He lied down at the dirty ground slowly closing his eyes as the insects fall asleep.

"Ugh, that ugly lizard ruined my outfit and hair." Amy screamed inside her modern bathroom filled with the scent of green tea. She bathed in a bathtub filled with water and bubbles from all the soup she had poured in. The bathtub was made out of marble and there was several bamboo plants decorating the room. The dark wooden floor contrasted with the marble furniture and walls. The mirror above the wash was at least two meter tall and embroiled with nature motives such as birds and tropical plants. The toilet was also modern and had the same style as the bath tub and had a toilet seat made out of golden wood.
Amy had since a young age been interested in perfection. She decorated every room in her home on her own unlike many of the other uppercla.s.smen in the beast society. Most people admired her for her beauty and talent, except the people closest to her. They described her as an arrogant tyrant which only cared about herself.
-I'm tired... This day has just been catastrophic so far.-
She polished her nails while setting her phone on speaker as she continued her bath.
"Hi Amy, it has been a long time since we last spoke" A feminine voice giggled.
"Indeed Claudia. How is your brother doing?"
"He's fine. He can come home from the hospital soon. If I didn't know any better I would think that Celeste was the one who got injured. She's been crying for weeks over his injuries." Claudia replied a bit funnily.
"It's understandable, they are engaged with each other"
"It's a bit weird to think that my siblings are going to marry each other, but it is an tradition to keep our bloodline strong. My mother and father are cousins which also is a bit weird."
"What about you then?" Amy asked curiously.
"When my mother got pregnant with Gabriel it was planned that I was going to marry him, but unfortunately he was born a weakling. Now that he is gone I'm feeling so relieved. I don't need to think about marrying him anymore."
"That's great, I have never met him but he seems like a plague" Amy answered.
"He certainly was! So, how has your day been?" Claudia asked.
"Oh, where should I begin..."
Amy explained everything which had occurred and how terrible it had been to her only close bff, Claudia Warran.
