The shadow body froze. Without its extremely fast speed Max the preview. If I had to compare to a creature known to our world, I would lean more towards the wyvern. Less ferocious than a dragon, less powerful and less beautiful but still very dangerous for our group.
Carried away by her momentum, but all the same stiffened, she continued her throw towards the dwarf boss without being able to swing her claw to attack.
Not knowing what was happening, Dwarven Boss didn't let this opportunity pass and in a spinning motion split the wyvern in half with his glowing axe. Eyes wide, she could only close her eyes to her inevitable fate. Two huge chunks of meat then crashed to the ground, each on a different side.
Out of breath and in bad shape dwarf boss couldn't believe his eyes, the wyvern had the upper hand effortlessly without even using skill and suddenly he had a cramp all over his body? It was rationally impossible.
Yet he had to face the facts, no member of his group could help him because they were already in big trouble with the vampire bats and Max the bearer is only a weak and useless human.
"At least I'm alive no matter what happened" he thought.
After their boss was killed, the other flying monsters scattered in panic, wanting to flee through the red door that had just opened after the boss was killed.
Dwarf Boss then spat out a puff of blood and his body collapsed in violent spasms. Undoubtedly a backlash of the technique he used. In a life and death situation, he pulled out his hidden card without hesitation and now he is paying the price.
The others also collapsed, they would never have thought at the start of the expedition that it would be so difficult and without the dwarf boss (+ the system) they would all be dead.
After recovering, Dwarf Boss got up, weakened he staggered towards the body of the wyvern. He retrieved the beast's core and pulled out his storage ring which sucked in both body parts. There was nothing left.
The other party members did the same for the bodies of the smaller monsters as well as the mana crystals. Each body and core was worth a sum of money that would allow them to live for that month, of course they weren't going to leave anything.
Back outside the gate, I received my slave pay and headed back to the apartment. Before going home, Max went to the local grocery store to buy a few cans of food and basic necessities.
After locking the door I was all excited, finally I could change my destiny and one day I could stand on top. I already imagine myself with the thunderbolt of Zeus in my hands, hovering in a cloud charged with lightning and demons looking at me with fear.
But for the moment it was only a utopian vision of myself and I have to find a way to progress very quickly.
So I decide to take stock before planning anything.

I am still pitifully weak. The only way for me to progress would therefore be to go to the wild lands, where the monsters are numerous. But I have to stay in the area where the beasts are weak.
This zone is the safety zone, the weak beasts are left to allow beginners and students of fighting universities to progress. In the deep lands, animals of grade A and + are numerous and to venture there with my current strength is just to want to be the slice of sausage as an appetizer.
Fortunately, before entering these lands, the army of the association of races gave those who could not afford it, a basic low-grade equipment that we should return on our return with 25% of our loot as an equivalent exchange.
"It's decided, I'll go early tomorrow"
So I prepare the rations I bought an hour ago, check my empty bag...
And after eating, I go to bed with a much better face than the day before.
