    Damien was enjoying his stay on the second steps of the mountains.


    He learned so many new magic and techniques in his short stay.


    He now meditates, it replenishes his mana way faster and smoother. It also helped him to regte his breathing as the air wasckingpared to any other ce.


    He knew this was just the beginning as the more he climbed, the less air to breathe, and to adjust to that, meditation was the best. He could control and regte the amount of air he can take in his lungs and this can also increase his lung capacity.


    This is especially helpful in battling monsters and animals, as theck of oxygen during a fight can lead to fatal injury and, in this case, death.


    And the best part was that he''s eating mana beasts now. This can increase the amount of mana inside someone''s body and it can purify the mana and regr intake of it can increase and change physical aspects as well.


    Like his muscles, which are growing bigger day by day; like his strength, agility, and speed all increased tremendously since his first day.


    He became a lot calmer also.


    The loneliness never bothered him as he was lonely in his previous life as well.


    He was sitting beside a tree, leaning on it and watching the clouds pass above them. He was directly above a cliff, making his view perfect and beautiful. His eyes were closed while his mind wandered around.


    He thought about his family and friends- wait, there was no friend. He thought about his family and lovers. Wondered how they were doing and are they were okay.


    He thought about Lily, about her finding out her husband was killed or something. He thought about Danielle and herte night craziness.


    The way Daenys awkwardly hugged him before leaving the duchy.


    Everything came at him all at once. Something he tried to forget from his mind.


    He wanted to go home! To them, to enjoy being with them. To just ck around and do nothing and have all these sexydies beside him on the bed.


    He suddenly thought about Viper and domination.


    A small smile spread across his lips.


    "Just you wait, I wille back more stronger and powerful and when Ie back I''ll destroy anything and everything that stands between my life. I''ll kill that bloody protagonist the moment I get out of here." He clenched his fist and raised it to the sky.


    Then suddenly he heard some sounding from within the forest. He suddenly took his bow and slung it to his side, he left his spear on the ground and climbed the tree with quickness.


    As Damien climbed the tree to investigate the source of the sound, he could feel his heart racing. His mind was already in battle mode, preparing for any possible threat. When he reached the top, he peered down and saw arge group of monsters moving towards his direction. They were devil bunnies, creatures with sharp fangs and powerful hind legs that could jump great distances.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Without wasting any more time, he quickly took arrows from the quiver and shot one after another. If he waited for them, then he''s dead as these creatures could just literally jump from where they are to the tree he was hiding in.


    And if he didn''t shoot, then the monster would easily climb up the tree and attack him.


    His skill with archery was getting better but still far from perfect. The distance wasn''t even close enough for him to hit them directly.


    But the arrows perfectly prated the bodies of the bunnies, seeing theirrades die the bunnies became angry and ferel. Their eyes turned red and he could feel the mana emanating from their bodies.


    "Yep, a bad idea indeed." He said started his flurry of arrow shooting again. "I need to improve my skills!"


    Like Orbeez sttered on the ground, these bunnies started to hop toward him.


    Each jump of them closed the distance between him.


    Their sound was the most annoying one. Like crickets chirping, only louder than what they normally did and in many numbers.


    Damien continued to shoot arrows at the devil bunnies, but their numbers seemed to be endless. He knew he had toe up with a different n before he ran out of arrows.


    He quickly climbed down the tree and grabbed his spear, knowing that he would have to face them head-on. The devil bunnies were now within range, and he could see the anger in their eyes as they hopped toward him.


    He quickly had an idea and he waited for them to be in the correct area.


    As soon as they got a little closer to him, he suddenly summoned huge ice spears from the ground, making the bunnies in mid-air into a skewer.


    "Yeah bitches, eat that. No, I''ll eat youter, you pre-skewered meats." Just as he raised his spear in victory, the bunnies, the endless bunnies behind him hopped over their deadrades'' bodies onto him.


    He quickly swiped sideways with his spear, a perfect curve that sliced some of the angry bunnies in halves but the endless supply of meat didn''t stop there as more and more poured out onto him.


    He used his spear at every angle imaginable to keep the iing bunnies away from himself. He blocked attacks from both sides and stabbed his own body to kill off those who got too close to him.


    He could hear the screams of pain from the devils.


    He used ice spears whenever he thought the right time was. He froze the ground so that they will lose footing and it worked.


    So he froze the entire area around him, it took every remaining mana inside him. He froze it in a way that the ice te was made to the end of the ground. Anyone who slides through it will end up flying to the cliff below. A perfect strategy to counter these devil bunnies.


    He was enjoying them losing their footing and sliding through the ice to the cliff.
