Chapter 16: White Crimson Hunt (1) Hunt Beings
The days went quickly. On this new planet, which Tyr learned from the Pixie was called "Subworld," he had so many new things to do that time felt like it simply whizzed by.
Tyr spent his time hunting during the two months and focused on almost nothing else. After putting his mind onto something, he was locked on for good.
Warmer winds traveled through the Gitran forest trees today as spring had ended and the buds of summer had begun to show their roots.
Flowers turned to fruits, and the life of leaves and bushes became even more rich in thier greenery.
These winds traveled under the thin treetops and into a small cavern--where a scorching campfire was lit up.
As it crackled and popped, light footsteps approached from the distance--getting louder and louder.
A blurry figure carrying a large Giradeer corpse began to clear up upon getting closer.
Tyr's black hair had grown to his shoulders now, making him look like Tarzan.
Another feature that helped in that comparison was the fact that he had gotten jacked as hell.
Even though only a couple months had passed, Tyr seemed to have gained over 2-3 years of strict hypertrophy training worth of muscle gain in this time.
He was also taller, surprisingly enough. Due to his stats, his body needed to adjust accordingly to not fall behind and become overwhelmed.
If he was 5'8 ft. in the past, he had now grown to around 6'0 ft in stature.
'Man.. GG works wonders.' Tyr chuckled at his own fortune. I mean, it wasn't like he was going to complain.
Anyways... Tyr dropped the Giradeer onto the ground. It had already been gutted and dried of blood.
Now, it only needed to be filleted and cooked. Tyr was also going to skin it since he deemed he wanted a bit of yellow coloring on his Charwolf hide armor. It was the only flavor missing.
After setting it down, he sat on a log and began grating his teeth-tipped spear on a sharpening stone.

His 3 spears were now enforced with the teeth of a Glassback Alligator. The sharpest material in all of Gitran--as he liked to call it. It was also extremely durable.
'The Glassback probably isn't Apex Rank like what the Pixie said the Charwolf was, but definitely a higher Rank than normal gray orb beasts. Its core orb wasn't Red, but Green. It's most likely the Rank in between gray and red.'
After sharpening all three spear tips, Tyr stood up and sheathed them on his back quiver.
"Now... it's time to hunt White Crimson." He said with a smirk on his face. This is what he had been preparing for during the past two months.
'Now that I finally have 30 stat points into Strength, I think I have a good shot at defeating it.'
He opened his stats.

'I'm going to play it safe, not like the Charwolf encounter. I only caught it off guard because it was distracted with trying to be a rebel and attacking other creatures without real intent. It wasn't attacking them for food or even anger. Its malice had nothing to do with them but was instead targeted towards White Crimson.
This made its thought process faulty when hunting, causing its actions to be flawed as well. Without those distractions, I wouldn't have lasted even a second. On top of that, White Crimson is supposed to be levels stronger than even that beast. I can't take any chances.'
With his current stats, he was pretty confident. And plus, he had waited for long enough.
Right now, he was giddy at the fact that he could finally tame his first creature using the Soul Marking spell.
'I still haven't used it, despite my Infinite Domain spell having a limit of 2 beasts. I want the best of the best, and no less. Even the Charwolf won't do... I want the king.' Tyr was seriously determined.
He set off in the direction where he had observed some of the beast's markings before.
Up until now, he had been tracking White Crimson. He hadn't ever seen it in real life, but he had seen the aftermath of its well-known 'massacres.' There, he used the claw markings and paw print patterns to slowly track it down.
'I could have seen it dozens of times by now. But... I've stayed just out of its vision. Not only to protect myself but also to not spoil this exhilarating moment.' Tyr grinned as he thought this to himself.
He traveled for 15 miles on foot, something that now wasn't too difficult for him.
After that point, he would come to a massive cliff drop. The forest that Tyr thought was so big ended at this cliff drop, revealing a massive biome that was an even thicker jungle 2500 feet below him that stretched on until the end of the horizon.
From where Tyr stood, he could nearly touch the clouds from time to time.
He had an easy way to get down as well. But, it wasn't so easy the first time he ever did it...
Sure, there was a 5-mile path he could take to go down the sheer straight cliff without falling, but why waste so much time when there wasn't any need for it?
Arriving at the edge, Tyr leaped off into the air.
He fell face first, his mouth and skin pulling back as he fell as if he was on a roller coaster.
As he neared the floor, he quickly used Blink Step to blitz down to the ground, landing completely safely.
"Hah~~ that never gets old," Tyr said, feeling the rush of the activity still in his body. "But... running 5 miles back up ain't very fun."
He began running into the thick jungle. This place was far more dangerous. The canopy was nowhere near as thin--the sun almost being blocked out.
The trees were mangled and dense, their roots traveling all across the ground.
The beasts here were no weaker than the strongest of Carniboar's. Half of the beasts Tyr encountered here had green core orbs instead of gray.
After half an hour or so of running, Tyr arrived back where he had last seen White Crimson's footprints.
He stopped, taking a breath as he calmly tracked its movements.
It wasn't always accurate and he had to do a lot of reworking to pinpoint it, but this time the beast's path was fairly easy to see.
Just from the prints, Tyr could see that its paws were as larger than his head.
The prints were embedded quite deep into the ground too, hinting at the beast's heavy ass physique.
As he traveled a bit farther, Tyr noticed that the beast's prints stopped, as if it simply vanished on the spot.
'Huh? This is odd.' He scanned the entire premises, 'Even though its prints are sometimes difficult to find... they don't just completely disappear like this.'
*Seeeeeu*
A sharp noise sounded, and before Tyr knew it, an arrow had lodged into his left shoulder.
He felt the powerful impact nearly thurst him forward into the ground. His body went into a state of extreme focus as he turned on his heel.
The arrow had thankfully not gone in very deep, so he pulled it out.
"This is... manmade." Tyr confusedly exclaimed.
*Seeeeeu*
