...Inside one of the forest around the Calderock Village, three Swordmen were dealing with a giant bear.
This Bear have a 10-meter height and the furs on its body were in night-black color. The movements of the bear were quite fast despite having a ma.s.sive size of its body. And because of that, the three swordsmen were having a hard time dealing with this bear.
As for the swordsmen ident.i.ty? Naturally it is s.h.i.+n and his Clones.
s.h.i.+n spend almost a day finis.h.i.+ng all the quest that he have accepted earlier. So it also mean that he already deal with the other monsters and bosses around the Village. He also manage to increase his level to 45 in the process.
But he also have a ma.s.sive headache, which is the last boss of the Quest given by the Village Chief, the "Black Iron Dusk Bear".
This boss have the defense and strength of the "Dark Swamp Crocodile King", coupled with the size and power of "Shadow Golden Boar". But what is the most troublesome of all, is this OP bear also possess the agility and flexibility of the "Dark Swamp Serpent King" and "Alpha Shadow Wolf".
ROAR!!!!
s.h.i.+n and his Clones were thrown backwards because of the shockwave caused by Giant Bear"s roar.
"Tsk, The damage of [Yamato] can"t keep up with the defense of the monsters that have higher rankings. I guess I need to prioritize finding the requirements for its upgrade." muttered s.h.i.+n as he is wait for the Bear to finish its roar.
And as he is waiting for that, he take another look at the informations of the bear.

"Hou~, Just a little more and I will be done with this stup*d Bear." s.h.i.+n encouraged himself when he saw that the Bear"s HP is a little over 7%.
Well that was understandable. After all, he have been dealing with this Bear for almost an hour already.
When Volibear is done with its roar, it directly charge towards s.h.i.+n with a great force while leaving a bunch of dust behind and also sending fragments of stones in the air.
"Monster Skill: Stampede"
The moment s.h.i.+n saw Volibear is coming at him, he immediately sheath his sword with a flawless movement before das.h.i.+ng forward while turning his body into illusionary with the power of the moon.

A bunch of damages appeared on top of the Bear"s head, reducing its HP down to 5%.
"Heh, this newly created skill sure is perfectly fit against great size monsters. The larger their body the more damage I can deal." smirk s.h.i.+n when he saw the bunch of damages above Volibear"s head.
Naturally, the Bear is gotten furious because the large chunk of its HP have been rifted off. The furs of Volibear become erect, while the aura that it releasing become terrifying.
And without further ado, the Bear uses another "Stampede". But this time, with a greater speed and more powerful momentum.
s.h.i.+n immediately jump to his back before using "Sun-Ray Dash" backwards. But unfortunately, Volibear"s speed is faster than him because of its berserk state.
s.h.i.+n have left with no choice but to use is final lifesaving skill, since his "Moonlight Steps" is still in cooldown. He combined the powers of the Sun and the Moon before forming a purple energy sphere around him.
"Slayer Skill: Eclipse Pulse"
Bang!!!
Tssshh.....
Tssshh.....
Tssshh.....
The barrier around s.h.i.+n take the whole impact of the "Stampede", and resulting for it trembled uncontrollably. At the same time, he is also send sliding backwards because of the powerful force accompanying the change.
Volibear is about to chase after s.h.i.+n, when the Sun Clone appeared on its back and swing the blazing sword on its hand downwards, together with a tyrannical force.
"Slayer Skill: h.e.l.l Execution"
-2 900
-120(Burned Damage)
Execution Failed!
Volibear ignored the Sun Clone and continue pursuing s.h.i.+n, he has the main aggro after all. And since the duration of the "Eclipse Pulse" is 10 seconds, s.h.i.+n become fearless.
He hold the [Yamato] in front of him vertically, while channeling the power of the Moon on it. Then he swings his sword 5 times in the air, sending 5 vertical crescent sword waves towards the incoming bear.
"Slayer Skill: Crescent Cleave"
But as if Volibear expected that move, the bear swings its right front paw sending 5 vertical energy waves of its own.
"Monster Skill: Dusk Claw"
Swoos.h.!.+
Boom!
Swoos.h.!.+
Since the "Dusk Claw" of Volibear are stronger that s.h.i.+n"s "Crescent Cleave", the bear"s energy waves shattered s.h.i.+n"s sword waves and continue moving towards its target.
Bang!!!
Shatter.....
The barrier around s.h.i.+n were destroyed because it failed to handle the powerful impact of the monster"s skill. Fortunately the energy waves of the "Dusk Claw" skill immediately dissipated the moment it shatterd the "Eclipse Pulse".
s.h.i.+n is gotten a little off guard when he saw that both of his attack and defense we are easily destroyed by that energy wave. He didn"t expect for the bear to have this kind of rise in power the moment it entered a berserk state.
Volibear don"t want to give it"s target more time to breath, so it immediately opens its mouth and try to bite s.h.i.+n the moment it manage to catch up to him.
"Monster Skill: Savage Bite"
But unfortunately for the bear, s.h.i.+n already swings his blazing sword on his front, sending a fiery fire sword "Qi" straight to Volibear"s mouth.
"Extra Skill: Flame Burst"
Bang!!!

"F*ck that defense!!!" cursed s.h.i.+n when he saw the amount of damages he have dealt on the Giant Bear. He is already fighting this bear for quite a while, but he can"t help himself to feel helpless every time he deal damage on it with some of his skills.
Volibear pause for moment when it is. .h.i.t by the "Flame Burst", but the bear still continue its bite after.
s.h.i.+n take advantage of that split second pause to swiftly sheath his sword, before ducking forward and barely dodging that bite.
MISS
Then s.h.i.+n position himself below Volibear"s neck before unsheathing his sword with great speed and slas.h.i.+ng it to that expose neck of the bear.
"Self-Created Skill: Quick Draw"
-9 335
-467(Burned Damage)
Roar!!!
Volibear release a loud frustrated roar because it taken another damage from s.h.i.+n, while it can"t even land a clean hit on this punny human.
Then the Bear powerfully swipe its left paw towards s.h.i.+n planning to slap him like some kind of housefly.
"Monster Skill: Swipe"
But too bad for the bear, s.h.i.+n already predicted that move. He bend his knees before jumping upwards while doing a corkscrew flip in the air.
Volibear"s left paw almost scratch s.h.i.+n"s body. But unfortunately for it, no matter how near that "Swipe" is, s.h.i.+n still manage to avoid it narrowly.
MISS
Volibear is gotten more enraged because its "Swipe" still failed to hit its mark, so it immediately opened its mouth once again and use another "Savage Bite" at s.h.i.+n, who is still spinning in the air.
But how can s.h.i.+n let himself to get hit by that bite without retaliating? He adjust his center of gravity to slow his descend. Then he enfold his sword with the power of the sun before slas.h.i.+ng it towards the jaws of the bear who is coming after his life.
"Slayer Skill: h.e.l.l Execution"
At the same time, the Sun and Moon Clones jumped above the giant bear"s back while also releasing an opposing auras with each other. Then they simultaneously swung their swords in the air, sending different kinds of sword "Qi"s towards the giant bear.
The opposing sword "Qi"s intervene with each other, before fusing into a rotating purple cross while continuing its descend.
"Clone Combined Skill: Eclipse Cross"
Volibear is about to get successful on landing a clean hit on s.h.i.+n. But unfortunately for it, reality is too cruel.
When its jaws were about to bite at s.h.i.+n, the "Eclipse Cross" sent by the twin clones landed on the back of the bear"s head first, causing for the bite to be interrupted. And what makes the situation worst is that s.h.i.+n"s "h.e.l.l Execution" landed at the same time, slas.h.i.+ng on the bear"s chin.
BANG!!!

Volibear fell lifelessly on the ground while also dropping some items on the process. And together with it is a system notification ring on s.h.i.+n"s ears.
*Ding!*
System: Congratulations! You are the first player that killed "Volibear" the Black Iron Dusk Bear, rewarding you 50 Fame points.
s.h.i.+n immediately gather the bear"s corpse before excitedly inspecting the items that it dropped. The bear only dropped 5 items which were too little compared to the other bosses, but their qualities were a little better.
And those items are a pitch-black leather belt which is part of the {Ruler"s Equipment Set}, a yellow skill book and two rainbow colored gemstones. But the best drop is last item, No... to be more specific, it is not an item but a pet.
"Huh? The set effect of {Ruler"s Set} is still not been revealed? Then it means that this equipment set have more than 5 parts. Well that was good for me, the more parts it have the better its set effect." muttered s.h.i.+n to himself. Then he turned his attention to the other drops.

"Hmm... This guy is a perfect meat s.h.i.+eld in battle. Hmm..? Should I take this one as my pet when I reach level 50?" muttered s.h.i.+n as he considering the pros and cons of taking the bear cub as his pet.
After few moments of thinking, he come up with the decision of not taking it. "Nah~, this guy is not suited for my fighting style. I prefer a pet that gives me some buff or one that have fast attacks like me. And with it, I can do a lot more complicated combos during the battle."
"OK, its time for me to submit all these quest and continue my travel towards the Seventh Outpost. Good thing that I still have more than a day to spend for that. As for completing the {Ruler"s Equipment Set}, I"ll investigate about it when I"m done with my main quest."
And after making sure that he didn"t forget about anything, s.h.i.+n put the bear cub in his inventory s.p.a.ce before unsummoning his clones, then he started walking back towards the Calderock Village.
