"This just keeps getting better, system explain what the new skills do".

'Who is this boy talking to, is he communicating through telepathy' the woman in the bush wondered.

"Good skills, but they all related to silver, because of his evolution, now that I have the mount skills, I should be able to get to the village faster," Ray said eager to try riding his horned wolf.

Ray mounted on top of the wolf but nothing happened, "silver go" Ray said and immediately the wolf started running towards the village.

"This is very strange, maybe he's really part of the organization that I'm looking for, I should follow him," the woman said and quickly ran after Ray, "Woah where did he go".

The woman looked around but Ray was out of sight, 'i should go to the capital to report back'.

The wolf's speed was on a different level, but Ray didn't struggle with falling, it felt like he couldn't fall down, 'maybe it was due to the mount skills' that were his thoughts.

Ray arrived at the village in some minutes, his wolf seems to know exactly where he wanted to go and it stopped immediately after they arrived in front of the village.

A white light enveloped the wolf and it returned back to the system, Ray entered the village and saw a young boy outside.

"Hi," Ray said to the boy, "hey" the boy replied looking at Ray from head to toe.

"I heard slimes are disturbing this village", "who are you?" the boy asked, "I'm Ray an adventurer".

"An adventurer, are you a mage or a knight?" the boy asked, "take me to your village head," Ray told the boy in a stern tone.

"You think you scare me with your voice, you look nothing like an adventurer, don't try to show off, you would be killed," the boy said and turn back to leave.

"Killed, what do you mean" Ray held the boy and asked him, "if you really are an adventurer as you said, you people are trash, I hate all of you" the boy shouted at Ray.

"Tell me what happened?", "because this village is poor, we sent a request to the capital asking for help immediately, and we were told to wait that they were busy" tears were already visible in his eyes.

"When did the slimes attack your village?", "Yesterday someone tried to do something about them but..." the boy now burst into tears.

Ray looked around the village, he hasn't seen anyone outside, "I'm sorry" Ray said to the young boy.

"Where is everyone?" Ray asked the boy, "the adults are having a meeting and the children are inside" the boy said while cleaning his tears.

"Take me to the adults," Ray said, "follow me," the boy said and showed Ray where they were having a meeting.

"We can't keep staying indoors and waiting for the capital to send someone," a woman said angrily.

"Then what do you suggest, you saw what happened yesterday, we are not warriors or magicians so what do we do," the village head said to the group of ten adults.

The village was smaller compared to Lily's village, Ray could count the houses in the village, it was surrounded by a wooden fence and around it was a few farms and a large forest.

The boy pointed Ray to where there were holding the meeting. "Hi," Ray said, "I'm from the capital, I was sent to this village".

The village head's face brightened, "I'm the village head" the old man said to Ray.

"I told you they would send someone," the village head said to the remaining people and they all nodded in agreement.

"So where is the rest of your forces?" a woman asked, "forces, I'm alone," Ray said and all their hopes vanished immediately.

"How can you be alone", "what are you going to do by your self" they complained to Ray, "I thought they were just slimes, I can handle them myself," Ray said confidently.

They all look at Ray and looked back at themselves, "they come from the forest and destroy our plants and farm, and kill anyone who tries to attack them" the village chief explained.

"From that forest" Ray pointed towards the forest, "yes" the man answered.

"Okay, wish me luck," Ray said and begin to walk towards the forest, "wait, you are going into the forest?" a woman asked, "yes, don't worry, I won't die," Ray said and dash towards the forest.

"Wow, he has confidence in his skills" the village head was amazed at Ray's attitude.

"Why did you bring slimes, don't you have a better cave" a hooded figure spoke from the top of a tree in the forest.

"What did you expect, should I bring something that would destroy the village" another hooded figure shouted, "stop arguing, I also think slimes are useless, they are mindless," the third one said.

They were three hooded figures sat on a tree looking down at the slimes as they walked mindlessly in the forest, the three of them wore long robes that covered their entire bodies.

Ray finally reached where the slimes were, "look someone's here" one of them said, "finally, let's kill him and get this mission over with" another hooded figure said.
