Chapter 20 Level Up
Both of them moved further into the dungeon and arrived at a group of four wolves. Behind them were two paths. The dungeon was a cave with multiple paths filled with wolves.
"Young Master, this may be a bit difficult for you. I can kill two of them for you," said Emmy.
Although Asher had easily killed a single wolf, attacking a group of them was different. One could be attacked from behind while attacking one enemy. Experience was required to fight a group of monsters.
Asher did not have any attack skills, and Emmy's reasoning was right, but Asher was far from normal. His experience in killing was way above Emmy's, who was an A-Rank Hunter, and mainly dealt with assassination and "cleaning."
"Don't bother with it. Let me try first," said Asher with his usual indifferent look.
"If you feel like I am in danger, you can kill them, but don't interfere unless absolutely necessary," he added.
Emmy could not refuse his orders, so she nodded and removed her presence and moved a bit closer to Asher to react to any mishaps immediately.
Asher moved towards the wolves, who noticed him but did not charge at him immediately. They sensed the blood of their own kind on his body, which made the human they were facing seem strong.
Though these monsters do not have the mental ability to think this far, their beastly instincts allow them to sense danger.
Two of the wolves started to circle around Asher to get him in the center so they could attack him together.
Unlike last time, Asher did not bother waiting for an attack. He bent his knees a bit and channeled some of his mana around his legs, then jumped towards the two wolves at high speed. His speed was comparable to any F-Rank hunter despite being a G-Rank. The additional boosts of the system were showing their effects now.
The two wolves wanted to dodge, but before they could, Asher reached one of them and slashed his sword. The wolf immediately died, with its blood spurting out of its neck region.

Seeing one of them die, the wolves growled at Asher. Two of them charged towards him from the front, but he backstepped from his previous position.
The other wolf, who was near him now, slashed its claw towards him. Asher blocked the claw attack with his sword. The sound of the claw and metal colliding was heard.
shing
He used mana around his arms to strengthen them and took his sword a bit towards him before pushing the wolf away. As he pushed the wolf, he immediately charged towards him and diagonally slashed at the wolf, whose face was cut in half.
<100 exp acquired>
Seeing his brutal way of killing, the two wolves took a step back and became wary of him. Asher was quite bored with the fight; it was not enough to get his blood pumping.
'I should probably stop playing around now. Seeing a bit more will not make Emmy suspicious of me,' thought Asher. He knew that everything happening here would be reported to his family. If Asher used his original fighting style, he would have a lot of explaining to do as to how a person who detested training became such a sword expert suddenly.
He immediately changed his footwork and channeled his mana into his hands and legs. He dashed forward towards one of the wolves to his right and slashed its stomach as it was trying to back off from his attack. Before giving it any time, he launched his sword straight into the heart area of the wolf.
He did not even wait to confirm if his attack killed the wolf or not, and sidestepped to dodge the attack of the wolf next to him. He was aware that the last wolf would try to surprise attack him and prepared accordingly.
The wolf was dumbfounded, seeing that its surprise attack had missed. But before it could even turn its body, Asher slashed his sword downward, and its head rolled off the body.

He removed the blood from his blade and unsheathed it while coming back towards Emmy, who was standing there dumbfounded.
"How?" she muttered to herself.
Emmy knew that Asher was a talented genius, and she even knew about his achievement during his awakening. But talent and experience were two different things. One could be talented in sword fighting, but if they never battled with it, mistakes were bound to happen.
This was also one of the reasons Arthur allowed Asher to go into the dungeon. He believed that Asher was rushing towards things too early, so he decided to show him what it really meant to be a hunter. He was right about it, but he could never know that Asher's sword mastery was above his as well. Though his body could not handle it right now, his sword art was truly terrifying.
Asher, who maintained his usual face, just looked at his maid, who was making quite a funny face right now.
"Let's go," he said, walking further into the dungeon without waiting for Emmy.
"Yes, Young Master!!" Emmy hurriedly followed behind him.
They moved and found three more wolves, which Asher killed easily.

Blue notifications popped directly into his mind, notifying him of his rewards.
He ignored them and moved towards his last two targets.
"Fuhh," Asher breathed out while moving towards them with his sword pointed at the ground.
The strong stench of blood around him alarmed them. These two wolves were bigger than the last eight wolves. They were peak G-Rank monsters.
Emmy would have stopped Asher earlier because these monsters were the same rank as him. But seeing his battle prowess, she decided to let him fight.
Asher was not bothered by the two wolves. He simply dashed towards them.
swish
He swung his sword at the wolf on his right, but the cut was not deep as both wolves jumped away from his trajectory to avoid his attack.

"GRRrrrrr!!" Both of them growled at Asher, who saw that the wolf he ignored had already jumped towards him. He stayed calm and stretched his left foot as he crouched a bit and rotated his body clockwise, performing a low horizontal slash.
*swish*
He maintained the momentum and sliced the head of the wolf, which was still mid-air above him.
*ping* <100 exp acquired>
*thup* The body of the wolf dropped to the ground. Asher face was covered with its blood, his cold looking face didn't make it much better. He was giving a aura of death subconsciously which made the other wolf unable to move. Even Emmy had a chill in her spine.
He didn't wait for the wolf to get out of his frozen state and immediately slashed it in half. *ping*

<5 Attributes points, 2 Skill points >
He ignored the notifications for the time being and said,
"Let's go back for today,"
Honestly he could still fight and level up more but he thought this was enough for today. He would need a lot of explanation to do if he fought more peak G-Rank monsters. As there will be more peak G-rank monsters from this point of the dungeon.
'Explaining will be too much of a hassle, I will just come alone to hunt and use my bloodline ability as well' Asher thought.
His aura which he released earlier had surprised Emmy but she recovered quickly.
"Cleanse" Emmy chanted the basic spell which was used by all of the hunters. As it names suggest, this spell was used to clean themselves and their equipment of beast blood and dirt.
"Thanks" Asher nodded and moved towards where the portal was. They came out of the portal and told the hunters to collect the carcass of the monsters for their use.
He moved towards his car and sat down and opened his status while on the way home,

"Hmmm, I will save the points for now," Asher decided to save the points rather than using them right now. He was thinking of unlocking synthesis before upgrading his skills.
'Right, my birthday party will be the place where all four of them showed up together for the first time,' Asher smirked while remembering this event.
"I will let this event play like it happened in the past, but this time the impact will be even larger," he thought.
He was remembering how his previous birthday party had gone.
He typed some information on his phone and sent it to Emmy, saying,
"Emmy, find this kid for me. And after you find him, don't make any moves. Just inform me first," Asher told her.
'Time to return the favors of the past,' Asher said while remembering the person he was searching for.
