Idle Money System-Chapter 54 - 53 The Real Danger
Alexander, who was running with the wind accompanying him above the trees, his speed was so fast that a whooshing sound could be heard. His location right now was already outside the location of the village.
The forest he was in had now become a little unfamiliar, but he had already memorized the way back. So he went even deeper, stopping from his tracks, he sensed something. A faint energy seemed to be attracting his attention.
He glanced at the waft of energy that he sensed, and it was located in the east side. Where trees, branches, vines, and tall grass were covering the way. He did not go in using the usual actions, but used the vines to glide himself through the way.
In the forest, he moved like Tarzan, gliding effortlessly through the trees. The closer he got, the stronger the energy he felt. This made him wonder about the source of this. He continued his way, using vines to leap up and land on a tree branch.
In the spot, there was a big clear zone over 30 meters wide, situated in the mountain range. A plant was placed in the center. Behind the plant, in a big rocky wall, where there was a large hole, that is dark as the night.
"What kind of plant is that?" Alexander mumbled, glancing at the plant. He couldn’t get a good look at it since it seemed like a mist was covering the plant.
He was about to jump to take a look at it when, suddenly, he saw that a bush far away trembled and a big animal appeared in his sight.
As the bush trembled, a large, menacing creature emerged from behind it. The beast stood tall with an imposing aura, it was mix between a wolf and a bear, with a muscular build and dark shaggy fur covering its body.
Its head was wolf-like, complete with sharp, bared teeth and glowing red eyes. The creature’s pointed ears twitched as it moved, and a long, thick tail swished behind it, adding to its intimidating presence.
Standing well over 9 feet tall, the creature’s powerful limbs and razor-sharp claws made it clear that it was a formidable and dangerous animal. Its piercing gaze were locked onto the cave its seems like it saw something, suddenly a strong presence is overwhelming the place it even sends a shiver down his spine as he gazed at the monster that is slowly revealing itself.
It was a large, rat which is a truly imposing sight. It stands over five feet tall standing on its two legs, making it towering even for a human. Its fur is a striking blend of black and fiery orange, almost as if it’s been dipped in molten lava.
The orange sections of its fur glow with an inner light, giving it an otherworldly appearance.
Its head is distinctly like a rat of course, with a long, pointed snout and sharp, bared teeth.
Its eyes are glowing red, adding to its menacing expression. Its ears are large and pointed, and they twitch constantly, giving it an alert and watchful demeanor.
The creature’s body is muscular but also slim, with thick, powerful limbs and razor-sharp claws. Its long, thick tail swishes behind it as it moves, adding to its intimidating presence.
The weapon it held in his right hand is a long and sharp, it’s like a spear, but it also has a curved blade at the end, like a scythe. It’s a truly unique and deadly weapon, and it’s clear that the creature is skilled in using it.
"A rat using a weapon, righttt!" Alexander, who was above the branch and was covered by the thick branches, was speechless as he looked at this scene.
The creature that looked like a wolf but in a bizarre way, since its face was the only thing that resembled the face of a wolf, but only 20% was the same look as a wolf. If you describe it, it seems to be like an alien creature than a wolf.
He looked at the rat that was glowing like molten lava, gnarling his teeth while releasing a growl. The rat just screeched to assert dominance from his large opponent. As it pounced, the rat did not face it head-on but dodged.
The wolf-like creature disappeared in its position, leaving a gust of wind in its wake. The rat, undeterred by its speed, dodged it with great speed. Alexander, who was watching this battle, was astonished.
The speed of the two beasts was too hard to be seen. Even he could only see two images appearing and disappearing in place. But he could hear a clanking sound, while a gust of wind force spread out.
"What the heck are these two beasts made of?" Alexander mumbled inwardly, watching the battling.
Then the rat held the spear-scythe on his hands as he spun it in his hands, as he rushed, breaking the sound barrier. The wolf-like creature had no time to dodge, when the rat was in range, he stopped and truck his weapon in just one motion.
The attack released at least 20 consecutive attacks with great speed. Caught off guard, the beast was pushed back by hitting its chest. It puked a large amount of blood as it rolled on the ground.
As it got up, its eyes were black like the abyss. Then the fur on its skin turned black, giving off a black mist in the surroundings. Then it opened its large mouth and condensed a large ball of dark energy as it released it.
The rat, look at it with pure disgust in his gaze, he disappeared in his place with great speed. When he appeared, he had already arrived in front of the beast. Using the bottom part of the spear-scythe he ducked and thrust it up, hitting its jaw, closing its mouth. The condensed ball exploded in its mouth, as a large amount of black smoke seeped out of its mouth and nose.
Its eyes were turning white as it swung from left to right like a drunk animal. It was totally defeated by the rat easily, like it was just a passerby in a roadside. Alexander couldn’t help but be afraid of the rat. The speed and power of its blows are not something he can contend with.
As the wolf-like creature staggered, the rat burst out in his speed, closing in the distance. As the gust of wind, he was already behind the beast as he looked back at it. The wolf-like creature was not moving anymore and just stood there lifelessly.
Suddenly, its body slowly cut into two, by something sharp, as it slowly dropped to the ground. The blood was slow to react that after it falls, it began to soak the grassy plain.
Alexander, seeing how horrifying and cruel the rat in front of him was, sensed a huge dread upon him. As he looked at the rat, he saw that it also gazed at him. Seeing the fiery eyes of the beast, he was scared, very scared.
But it just glanced at him as it goes back to his cave, making him feel relieved when he saw that it did not bother to kill him. He then decided to just go back, since it was already about to struck six in the morning.

"I must not go deeper again. If I’m right, those two must be beasts that have reached level 50 or above," Alexander thought, as he took a sigh.
He was still a vegetable on a chopping board in this world. For now, he must be careful from now on. If he died so suddenly by his stupid actions, that would be the worst way to fail the mission. As he traced his way back, he spotted two boars.
"Lucky me, a breakfast presents itself to me," Alexander said with a smile, as he licked his lips.
Then he disappeared above the tree, and when he reappeared, he just hit the head of the two beasts, knocking them unconscious. The two animals were so big that even one seemed like enough, but for two? It will be more than enough.
Carrying the two back, he arrived at the familiar river. After crossing it, he arrived back and saw that Aeloria was already awake. She seemed to be looking for someone, and as he arrived, he dropped the two boars on the ground, creating a ruckus.

Hearing the sudden loud sound, Aeloria shifted her head sideways and saw it was Alex. She then walked in large strides and seeing that he actually caught two big boars for breakfast, she was in awe yet again.
"Alex, did you capture this?" she said filled with questions.
"Of course, who else other than me, who was present here can capture these two?" Alexander said while pursing his lips.
Even though the question she asked was so stupid, it was just that it was hard to believe. Two big boars that were the size of a 10-year-old child were brought here. She knows that this kind of animal can only be found in the outer skirts of the village.
Carrying these back would take a long time since carrying two of these would be such a hustle for a normal person. But for Alexander, he was not a normal person. So, he cannot relate to their struggles at all.
"You should rest for now, while I make breakfast," Aeloria said with a smile, motioning for Alexander to sit.
Alexander nodded, and he couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of breath, as he couldn’t wait to eat. The food made by Aeloria is the most delicious thing he had ever eaten. He couldn’t wait to taste it.
Seeing his expression, Aeloria couldn’t help but smile as she took the two boars behind the house to be cut. After that, Alexander saw a little girl come out from the house, where his eyes were still dull and sleepy.
Anya who just woke up and was still in a hazy state, walked towards Alexander. "Big brother Alex, I want to pla...." she did not finish her words, as her head fell towards his thighs, as she closed her eyes and slept again.
Alexander couldn’t help but smile from this, so he carried her in his palms, placing her on his lap. As she slept soundlessly, after a while, she only woke up when Aeloria was done from cooking. The three of them then had a hearty meal, as Alexander swallowed the meat like a devourer.
The taste was truly magnificent. Aeloria couldn’t help but be proud seeing Alexander enjoying her homemade dish so much. Suddenly, there was a man in tattered clothes who came running to their house.
