Ancient Adventurer Return

{ Katarea's P.O.V }

After I exited the hotel, I searched for a place that would sell me some good weapon. I alredy didn't wanted one, so atleast it had to be a good one. I didn't know what type of weapon would fit me, but given that I'm a Djinn it would make sense to choose a weapon that required great strengh.

When I entered the store I was quite shocked at how luxurious it was. A hunter passing by had told me that this was one of the best weapon story in the city, but I didn't think it would be like that. Anyway I quickly found my weapon, a cheap but tough looking warhammer made out of mana iron, which was just iron reinforced by mana.

After I bought it, I asked the owner if he knew where I could find a monster zone. He told me that there was a monster zone filled with goblins in an abandoned parking lot. Without wasting anytime, I then headed towards said monster zone and arrived in a few minutes.

It would be my first time in a monster zone so I was quite anxious. Djinns had the tendency to surestimate everything, so I naturally prepared myself like I was gonna fight monsters who were stronger than the Boss I fought in the dungeon. I was just happy that there wasn't anyone in the monster zone, which meant I could focus on the fight and worry about the loots later.

According to what little information I had on monster zones, good loot was really rare and could only be obtained from the anomalies, creatures who were much stronger than the others in the monster zone. So I was on the lookout for any creature who would be stronger than the goblins. Those little green monsters only dropped crafting materials which wasn't useful to my master. I needed to get some high tier items for him, and maybe intermediate tier equipement for me. A good tier 4 armor would be much appreciated, I was pratically n.a.k.e.d with my current armor.

Walking inside the monster zones I kept my senses sharp, I wasn't gonna get surprised by those green filths. And sure enough, I saw a group of Gobelins...Or maybe an army actually. There were alteast 50 goblins who were surrounding a goblin who wore a long blue cloak. So a group of goblins led by a goblin mage. The goblins would be easy to kill but the mage was gonna be a headache. As a Djinn I didn't have a protection against magic, even basic spells. I should've asked master to give me a necklace.

*Vrrrr*

Hearing my bracelet vibrate I glanced at it and saw that it was telling me that goblins were nearby. This was really a useful thing. But back to those goblins, the mage was still a problem.

Well I could still take him out. If I could kill him with a surprise attack it would be nice. So walking in the darkness, I slowly approached them. They were dancing for some reasons, and the mage was chanting something.....A spell !

* Boom *

A huge fireball exploded in front of him. I was then sent flying on a few meters before I crashed into a wall. Getting up as I g.r.o.a.n.e.d, I snarled while my vision was filled with red. And here it was, the skill that all djinns had.....Berserker's Mind.

For the next ten minutes I had no idea of what I was doing. I couldn't control my body, but I was slaughtering them. The mage kept firing small fireballs at me while I swung my ace randomly cleaving some goblins in half while the others were lucky enough to land a few hits on me with their primitive daggers.

When my vision returned to normal and I got the control of my own body back I was drenched in blood. I had a few hits on my forearms and legs, but I was fine overall. The Mage had only burned my a little bit of my back, but it wasn't anything problematic.

As I looked around for anything interesting that the Goblins could've left behind, I heard a growl coming from the shadows. I turned around and gripped my axe tightly, this was clearly an anomaly. An anomaly could be literally anything, so I stayed focused.

Hearing some noises on my right I quickly dodged as a huge claw grazed me. I jumped to dodge another claw and used my axe mid-air to block a kick from a clawed feet.

Well this feet looked quite human, that wasn't a good sign, especially since I could clearly hear the growl of a beast that sounded like an animal I knew.

A loud roar made me froze, but I recovered and ran towards the only corner of the room where light shone on the ground. I then looked around, trying to spot the beast, but it seemed that it wanted to stay in the shadows. I allowed myself to breath a sigh of relief as I dropped on the ground.

I really had bad luck contrarily to my master, and it showed now. Though I was still a tier 5 Djinn, I wasn't going down so easily. Bracing myself I got up and tightened my grip on my axe.

* Vrrrr*

Hearing my bracelet vibrate I looked down and my heart sank. Bad luck indeed. I should've brought a bigger weapon, or maybe I really should've asked for the necklace.
