The trip this time will take quite a long time until the destination. Because here Argus can not use any other road other than the road that is already available.
Because in the area of the city of Taito or outside the city walls the direction to the city of Baisi the surrounding forest is too steep to pass through the horse carriage.
So the only way is to use the road that has been available to cross the border.
After leaving the City, Argus immediately sat in front as usual with Alfred.
And this time Eve also sat in front, she sat in Argus' lap.
Suddenly on the way Eve felt something near there.
"Dad.. Looks like Eve felt a big meat in there.. "Sheep Spoke.
" Oh really..?? "Ask Argus. Then he looked in the direction that Eve had pointed out.
The direction was seen there was a fairly large lake there and there was a monster who was drinking by the lake.
It was a Tiger of enormous size, it had a height of over Seven meters.
"It looks like the skin can be made warm clothes or for the layer of the train bench to be soft.. " Murm Argus.
"Alfred stops here..
Hana you wait a minute ok.."
"Emmm.. " Consider Eve as the answer.
After the train stopped, Argus got down from there and then he pulled out something he hadn't used for a long time.
It was his sniper rifle.
"Is that Dad..? Is that Dad's toy..?? " Task Eve.
"Yes.. Is correct. This is one of the toys I made.. " Say Argus
"I haven't worn it in a long time.. " Said Argus as he rubbed the surface of the rifle.
"Even want to.. Eve also wants.. " Say Eve.
"Wait until the big Eve first ok..!! It's too dangerous for Eve now.. " Say Argus
"What's the Master..? Are we going to rest here..?? " Task Lisa.
"Yes.. We'll take a break.. " Said Argus.
Then he began to prepare it to aim at the giant Tiger. Argus used the least amount of strength this time because he wanted to make use of his skin.
So Argus needs to minimize his damage later. Then after confirming the target, Argus immediately shot him.
Just like before, Argus also used Gate Magic to prevent the Tiger from dodging.
*Bbaammm....!!
The tiger immediately fell in the distance and it looks like the shot just hit the target.
And at that time Argus also heard the notice of leveling up, but he didn't care about it.
"Looks hit.. Alfred take the train, let's go check it out.. " Said Argus.
"What weapon is that..?? " Ask Olivia as she looked at the rifle Argus was wearing.
"Master's artifact.. " Said Lisa.
"Artifacts..?? I've never seen anything like it. And it's very powerful and accurate.. "Speak Olivia.
" Yes.. The artifact was named Sniper Rifle. type SPR-2 Caliber 12.7 mm. It was strong enough to kill a Rank Monster in one strike.. "Speak Lisa.
"Is it that strong..? However, the Sniper Rifle..? SPR-2 Caliber 12.7 mm.? I don't understand it at all.. "Speak Olivia.
" Yes, I also don't understand Master's language to describe things..
Maybe it's some kind of lost past code or something.. "Speak Lisa.
" Yes it's possible.. "Say Olivia.
Then their chariot came to the side of the lake where the Tiger lay.
There was a hole the size of a fist appearing on the Tiger's head that instantly killed him.
"This.. Isn't this..?? " Say Olivia.
"What's up..? " Task Argus.
"This is a Monster that has been sought by many adventurers and warriors.. " Say Olivia.
"There is a special Quest that will be given for just the information of its existence. And this Tiger falls into the category of Rank S because in addition to his strength he can always disappear at any time.. "
"And that's why it's so hard to catch or kill him.. There have been many casualties due to this Monster attack, but the biggest loss is because this Tiger always targets livestock and horses or carriages that he meets. "
"His name if not mistaken was the Shadow Tiger Monster.. " Say Olivia.
"Skia Tiger or Shadow Tiger..? " Said Lisa while observing the huge monster.
"But it doesn't look like a shadow at all.. "
"indeed not.. Because that name comes from his ability.. " Say Olivia
"As I said before, he can disappear at any time because he has the ability to get into the shadows.. "
"Shadow Capability.. It's similar to my shadow ant's ability.. " Murm Argus.
Then he walked towards the corpse of the Tiger and after that..
"Dismantle..!! " Said Argus.
Then a light enveloped the corpse of the Monster a moment later all the material was separated.
The bones and skulls, claws, skin and flesh are all self-contained..
"This.. What the hell happened..?? " Ask Olivia.
"One of my abilities, it's very practical to disassemble materials.. " Said Argus.
"Magical Nature - The Living Forest..!! "
Then he put his hands on the ground and then two trees started growing there and then both made two twigs that were tied together.
"This...?? " Olivia was once again surprised by what Argus could do.
Plant magic or natural element magic is one of the magic that has been lost.
"You have to get used to this kind of thing.. " Say Olivia.
"Let's dry the tiger's skin first so we can use it.. " Said Argus.
Then they spread the tiger's skin between the two trees. Meanwhile Alfred had started cooking the tiger meat.
In addition to cooking in the usual way, most of the meat was roasted by Alfred for Argus. Argus also began to help roast it..
He applied various spices on it making the smell of the meat even more fragrant.
"What did Argus use to cook that meat..?? Why does it feel so fragrant and it seems like it is not something common..?? " Ask Olivia.
"Either.. Even though I've been with the master for a long time, I don't really understand either.
The master always brought out various herbs that I had never seen or tasted before. " Said Lisa.
After a while all the food was ready and they began to prepare to eat together.
{Ding. You get Shadow manipulation capability.}
"Shadow manipulation..?? Is this similar to the Nara Clan's Ninja ability..?? " Murm Argus
"Shadow manipulation..!! " Said Argus.
Then the shadow below began to move and then began to become some elongated tendrils and move according to Argus' will.
But the movement is still stiff and a little difficult to control. So Argus canceled it.
"It seems that this time it is not as easy as other skills, I need to get used to it and focus more on controlling this shadow.. " Said Argus.
Then Argus continued to try to use that ability to eat slowly so that he got used to controlling it.
He used his Mana power as little as possible to easily control it.
Argus used the shadow to hold the Flesh and also cut it. Slowly but surely Argus is getting good at controlling it.
"It's like a shadow version of Telekinesis.. " Murm Argus.
"Oh right, I haven't tried it to attack.. "
"Alfred.. Try standing there.. " Say Argus
"Good Master.. " Then Alfred started to stand where Argus showed him.
"What do you want to do..?? " Ask Olivia.
"Experimenting.. " Said Argus.
Then he began to take control of his shadow and began to bind Alfred's body.
"This..??! New magic..??! " Say Olivia was shocked when she saw Argus once again using magic that she had never seen.
"Yes, less is more.. " Said Argus.
"Alfred, try to free yourself.. "
Then Alfred began to try to break free, and the laborers took ten seconds to destroy Argus' shadow to break like a mirror.
"It seems less.. " Murm Argus.
Then he increased the amount of input where his.
"Try again..!! " Said Argus.
And this time it took a minute to break free from Argus' shadow.
And then the more experiments the longer it took Alfred to break free.
Until Alfred could no longer free himself with all his strength, Argus stopped doing the experiment.
"For just the strength of this bond is enough, all I need to try now is how strong it is to attack.. " Said Argus.
Then he walked up to one of the trees and tried to cast his shadow on the tree, and he succeeded.
But when changed into a big stone Argus failed and the shadow broke like a glass that hit the stone.
Even with the use of a lot of the power of the tip of the shadow Argus still could not hole the stone.
"Yes it seems like I need to think of another way, or this can only be on the mountain to hit..?? "
Then Argus clenched his hands and saw a shadow begin to envelop his fists.
Then when Argus tried to manipulate it, it was clear that the shadow formed a giant hand following the movement of Argus fingers and hands.
It was more like an extension of Argus' hand.
Then Argus tried to hit the rock earlier and this time Argus could easily crush it.
"It seems that this is not used for piercing like Shikamaru's.. " Rumphed Argus watching the Shadow in his hand.
Then Argus tried to extend the shadow and hold the other rocks in the distance. And then he grasped it, it turned out that it instantly shattered the stone.
"It looks like this is my version of shadow control.. " Said Argus.

Meanwhile, somewhere else.
"Areally how many skills does Argus have..?? " Ask Olivia
"Either.. The master can always do new things..
Often the master will learn or create new magic once he has inspiration or anything he can imagine.. " Said Lisa.
"I don't even know what a master can't do.. It was as if a god would always give a new Master of magic every time.. "
"And it seems like the master has knowledge that comes from nowhere that makes him able to do or think of something that maybe no one has ever thought of.. "
"I suggest you not be surprised too early, because maybe after this you will see something that can overturn the common sense of this world.. " Say Lisa as she feeds Eve.
"Who exactly is this Argus..?? " Murmured Olivia as she watched Argus who was still trying to do something with his new magic.
After being tasted enough for the experiment this time, Argus then went back to eating.. He consumed the entire Meat of that Tiger Monster.
"It looks like I need to hunt more meat..
Right now the stock that I belong to lives a little.. " Say Argus
"Oliv, do you know of any places around here that have a lot of Monsters..?? If it could be a monster that had a large size.. " Said Argus.
"Great monster.. Let me remember first.. " Say Olivia.
After thinking for a while, Olivia finally remembered.
"Oh right.. In the next few hundred meters there will be another lake, there is said to have a snake monster that inhabits it... "
"But I don't know the certainty of that rumor. Because there is no real evidence and when the investigation is also not found anything in the water.
However some adventurers would strangely disappear around that lake.. " Say Olivia.
"Well Water snake monster..?? Interesting, maybe the meat will be good if satay.. " Say Argus
"Well then we go there now, let's pack up again.. "
"wait... do you want to catch him..?? " ask Olivia
"yap.a very true." said Argus while re-inserting the Tiger's skin earlier.
"we'll cook the snake meat at the next stop.. "
"that's.. " Olivia hesitates and fears Argus being hurt.
"just calm down, no one has been able to hurt Master until now, so you don't have to worry" Lisa said.
