" Analyze !!" said Zyle, dropping everything and placing them all by a tree at a distance and firmly holding his sword. Zyle knew he was in for a fight, judging by the thickness of the creature's Battle Aura. Its Purple-colored Battle Aura was one inch thicker than that of the One-horned Goth Rabbitus. It is safe to say, Zyle already knew that he had just encountered yet another Magical Beast. To get an accurate reading of the creature's strength, he had to analyze it.

[Description: Titan Forest Ant is a magical beast that is the evolved version of the Giant Forest Ant. Its power multiplied 10-fold. Its antennas are as sharp as the edge of a blade. It has the ability to shoot out its antennas like vines and can pierce through almost anything. Its strongest attack can deal 1.5 times more damage by using its extremely sharp mandibles.]
Zyle began to move around the creature slowly, he had not yet been noticed. The creature's legs look like spiked clubs, a blunt but deadly melee weapon. The Titan Forest Ant had a dark greenish exoskeleton that looked like heavy armor. Zyle drew closer to the creature while it was busy cannibalizing the Giant Forest Ant. Suddenly, a twig snapped under Zyle's foot, the creature was now alerted. At the same time, Zyle had already leaped 3.5 feet into the air, swinging down his 3-second Charged Up blade, but the strike was repelled by its exoskeletal armored body. The Titan Forest Ant was now battle-ready. It started drooling, this was one of the creature's defense mechanisms. If an opponent were to launch a frontal assault, they usually would slip and fall on the slippery drool and get eaten almost instantly. The Titan Forest Ant fired one antenna towards Zyle, who had now distanced himself 15 feet from the creature after his initial attack failed.
Zyle partially blocks the attack while moving to the side, avoiding the blunt force of the attack. The attack continued forward after just missing Zyle and ended up hitting a medium-sized tree, breaking it in half. This creature with this immense strength was indeed formidable. The Titan Forest Ant retracted its antenna while launching the other antenna, Zyle, with his sharp eyes- use his sword to parry by directing the attack, he was growing confident. The moment the fight became intense, neither side was letting up, every time the Titan Forest Ant shot out this antenna, Zyle would parry it.
Although it wasn't as fast, the magical beast was firing its antenna like bullets and every time Zyle parried it with his sword, it would make a clinking sound. The clanging made during the fighting was loud and vibrated throughout the area. If one were far out, the sound would be akin to two skilled swordsmen in the midst of an intense battle. The Titan Forest Ant screeched towards the sky in frustration, even though Zyle was on the defensive for the past 10 minutes, the creature hadn't landed a single blow. It retracted its antennas and charged toward Zyle in the hopes of pulverizing him with its spiky club-like legs. Zyle quickly jumped out of the way to dodge it, and he did it repeatedly until he decided to attack every time he dodged towards the Titan Forest Ant's side. He slashed toward the creature's legs in an attempt to cut them off, but it was not working. Zyle then targeted the side of the creature's body, and he finally managed to do damage by swinging his sword upward to its underside. The Titan Forest Ant screeched out in pain from the hit, it took 12.28 damage, and its health points were now 107.72 HP left.
Zyle leaped backward, creating distance, and he began to use the Charge Upskill with the sword for 10 seconds to maximize the damage output. The creature had snapped out of it and began to attack at a distance by once again firing its antennas. In the midst of gathering energy, the only thing he could do was to try his best to dodge the attacks. Although Zyle was able to repeatedly dodge the incoming attacks, he wasn't very fast, so each and every attack grazed him and caused some minor damage. Zyle was relentless, even though he was taking some damage, he started counting the seconds as he gathered energy.

At this point, the incoming attacks became even faster. Even though Zyle was still dodging, he was taking slightly more damage, and cuts can be seen forming all over his body with every attack.

"10 seconds!" said Zyle, finally ready to attack.
He dashed forward for a frontal assault, bobbing and weaving almost all of the attack, but he was also taking more damage from the attacks. [ -10HP] he was caught on the left arm with slightly more than half of the creature's attack force.[- 10 HP ] he was caught on the right arm this time. Finally, he was close; the creature used its mandibles in an attempt to snap off Zyle's head and almost succeeded. Narrowly escaping death, Strains of Zyle's hair were snipped off as Zyle glided on the drool and thrust his sword upwards toward the creature's underbelly with all his might. The attack cut through the Titan Forest Ant with relative ease, it was like cutting fabric with a pair of scissors. The Titan Forest Ant flipped over, flailing in pain, and died quickly after.

"That was a close one," said Zyle, relieved he won the fight.
Zyles' cuts had already started healing, and HP was steadily increasing.
"Hey Obby how long will it take for me to fully heal ?" ask Zyle still feeling sluggish and sore.
" Master, currently you are healing at a rate of 5 hp every 15 minutes, you will be fully healed in 2 and a half hours. Furthermore, you should know that you heal at a rate of 1 hp every 30 minutes during combat," Obby stated.
Additionally you may have also notice that your MP resets every time you level up, Master," Obby added once again.
"Yes i did and Thanks, Obby," said Zyle as he went near the tree that had all his belongings and picked them all up.
During the fight, Zyle realized he wasn't very fast so he added his one growth point towards speed. he then continued to make his way toward the camp. It was already 23:00, Zyle knew he had to rush to start the third phase of the fence project before nightfall and so he bolted…
