Lightning Is the Only Way

"RAAAAH!"

The lion looked towards the origin of the shout and saw a small beast charging at him clumsily.

More food had appeared.

The lion was a Low-Rank Demonic Beast, and it had realized that weak beasts appeared from the direction of the earth walls in random intervals. These beasts had no experience and became easy food for the lion. Staying here had proven quite fruitful.

The lion righted itself and charged at the approaching attacker. This fight would end quickly, just like all the other ones. As the attacker neared the lion, the lion lifted one of its claws to strike the opponent.

BANG! CRK!

The swipe hit, but for some reason, the lion wasn't powerful enough to throw the attacker to the side. Additionally, its claws broke on the attacker's scales. The lion had never experienced anything like this!

BANG!

The lion was thrown into the distance as a huge gash nearly tore its right front-leg off. The lion panicked, and after sliding for a couple of meters, it got up again.

BANG!

But not before the attacker reached it and started wailing on the lion with all kinds of random attacks. Yet, all of these attacks proved effective as chunks of flesh got thrown into the distance. The lion couldn't do anything as it was reduced to chunks by the attacks.

In less than a minute, the lion's life ended. Aris had made his first kill, and it had proven incredibly easy. After seeing that the lion stopped moving, Aris calmed down again and looked at the corpse. For some reason, he wasn't satisfied. He somehow felt disappointed.

Aris didn't know why he felt this way. He wanted food, and now he had food. Something inside him told him that he shouldn't eat the corpse. Yet, his hunger disagreed. So, Aris dug in and began to consume the corpse, but he didn't feel happy or fulfilled while doing so.
