Shang went into the dark cave. He thought that his mind was focusing on his surroundings and how to find a powerful beast, but he noticed several times that his attention was slipping.

'I'm not focused!' he thought with frustration.

'I made my choice!'

'I don't have time to think about these feelings!'

'Fucking focus!'

Shang's mind kept passively inspecting his surroundings as he went deeper into the cave.

First, Shang walked upwards, but he noticed that the beasts he found only became weaker.

So, he decided to walk down.

'The higher I go outside the mountain, the stronger the beasts, but it's the opposite in this cave.'

As Shang found the first Commander Stage beasts, his focus increased.

The danger of his surroundings was pulling his mind away from its painful thoughts to focus on staying alive.

After a while, Shang reached a place where he could see Early Commander Stage beasts, but he went further.

'Everything for my goal! Even if absorbing a more powerful beast is way more dangerous, the increased efficiency is worth it!'

'It's all for my goal!'

But was that the true reason?

Was the increased efficiency really the reason why he was seeking out a Mid Commander Stage beast to absorb?

Shang kept descending until his Darkness Vision picked up a beast.

It was lying in wait on the top of the cave. Its gigantic pincers were ready to strike at anything that came close to it.

It was a beast with a Darkness Affinity.

BANG!

Shang charged upward with an Ice Blast.

He arrived so quickly that the beast barely had time to react.

If an ambush hunter got the opportunity to strike first, it would be able to unleash a terrifying amount of power.

However, if that same ambush hunter got ambushed, it would find itself in a lot of trouble.

The majority of the beast was buried inside the ceiling, with only its gigantic pincers peeking out.

This was not a good position to evade an incoming attack.

BANG!

Sword punched through the pincers, cutting them off the beast's head.

The beast screeched and exploded out of the ceiling.

BANG!

Shang released another blast with his left leg and kicked the approaching beast with his right.

BOOOOM!

Shang's leg broke in several places, but the beast was violently thrown into the hole it had created to wait for its prey.
