Chapter 15 (1/2)

The bodies of three corrosive hounds lay by Austin and Catherine’s feet.

“Just now…”

Catherine broke out in a cold sweat.

If Austin was not there, she might get herself bitten by the two corrosive hounds that had sneaked up on her.

“Brother, am I dead?”

Catherine’s face turned pale, and her pleasant voice trembled.

After all, it was actual combat.

It did not matter how well you performed during practice or how well you studied at the magic academy.

In a real fight with an enemy or a vicious beast, the slightest mistake could kill you.

The result might be death!

Catherine felt a pang of fear as she recalled what had happened.

She did not even notice that there was not a drop of blood on Austin’s body when he killed the three corrosive hounds.

Austin cast an air shield around himself.

It was precisely due to this shield that Austin spared himself from being splattered with blood.

Droplets of blood splashed onto the air membrane and then rolled onto the ground.

“You’re not dead. You’re still alive.” Austin said seriously.

“But if I’m not here, the consequences would be unthinkable.”

Austin sensed that his sister was trembling with fear and stroked her head lovingly.

“Alright, learn from your mistakes. Actual combat can help you grow.”

“Remember, never relax in a dangerous environment. For example…”

Austin punched to the side without looking back.

With a loud bang, the punch killed the corrosive hound that pounced over from the shop next to them.

When!?

Catherine froze.

There was another corrosive hound.

How would she know that Austin had come into contact with cats, snakes, spiders, and other types of magical beasts? His cells had evolved many times and obtained super-perceptive abilities.

Austin no longer observed the world simply with his eyes.

His sense of smell, hearing, heat and even the mysterious sixth sense had far surpassed that of a magister.

“Brother, there are no tracking devices on these corrosive hounds.”

Katherine sliced through a corrosive hound’s rotting flesh with her dagger, looking for a tracking device, but found nothing.

Austin glanced around and replied, “Maybe these are still young corrosive hounds, so they don’t have it.”

There were tens of thousands of ferocious beasts living in Vicious Beast Town. Naturally, they would reproduce.

Although the corrosive hounds were weak among the low-level ferocious beasts, they could eat almost anything. They had strong survival abilities and reproducing rates.

Corrosive hounds that came in groups of three to five were usually not adults.

The adults would even eat their own kind if they were in extreme hunger!

At this moment, the sound of intense gunfire came from the nearby streets.

Before long, monstrous roars and horrible screams rang.

“Austin…”

Catherine glanced at Austin.

Austin shook his head. “Come on. We’ll keep walking around here.”

“Young corrosive hounds are good for practice to improve your combat experience.”

Catherine became dazed for a moment.

She felt as if there was a tier-two magister beside her who was patiently teaching her.

Her elder brother was always so reliable.

Staring at Austin’s back, Catherine felt a sense of comfort.
