Chapter 19 (1/2)

Catherine had been protected by her brother ever since she was young.

When other kids bullied her, it was always her brother standing in front to protect her.

In Catherine’s heart, Austin had always been her guardian angel.

It was until they took the magister aptitude test at nine years old.

The test showed that Austin’s magical aptitude was extremely poor, while Catherine’s magical aptitude was excellent.

Afterward, Catherine went to a magic academy, and Austin could only go to an ordinary school.

Catherine, who cultivated the channeling technique and embarked on the path of a magic caster, became more powerful by the day, surpassing her ordinary brother soon after.

At that time, Catherine secretly swore that she would protect her brother.

Unexpectedly, just as she had become the magister that she was so proud of, and just when she thought that he could protect his brother, Austin revealed his “unknown” side.

Powerful!

Berserk!

Domineering!

Confidence!

The brother before her was mysterious and charming.

Catherine stared at Austin blankly.

She did not know if she was considered a brother complex.

In any case, she could not talk about such feelings.

“Silly sister, your brother must be powerful. Otherwise, how can I protect you?”

Austin rubbed Catherine’s head affectionately.

As for the secret of the system and cell evolution, Austin would never tell anyone about it.

Even for his sister or his parents, Austin would never tell them.

“Alright, hurry up and eat. You haven’t even hunted down a single low-level beast.”

With that, Austin began to grill the bear paws.

Two hours later.

The park in the Vicious Beast Town was a mess—blown up grass patches, broken tree trunks, a panting pony-tailed girl.

And…, a python covered in pitch-black snake scales!

A Black Scaled Horned Python!

“Not bad, not bad. You killed the stronger Black Scaled Horned Python amongst the low-level vicious beasts. Great improvement.”

Austin clapped his hands in encouragement and stepped in.

Catherine wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled happily.

She slung the Vulcan magick shotgun behind her back and stuck the magick pistol back into its holster.

On the Black Scaled Horned Python, a dagger stuck on its seven-inch white scale.

The manual described it very clearly: The Black Scaled Horned Python had tough armor and excellent strength. Its weakness was the seven-inch white scales.

Even though she knew that information, it was still difficult to kill it.

Catherine had to use her magick shotgun to destroy the Black Scaled Horned Python’s bloody mouth before she could finally step up to stab her dagger into the snake’s seven-inch white scales.

Even a low-level beast was so hard to kill.

Catherine realized more of how powerful her brother was. Beating a mid-tier Vicious Beast Armored Raging Bear to death was no joke.

“Get some rest, then come and eat some grilled snake meat.”

Austin began to fiddle with his cooking materials again.

That was his way of sustaining the war by means of war.

When the others were still starving and were on tenterhooks while avoiding the vicious beasts, Austin and Catherine started a barbecue feast.

After supervising the exam for years, this was the first time the examiners had seen such things.

A while later.

In the narrow alleyway, Catherine encountered two corrosive hounds.

Adult corrosive hounds!

In other words, Catherine got attacked by two low-level beasts.

Austin stood at the side and still had no intention of helping.

He said calmly, “There’s no difference between a corrosive hound and a dog when you’re fighting them.
