Adrian's eyes locked on the Flame Wolf, its fiery fur flickering like embers. The beast had already spotted him. But it was too late for it.
Adrian's finger tapped the trigger of the Mana Gun, opting for a low-intensity shot.
His [Intermediate Shooting Technique (1)] kicked in, and he easily anticipated the wolf's dodge.
A pulse of blue mana gathered at the barrel's tip, then erupted in a sharp sound.
~ZAP!~
The shot streaked through the air like a comet. The wolf darted right, but the blast still managed to strike its torso squarely.
The wolf yelped, stumbling as the mana seared its hide, smoke curling from the wound. Notifications flashed in Adrian's vision:
[Congratulations! You have killed a magical beast!]
[Would you like to harvest its Magic Crystal?]
Adrian blinked, stunned. "Wow. That was easy... easier than I expected."
He grinned and adrenaline rushed through him. "Of course." He approached the wolf's smoldering corpse and corpse it in his [Inventory] too.
