After a while a monster jumped out of a bush and attacked Claude, it was a red eyed wolf.

Claude's eyes glinted as he swing his sword towards the wolf, It opened its mouth and caught his blade with its fangs

Claude swung his sword throwing the wolf away.

"Grrrrrrrr" The wolf growled as it circles around him

[[Red Eyed Wolf, Class D Monster]]

"Just one?" Claude looked around him, the wolves usually travel and hunt in packs but it seems like this wolf was alone.

The wolf saw an opening and pounced at Claude.

Claude sidestepped then slashed down on its neck beheading the wolf.

The battle lasted in two moves.

"If I only had this sword before... I could've won." Claude mumbled as he swipe the blood off the sword, He was proficient at sword but mediocre when fighting without it.

There were 7 red dots rushing towards Claude's Location.

it was a pack of wolves, it seems like that they smelled blood.

Claude smiled at the wolves "Now this is gonna be a challenge, but a god is protecting me so it should be fine" He had faith in his new god.

Claude made the first move and charged at the wolves.

[[Horned Wolf, Class E Monster]]

SLASH!!!

One swing killed one wolf.

The wolves started to attack Claude in succession but the speed of Claude's movements were faster than the wolves, He easily dodged the wolves and hacked at them.

One by one the wolves number decreased, it was a one sided massacre.

"..... is he even a human?" Lucio wondered.

"System, is there a way to classify a human's strength?"

[[There is.]]

"What is Claude's classification?"

[[Claude Holsworth, Peak Class D Swordsman]]

"Peak Class D? what about the people that he fought before?"

[[The System can't classify an object that's not infront of your vision.]]

"Weren't they infront of me few minutes ago?"

[[The System can't classify an object that hasn't been scanned before]]

"How do you even scan-"

[[The System only scans an object that the user wants to scan]]

"...." Lucio sighed, was the system designed to help him? or is it designed to be an inconvenience to him?

here were monsters that showed up and tried to attack Claude but failed, most of the battles only lasted in two or three moves, most of the monsters that tried to attack him were one rank below him.

Soon they reached the outskirts of the mountain.

[[Warning: You are about to leave your territory.]]

"What happens if I leave my territory?" Lucio wanted to confirm it, would he be danger because of the other gods? or would it be fine?

[[If the User leaves his territory, other gods would be able to sense the user and would be put in danger]] The System explained.

"Alright" He was cautious about the other gods, he doesn't know how strong they are but they are certainly stronger than him.

Claude finally left the mountain, he offered a quick prayer to Lucio then continued on his way.

"Thank you for protecting me" Claude shone as he mumbles a quick prayer, the light that he gave off turned into essence and went to Lucio's Body.

DING! The moment it was absorbed to his body, a ding sounded and the system showed him that he completed his quest.

[[Side Quest Complete.]]

[[Reward: 100 essence]]

[[Essence:226/1550]] + 100 + 100

[[Essence:426/1550]]

".....I completed the quest even though I just observed him and didn't even lift a finger to help him."
