Since Arthur couldn't buy anything right now, and going back to the inn was not needed before the logout time, he decided to do something else.
"Hmm… I have four hours left till the log out time… I might just be able to do something in this time…" Arthur muttered to himself as he looked at the clock. 'I may as well survey the Trunel Woods and assess the condition there.' He thought.
Having made the decision, Arthur left through the eastern gate.
Unlike Kestrel Village, the guard didn't stop or ask him anything just letting him pass. Though Arthur knew that upon return he would probably have to show them his identity to enter. Leaving the town didn't need anything extra but entering sure did.
After leaving the town, Arthur made his way towards the Trunel woods. The path was still good and he could travel at a decent pace. In just about ten minutes, Arthur was already standing at the entrance of the Trunel woods.
"These are certainly denser than the forest near the Kestrel village." Arthur said to himself.
It was rather dark right now, and only the moonlight peered through the treetops. But to Arthur everything looked as clear as the day.
'Dragon's Insight is such a great skill…' Arthur thought.
The passive effect of night vision basically meant he could travel without a torch and be free. He would also be able to spot different enemies faster than others.
'And considering the clarity I have, it might actually be better than a lot of other beasts.' Arthur reckoned.
But from here one, Arthur was ready for any attack. He knew that night time meant that nocturnal beasts would come out and attacks could get deadlier.
"Oh? Something's already watching me, huh…" Arthur quickly discovered a pair of eyes glaring at him from the distance.
To owner of the eyes, Arthur was unaware of it. But unfortunately for it, Arthur had already spotted it.
'Let's see what that is, shall we?' Arthur thought before using his skill. "Dragon's Insight!"

Looking at the information that was in front of Arthur he knew the beast was grossly underpowered in front of him. Normally its passive skill of Night Prowl should have given it the best advantage when combined with the Night Vision passive skill.
Just these two skills would have been enough to overwhelm the average player that might have approached the forest. Even for other beasts that naturally lived in the forest, the Long Claw Trunel Prowler would have been a dangerous predator.
But to Arthur, it was the opposite.
"Let's see how it reacts…" Arthur wanted to test something.
He held the Key Spear in his hand, while continuing to walk as if he hadn't noticed the Long Claw Trunel Prowler. With each step, he got close to the beast while it stayed still. No noise was made by the beast either, as it waited silently for its apparent prey to approach.
~rustle~
And when it was just a couple meters from Arthur, it couldn't hold back and pounced at him!
"Couldn't hold back anymore, could you?" Arthur said as he reacted faster than the beast.
He simply tilted Dietrich towards the beast, allowing the beast to pounce onto it.

"There we go…" Arthur laid the beast down on the ground before quickly harvesting its claws.
"If things keep on going like this, I might actually be able to gain a level before log out time." Arthur reckoned.
Killing the Long Claw Trunel Prowler like this was proving to be easy as they would jump at him.
