Chapter 36 - Fleeing
AWROOOOOO.....
A long howl of grief and unwillingness rocked the whole forest. Then, an awkward moment of silence that seemed to last forever pervaded.
but, what followed was something more terrifying…
ROAAAAR
An angry cry that caused the residents of the forest tremble in fear.
\'Ah, these really aren\'t my lucky days?\'
Out of nowhere, I was attacked by a small horde of beasts and had to go all-out to take them out. after that, Just when I was only two hours away from exiting the forest…..
The battle had ended!
And the winner was expectedly the Thunder lion.
However, as the winner of the battle between the peak life forms of the forest…
It was angry?!
My questions no no longer needed answers, because at this moment I saw it.
The murderous gaze of a predator eyeing its prey, transmitted through kms of distances.
I was truly the target of the \'Corrupted\' beasts…..
Why so? I did have assumptions but they wouldn\'t be of help here…..
I didn\'t even have the time nor the ability to consider a solution like I did with the lightning beasts, I could only accelerate forward and run for my life. The pressure brought upon me just by receiving its gaze only had one meaning, I was no match for this beast.
My chances of living would be already 0, if I was still in the central forest.
The only way I could survive would be by running. Although it was injured through the battle that lasted for more than two days, it still didn\'t mean anything for me.
I could never live through a fight against it in my current state. even it had double or even triple this injuries.
After all, the Azure wolf still lost its battle against it, so how do you think I would fare?
>>>>
However, 10 minutes later….
Even running wasn\'t a choice, this freak of a monster was right in front of me.
The pressure that oozed from its body almost forced me to kneel…
Was that it? Was this the end? Was this dream come true fantasy short-lived?
A huge paw full of monstrous claws appeared right beside my face, so I dodged to the back.
Or that was what I thought I did….
A wave of pain, unlike any pain I had felt before assaulted my nerves, as I crashed into a huge rock.
\'Argh…\'
I could hear the sound of my ribs breaking, as I writhed in pain.
The Thunder Lion was truly too overpowered, I was simply closer to a bug that needed to be crushed rather than a prey to be hunted.
Tactics and smarts that made me survive my last near death encounter seemed like wasted effort at this particular moment.
In front of absolute strength, all of my means meant merely nothing but rubbish.
\'Is this truly how it all ends ….?\'
Just then.
