Chapter 126 - 126: The Druid Wolves. (1/2)

The sound of chirping and screeching resounded across the vast jungle, removing the silence from within.

The countless tall trees and branches around covered the moonlight leaving them in complete darkness.

Gray's eyes glowed yellow in the dark, he could see clearly despite the darkness thanks to the night vision trait he had gotten from evolving.

Delta also didn't seem to have any trouble seeing as whenever he'd glance back, he'd always see her following behind.

She was an odd person in his eyes, she barely expressed herself yet he constantly felt a fierce aura being emitted from her.

they hadn't exchanged any words at all since they were on the platform.

This was good for Gray since he actually focus on organising his thoughts.

Or at least that's what he initially thought.

With all the quiet and darkness around him, Gray couldn't help but recall the time he spent growing up.

Whenever he was home alone doing the chores, it would always be either this quiet or dark.

Gray had forgotten this feeling because ever since they had joined him, things were always lively and filled with noise, even in the apocalypse.

Especially Lita, she was always so full of energy.

*Stab*

Gray was forced out of his thoughts as something suddenly bit into his leg.

He reflexively glanced down to the source and the instant he did - he paused it as fast as he could.

[Pause!]

The figure of said thing with its fangs impaled into his leg had halted right then and there.

He felt chills go down his spine as he stared at it.

It's mouth open wide as it was stuck onto his leg.

It was a Black Cobra with a red gem on it's back.

It was small, the size of his arm, but just the sheer deadly vibes he got from it.

'SHIT!' Gray cursed inside of his mind. 'System, was I able to pause it before it could inject the poison?!' Gray asked.

[You were a tenth of a second too late - Pause the bottom half of your leg, within the next second second.]

[Pause!]

'Open the shop, buy a health potion or antidote which can help.'

[Confirmed.]

[Would you like to buy a restoration elixir?]

[It will cost 500 coins.]

[Balance: 800 coins.]

'Just buy it!' He shouted inwardly.

Not realising what had happened, Delta's pupils dilated as she watched a mysterious bottle with strange alluring golden patterns running through them manifest ahead of Gray with a golden glow.

He chugged the bottle down in seconds only to crouch down and pull something out of his legs.

When she saw what it was, she instantly out her blade ready to strike it down.

Gray beat her to it however, in a single swing, he cut it's head off.

”Was that a black cobra?”

”Yeah, but I-”

Gray was interrupted as she suddenly stepped in to check on him.

”Did it bite you?!” She asked with a troubled look as she began inspecting him.

”Nope, I'm fine... And stop with the inspection.” He said as he placed his hand on her shoulder to stop her.

He looked around and notice glowing red eyes approaching them from every direction.

”We have bigger things to worry about right now...” He muttered as he rose his guard.

In the middle of the New York City, USA, Planet Earth.

The young black-haired man with purple eyes watched as the fleets vanished away into the portals.

With an amused expression, he watched as he stared at the object levitating over his hands.

”So this is what you get after completing a Labyrinth... I wanted to use it against the King but it looks like someone beat me to it.” He muttered.

He let out a sigh before looking up at the starry sky.

”Gray, huh... Maybe I should set-up a pleasant welcome for you when you come back. If you can survive in another world that is...” He added.

After saying such, the person's figure vanished into thin air.

*Swoosh* *Wham!*

Gray's swayed left and right, allowing him to barely avoid the two figures which lunged at him.

As the figure blew by, it's body was slit in half, causing it's wooden organs to spill out and seep into the ground.

[You have slain a Druid Wolf.]

A druid wolf was a spiritual wolf made of wood, they were known to be neutral, unless you'd step into their territory.

[You have gained 10 XP]

[XP required to level up: 640/1000]

The other wolf which had gone past, leapt into the tree behind him.
