Chapter 35 - The Beasts Of The Forest (1/2)

Wait what the f*ck? Since when were animals able to talk? Wait no,,, Those are beasts, but they aren't supposed to be able to talk? RIGHT!?

-”Hey quieten down she can probably hear us!”-

-”No I doubt it, human senses aren't as sharp as ours, remember? They can barely feel what's 2 meter's behind the-... Is she looking at us by any chance? Oh crap she started running.”-

-” This is why I said quieten down you idiot”-

I started swearing in every language I knew at that moment while jumping up trees and trying to escape as fast as possible. When I looked back I saw a lion with a blue mane and black fur running besides a wolf with a white mane and yellow fur.

-”WAIT HUMAN! WE JUST WANT TO TALK WITH YOU! WE WONT HURT YOU, WE PROMIS!”-

Wont hurt me my ass. Why the f*ck would I trust some random beasts? They are intelligent so the best course of action is to run away since I don't think I can fight them head on. A few sniper spells should slow them down though.

I turned around while being mid air and shot a concentrated air snipe toward the lion. It barley dodged by an inch before realising it had been surrounded by 5 air bullets going straight for it. The lion roared dispersing the the air bullets in a single second, yet I didn't falter and shouted ”SPLASH ZONE” slightly slower than a sniper bullet towards the lion. The moment the water got too close it was immediately stopped by a huge stone slab. When the splash zone exploded, the stone slab barley took any damage. The ground however, seemed to not be able to take the full force of the water explosion, consequently created a crater in the floor.

-”she's pretty good. She is clearly scared, maybe we should just let her go.”-

-”no way dude. I just wanna speak with her, what's so wrong about that? She could hear us from dozens of meters away when we were trying to not be loud. She has to be a beast like us! IM going to go after her!”-

CRAP! JUST LET ME BE! F*CK EVERYTHING! If I want to win I have to find an area where I would be in an advantage.

I quickly changed directions before moving at full speed towards the lake. I used a few snipes to slow down the winged black and blue winged lion and stop it from closing the distance. It sounded like a male and had huge canines coming from the sized of his mouth which made him look ferocious while his blue veined black feathery wings made him look gracious at the same time.

F*CK IT!

I conjured 3 blue flame spears and shot it towards the winged lion at full speed. I moved in the other direction to get as far away from the blast as I could. Since the wolf isn't there anymore i didn't have to make more than three spears. I braced myself for the shockwave that never came. As i looked back, to my horror the lion had taken control of my own spell by dispelling the mana inside it and replacing it with his own. He then dispersed the fires before flying after me again.

F*Ck ME THREE WAY! HOW AM I SO STUPID?! No one in their right mind would attack someone who had an affinity to fire with a fire spell. Why did it disperse it though? maybe he does want to talk, yet I'm still not willing to risk it! The way his running after me makes me feel like a prey. Plus, beasts eat humans right? Why would I trust someone who would eat my kind?

After a few minutes of back and forth attacking I finally got to the lake and let my plan take action. I had tried talking to him before just to receive some stupid answer like ”Stop and I'll tell you”. When I got to the lake I started to fly right over it at full speed. My leaping speed is a lot higher than my flying speed since I'm not used to flying so the lion started to catch up really quickly, just like I had planned. My grin grew larger once I had gotten to the middle of the lake where I stopped and started to use every single speck of mana within me to cast a spell.

”SO YOU FINALLY RAN OUT OF MANA?! FINALLY! I was getting so tired of chasing you I was thinking of attacking back to stop you. Anyway come he-...”

The oversized lion choked on his words when he saw my smirk and my golden eyes flickering vigorously.

”what do you want?” I asked with a mocking tone

”What species are you from? Are you a hybrid?”

”No, I'm human.”
