Chapter 113: An insane marathon and ominous aura... (2/2)
Yman froze and gulped when he glanced at the back. He saw 5 giant lizard-like beasts rapidly stomping their massive limbs and hastily coming towards his direction. No, it was chasing someone!
”Heeeeeelp! Aaaaaaaaaahhhh!” She cried.
His jaw dropped on the ground. ”The heck that girl again!” He screamed, then hastily ran towards the border. He saw the recent naked fire wolf girl. Now she is in her red dress and chest plate.
However, looking at the gaping monsters behind her, with their fangs as big as her, Yman couldn't help but run as well.
”What the heck! How did this girl attract those monsters!? Wait, where those monsters came from?! Yman asked to himself without getting an answer.
”Waiiiiit! Hey! You!” She shouted while running as fast as she could while calling at that person she was tailing for the whole time. Nonetheless, these monsters suddenly showed up.
”The heck! Don't come here, I will kill you for sure!”
He shouted, but suddenly turned grim when he noticed that ahead of him was a flat plain. There was no place for him to hide and the distance of the boundary was about a few kilometers away from them.
”I should have killed her awhile ago!” Yman screamed while sprinting towards the boundary. Behind him, he heard her shouts but he disregarded it and focused solely on surviving.
Yman grabbed a handful of leaves on his way and shot behind him towards the girl. Although she eventually could not satisfy their hunger, she could at least hinder them a little.
Seeing the familiar objects shot towards her, she wanted to cry, ”Ruuuude! Insensitive! Heartless!!” She cried out then used her [Lupine Flame Shield] skill.
Patapatapata!
Patapatapata!
”Aegor, someone is coming.” In the bushes, someone whispered to the person beside them.
”Okay ready yourselves! Let's attack at the same time.”
”Wait, Aegor, Taflas, are you sure we have to do this? Isn't it better to enter the boundary as soon as possible?” A girl's voice said.
”No, it will be hard for us to hunt points after we enter the first boundary,” Aegor replied.
”Aegor was right, Tiafel. The enemies we will be going to encounter inside will certainly be much stronger. They are the people who survive the first struggle so most of them are no easy opponent,” added the guy named Taflas.
”Hmm… o-okay,” Tiafel agreed. Since what Taflas said was logical.
The trio was hiding in the bushes. Unfortunately, Dudududu!
”What is that sound?!”
”Wait! The ground is trembling!”
”What?”
They peeked ahead and saw two people quarreling and were being chased by some giant —giant —-giant monsters!!!
They screamed while their faces turned blue.
Yman and Cinder's eyes turned into dots when they saw three people ahead of them, they came out from hiding. They must be thinking of ambushing some passerby just like the people he encountered recently.
Alas, their plan backfired to them, because this girl a little behind him brought bad news to all of them.
Patapatapata!
”Holy shit run for your life!” Aegor shouted while his plump stomach pumping up and down.
”Aaaaah don't look back!” Taflas said in a hurry.
With regrets on her face, ”If only I know!” Tiafel shouted.
All of them were racing towards the boundary with all their might.
After a couple of minutes running nonstop, Bang! Bang! Bang! The monsters collide at the barrier.
They all successfully reached the boundary and went through it. But all of them were exhausted and unable to speak.
Cinder and the other three people rolled on the ground. They were gasping for breath. Only Yman was a little better than the rest but even he was also having deep breaths.
It was the first time in his life to run 30 kilometers nonstop without passing out. He remembered getting passed out every day at their morning training of running 20 kilometers per day in the academy. But now, he remained standing even at a nonstop running in a distance of 30-35 kilometers. He felt successful.
The others on the other hand were lying on the ground while gasping for breath. Even that beautiful girl with wolf ears was no exception.
Cinder as an introverted person and a non-athletic type, could not even twitch a finger at the moment. She was laying on the ground while her back facing the sky and was heaving deeply.
Yman wondered if this girl was still alive? She looks like she would never last in a minute.
On the contrary, all of them were staring at him with disbelief. They wondered how this guy remained standing even in that insane marathon just now.
Yman grinned and slowly picked the dry branch on the ground. 'Fufu,” he chuckled under the mask. Then enveloped the dry branch with mana.
Cinder and the others felt danger. However, they were too tired to retaliate. ”B-Bastard…” she managed to force it out of her mouth.
”Hehe, since you followed me here, after letting you live last time. You must be seeking death,” he said with a glint in his eyes.
Cinder who couldn't even lift a single finger —replied, ”Do as you want…”
Aegor, Taflas, and Tiafel didn't know the history of these two, but for some reason, the situation was unfavorable for them too.
They grim when they saw him lift his hand above his head.
Regardless, Yman's intentions did not happen. Because out of a sudden, he perceived an ominous aura.
ROOOOAAAAAAARRRR!!! They heard a loud howl.
