Chapter 91 The Great Hunt 12 (2/2)

With a low noise the hook was sent flying in the air.

*Thud*

Once the hook was stuck on the branch, John started ascend.

Nuru curiously stared at the ascending John. She never saw such strange tool capable and lifting a people this high in the air.

As soon as John reached the branch, he made himself comfortable and leaned by the tree trunk.

John glanced at beneath him to see what Nuru was going to do.

One simple look and John couldn't help but stare.

Nuru was able to swiftly climb up the tree by piercing in the tree trunk with her sharp nails.

John's lips twitched. She was able to climb even faster than him using the grappling hook.

In no time, Nuru had already found herself a comfortable spot on a tree opposite from the tree that John was resting.

John lowered his guard and closed his eyes. He knew that Nuru wasn't dangerous for him at the moment.

Why would she kill him now, after she bothered to save him in the first place?

With those thoughts in his mind, John easily fell asleep.

...

Once John opened his eyes he realized he wasn't on the swamp but rather in a strange and grandiose palace.

The whole building was white and completely spotless.

[Another strange dream?] John thought to himself. [Why am I having so many strange dreams, one after the other recently?]

John tried to look at himself, but he soon found out that his body was completely translucent.

Without other choice, John decided to move forward in those long and huge hallways.

He soon spotted a door at the right side of the hallway, he was about to open it when heard footsteps coming from behind him.

He turned around and saw a tall, person with gray skin, red eyes, and pointy ears.

”Ancient...” John mumbled as he recognized the race the person belonged to.

The Ancient in special had a long, silky black hair. He doesn't looked old, but John was uncertain of how old he was since he didn't know to identify the age of Ancients.

He was wearing some kind of full metal armor that looked like a mixture of medieval and modern armory.

The person went through John like he didn't exist at all and opened the door.

John followed along the Ancient and entered in the room.

The room was empty. There was no one inside. It clearly was a bedroom of sorts.

”Fuck those bastards...” The Ancient was fuming with rage as he flipped out a table that was on the corner of the room. His face was contorted with anger. ”How dare they say that I'm not as good as my brother!!!”
