Chapter 27: Chapter 26: Accidental Gains! (Please Follow)

“`

For three full days, the members of the Fischer family had not been able to find any trace of the mysterious creature, and the guards were feeling weary, yet due to Lucius’s authority, no one dared to voice their desire to return.

Lucius also knew not to expect too much in terms of the guards’ obedience and couldn’t help but question the reliability of the information.

In theory, Grandma Narda wouldn’t betray them, but some information might be considered true by the informant, yet could still be a false report in reality.

Just then, Byrne’s expression changed slightly, and in a respectful tone he said, “I sense Its will… Father, it’s over there.”

After speaking, he extended his finger and pointed in the direction of a jungle.

Lucius quickly understood that what his son referred to must be a hint from the Lord of the Lost and nodded immediately.

“Alright, everyone heighten your alertness!”

The people of the Fischer family walked in that direction for another thirty minutes, but still found nothing.

Suddenly, Lucius was shocked to find that the speed of the surrounding guards had slowed down, a slowness that was starkly apparent, including Byrne, everyone moved at a near standstill pace.

He immediately realized that the Extraordinary trait “Quickdraw” had been activated!

A second’s duration slowed down to twenty or thirty excruciating seconds, Lucius slowly moved his hand, attempting to draw his sword, all the while keenly observing his surroundings and soon pinpointing the source of hostility.

A bear with white fur was hidden within the dense jungle dozens of meters away, its limbs as sturdy and powerful as steel, and its eyes carried a ferocious and murderous intent akin to that found in human eyes.

It was very cautious and extremely careful, and if not for his own Extraordinary trait, it would have been very difficult to discover the presence of this bear.

There were too many mysterious creatures in the world, and Lucius had no idea what kind of magic beast it was, but he could feel that its strength was formidable.

It seemed to possess strength close to that of a low-level Transmutation, and with his own power, it would be impossible to be its opponent in a one-on-one fight!

The gaze shifted!

In the brief moment of staring, Lucius suddenly noticed the Moonshadow White Bear’s gaze shift and collide with his own! A confrontation!

It realized it had been spotted!

Although his reaction speed increased by tens of times, his body still moved at normal speed, Lucius used all the strength in his body to draw his sword, yelling, “Dodge!”

At the same moment, the bear’s massive body moved slightly, crouching down, its limbs touching the ground as it began to run, then, it charged towards the people of the Fischer family at a speed that was only slightly slower than a normal person’s, “slowly” coming at them.

Lucius felt his scalp tingle, utterly horrified!

Could it be that this speed, theoretically slowed down tens of times, was the creature’s actual sprinting pace?

In the final slow moments, he dodged to the side, while a few guards behind him looked around nonchalantly before turning their heads vaguely in his direction.

Those guards had no time to evade, fortunately, Byrne wasn’t on its path!

If, if Byrne had been right behind him, what would he have done?

The thought suddenly occurred to Lucius, and the next moment he felt ashamed of the ignoble doubt that had sprung from deep within him – as a father, he should never have such disgraceful hesitations.

The second of slow motion brought by “Quickdraw” finally came to an end.

“Move quickly!”

“Arr!”

Lucius yelled fiercely, drawing his sword and dodging to the side, only to see a terrifying sight!

Three guards who had been right behind him screamed as they were knocked into the air, after rising several dozen meters, their bodies fell to the ground like noodles, twisting, contorting, and even shattering in a horribly casual manner.

“Moonshadow Demon Bear!”

Byrne only saw a white blur charging at them, and after finally getting a clear look, he shouted out in shock and anger.

His swordsmanship was already quite good, and he retreated immediately, then decisively pulled out an alchemical flintlock and aimed at the white bear to shoot.

“Bang!”

Lucius was surprised to find that the bullet had hit the Moonshadow Bear squarely in the abdomen, the bear with blindingly fast speed had not dodged it!

That’s it!

It must have used some “Extraordinary trait” or perhaps only “straight-line charge” to attain the speed it did just now!

Under normal circumstances, the creature’s movement speed would definitely not be so exaggerated.

“Arr!”
