Chapter 262 The Chase IV (1/2)
My heart started to pound as I got closer to the wasteland, This wasteland will be my real test of survival.
The closer I got, the more dread I feel.
Does it not feel tired ever? I I asked myself as I saw the blade snake is following me without stopping, there is no change in its speed, it is as uninformed as it when it starts following me.
'A' grade monster that it may be but it out to feel tired slightly but no, there was no change in it ever since it started following me.
Well, its upper 'A' monster for nothing, if it was not able to do this much! it is said in this whole Minerva Realm there are not more than six 'A' grade monsters and three are known for their fearsome might, which is why they called the three banes of Minerva realm.
Times passed by and now I can clearly see wasteland ahead me, seeing that dread in my heart grown even more stronger.
I am feeling dread because that shitload of potions that I had in my storage is nearly gone, I have about ten to fifteen minutes of supply with me at most and to cross the wasteland I will need the two hours minimum.
In this thirteen hours, I am running from the blade snake, my two knight grade skills are constantly activated without stopping not to mention fire jets I use for every jump and the defensive skill I use whenever the reaper climbed the tree as a precaution
All it requires immense mana, I had to drink mana potion every few minutes, if not for me having so much mana potions with me, I don't think I would even able to survive three hours from this snake.
One not only needs the power to survive from the three banes, but they also need the resources, without resources they will not able to last long.
It was because of these resources I have, that I was able to survive till now but now my resources are running dry if I did find the other way quickly then reaper would really pierce its blade into my head and eat my brains.
Looks like I finally have to use that thing! I thought but couldn't help grimace when I thought of that option.
I really don't want to use that option, I've only used it one time before which is get away from the Master stage monster but that place was the Mista forest while this is Minerva realm.
The difference is great between these two places, In miasta forest as long as you reach a safe place or to the bunkers placed by adventurers paradise you will be safe but here there is danger at every step, the most dangerous is the boundary of region and as no one knows where one will end up after crossing the boundary.
But who am I kidding with such thought, I clearly knew that is the only option I've left as for what condition I will be in after crossing the boundary, that is the I could not burden myself with, I will think about it if I were alive to cross it.
Grinding my teeth, I took out the glass bottle from my storage. This bottle is double the size of normal potion bottle and inside it contain blood-red liquid which is shimmering slightly.
This potion is forbidden potion, after drinking it will stimulate my body to the limit and not only that It will also keep proving me a huge amount of mana.
The effect of this potion should last about one and half hour, this potion seemed to too good to true as I won't have to drink string of potions every few minutes for one and half hour but there huge side effect of drinking this potion, that is why they are known as forbidden potions.
Sale of such potions is illegal in the Westblood but I've come to know about the place which sells this potions by one lucky encounter.
The potion will stimulate my body above its limit and also provide me with unlimited mana for one and a half but when the effects of this potion are over after a one-half hour, it will weaken me so badly that I will barely able to move my fingers.
It will keep me immobilized for at least six hours and after that, I will be in a weakened state for the day but I couldn't care less about that as, without this potion, I am a dead man anyway.
”Gulp!”
I gulp down potion in a single gulp, unlike one's imagination, it does not taste bad, it tastes quite good actually similar to that of tangy syrup.
After potion entered my body, for a few seconds I did not feel anything but a few seconds later its effect spread through my body.
I felt like I've boosted with the unlimited energy and next moment, I shot out like a rocket, Its good thing I've experienced this feeling before otherwise I would have surely not have controlled myself this properly.
When I had drunk this potion first time, I nearly collapsed many times due to a sudden rush of power.
With such rush of power my speed more than a double as I shot out like rocket through trees, I started to jump over the tree which I was going to jump before, I felt exhilarating.
When I looked back, I so The Reaper is still following behind me but the between started to grow larger.
I did not turn too much happy seeing that as I knew its speed will also increase soon, in the forest its speed is restricted due dense trees but ahead is plane wasteland where it will have no restriction in following me.
”THUD!”'Zzzzzz!'
I jumped from the last tree with a thud and entered the wasteland and started to run with all my might as I could faint slithering sound not much behind me.
As I've expected, its speed increased suddenly as we got out of the forest and It now following me with frenzy in its eyes.
The distance between us also decrease and come it comes down to few meters, just slight increase in its speed could make it catch up to and that scared the hell out me, that is why used all power I have to run fast as I can.
