Chapter 1232 - Consuming I (1/2)
'F.u.c.k!' I couldn't help but curse when I saw the bastard of the Monster looked at me with its death stare, and the next moment, it disappeared from its spot.
Seeing that, I started to run; there is thick energy coursing through my body, I power up the speed runes of the old set with booting power to increase my speed once more, but it did not seem to be enough.
”GROWL!”
The Copper Armored Ape and growled it loudly as it appeared behind me and punched. Its punch has even more raw physical power than earlier and coming toward me as it tore through the air.
'I can't let myself hit by that punch!' I thought, the ape likely to be one of the oldest monsters here, and seeing how he is sitting right next to central root and refining its body with most pure Cosmic Energy, I am no match against its punch.
My Armor won't be able to refine all that raw physical energy, and if it entered my body, I would pop up like a balloon, so I should dodge the attack, but it easier said than done seeing the speed of the punch.
As the punch comes at me, I started to move sideways, but to my horror, I found that its punch is following me perfectly but seeing no choice, I gritted my teeth and put more power into a couple of formations.
ZUP!
Suddenly I moved sharply; the turn was so fast that, punch that was about to hit my back missed by a couple of inches. Still, I could feel sharp wind by my shoulder, and seeing its intensity, I know I had dodged a death sentence.
I dodged the attack, but it had cost me a couple of bones; taking such a sharp turn has brought pressure to a couple of my body parts. Though most of the pressure bore by my inheritance, some of them were still left to my body, which had craked many bones.
”GROWL!”
I was enjoying the dodge when the loud growl of the Monster had brought me back to reality and saw another punch coming. Seeing that, I ran like hell and dodged the sharp way when the punch is about to hit me.
It had been less than five seconds since the Monster attacked, but I had already crossed a quarter of the distance earlier; we needed more than six hours to cross this much distance, but with boost, I had crossed it a couple of seconds.
I could feel the eyes of the hundreds of monsters, if not thousands but not single dare to take a step toward me seeing the big boss is chasing me, which is a good thing; I don't want to be chased by the thousands of monsters, seeing all of them are pretty strong.
I have read all the intel and knew that I have to survive until I reached the verdant range.
From what had been observed by the past seniors, monsters of the crown tree don't chase anyone outside of the verdant range, and seeing the speed I am running, it will not take me even a minute to reach the verdant range and get out of its boundary.
But to do that, I have to survive this bastard whose punches are becoming stronger and faster; it is becoming quite difficult to dodge them, but I am still dodging them, as getting hit by even a single one means death.
”GROWL!”
Soon we get out of the shadow of the Crown Treen and move to the verdant forest, and, seeing it being unable to kill me, its growled loudly in its rage, and crystal its forehead started to shine brightly.
As it shone brightly, I started to feel suppressing feeling coming over me, and it is increasing strongly at every moment. This suppression is not physical but mental, and unskilled soul attack.
