4 Mission Accomplished. (2/2)

[Skill [Wind Burst] activated. Mana used:2. Remaining Mana: 2]

The system wasn't generous enough to worry about his pain. On the other hand, he was caught off guard. He was dazed and confused, but the order still came and his body moved.

He could not see in the instant smokescreen, but only when he rolled, he understood that he had just rolled under the leg of a Vampire deer. If it wasn't shocking enough, then...

[Use [Wind Scythe] on the tree on your left]

Aiden could see a willow-like tree on his left and reach it in three steps. 'I don't have enough of the mana. [Wind Scythe] needs 3 mana.' The system did not respond, and the tree was two steps away.

'I'm going to lose consciousness from mana exhaustion.' Aiden pleaded, but PADS was silent. It was just a step away now.

'Fu*k, man. Just shock me if I lose consciousness.' Aiden wasn't sure that the shock would wake him up from the unconsciousness caused by mana exhaustion, but he greeted his teeth and activated it. A wind scythe extended from his left hand as he slashed the tree with all he had.

[Skill [Wind Scythe] activated. Mana used:3. Remaining Mana: 1]

'Huh! What happened? 'Aiden wasn't sure, but he still had 1 out of 2 left after spending 3 mana. 'It's illogical.' And the logic wasn't what the system was offering.

[Duck and roll twice]

He ducked and he felt that something had missed him by an inch. It didn't end up there. The storm continued above him, and every time the branches touched him, they left a red mark.

Aiden stood up after two rolls and began to run again. Only then did Aiden understand the result of his action. The willow-like tree continued to swing its branches, attacking everything that had entered its field of action.

Although it couldn't move like the tree Aiden had seen before, it was effective enough to stop Aiden's pursuer. Aiden was curious about something else right now.

'Can this be mana liquid? But it's never been powerful enough to restore mana. Could it be that the liquid accelerated the recovery of mana because it was the earth?'

[Skill Check: [Reduce Drag]. Time remaining: 1:28]

[Skill Check: [Wind Skin]. Time remaining: 1:29]

[Skill Check: [Wind Skin]. Deactivate in: 1:27]

'Deactivate it, huh? It's not like I could just use [Wind Skin] with 1 mana.' Aiden couldn't help but sigh to think about it. Without [Wind Skin], he wouldn't have escaped with just a bloody line on the back. 'How long will it take until we reach the destination?'

[Estimated time: 1:45]

'Okay. I can do that.' Aiden could see the green dot blinking within 500 meters of him, yet he felt confused.

The red dots on his back were continually gaining on him, but what was surprising was that there was not a single red dot between him and the green dot.

'I thought the beast was controlled by something clever, but this is... Could there be something stronger there? Or is that a trap?'

Aiden had no idea what was going on here, all he could do was believe in the action of the system. Soon, in his view, the timer turned 0 and deactivated [Wind Skin].

[Skill [Reduce Drag] activated. Mana used:1/14 mins. Remaining Mana: 0]

Dizziness overcame his mind. At the same time, an electric shot buzzed around his neck. Aiden could no longer control his weak body and slumped.

The dark sky was staring at his face, the rumbling on the ground was increasing, yet he could not move.

'I have to move.' He yelled in his mind, 'I have to kill him. Please move.' His right hand was just as heavy as lead. His thigh was throbbing like crazy. However, no matter how much tears his eyes had leaked, his body was not listening to him at all.

And the system came to his rescue.

[Hormone level reached the threshold value. Time to break down: 0:54]

His body began to sweat like crazy. His heart was like pumping blood like there's no tomorrow.

[Hormone level reached the threshold value. Time to break down: 0:53]

His lungs were pumping air like gigantic bellows. His body had grown lighter now.

[Hormone level reached the threshold value. Time to break down: 0:52]

His hand was no longer painful as he jumped to his feet. Blood was leaking out of his nose, but he didn't know about it. He ran as if there was no tomorrow.

The tide of the beast was less than 20 meters away from him, yet he felt no fear. He ran in the direction to which he was directed.

[Link established.]

[Identifying the owner: Second officer Levi.]

[Condition: Critical]

[Cure: Inject a dose of Ck30]

The system had no idea whether Aiden was listening to it or not. It was only when the shuttle appeared in Aiden's view that he responded again.

A few bodies of badgers have been mutilated by the earthen spike. The body of the unknown beast was crushed under a giant rock. And a four-legged beast with multiple snakeheads was struggling to get out of the quicksand.

'Did Levi kill them? 'The scene was shocking enough for Kinoya to break the trance. But Levi was more frightening than that.

He stood there like a statue. His left face was black, charred. That was the smallest wound, though. Something had a part of his stomach, the intestines were spilt in front of him. And his right hand was like a thin, dried stick. The black line was spread over his chest from the shoulder.

[Opening shuttle.]

[Distance: 32 meters]

'What the hell has happened to him? He could kill these beasts, and yet he was reduced to such a state.' Around this time, he realized that the warm blood that ran out of his nose was coming into his mouth.

'Just a little more,' he asked his body again. Although the timer showed 0:39, he knew very well that it wasn't going to last that long. He just moved to avoid the reach of one of the snakeheads and grabbed Levi.

'Have I used too much strength? 'Aiden wasn't sure, but the left side of his face and his right hand crumbled as soon as Aiden touched. Some unknown part of the body leaked out of Levi's wound, but he couldn't spare a glance at it.

[Hormone level reached the threshold value. Time to break down: 0:24]

The notification arose as soon as he entered the shuttle. 'Close the shuttle. Charge the multi-directional taser.'

He put Levi down. Aiden wasn't sure if Levi was alive or not, but he was looking for the medicine and it was a success. He had found multiple vials of Ck30 and many anti-poisoning potions.

[Taser charged to maximum.]

'Fire it as soon as they get close.' He poured the anti-poisoning potion down his throat. And he injected a Ck30 on his thigh, and another on Levi's.

”Bell. Monster. Kill me.” Levi yelled, startling Aiden.

”What?” Even before he could understand what Levi was talking about, he had already fallen unconscious.

He wanted to check whether he was alive or not, but Aiden began to cough. He was coughing up blood.

Blood flowed out of his nose and mouth. He didn't know how to stop them as weakness washed over his body. He lost consciousness, as the cold, unhurried voice spoke.

[Mission Accomplished.]
