Chapter 117 - 117. Run To The Hills! (1/2)

The scream echoed in the battlefield as if a wraith had come to life making everyone that heard the scream feel as if thin needles pierced their ears.

For a few seconds the entire battlefield froze, no one spoke, no one moved, stunned by the sudden scream.

Some thought that Mack had gone insane, others that he was finally hurt, but the majority of people...

They felt fear.

Because they knew deep in their hearts, deep in their skulls, that the recent scream was not one made by a normal human, it was not a scream for help nor it was a scream of someone in their last drop of hope.

It was Inhuman, and their brain told them to run, run for their lives.

But their bodies didn't respond.

Until, someone finally screamed ”Ruuuuuuuuun!”

And they could not be more right.....

Another one from the side, came to his senses, and screamed while already running ”Ahead for the hills!” and run not caring about his friends left behind him.

They could try and leave the trial if they run to the the beach, but they still had hope, they hoped that they could avoid the rest of the battle and still pass the trial when everyone killed each other.

Someone once said that when running from a beast, they did not need to run faster than the beast itself to survive, they only needed to run faster than the person by his side.

And this could not be more true in this situation.

Because once Mack opened his eyes, and lowered his gaze to look at the horizon, he was not himself anymore.

He was a beast, cornered, full of pain, not regarding his own life anymore.

His eyes twitched and his mouth subtly creaked open and close with the noise of his teeth raging at each other as the pain made his senses sharper and the excruciating feeling radiated to his mind.
