That punk! 2

ROAR~

Spittle flew on my helmet, while my ears buzzed from the sheer volume.

The roar from this beast was strong, making my bones ache from the bass and eardrums ring.

I wanted to laugh when the thought of the loud music back at the club rang in my ears giving me this same exact feeling but I held it in this was a life and death situation unlike back then.

Attempting to shove the huge thing off of me, I felt that even shoving it off was difficult.

The thing probably weighed a ton, with its size as big as an elephant, struggling I finally slipped from the beast to dash into the forest for spite even trailing those children, screw them I'm so mad.

But it seems I was not fast or nimble enough and I was caught and tossed aside, blood churned in my chest the need to cough it up filled me a moment but didn't rise, I felt like I damaged my insides, ah I probably did.

Rolling away I missed a claw aimed at me but the swipe of that powerful tail slapped me aside, sending me flying from its strike this time I coughed blood inside my helmet.

(warning, three broken ribs, punctured lung, and pressure around the heart. Fitness level reduced by 25%)

The system blared while I tucked and rolled, slashing with my weapon, a cry was suddenly heard and the beast was attacked from the side, I remembered that sound.

I laid there unable to move from the pain, ah I can't remember experiencing such pain like this before.

Still, I wanted the skin of this damn beast and drops of that liquid.

So struggling a bit, hearing a snap and pain I fell back,

(warning, three broken ribs, puncher lung, pressure around the heart and internal bleeding from the right kidney 35% damage)

I coughed another mouth full of blood then pushed myself up even if my body screamed and my vision wavered, I will get the skin.

Pushing forward, I gave a command, (partial restriction release from personal bands, auto-heal)

(accepted, Fitness level recovered by 10%. Vitality recovered by 10%. Bands restriction reactivated)

Slowly the mind-numbing pain faded leaving a dull ache, I felt lighter on my feet than I have ever been for a while instead of carrying a constant weight. Flexing a bit, I prepared myself to attack that damn beast again.

Stepping forward, I crouched lept and entered the fray while the Pythrot, those two-tailed beasts attacked dropping low and allowing my body to slide under the crouching Zxris I dragged the blade along the area where its major heart laid then stabbed into it rolling quickly landing in a side lunge hands on the ground to glare at the dying beast.

(restriction fully locked) my body felt heavy once again, but I had fully healed so it was OK.

Standing tall, I glared at the four Pythrot before swiftly moving forward.

When that damn baby appeared, it stood right in front of me; I paused the little guy was so damn cute; I had to pull out some meat for it as a distraction before continuing forward. The Pythrot screeched, then retreated.

Since they saved my life ill allow them to live longer.

In under an hour, I skinned the beast collected a quarter of the meat string around it, some of its teeth all of its claws the venom and left, eying the little one who still devoured the meat I had tossed to it.

"Tch," I said, turning to those children but then deciding against it, tossing the helmet since it had been damaged.

I then replaced it and climbed back into the trees silently, first heading in the opposite direction of the home before doubling back.

It's a pity unless they got rid of that boy, they will continue to be hunted.

In this life, just like my last, the main goal is the betterment of my life, friends..?

If they pulled me down, they had to be cut simple as that, if they didn't put in the amount of effort to fend for themselves I will not do the same, but if they did, I would do my uttermost to keep them safe if I ever gain any.

"Oh you are back,"

"mmm..."

"Wu Jie, when do you wish to slumber? The winter is quite long."

This was Wincu speaking, the same time Cehn appeared his violet eyes looking around before landing on me, I ignored him once acknowledging his presence.

Then I spoke, "after the first week of the winter ends I will begin to slumber. We will probably have to take turns. Today I had killed a Zxris. Also, a group of fourteen children who fled while I was fighting it are somewhere nearby. If you wish to leave be careful not to be followed,"

"That does raise a slight alarm how could those beasts be able to survive the migration?" 

Cehn asked Wincu eyed him then turned her gaze to me.

"I am not aware,"

I answered simply, feeling the exhaustion from the restrictions being released, and then quickly locked.

The wounds I had received had been reduced because of my suit but the impact ah.
