Chapter 3

'Ok well time to track down that little brat' I thought to myself while trying to figure out how the detection skill works 'Well i wont know unless i try'

"Detection"

[Skill] Detection lvl 1 Activated

"WOAAHHHH" I couldn't help but say in amazement as I look around and try to find tracks of Alexia it felt rather similar to what i felt before but so much clear as before I could see the smells but could tell them apart I could hear things far away but didn't know what direction my senses increased but I didn't know how to use them(Authors note: Kinda like if you gave a 4 year old a phone he wouldn't know how to use it)

The world around me felt much more clear 'before I get to distracted I have to find Alexias track' I look around and I see some footprints that I couldn't see before 'so that's where she went' I think to myself as I start following the trail springily though they don't lead that far

After about a 10 minute run I finally see the tracks start to slow down as I start to look around I cant see anything the tracks suddenly stop at some sorta big tree in the middle of a open field but when I start trying to figure out what happened I start to hear strange sounds like some fan starting up as I look towards the sound I see that a part of the tree is breaking off

I started to get more and more curious what was happening then the piece started to break off and formed a humanoid looking giant that had red eyes but looked like it was an old tree that grew legs then all of a sudden I hear it say

"INTRUDER ALERT ACTIVATING DEFENSIVE PROTOCOLS" it said in a robotic tone almost like it was a machine, it then slowly started to charge up what looked like a cannon in the middle of its hand, it was slowly absorbing all the air in its surroundings and then a ball the size of a tennis ball was formed it then slowly aimed towards me and then shoot

*BOOM*

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" As i look back to the creature it starts charging up another one 'Shit I this things bad news' I think i then quickly run behind the tree line looking for some cover then i start to hear another one coming towards me

*BOOM*

It flew right pass my head and hit a tree next to me i quickly jump up on to a tree and start checking it and say in my head

'What the hell!?' why cant I see anything other than its agility and some of its skills 'I'm starting to regret not checking this things status earlier if I knew it was such a monster I would've never fought it

'Damn from now on I'm going to use appraisal on everything I run into from now on' I say to myself as I start looking for a weakness 'Hmmm the only thing that I'm better in is agility' as I was thinking this to myself I feel the air fly towards the thing again

"Dammit why cant I just think to myself for one second" I get ready to dodge then I once again dodge it by a sliver of a second 'I cant keep dodging these things forever' I then start to look over my shoulder watching it closely trying to find anything

Once I realized that I couldn't find a weakness I try to circle around it seeing if I could ambush it or not but the instant I thought I managed to get behind it

*BOOM*

"AHHHH" I scream in pain before looking to my left and seeing my shoulder basically gone 'Damn this thing saw me that entire time?!' I try to hold on to my shoulder to slow the bleeding but I start to think of something and decided to see if I could confuse its skill with my stealth

[Skill] Stealth lvl 1 Activated, You will now be twice as quite and have a faint amount of presence erased

'Lets see if that those anything' I then start to circle around it once again constantly checking if its watching me it looked confused once I activated my ability but never the less it still watched me through the trees 'I wonder why it looked confused for a second it clearly can still see me' I kept trying to think why it looked confused at first then it hit me

Maybe because only some of my body heat was hidden if that's the case then cant i try to confuse it with something else? As I thought this I slowly surveyed my surroundings trying to find a creature or some animal I can use then I hear a little shake in some shrubs and rush towards the creature what I found surprised me a bit it was a creature I've never seen before 'Well I haven't seen a lot of creatures since I woke up Eh who cares' its was a small skinny looking green person with noting but a piece of cloth around its waist and it had a foul stench to it 'Well I guess this will do'

The instant the creature saw me it started to run as fast as it could but I easily caught up with it and I reached my hand out to grab it but it passed out 'Oh well it still produces body heat so I can still use it' I then start to run back to where that giant was and once I catch sight of it, It also instantly locks on to me almost like it knew where I was no matter where I went 'Creepy' I thought to myself as I grabbed the goblin by the back of its neck and start dragging it along with me as I run I then quickly drop it behind a tree and run towards the direction I came from I then start to go to the place where I think the back side of the giant golem creature is

Once I arrive I can only get a quick glimpse of the back side of it and I see a massive round green and brown orb in the middle of its back but the instant i catch a glimpse of it the golem shoots its weapon at me and i barely had time to respond as i quickly attempt a dodge as it barely scratches my right arm

"How do this guy see me every time" I start to think that maybe he has some sorta skill that i cant see that allows him to see me 'hah well I know his secret so it doesn't matter if he can see me or not' in actuality the golem its a lot like a tree where the outside is harder than rock but the inside or the backside in this case is a lot more soft and easier to damage

'The real question is how am i going to get behind him if he sees me every time' As i kept thinking this the only thing that came to mind is what i did to the red wolf confuse its senses but how unless i have a bunch of creatures to use its impossible

Unless I completely lower my body heat 'The river of course!' i quickly start running to the river and once i reach there i jump in i stay in it till i feel my body lowering in temperature and quickly get out and try to go back since its already night i dont think that the water will go away

Once i get back i activate stealth and quickly reach the big tree that the golems guarding i look over and see that its still standing there with its back turn i start thinking that the time to strike is now and i quickly prepare making sure he cant sense me till the final second i slowly walk towards to it and as i was about to strike i hear a door open and hear a familiar voice

"Guar what are you doing? I thought I said to wait till I wake up to move" Says Alexia the golem then looks and says "Sorry master but their is a intruder I humbly ask you to get back" as I was watching in disbelief i had my mouth wide open which may have intimidated any normal person however when Alexia saw him she said "Ohh mister scary man your here i was just about to go look for you" said Alexia the Golem however instantly blocked her from going closer and said "Master that is the intruder" "thats no intruder silly" Alexia said as she went to go close to me once the golem saw i didnt attack and let the little girl hug my legs he let down his guard still in shock of this whole situation i was speechless completely unaware what just happend i turn to Alexia and say "WHY DIDNT YOU STAY PUT"
