Little hero

" Roar!"

" Shit! It's the devil bear!"

This Devil bear is the controller of the territory around here. The reason for the Horned Rabbits setting up their nests here is that they're not on the menu for a devil bear and were able to get its protection.

" We need to run!"

" No, we won't be able to escape. We can't expose our backs; we will die faster!"

William said with caution since the only information they had on this apex predator was from the guild.

Trinity, who was on the side, had a blast of realization.

" Wait, let me see if my new ability works on it."

After saying that, she looks at the eyes of the Devil Bear. Waiting to see if her ability could persuade it to let them go.

After looking directly into the Devil Bear's eyes, first, it was stun and quickly had an emotional change.

" Hello Mr. Bear, How about you let me and my friends go this one time."

* Ding! The passive ability of Charming Smile has increased the Devil Bear's thought of your fleshes deliciousness.*

" It didn't work."

Knowing that their chances were slim, they got out of the bush they were hiding in and came face to face with the Devil bear.

" Roar!"

Seeing them challenge his authority, it roared before launching a claw attack at William.

' Let's give this a try.'

Prepared for the attack, he ducked under the claw, rushing towards the giant Devil Bear with no hesitation.

' Noble Theft activate!'

Just as he activated his talent and heard the notification, a deadly claw fell from above the sky, squashing him to death.

* Ding! Player William has died from level 15 Devil Bear.*

" Level 15! F**k this, there's no way I'm fighting this thing!"

Looking towards each other, both Trinity and Jessica agreed to run away as fast as possible. Both immediately turned around and ran through the escape path that they planned earlier.

For some reason, the bear didn't immediately chase after them, supposedly shocked at how its prey turned into white specks.

But this didn't distract the bear for long as it chased after its escaping prey.

In a forgotten corner of the forest, a white shadow followed the group.

Running through the forest, Trinity was trying her best to catch up to Jessica. Who was moving through the wilderness like it was her backyard.

"Damn Jessica, my dexterity is at 10, yet I can't catch up to you at all."

Jessica, who was getting a wider lead, turned her head and gave a cheeky smile before saying: "Get faster than!"

Trinity knew that even if her dexterity was higher, she probably wouldn't be able to catch up to her. Just a mere increase of stats is not able to make such a large difference in speed.

' This is probably related to her talent.'

"let's split up, so only one of us gets killed instead of both!"

Hearing Jessica's suggestion Trinity, knew that the person that's was going to sacrificed was herself; but what choice did she have.

She didn't want to lose their first mission either; at least one person had to survive.

" Fine!"

After shouting her answer, they heard the deep thuds of the Devil Bear quickly approaching them.

" I go left. You go right!"

Trinity taking the left route, heard the thuds from the Devil bear continue to chase after her ignoring Jessica.

" Come on, why did you choose me without hesitation!"

Though she knew that it was going to chose her, the thought of it not even considering Jessica for a split second made her feel down.

The Devil bear soon appeared in sight. Luckily for Trinity, she was able to see a cave that would allow her to escape the pursuit of the Devil Bear.

Suddenly the Devil bear stood up on its two feet before stomping, which causes the ground to shake, throwing Trinity off balance.

* Ding! Devil bear launched the skill Ground Stomp throwing off your balance.*

"Oh F**k!"

The Devil Bear slowly approaches its delicious prey as its mouth watered. Once it got close to Trinity, it opened its mouth, ready to take a bit.

Suddenly it felt a lightweight land on its head and its vision turn black.

"Roar!"

" Weird Rabbit!"

The white rabbit that Trinity interacted with back at the cave jumped on top of the Devil Bear and blocking its vision.

Knowing this was her only chance, she stood up, running towards the cavern but hesitated on whether to rescue the rabbit that saved her.

The Devil Bear, on the other hand, was panicking at the sudden ambush going wild to try to shake off whatever's on its head.

Hanging on for its dear life, the small rabbit looked at Trinity, smiling at her as if trying to put on a brave appearance.

Knowing the difficulties that the rabbit was going through she no longer hesitated turning around to run away.

" Mr. Rabbit, once I'm strong, I'll come back to avenge you!"

The Devil Bear calming down after finding that the rabbit wasn't threatening grabbed the rabbit and threw it.

Seeing the rabbit coming towards her, she picked up her pace and stretched her arms to catch the rabbit.

Feeling the soft fur from the strange rabbit she quickly dived into the cave entrance.

* THUD*

Hearing the noises coming from the Devil Bear crashing into the small cavern, the small amount of dust on the ceiling fell. Giving Trinity a feeling that the cavern might cave in, killing both her and the rabbit.

Luckily for her and the rabbit, after smashing into the cave a few times, the Devil Bear realized that it wouldn't be able to reach them and left after roaring at missing its lunch.

Sighing in relief, she looks at the small rabbit resting in her hands, making a satisfied face.

" Thanks for your heroic action Mr. Rabbit."

" I was able to survive today. That means that I owe you a favor, so do you have a wish."
