Chapter 16

The creature walked slowly toward the river. I just stood still and watched it.

"Why is my body just standing still? When I blocked WellfRed and Orc fires ink didn't happen. Roxa, what's going on with my body?"

"[I've checked the data and analyzed it. However, I can't figure it out. What I can conclude here is that the creature has a terrifying aura of intimidation that can scare a person half to death. Due to your high physical strength and magic, the creature's intimidation more than half didn't work on you. So it only makes you immobilized and startled.]"

"It's more than half the intimidation aura, but it's still this strong. Even so I must try to escape or fight it."

The creature had a human-like form but was twice the size. Not only that, its arms and legs were twice as long as its body size. Its body color was a slightly pale red with no fur. It also had long, sharp claws. Its head was oval with fiery red eyes and its body was slightly bent.

I walked backwards, trying to get away from the creature. I slowly got out of the river. And tried to approach the sword that I left behind near the big tree.

As soon as I reached my sword, the creature stood in the middle of the river where I stood before. It stood there silently.

"What is that thing doing there?"

The creature opened its mouth and revealed a wide-open mouth like its jaws were unhinged. It could probably swallow an adult man in one swallow. The mouth had sharp and long teeth, and the creature's tongue stuck out at a great length.

However, there was something that just dawned on me when looking at the creature. The creature's left claw was colored by a very thick red color. And its right claw seemed to be grasping something.

Without me having time to think, the creature threw the thing it was holding in its right hand at me. The throw wasn't very strong so it stopped and fell right in front of my feet.

"Really?"

The moment it stopped near my feet. I was really surprised. The thing she was looking at was none other than a human head. The head was that of an adult man. The head was still intact and looked new, even though it was full of blood.

Even so, I was not mentally shaken. Not like the intimidating aura of that creature.

"Shh .... Shush .... Shush .... Shhh!!!" The sound of the creature's tongue swishing.

"Tis... Tis... Tis .... Tis!" Droplets of saliva and blood dripped from its mouth and fell into the river.

Before I knew it, the river water around the creature had turned a blood-red color, due to the drops of blood that fell from the creature's mouth.

I was stunned to see that. I realized it was a monster that ate humans.

"[You'd better get moving!]" Roxa, warned me.

"I know."

As I prepared to run, the creature quickly ran towards me. Without pausing, it swung its long left claw at me trying to attack me. With quick reflexes I parried the attack with my sword. My body was thrown several meters because it couldn't withstand the attack. Even so, I managed to land safely.

Without further ado I immediately set up a position to fight. However, looking around the conditions were quite difficult to fight with the place full of bushes and wood.

"This is making it hard for me!"

I couldn't help but run away and look for a place that was a little wider so I could fight.

"[Lighting Movement]"

I moved quickly to avoid the creature from its pursuit. When I looked behind the creature, it was nowhere to be seen.

"Looks like I managed to escape!!!"

"Tuuuaaaaarrrr!!!" The sound of a huge crash was heard.

"Impossible!!! Are you kidding me? How did he catch up to me?"

Without having time to feel safe from pursuit, the creature appeared from quickly from behind.

"After I used Lighting Movement, it was still able to catch up to me."

The creature ran after me very quickly. It didn't care about the surroundings, even the branches and trees it hit to chase me. It could be clearly seen from the wounds on its body.

As I focused on picking up speed to escape, I took the time to look back. However, what he saw was that the creature was already a few meters away. Without thinking, I immediately jumped to the left. And sure enough, the creature was unable to stop and crashed into some trees.

"Hah!!! Hah!!! Hah!!! Seriously, I'm even having trouble catching my breath."

The creature rose to its feet, seeing that I prepared to fight.

"Ngaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!" The creature screamed.

Its scream was deafening.

"Arghhh!!!" I held my ears.

The moment the screaming stopped, the creature was directly in front of me and its claws tried to grab my body. I quickly slashed at the creature's hand. The creature's hand was wounded and bleeding.

"Ngahhh!!!"

"Can you just shut up?"

Without stopping the attack, I stepped closer to the creature. With a few slashes I wounded its leg. Sensing that I was dangerous, the creature tried to crush me. Its hands slammed into the ground. I tried to dodge its attacks. The crashing sounds were quite loud.

When I tried to stab its right arm, it swung its right arm and hit me unexpectedly. My body was thrown quite far into the bushes.

"Kuh!!!"

My body wasn't hurt because I was wearing clothes made of monster skin. Even so, my body still felt pain from hitting the tree. The creature immediately chased after me.

"[Lighting strike]"

I launched a magic attack at the creature. But, its body wasn't hurt in the slightest by my magic. It didn't stop even though it was hit.

"This thing isn't an ordinary creature? It's immune to magic."

The creature suddenly stopped and opened its mouth, something gathering in the center of its mouth. A moment later an attack like a long laser beam shot out from the center of the creature's mouth towards my left side.

"Tubrak!!! Tubrak!!! Tubrak!!!" The sound of a tree trunk breaking.

When I looked back, the destructive power of the attack was strong enough to shatter the tree trunk far back 2 km.

"Looks like this thing is more dangerous than I thought."
