The Forest

'(Air, Mana) [Barrier]' I made a barrier to set as a foothold and soften my landing. Both bears looked at me and at the very moment, they both attacked me with their gigantic claws.

'[Warp]' I warped quickly to another top of a higher tree and hide my presence. That strength... It's just a claw but it destroyed that big tree behind me, if that hit me I must have died there.

They looked confused, it's the best time to escape. '[Warp]' I teleported to a place far enough for those bear to sense my presence but I can still feel them.

Either way, that surprised me. The branch I'm standing on was thick! The probability of it breaking is very low, and yet it broke unexpectedly.

"That must have been made by somebody.. But who is it?" I can't seem to know who wants me dead since i dont have any bad connections with anybody.

Is it a criminal? That's the highest possibility, criminals in a hunting ground isn't very rare. In fact they're pretty common in here. If it's a criminal then, he must have specialized in stealth because I did not detect them at my range.

Why bother anyway? I didn't even know who that is, let's just forget that. They're not relevant anyways I'll just prepare my food tonight '[Warp]'

I came back to where the bears we're fighting. The whole area is destroyed, signs of destruction were all over the place.

Ground stomped by big paws of the bear and scratches made by their claw, traces of dark energy filled the whole area and the two bears are nowhere to be seen.

"Seems like they moved place while fighting" I still need to find those bears, I can just trace the place of destruction. I'm sure they haven't gone so far on such short time.

Wait... I can feel some trace of other magic, there's a mana of a different species. Is it a human?

It is so thin that I cannot specify who this is. It must have been an expert, who am I to get grudges from an expert?

"[Sight] I'll find out soon, [Warp]" I warped into a place where the bears we're fighting, the mana surged all throughout the area and the pressure was tremendous.

It's good that I set out a distance this time or else I might be caught in the wild fight. "[Observe]" the older bear still at the same state, seems like he's even regenerating because his state is much better this time than back then.

Both the Giant bears teared up each other's skin with their humongous claw, bit each other causing one to roar very loud and trampled everything at their ground causing the whole forest to tremble.

"Such strong power" isn't it quite a exaggeration to call this a 'Saurnus' monster, causing this much destruction with two high rank monsters is pretty much called for a massacre if it happened in a city.

The Younger Bear seems to be having a struggle. He might not be ready to become a king in this forest yet, to be the king you must have unrivaled power inside the habitat to rule.

The fight is soon to end, the younger seems to have slowed down and weaken, meanwhile, the Elder seems to be getting stronger and stronger as time goes by. It seems to be a skill, it's Hella strong!

I think it will end as a death to the one of them. I'd rather get both of them but no one will rule inside, it might become a problem.

The younger soon fell down onto his face laying face on the ground, it seems unconscious... Did he not kill him?

"[Warp]" I warped closer but this time I looked around to see anything suspicious about the area. Nothing seems unnatural so I continued, "(Presence, Silence, Light) [Stealth]" I stealthily walked the way where the loser fell, he's very big! The size of his claw is already bigger than I am.

I tried to get closer slowly, as to feel if the other bear senses me. He didn't, I'll keep going. His enemy didn't kill him so I cannot get his whole body for me to consume.

I tried cutting one part of its fingers by applying mana to my blade in hands, as far as I can see it's cutting very smooth.

They can just regenerate it back, every elements have a healing factor and can do almost anything other elements can do. Not just their own specialties, so it won't be much of a problem for them.

I successfully cut the finger off, 'This will sell for quite a lot' little did I know that I got distracted and the other bear distinctively felt me. My presence was revealed just because of a small distraction, I am very much disappointed.

I released a void talisman and placed it on the cut off finger, the finger disappeared and the talisman fell like a paper falling from heights, the difference is the direction it fell was through me.

After receiving the talisman— whoa the bear was fast. I deployed a triple stacked barrier using my magic brush(so the barrier looks like a bunch of written text). Only for the bear to destroy it after several claws.

I'll have to get out, "[Warp]! I'm not here to fight. It's better like this" I teleported several kilometers away form the angry bear only for me to see it running towards me with such berserk. The destruction caused by its wrathful run we're nothing but scary.

The trees that are in the way of the mad bear we're like small grass. In it's every step trampled the trees and the second time that the forest are shaking.

I continually warped looking for a way outside of the forest but it looks like I'm trapped in here. I forgot that this bear is a Dark bear. I got caught in its spell!

I might just dispel it and get out of here. "[Stealth]" you trapped me here not knowing that I can easily get out, a smirk came out of my face.

"(Spatial, Darkness, Light) [Dispel]" Gigantic spell circles engulfed me. This is not what the spell is supposed to be!

Suddenly, I see a person in a thick leather hood. I tried holding my hand up in case of this person helping me but I felt like he was smiling, not out of joy but something else.

My hands are shaking and my sight is falling, my head feels light, I felt like vomiting and I threw up while on the ground. "Fallen have you?" the last word I heard before my consciousness dropped
