East Meet West

240- No time to Sigh

When Orochi was running towards the wall, he saw that this particular guard had special status and was the one who started passing orders.

And he was the one commanding to shoot arrows at him and throw objects at him.

Although, it was some trouble for him but, he still hated that trouble.

So, when he aimed the two spears, he made sure to aim them near the leading guard’s location.

Although, there was a little miscalculation in the process, but he still was able to land nearby.

So, after he created some chaos in the group of guards, he locked onto the Leading guard.

And without wasting any time, he dashed towards the Leading guard to capture him.

The leading guard was standing only a dozen meters away from him.

So, within just a second, Orochi got closer to the leading guard.

But the Leading guard is also sharp enough. When he saw Orochi’s eyes falling on him, all the hairs on stood up as if he was starred by a terrifying beast.

And when he saw Orochi’s body move, he reacted immediately and tried to run away as quickly as possible, but he knew that it was impossible.

But he was also a ruthless character, he grabbed the nearby guards and threw them towards Orochi to create obstacles for him and create some gap that could let him escape.

“Ahhh...”

“Leader, what are you doing?”

But what made his soul flutter was that just when he threw the guards, Orochi was just 2 meters away from him.

And Orochi neither bothered to dodge nor did his speed decrease, instead, like a truck, his body got closer to the leading guard, and the guards thrown at him were hit like a ball and got bounced away.

Seeing this, the leading guard started panicking.

But unfortunately for him, Orochi was just a meter away from him.

Orochi extended his hand to catch the leading guard...

But that’s when the mutation happened.

Orochi, who was about to catch the leading guard, stopped because danger signals started ringing in his mind.

So, without thinking about anything, he immediately bent back.

Whoosh

A fast shadow went past from the position where Orochi’s upper body was present just a moment ago.

Since Orochi bent back, he was able to see what the shadow was.

It was a spear.

With his high ‘Sense’ stat, he has great eyesight, so he was able to see what the fast moving object was.

Immediately, he crouched down and look in the direction from which the spear came.

At a distance of about 100-120 meters from the city wall, a middle aged guy was standing at the top of a building and was looking towards Orochi’s direction.

With his eyesight, Orochi could roughly see that the opponent had a faint trace of regret, maybe it was because he missed?

But Orochi knew that the opponent was not a good thing, at least not when he was ‘Playing the Pig to eat the tiger’ play.

So, without thinking much, he decided to flee and get away from the town as quickly as possible.

And if this ‘middle aged guy’ still chases him, then Orochi can only make sure that next year it would be the guy’s death anniversary.

So, he quickly got up and dashed towards the leading guard who was able to create a gap between them in this small confrontation.

The leading guard felt elated when he saw someone was able to distract Orochi and that gave him the time to escape. But unfortunately, his happiness was short-lived.

Because the next moment, he felt an iron like hand grasp his neck and lift him in the air.

Immediately he understood that he was caught.

Just like how the Lion presses down its prey with his claw, he felt like he was being held by a terrifying beast.

He started to feel death looming over him.

He struggled violently, even trying to shake away the hand that clasped him, but it was all futile.

“Ah... spare me senior...”

“Kaakk... I know made a mistake but please let me go.”

No matter how he struggled, in front of Orochi’s strength, it's nothing.

And Orochi was never planning to let this guard escape, so even if he met an enemy, he still caught the guard before escaping.

Orochi did not stay at one spot for long, because he saw that the middle aged guy also moved.

He has been paying attention to him, so when he saw him move, Orochi also reacted instantly.

So as soon as he grabbed the leading guard, Orochi jumped down the wall, once he lands on the ground, it can be said that he stepped out of town.

“Ahh... no...”

The guard in Orochi’s hand, couldn’t help but scream in panic after seeing that Orochi jumped down the wall.

Not to mention that the wall is as high as 50 meters, and he is also being carried by Orochi.

So, the guard’s soul almost flew away after seeing this.

And the way Orochi jumped was quite peculiar.

He did not jump away from the tall wall, instead, he made sure to stay close to the wall and control his descending momentum.

Screechhh

Shhhh

Although, he is somewhat sure that jumping from a height of 50 meters will not harm him, but he is also not sure if jumping from such a height will shake all his internals and create a recovery gap big enough for the pursuing guy to catch up with him, or worst-case scenario he might sprain his leg,

So, instead of taking risks and putting everything on the luck, Orochi decided to use this simple trick.

Not to mention, his ‘Luck’ stat is still in single digits.

Screechhh

Shhhh

So, when he jumped, he extended his free arm and pressed it against the town wall.

And when he was freely falling with the leading guard in his hand, he would exert small pressure which is more than enough to reduce his falling/descending speed.

And when Orochi was just about 25 meters away from the ground, he kicked the wall with great strength and twisted his body around.

BANG

Swish

Then like a spinning cone and an arrow, his body shot farther away from the wall.

His body flew just like a violent bird.

For a few meters, he was flying parallel to the ground, but as the momentum started to die down, he slowly fell towards the ground.

BANG

Finally, some 40 meters away from the town wall, Orochi flipped in the air and landed on the ground.

BOOM

Unfortunately, for him, there was no ‘legendary pit’ formed when he landed on the ground.

If it was in a normal situation, he would stop for a second and sigh,

‘Sigh... if a huge pit was formed when I landed, then surely I would have looked so cool...’

But unfortunately, he was now escaping and he did not have the leisure to sigh.

============================

(A small recap, in this world Empire is bigger than a Kingdom, and a kingdom is bigger than a country.

So,

Empire > Kingdom > Country > State > County > City > Town> Village.

I will be mentioning these things after a few chapters regularly to avoid confusion.)
