East Meet West

65- Trouble 2

‘ROARR...’

Suddenly, I felt like my ear drums will rupture and my blood in my body was churning.

‘ding’

‘-130 HP lost due to sound wave attack’

A trail of blood leaked from the corner of my mouth.

After few seconds, the roar’s soundwave vanished. And it took me few seconds to calm down and I saw that I lost 130 HP, this made my back cold with sweat.

Whatever monster it was, just its roar made my blood churn and loose HP, then one can only imagine at what level the monster is at. And this just gave me goosebumps.

I decided that it would be wise for us to run away from here. Although, I would like to know what monster possess such strength, but only a fool would go and check that out.

(Author comment- Finally, the ‘intelligence’ stat is showing its effect.)

I turned my attention towards Armelia, who was kneeling on the ground and she also had a trail of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. I saw that she was still in stunned state. So, instead of wasting anymore time, I picked her up and placed her on my back. Something like ‘Piggyback’ carrying style. I immediately activated sprint and ran in the direction we were moving earlier.

Luckily, the direction in which I was running was a right angle or 90 degrees to the direction from which I heard the monster's roar. Although, I should be running in the opposite direction, but I decided that it would not be wise for me stray away from the path through which I can exit the ‘Inner area of the dark forest’. Anyway, it's not like monster is coming after us and even it is, then I don’t think that we will be able to escape much away from it. So, I decided to take risk.

The speed at which I ran was astonishing, and my vision & body’s reaction was hardly able to keep up with my speed. I almost bumped into 2 to 3 trees due to my speed and low reaction. My vision was half blurry and half visible.

I immediately told the system to add 15 ‘Free stat points’ into the ‘Sense’ stat.

‘Ding’

‘15 (Free stat points) has been added to the (Sense) stat.’

My vision improved and my body was barely able to react according to my speed and vision. But I still felt that this was not enough. So, I told the system to add another 15 ‘Free stat points’ into the ‘Sense’ stat.

‘Ding’

‘15 (Free stat points) has been added to the (Sense) stat.’

Finally, my body was able to react properly with my speed.

After running for a few minutes, I felt like I should have run a lot of distance away from the monster and decided to stop.

Armelia also got down from my back and I tried to catch my breath. Although, I did not feel much fatigue, but still running for so long needs few breaths to calm the heart which is beating faster or in other terms to calm the Heart’s BPM back to normal.

After calming down, I asked Armelia

“Armelia are you feeling alright?”

Hearing my question, Armelia nodded and said,

“Yeah, I am fine and thank you for carrying me. I was stunned by that monster’s voice and was unable to even move my leg.”

While speaking, Armelia placed her hands on opposite shoulder and her arms were crossed. And her body trembled a little. I can see that even she was stunned by the that monster’s roar and that has left some deep impression on Armelia.

I patted her head and tried consoling her. After few minutes, she calmed down and got back to normal.

Seeing, that she was ok, I looked at our surroundings and realized that we were close to the area where I killed the wolf which was preparing for a sneak attack on Armelia and was part of the ‘White Fang wolf’s pack.

Then we started walking in the direction where I killed the wolf.

After walking for few minutes, we reached the area and found that there were still blood marks on the ground and the nearby area, where the wolf was killed as I beheaded it. But the body was missing.

According to my estimation, either the ‘White Fang wolf’ and its pack must have taken away the body or some other monster might have eaten the body.

Anyway, what happened to the wolf’s body is not my concern, so I ignored this and then we started walking in the direction though which I entered ‘Inner area of the dark forest’, and the place where I first saw the ‘White Fang wolf’ and its pack, was also on the way.

But as we walked, I felt that something was not right and my senses were telling me that we are in danger. I stopped walking and looked around my surroundings.

Armelia was confused by my actions and wanted to ask,

“hey...!!”

But just as she opened her mouth to say something, her body became alert and she also observed the surroundings, as if she might have also felt that we were in danger.

We alertly watched our surroundings and shockingly

But after observing for a minute or so, we were unable to find anything.

Suddenly, we heard a laughing sound

“Hehehe, looks like these kids found us.”
