East Meet West

67- Fight or Flight 2

As we do not have much time, I decided to go with the first option. I did not choose the second option because, although the bald guy’s team is divided, I cannot take the risk of waiting for the ‘right time’ and then escape, who knows when the other people might join the group. And if that happens then I can only wash my neck and wait for them to kill me. As for Armelia, I don’t have to say what will happen if she gets caught by these people.

So, I shook my head and told the bald guy that

“Thank you for your offer but we have some work and it will not be convenient for you guys to waste your valuable time on escorting us out of here. If we are done here, both us will take our leave and goodbye.”

With that, I took Armelia’s hand and turned around. But as soon as I turned around, the bald guy spoke coldly,

“Hey brat, here we were magnanimous to help you guys, but you fail to appreciate that. Hey, what are you waiting for, just capture these two brats? And we can have some fun with the girl while, we can sell this boy in the slave market. Although, looking at his malnutritioned physique, I doubt if anyone will buy him, but anything is better than nothing.”

After the bald guy gave the command, four people started walking towards us. Two were coming from behind, while two were coming from our sides.

I sneered at the action of bald guy; he is claiming to be righteous but his actions prove otherwise.

Its laughable especially for his reason to attack us; he claims that we declined his help and that offended him.

It's something like he is trying to convince his followers and his heart that we were in the wrong, and his decision to attack is correct.

It's truly laughable and my eyes became cold with killing intent. You could say that this guy could be a living example of ‘hypocritic human’ that I have seen in movies or manga or novels, those who claim himself to be righteous but do all kinds of shady / criminal things, and use some righteous dialogue to convince himself and the public.

And I hate this kind of people the most.

But the killing intent dissipated soon, because I don’t have any chance of killing him. And only a fool would allow his emotions to control him and will duke out with this group.

Although, it would be weird calling myself a ‘fool’ because there have been instances where I let my emotions cloud my judgement. But I cannot be blamed because it will take time for a person who has been a ‘good guy’ to turn into a person who is selfish or bad or evil or ruthless or whatever one can call.

But still, I can control myself and know when to fight and when to run.

And in this situation, I am supposed to be running.

So, I quickly took out the ‘Practice sword’ from the ‘storage box’ and picked up Armelia, turned around and ran into the two guys who were approaching us to capture while simultaneously activating the ‘Sprint’ skill.

‘Swish’

‘Swoosh’

The next second I was 30 meters away from the group. Everyone was stunned and I heard the bald guy shouting,

“What are you waiting for? Catch those bastards quickly, how dare they kill my men.”

.

The two men who were coming from behind to catch Armelia and Orochi, were standing stiff on the spot and after the bald guy shouted, their heads slowly slid and fell down.

They were beheaded by Orochi with such great speed that, others were unable to see what happened and only the bald guy was able to see how the two were killed, hence he was the first to recover from the shock and gave order to chase Orochi.

Seeing that the two of their companions were beheaded so quickly, the members were stunned and angry. With the shout of the bald guy a.k.a ‘vice leader’, they came back to senses and started chasing Orochi and Armelia.

“Damn bastard, wait for the father to kill you.”

“Fuckin skeleton, how dare you.”

“I swear if I don’t catch you today then I will change my family name to dumbass.”

‘ding’

‘Refinement stage human killed’

‘+2150 Exp’

‘ding’

‘Low level stage human killed’

‘+2450 Exp’

‘Level up’

‘Obtained 40 (Free stat Points) and extra 4 (Free stat Points) as the (Resistance) stat is at the limit.’

I ignored the notifications and ran with full strength. Luckily, the two guys who were coming from behind to capture Armelia and I, belonged to the lowest cultivation level and I took the advantage of this. And had quickly beheaded them because that will reduce the number of people following me and I can also gain ‘exp’ for killing them.

After running for 30-40 meters, I could hear the shout of bald guy a.k.a ‘Vice leader’ and the next second I started hearing all the curses from the men, who were chasing me.

Although, I have the advantage of early start, but I don’t think I can hold the advantage. Because the bald guy is at the peak of demi-human stage and it will hardly take a minute or two for him to catch up to us. And at that time, I cannot fight him alone.

Thinking about this issue, I decided to add points to my ‘Agility’ stat, so I told the system,

“System add 15 (Free stat points) in the (Agility) stat.”

‘Ding'

‘WARNING: Addition of more stat points to (Agility) stat will damage the host’s body, because the host’s stats are unbalanced to the extreme and host’s body cannot adapt to more increase of stats.’

‘Currently it is advisable to the host to add 3 (Free stat points), but after that if the host still want to add (Free stat points), please note that the chances of damaging the body is high.’

‘Would you like to proceed?’

‘(YES) or (NO)’

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

Let's make a few goals.

Mass Release on Monday:

100 Power stones = 2 Chapters

120 Power stones = 3 Chapters

140 Power stones = 4 Chapters

(Only if I reach this goal, will I be Mass releasing the chapters. Because I have started working in a company, and am tired when I return home. So, If I could see your support through this, I can reassure myself that ‘Yeah, I can still work on this novel and can also start new works’ for my readers.)
