Sky Steps!
Taking third big jump from the sky steps, I reached the crown of the tree and from there, I started taking a jump on the other tree but suddenly a blur caught my eye and gave me a big fright.
The Blade Snake is coming is climbing the tree at lightning speed, its speed is so fast that my eyes were only able to the blue blur.
Feeling very scared, I started running on the trees, I know this is very dangerous, just a little mistake on my part and I will fall on the ground where reaper will be waiting for me with its blade.
I had never run on the tree before but I had seen a video on the web how to do that when I saw few people running on the trees in miasta forest.
It’s fortunate that I still remember the basic tips of it, which are now helping me ran on the trees right now but I know the slight mistake on my part would cost me a fall.
Just single slip of my feet and I will directly enter the world of the dead.
The one thing that helping me most are my fire jets, using sky steps over and over would take too much of my mana as I am already using two of my knight grade skill while I am running.
I don’t think the potion bottles potions I have would last if I kept using sky steps, so, using the my fire jets to jump around the trees is best option as they gave my legs enough power to make long jumps and If tree is really out of my jumps range which hardly, I can use the sky steps as final option.
"Shing!"
The heard noise, only to see the tree which I had just taken the jump from has fallen, I couldn’t see clearly what happened but I know it is the work of the Blade Snake.
I was right, just as I took a jump on another tree, I found it is falling on the ground.
I had to take a quick jump on another tree which I barely able to balance myself before taking next jump again.
This fucking Reaper! I cursed as I sacred shitless seeing that, the blade is cutting the trees which I am jumping on to make me fall.
I got a clear look as it swung its tail at the tree trunk and the tree trunk clearly cut into, it feels like it’s not cutting trees but leaves as Its taking barely any time to cut the tree.
I am really feeling scared right now, if it caught up to me, then I wouldn’t have a chance to scream before it cut my head in half and eat my brains.
Suddenly I moved toward the left despite knowing it will be dangerous ahead, not only this way passed through the area where the densest population Sergeant stage is, I will even have to leave the protection of the tree after few hours but this route is still better as this route is closer to Region 4 boundary.
The boundary of Region 4 little more than a hundred kilometers away if I had taken the other way, I had to run for about hundred and fifty kilometers away, a fifty kilometer more that the route I am currently taking.
It will take me the whole night and early morning to cross a hundred kilometers but If I give my all then I am confident, I can cross a hundred kilometers in one night.
It’s been half an hour since I have been running for my life and I can feel the constant presence of The Blade Snake below me.
It is feeling of death god behind you, if you stopped for a moment then its scyth will fall on you.
If one looked behind me, one will see the clear long line of fallen trees.
It must have cut down more than five hundred trees since it started following me, whatever tree put my step on it, it will be cut mmeThe Blade Snake’s blade tail.
The blade on its tail is just a few inches long but it is sharp enough to cut down trees whose trunk is meter thick.
I had to move very fast, not spending even second on the tree before jumping on the branch of another three, otherwise, I will fell with the falling tree which had been cut by the blade snake.
Looking at my watch, there is little more than an hour till evening, after it gets dark, I have to be extra careful as chances of me falling off the tree will increase further, not to forget monsters are mainly active at night.
Suddenly a thought came into my mind and when I think about it, I thought it is very weird but soon I got the answer after some thinking.
I was thinking that why no other monster come to attack me since I had been so openly running on the trees but answer soon provided in the question I thought.
The reason why there aren’t monster attacking me also The Blade Snake, not only human feared this reaper but monsters also do, this is most likely the reason why no monsters attacked me yet.
Not only I had received an attack from the Surface monster but flying monster also didn’t dare to attack me, as soon as they saw me coming, they would fly away from the trees they are on.
"Gulp!"
I drank another potion, ever since I had started running, I am drinking potions like water as I am currently activated two knight grade skills and also igniting jets to make leaps.
I am using whatever I have for the slightest boost in speed not caring anything about the potions bottles that I am drinking like water.
That decision was really right! I thought, when I was making preparation for the realm, I brought normal potions in bulk which cost me millions of credits.
Mainly they were mana potion and healing potion, after buying I thought I brought too much as they cost me a lot of money and space in my storage but I still kept pack them in my storage thinking, this time there is no jill who is going to give extra bottles of potions when I needed it.
’Zzzzzz!’ "Fuck!"
I was running normally and thought the blade snake would also keep cutting the trees to make me fall but suddenly it had done something different, instead of cutting the three, it climbed on it and its speed so fast that, I could only see the blue blur with two small red dots which is its eyes.
It is climbing the tree which is I am going to land, so, even if I achieved the sky step now, it will able to launch an attack as long it jumped from the tree which is definitely going to do that.
Its attack definitely going land on me and there is no way I could avoid it, the best way to defend against it and quickly take a high jump using the sky steps but before that I will have to survive its attack if not then instead of taking high jump with sky steps, I would be lying on the ground dead with my brain eaten.
Calming my mind, I quickly went into action.
The tail of The Blade snake is extremely Vicious, the blade on its tail could pierce through anything, its good thing I am ready for its attack, I am ready since I started running.
The dense fire quickly covered the helmet I am wearing, above dense fire layer, white energy covered my whole body, it very dense on my head especially, not only that I also put my already activated shield behind my head.
The dance fire layer is my fire ability while white layer which covering my body is my defense skill above it is the protection of my shield, not to forget my head is covered in knight grade mask and strengthening skill which I kept activated from earlier.
Despite these defenses, I am not sure, I could come off unscathed from its attack if defending against it were that easy then most people who come across it wouldn’t have died.
