Chapter 136 A Fast Attacker - Part 1
Terran wasn't wrong, he wanted the work to get over as soon as possible so that they could go to another place.
Though, he was happy at the same time because they hadn't gone towards the south end of the forest yet.
However, he had temporarily forgotten about that, for now at least.
"Master…?", he turned towards his back only to find Shin's eyes glowing with green light.
Yes, it is the same light that flashes from Shin's eyes whenever he uses some skill.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill All Seeing Eyes ]
[ Your vision has been enhanced ]
[ Everything within the range of 200 meters will appear to move slow ]
[ You can scan anything directly and see through it ]
He could now see through the walls and objects that were otherwise opaque. And thanks to this, he could now confirm if it was safe to enter a hut like that.
It was common sense, after all, no one would live here without having some sort of traps or guards so that they could be safe against other beasts and monsters.
Yes, the hut was almost near the edges and the humans or others races might enter or leave the place, there should be something that would ensure safety.
After all, other races wouldn't just let someone go or pass by after seeing a hut out of nowhere.
This meant that there was some catch to this.
That was precisely why Shin used his skill to check if his suspicion was right or not.
'Huh?'
'What the-'
Shin widened his eyes when he took a look at what was present inside the hut.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Dash ]
[ Your… ]
He vanished from Terran's sight and almost immediately arrived in front of the hut.
Terran who was attracted by the green glowing eyes, suddenly saw a weird ray of green light right after which he found that Shin had disappeared.
"Ma-"
He turned his head towards the right and then wanted to turn left, just when he found Shin right in front of the hut.
"Master!?", he was really surprised to see him actually cover the distance in a blink of an eye.
'So master is really a fast runner?', Terran asked himself.
He thought that Shin wasn't fast. Looking at his short legs and small body, Terran concluded that he wouldn't be fast because even after having long legs, he wasn't that fast.
Of course, size and long legs aren't the only factors that decides the speed of someone – Terran learned that lesson today.
In any case, he now understood that it was him who was slowing Shin down all this time.
But for now, he didn't think about that and started running towards Shin.
"Master, is something wrong?", Terran asked but Shin didn't reply.
Instead, he stood right in front of the hut while staring at the wooden door which was about to fall out.
'Aero Slash!'
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Aero Slash ]
The already broken door was completely slashed away. Of course, that included the hut too, it was also cut into two pieces.
'Bam'
The entire hut fell down as soon as this happened.
Shin jumped and then almost immediately turned towards Terran and said, "Terran, get back immediately!"
Terran failed to understand what he meant by that when all of a sudden, Terran was attacked from his behind.
'Boom'
"Terran!", Shin shouted at the top of his voice.
There was a cloud of smoke surrounding Terran who was blown a few meters away.
'Bam'
He ended up getting smashed on the little raised sand walls which were hard enough to cause pain if hit with a fist.
Crack formed all over the wall after which Terran fell on the ground.
"Terran…"
Shin was completely bewildered to see him getting thrown so far, but what was more shocking was the drop in HP.
[ HP: 280/590 || Max. HP: 600 ]
'Are you kidding me?'
'With just one attack, his HP was reduced by more than half!?'
'Wasn't his defense stat high?', Shin questioned himself.
Just because his defense stat was high, he survived the blow, if it was lower, then that would be it for Terran.
'Damn…'
'Just what being is this?'
When Shin turned his head towards the cloud of dust which was still at the same place where Terran was attacked, the one who attacked had already neared Shin.
'Fast…', Shin thought as he dodged the attack from a sharp pointy thing.
'Boom'
Another small cloud of dust rose when the attack missed Shin and hit the ground.
'Rawrrr'
It was a loud growl but sounded cute. Unfortunately, Shin had no time to think about that.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Dash ]
He used the skill dash to increase his speed as much as possible to dodge the attack.
The attacker was fast so it was a good decision taken by Shin.
'Just who the heck is attacking me?'
Since the moon was yet again covered with clouds, it had become dark.
Also, the All Seeing Eyes which he had used earlier was suddenly disabled.
Precisely due to that he ended up using the skill Dash and Aero Slash earlier because his instincts warned him of something.
All of a sudden something pointy struck his right forelimb as he was dodging the attack.
Well, the barrage of attack continued.
The attacker was faster than Shin's speed too!
It was so fast that neither his eyes could perceive it nor could his body keep up with the attack. Basically, it was as if he was in a helpless situation.
Even his skill Dash got deactivated all of a sudden while the attacker's speed kept increasing!
'Dammit'
*slash*
*slash*
Small slashing wounds were being left all over his body, of course, he had the skill to heal so he could use that to heal himself whenever he wanted, unfortunately, he refrained himself from healing.
Well, the answer to that could be given by if the answers to these questions were found – Why was he slow despite having the skill Dash? What happened to All Seeing Eyes? Why did the attacker become fast exactly when Shin became slow?
"…"
