Areth continued to walk in the forest with little to no idea where he was.
He thought of flying upward as he looked at the tall green trees, but didn’t pursue the idea as he could give his position immediately by doing so.
“…Guess I’ll just walk.”
As he moved through the dense forest, he suddenly heard a noise from his left side and commanded the system to scan his surroundings for nearby threats.
[SCANNING…]
[0 THREATS DETECTED.]
“Hmm…”
“Is it an animal?” He thought to himself as he started walking towards the noise before seeing who the person behind the noise was.
…?
“Inra?”
“Areth?”
“Seems like we’re together, huh?” She says.
“Yeah, let’s move,” Areth replied as she followed him through the unknown place.
The two moved around for a bit before Inra started to speak to him, questioning him about himself.
“Hey, Areth.”
“What?” He replied.
“Do you have any hobbies?”
“I do.”
“Ohh, tell me about them.”
“Well, my first one is Mechanics, then the second is reading…” Areth tells her, which impresses her, as according to her, he doesn’t have the appearance of someone who likes reading, and asks him if he has a third hobby.
“Well, if I had a third, I think it would be-” Areths said as he noticed a light shining in his direction from afar, when he suddenly received a message from the system. The source of this chapter is g.com.
[IMMINENT THREAT DETECTED WITHIN YOUR SURROUNDINGS.]
“A threat?”
“I’m guessing it’s the light, but what is threatening about it-” He thought as he looked at it for a few seconds before realizing that it was an attack and quickly flew up as a beam of white energy went under him, piercing through multiple buildings.
!?
“An attack!?” Inra said as Areth turned towards the direction where the attack was sent, only to see one of the opponents holding a white rifle and aiming directly at him.
“A sniper?” Areth thought, quickly flying at them as they shot another white beam of light directly at him, forcing him to dodge out of its way.
At the same time, Inra took the opportunity and quickly flew directly towards the sniper’s position as she created a sword out of energy.
Its appearance was yellow in color and looked similar to a thunderbolt, and she shouted to Areth.
“Areth, I got this!”
Inra quickly closed the gap between her and the sniper when, suddenly, the riflewoman leaped high away from her, letting out another shot directly at her, which she parried using her blade as the projectile flew up.
Seeing this, Areth quickly took the opportunity of her being in the air to rapidly fly at her within a second and punch her with a fist coated in blue energy.
[AURA FIST]!
The punch landed successfully as it sent the flying woman into a tree, breaking it in the process.
!!
“Nice one!” Inra shouted to him as he rapidly flew to the area where she had landed, only to see that she was gone.
“Now what?”
“She couldn’t have gone that far in such a short time!” Inra said as Areth attempted to use the system to detect nearby threats, only for it to not detect anything.
“She got away…”
At the same time, the eyepatched sniper was quickly flying away from the scene, realizing that fighting the two of them wasn’t in her favor, especially since her plan of taking out the first one with a single shot had failed.
“I have to relocate quickly!” She said as she noticed a warrior from Pulsar on the ground walking near a canyon.
He wore a black hoodie and looked directly at her.
As they looked at each other for a few seconds, she wondered why he didn’t fly at her and quickly noticed something about him.
“… Don’t tell me…”
“This guy can’t fly?”
HA!
“Why would they even waste their time putting someone like him on their team-” She confidently said as a small part of the earth that was at a hundred meters below her rose and went through her body in the shape of a spike.
SHANK!
!?!?
“…What!?”
“From below!?”
“You have to be kidding me!!” She said as she teleported out of the planet, when suddenly a static voice echoed throughout the entire planet.
[PARTICIPANT TERRA OF TEAM THARKAL IS OUT OF THE FIGHT!]
[6 VS 5]
Tch!
“What a waste of my time…” The hooded man said as he walked further into the vast desert.
No chapters tomorrow due to exams, sorry 🙁
