Chapter 34: Escape
Chapter 34: Escape
"Haa, you f*cking trees. Stick to your own business less I destroy all of you!" a shout came from the mouth of an elephant that was on a rampage, destroying the environment around it. Countless vines of various sizes bound the legs of the elephant but it was also continuously destroyed.
Some monkeys and beasts could also be seen punching and cutting the trees and the vines.
Pat
A huge tree fell with several wounds on its body and a cleanly cut trunk. The tree was cleanly cut and a kid carrying a sword did it. The boy had red hair that seemed to be ablaze in flame. The boy was continuously emitting hot air and his aura carried the sharp aura of a sword.
Looking at the boy, Cylius knew that he was a top tier talent. Not many could have an aura that was seen even by the ordinary naked eye. Only people who had advanced to the second grade could have the privilege, and except people of the same caliber, geniuses could have it before.
Considering their situation, only people who had powerful innate genes would be able to exude auras. And the genes were named as the aura gene, blunt. If said, the grade of Garen's gene was the least requirement.
The blond and the red haired were definitely very close to the power of an extraordinaire and he was very surprised that the Black Knights could attract a person of that caliber. The Black Knights should've sacrificed a lot to make him join them, and this person may have also been their trump card. The measly Black Knights couldn't have killed him and they should've knew it so they relied on the power of two Pseudo-Extraordinaires to fight and kill him.
But the plan failed due to their carelessness not calculating that there were tree druids who had banded together.
"Heh, they shouldn't have realized that there weren't any spiritual druids here huh. But it should be justified as the universal energy here is higher resulting in the spiritual environment and stronger and more intelligent beasts here. The people they should be at should have much less universal energy so the trees there shouldn't have any spirituality at all."
As the huge tree fell, a huge sound was made and beasts should gather here, even Cylius would dread surrounding by a group of beasts that had unknown strength, there may even be some at the level of a second grade.
The mission was only to survive, so little skirmishes could be ignored and the trouble could be dealt with in the future. The original plan was to wait for both of the sides to tire each other out so he could kill two birds with one stone, but he hadn't expected that there would be someone powerful enough to cleanly cut off a powerful Halfling stage tree.
The little trees falling wasn't of any concern at all as it wouldn't attract the attention of powerful beasts as there were many same occurrences happening at night. But he couldn't say the same about now. He wasn't even sure if he could escape when he was surrounded.
'Swish' quickly and swiftly he left the scene. Stepping on branches all branches that were stepped on by him was shriveled beyond belief. Maybe with just a single breeze they would turn to dust. Even though he was damaging the trees the damage wasn't too great and the trees wouldn't offend him for a single branch.
Though to grow them, they would need at least a hundred year. But not mentioning a hundred year how long was their lifespan? Just for them to form their spirituality it must've took milleniums. His foot worked swiftly but it also looked illusionary making him curse out aloud.
If this really happened he would completely become a ghost and he wouldn't want to see that. He didn't consider being a human precious but society would naturally avoid him and even hunt him!
He would at least need to consider becoming a ghost after he had become a third tier genetician, this way he would have the power to protect him and beings at this level wouldn't be rash.
Ghosts had many precious materials, people could purify their spirit and put them in artifacts to make them artifact spirits, or use it as a material for a curse overall there were many uses. And the most important point would be this would be morally justified.
Even though morals weren't discussed in the society today, it was still important after all a person would go for benefits but would people appreciate evil deeds? The answer would be no. The various clans and organizations would train the young people to make them become kind and a justice hero so they could manipulate them. Though they would soon realize they would also participate in it, forming a vicious cycle.
And with the foundation the clans would have no choice but to be moral and justified at least on the surface.
Just as he was running through the forest, his pupils shrunk for a bit. He immediately hid his aura and hid by the cover of the tree. He lowered down his heartbeat and breath and changed his aura so that he seemed that he was a lifeless statue. Even in the cover of night he would need to do this.
Due to his lifeforce manipulating unique ability, he could make his lifeforce into a somewhat dead making his aura also change. Although people would be able to notice it easily once they concentrated it was incredibly difficult to change like that.
Not properly doing this would expose him easily and could also have negative effects on them if not careful. A person's mind was powerful so by making the illusion that their aura was dead and they were a lifeless thing, things could turn serious quickly and had the horrible effect of them losing their vitality in reality.
It would take a long time but if this continued they would be really sick and their health would deteriorate. Acting can be dangerous, the power of illusions and mind were powerful and not to be underestimated.
Though this kind of cover would be able to go by unnoticed if the thing didn't pay attention.
Woosh, the sound of something moving at a fast speed sounded. Then Cylius felt negative emotions of fear and submission in the air. It was all free so of course he would absorb it.
The sudden change was accounted to the highly dangerous second tier bird that had passed by just now.
'He, their luck is really bad to have a powerful second grade monster going there' smirking his current dead aura instantly changed back to the gloomy aura. Even though it was just passing by a suppression from a higher tier even if it was just the difference of one was huge. Minor beasts around the aria nearby would naturally be alarmed and terrified. They could never guess the arrival of the beast, their instincts wouldn't work and give delayed results.
But with his exceptional instincts and perception this was nothing, of course he would be able to sense.
