Talas Talim was now inside the woods and moving toward one of the tree inside. He was thinking of using the trees to hide from the sight of anything that might see him if he transform. He knew if someone was to see him transform from a bird into a mosquito, he will be treated as a special beast or a treasure and he will be hunted for all god sakes just to capture him. That's why he knew that he can only hide for now before transforming, even more so when his so weak right now.
He softly landed on the tree that he thinks provides most cover among the trees. He cautiously looks at his surrounding to check if someone's around before transforming. After a few breaths worth of time he finally decided that it was safe. He was about to transform when suddenly…
"Psshhhhh!"
A headless arrow was flying towards him approaching from the gaps between the leaves and branches of a tree two meters from the right side of his position. Fortunately his guard was still up and immediately alerted the moment he heard a swished of the leaves. He immediately jumps backwards and the arrow passed and missed in front of his eyes. He clearly saw the arrow when it passed him and the point the arrow was blunt. He knew from that moment that the attacker was intending to capture him.
He was scared wittingly and his first instinct tells him to run away, and so he did. He immediately flew away escaping from the opposite direction where the arrow came from. He didn't even dare to look at his attacker because his instincts were telling him that a moment of hesitation is enough for his attacker to catch up to him.
And the pursuit began…
Dozens of minutes already passed and the game of cat and mouse is still at play. Talas Talim already dodged dozen of arrows that were shot towards him and each were dodged barely, he can even feel that the arrows were getting accurate as time passed. It made him restless as he knew he could not afford to prolong the chase any longer. Little did he know that the attacker pursuing him was getting annoyed and embarrassed as his arrows missed the target each and every shot.
Talas Talim quickened his pace. Even with his flying speed, he can still feel that the attacker was getting closer and closer. [I need to do something or else it will be too late! Think! Come on! Think!] He was becoming more restless as he knew that it only takes matter of time before the attacker caught up to him, he need to do something! His brain was running faster and faster as it formulates ideas and tricks to use at the moment. But to no avail, no useful tricks came up until... he saw something and his eyes immediately came up with an idea.
There was a wild boar in an open field within the woods in the direction he was flying and it seems to be eating some kind of red mushrooms. The boar was medium-sized, and has a dark to rusty-brown haired body. Its head is larger and more pointed than the average boar and its ears were smaller but longer and more pointed. It also has a very noticeable mane like a lion but it has some hint of color red on the edges. The unique part of the boar was its face, its face has some tribal tattoo like markings on it that were colored white and its snout too was colored whitish. The last part and not the least was its weapon, the tusks. The two tusks were three and a half foot long with a curve edge and the whole tusk has some black colored straight lines marked on it.
The boar looks really an aggressive type of beast and a very hostile one. But to Talas Talim it looked like an angel that appears when hope was all gone and a miracle was needed.
He quickens his flying speed heading straight towards the boar. And while he's at it, he was already formulating plans or rather a speech inside his mind.
When he thought that he was near enough for his voice to reach the boar. He started his speech or rather the insults!
"Hey! Young ma-master, the mighty boar!!" Talas Talim shouted to the boar with his voice sound seems nervous and with the face that looks likes he had seen something he never should have.
The boar turned his head towards him with an annoyed face but still he lift his head high like a proud pig when he heard Talas Talim calling him 'mighty boar.' But the proud looks in the boar's face suddenly turns into a fury of anger when he heard what Talas Talim said next.
"There's a human insulting your mighty stature and because I heard him, so he wanted to silence me because he fears you! He proudly said that all boars are tasty and he wants to have a roast pig today!" Talas Talim quickly speaks his formulated speech to the boar and just as he expected it started to work in an instant. The boar was now boiling with anger and it feels like he was about to erupt.
When Talas Talim saw the state of the boar was in, he was grinning inside his mind thinking how effective his speech was.
He was getting closer to the boar and he suddenly stops when they were only two meters apart. He stared the boar in the eyes with a concerned look. [This is it! I will deliver the final push!]
And he suddenly speaks with his face looks of urgency "I even heard him sang it!" This was his plan all along. His plan was to use his passive skill <
"He was singing like this"
*I will skewer your b*tthoooooleee*
*With a very long bambooooooooo*
*You juicy tasty roast booooaaarrr*
Suddenly, after Talas Talim finished his singing. The boar finally erupted from anger, it was fuming with smoke and its white tribal tattoos on its face are changing color and turning to red, even its two tusks were turning red too. And at the same time, the attacker suddenly caught up to them and the silhouette of the attacker suddenly appeared approaching from the trees and now was visible through the open field.
"Mi-mighty boar that's him!!" Talas Talim immediately pointed out the attacker that was following him.
The boar eyes suddenly turns red after seeing the silhouette of the human who dares to insult his mighty stature! And without any further ado, the boar charged like a bull moving fast towards the attacker.
After seeing this, Talas Talim finally shows a smile on his face, as he knew that his plan was successful.
"Shit it's a berserker boar! Fortunately it's still young" The attacker exclaimed after seeing the boar that was charging towards him, at first he was surprise but after seeing how young the boar was he immediately calm down and sigh of relief.
Now that Talas Talim can take a breather after hours of flying, he can now look at the face of the f*cking attacker that was chasing him.
"The f*ck! Isn't it the guy earlier!? The f*cking archer who tried to kill me? But why does he want to capture me now while earlier he wanted to kill me? It doesn't make sense, maybe I'm too handsome? Yeah, that's the only reason I can think of. Damn!" He can't help but talk to himself when he saw the face of the attacker that was following him.
The attacker was the archer from watchtower. The Archer's name was Asul Robin and he is one of the young geniuses of the Asul's Clan. His looks were around the age of sixteen-twenty and five and a half foot tall. His face is genuinely handsome with a perfect pair of blue eyes and a ponytailed long blue hair. He was wearing elegant black leather hunter armor and his entire left arm were fully armored with a light-metal that was coated with color black that was not shiny, while his right arm was exposed with only a black leather glove. In his back there was a bow and quiver attached and his waist there was a dagger. The bow was colored black with some unique blue linings printed on it; its looks like it was personally made by an expert smith and the wood that was used was very rare.
[Damn! This guy must not be ordinary, he looks simply too rich, even though his not handsome enough compares to my handsome self, he can be my sidekick.] Talas Talim thought after a brief observation to Robin and nodded to himself as he compares images on his mind.
Talas Talim was having a breather at the moment as he looked at the boar that was almost closing in to attack Robin.
When the boar was about to hit Robin, he jumps side ward and unsheathes the dagger in his waist with his right hand and slash it upward from below the neck of the boar cutting its throat. When the dagger was taken out from the sheath it looks like it was made from very special silver and its edges looks very sharp, while the handle was colored blue and style like a short katana.
And as expected from a dagger of that quality, the boar died just like that and crashed into the near trees. Talas Talim was stupefied and scared to sh*t when he saw what happened!
"F*ck pig!! Why did you die just like that!? What happen to your MIGHTY stature!?" Talas Talim shouted with a dumbfounded look.
