When Zynx looked at their direction after arriving out from the passage, he could not detect anything. But he knew, they were beneath the tree.
While using camouflage, he got away. After forming some distance between them he chose one direction and moved toward it.
Since he could not hunt bone penetrating ants, he decided to hunt skeleton warrior. According to Mia, the average status of skeleton warrior was also 2.5 like him because of that he presumed it would be easy.
There was no shortage of skeleton inside the death canyon therefore just after the distance of half an hour from ant colonies, he found solitary skeleton warrior.
Zynx concentrate on its figure, its body was made up of gray bone and there was a white fire in place of its eye, moving around slowly.
According to what he had learned from the game, in order to kill skeleton you have to extinguish the fire in its eye or after its death, it would go off.
As skeleton had low or no intelligence, Zynx didn't think he would need much time to defeat it. He took out 2 sharp spears from the void stomach and launched at the two eyes of skeleton warrior.
He thought he would have to alter back the spears into poison after it got impaled but two spears directly passed through the skull, making a hole on it, directly killing the skeleton warrior.
[Congratulation on killing skeleton warrior.]
[You have been cursed.]
[Because of your unique skill 'pet of destruction' curse has been repelled.]
[Level: 4/5(37.9%)]
[Skeleton warrior*1]
He got 4% experience from a single kill that indicates, 16 more to level up. Since he was unable to hunt ant, he would just hunt skeleton for now.
Zynx then summoned poison ward and ordered it to digest. Poison ward swallows the whole skeleton as its stomach was 5 times larger than him.
[Time for digestion – 30 min]
After 20 min, he could detect someone was traveling towards him.
From the sound of its movement, he thought it should be human.
He was not sure whether it was a group of people from before or not as the sound was coming from another direction.
No matter what, he had to get away from this place.
Zynx un-summoned poison ward and stored the remaining bone.
[Ancient bloodline (white crystal) = level 3(93.2%)]
With nearing of sound, he realized there was only single human.
So, he discarded the idea of running and made resolution of finding out who it was.
The only point, from where he could get a better view was a dead tree, so he climbed on the tallest tree and anticipated for it to pass.
After a minute, Zynx saw the human moving in his direction. He became happy after realizing that it was a girl. He could not see her face from this far, but he was determined to kidnap her if she was found to be weaker than him.
…
Finally, he could clearly see her.
She had emerald hair which lay on her shoulders like a waterfall flowing mildly. The breeze blew through her curls, straightening them into waves that whipped about behind her even though there was no wind. Underneath bangs, shone eyes, the color of a dazzling emerald green, which looked around from one place to another. No one couldn't help but notice that they glistened every time she moved them. They were the ones that seemed to draw you into a daze, not letting you go. Her eyes seemed to shine in the sunlight, but hide in the darkness. Below them was a nose so freckled that the brown splotches overlapped much like autumn leaves after harsh winds blew. Her smile was warm with a hint of shyness and her lips were like a frozen rose, dangerous but beautiful. Overall she had angelic feature, the only thing missing was wings behind her.
Zynx could not see her body as her whole body was covered by silver knight armor with different types of the symbol on it, so he just decided to ignore it.
Zynx could not see her rank but when he saw emerald wind surrounding her body, he decided to give up on the plan of kidnapping her.
This was the first time for him to see wind surrounding human body like that, so he asked.
'Mia, what is that wind?'
[When wizard reaches heaven realm on a certain element, it automatically surrounds their body to protect the user.]
'So, it is like that.'
Zynx didn't know the power of heaven realm as Mia had not told him, so he presumed it must be higher than him, that's all.
Then he suddenly became confused.
'Mia, if she is a wizard, then why is she wearing knight armor instead of wizard robe?'
[I don't know.]
'Sigh!!, if only she was wearing a robe, then I might have seen S-line of her.'
[You had been cursed]
'What? Again?' He knew curse could not affect him, but he could not understand, how could skeleton cursed him again?, When it had already been dead for 25 min and almost digested.
[Your surrounding was cursed]
'Hmm'
Zynx heard sound from behind him, so he turned back. He saw branch was cracking which made him agitated as that girl was only 50 m away from him. If this branch fell, then it would produce sound in this silent environment.
'God, please don't let it fall down.'
This time God didn't hear him as branch fell down along with him.
While in the air, he thought of running as soon as a branch hit the ground but after hitting the ground he could not move his body due to fall.
After 3 seconds he was able to move his body but that girl was right in front of it, so he changed his plan.
Instead of running he made a resolution to act dead, wishing for her to ignore him and going her own way. But this girl…
She asked him while shaking his little body.
"Hey, are you fine?"
'How can you expect a snake to reply you? But if you can go away then I will be fine.' He replied in his mind.
She became agitated after not hearing his reply.
When Zynx saw look on her face, he thought,' She must have a kind heart to care about a monster like me. Is she really an angel?'
She then took out small red crystal from somewhere and threw it at the dead tree, which lits a fire on it.
"Little snake, don't worry. I will bring you back to life."
She said while carrying Zynx towards the fire.
Zynx could not see fire as it was burning behind him, so he didn't understand how she was going to bring him back, but he started to feel hot sensation on his scales with each step of girl.
He became confused, 'Does the touch of a female in this world, makes you feel hot?'
[No]
When she got near the fire, she dropped him inside it.
[You are in a life-threatening situation.]
[If you don't get out from this situation, then you will died.]
[Countdown – 5 min]
