Michael ran with all his might and suddenly felt only a sudden flash of air, suddenly he looked forward.
There, he saw arrows raining many arrows raining. Cold sweat ran down from Michael's forehead he could not think of a way to escape so with an instinct he dives down under a thick tree trunk lying the thick grasses.
Swish! Swish!
Many groups of nomads came rushing inside this Freewich forest they pursued one man that would soon bound to become someone great. Michael thought that these hunters/nomads were hired to kill him.
'What a great plan you people have!'
----------------
Haaa... Haaa
Breathing deeply, the nomads look around the surrounding area.
"Over there!"
A guy named Kran holding a two-edged sword runs towards the noise. But it seems that the person they pursued was great at hiding himself.
"Ahh!!"
"Shit! One of us has been caught!"
"Find him! I'll break his neck once we captured that peasant!"
Kran said as he shoves aside his teammates and looks at the nomad that has been killed.
Kran looks around angrily if looks could kill, that person would be dead right now.
"Ahh! Help! Help me!"
Another nomad one has been killed it seems like the hatred between the two groups was deep to the point the man hiding wanted this group not to exist forever.
Swoosh!
Bang!
Puchi!
"Cough... Cough!"
Kran pushed back 5 meters by a punch that the mysterious man give. Although their group was many there seem to be no match by this man. Those who live in this world have a higher physical strength, speed, eyesight and etc. So the nomads already prepared for the worst but who could have thought that they really underestimated their enemy.
"kill!"
The mysterious man roared angrily showing his anger that could not be hidden it's also true because who would not be angry when they wanted you dead?
"Mmm!?"
Swoosh!
A bullet breaks through the air as it flies towards the mysterious man but the man dodges it easily. Bundles of bullets rain down from the top of the cliff which Kran amusingly crawl down in order to dodge.
"Crap! H-hey! Stop shooting his not here already!"
Kran cursed out loud as he tried to hide behind the tree while covering his wounds from the shot.
"God damn it!"
Kran said.
"Damn it! Just one Archaic miguelon did this to us"
"Just one of those lowly beasts!"
One of the nomads (homo sapiens apex of human evolution) spoke.
"Kran."
One of the chiefs of the groups spoke.
"I'm okay, Seae."
"He went that way. Go that way."
The man named Seae signaled the group to follow him as they went to the path the Archaic miguelon went.
Kran also follows the group while limply walks forward saying.
"Damn it!"
The group roared as they pursued the mysterious man while preparing a net to trap the guy.
The mysterious man with red and straight hair making it exceptionally good, run like a Guerrilla tactic. His eyes were blue as an ocean as if it can captivate everything, his stature looks like an average built. It was Michael.
"At what point did things start going wrong?"
"... Ahh yes at that time. I now know what they wanted to kill all of us the remaining archaic meguilon"
It was when the group of nomads wants to persuade our tribe to join them in order to rule the land but our leader did not want to so the nomads take advantage of their offerings to kill us which includes poisons in it.
Now, I am the only one left or is it? That girl... The one that I love the most... Betrayed me over him. But it seems like it's my turn to die now there's no turning back.
"Fight!... Fight till the end!"
------------------
Haaaa... Haaa... Haaa
Michael was fighting for an hour now and he does not know he still survives the barrage attacks of the enemy but he still grateful. He did not know how they got the information about his tribe he didn't even tell it to her.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Arrows rain down Michael made a rollover the ground then twist his neck side-ways.
Swoosh!
The arrow passes through his neck and embeds it to the ground.
Sigh...
"That was close! tsk!"
Michael tried to stand up but then he was unaware that what he was laying at was a ravine. Consequently, he fell and rolled over.
"Ahhh!!"
Michael tumbled all over as mud-covered all over his body accompanied by blood.
"T-that hurts a lot! Cough! cough!"
Michael look around it seems like the atmosphere gets getting colder he did not know where he was now but he still gets on his knees to stand up and look ahead he didn't even realize he had blood over his body and want to continue but he did not expect to see a scene that was so gored in his entire life. Plump heads of the monsters, liver scattered, and many drops of blood all around.
There was also one man at the center lying peacefully as if he was taking a rest. Michael could not tell if the man was dead or not but this scene could never be forgotten.
"W-what the hell!?"
Swoosh!
An arrow pierced through the air Michael could not react in time so he dodges while forcefully twisting side-ways and do a backflip to dodge the remaining arrows.
"Hahaha, there you are! Killing you directly is no fun so we decided to kill you slowly instead! look at you. You don't know this but your girl sold you to us and who could have thought that you are also one of the tribes we killed long time ago hahaha"
Michael gritted his teeth while staring at them anger rages in his heart but he could not do anything about the situation. There's no escape this time!
"Ahhhhh... I still remember the taste of that girl's body when the master gave her to us tsk... tsk... tsk. I hope If we finish the mission I can still taste her"
Michael's fist was bleeding while tears fall from the side of his cheeks. Remembering the times when they were together, the time when he was so gentle that he didn't even touch her. Or should he say she didn't want him to touch her. Gentleman be like.
Michael was saddened by the event but what could he do? There's no more left to him to live anymore.
'I'll just die', Michael thought.
Not knowing to everyone the man who they thought did the moment ago listen to their conversation. When Zoran was awake he can feel that there were big changes inside his body all the nerves, tendons, skin, and bones honed and became strong from the fight he had earlier.
Michael lowered his head down covering his saddened expression. He gripped the arrow that was embedded on his thigh with a sudden backward force the arrow got out from Michael's flesh. Michael winced as blood poured down from his flesh thigh.
The people surrounded Michael look at him astonishingly they whistled while the guy who spoke earlier took another arrow pointing at his lift leg.
Swoosh!
Drip! drip! drip!
Another arrow pierces Michael's right leg but he did not wince even a little which surprised the hunters.
Michael still rooted where he stood up he again he grabbed the arrow and pulled it up. They could see the flesh on his leg being ripped apart. It's so sad to watch but they don't care.
They are hired hunters and their job was to kill there is no turning back.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Another arrow shoots out but this time it was two and was pointed on his chest near his heart and his head.
Michael attempts to block them but was surprised that it contains ki. It would be harder for him to block them since it was much more different than a normal arrow.
With no other choice, Michael could only choose to block the one located on his head.
Bang!
"Cough... cough... cough!"
With his bare hands, he stops the arrow using all of his remaining ki but it was still not over yet the second arrow was still flying without stopping.
He could only pray that at least not his vital parts are affected.
Without them noticing a hand bare handedly caught the arrow that was flying forward. Swift and easy it stops right at Michael's chest.
The surrounding hunters around could not comprehend what was happening it was so fast that their eyes cannot cope up with the sudden event.
In case they did see it wrong they closed their eyes and open them but it was still the same the boy survive!
A warm soothing voice echoed around their ears. As Zoran spoke.
"If you were given a chance to live, will you take this chance?"
These words make Michael's ears ring a bell he dumbfoundedly looks at the man in front of him who was now looking at the arrow he caught. He still did not know what to do even his legs lost its strength anymore while thinking, 'I lived'.
"I guess... I'll take that as a yes"
