Chapter 11 - Hunter and the Hunted

After that object joined With the dagger, Mazak saw that the barrier surrounding the cottage was fading and Mazak quickly went to check the a dragon egg in case the egg was damaged or in danger but to his relief nothing was wrong with the egg.

Mazak realised that his bag could carry anything and he could pull anything out with his system, Mazak thought to himself that If he could place the egg in the bag, anything large could go in there.

He picked up the egg and carefully placed it in the bag and 'voila' the egg has been successfully placed in the relatively small bag compared to the eggs huge size.

Mazak also wanted to name his clone since he didn't know what to call him and he needed to use him, so without wasting much time Mazak summoned his clone and notified," right, from now on I'll call you Leo as it's the best I could think of right now and I'm going to give you a round shield with a sword once we get back home"

"Yes master, and was there another reason you called upon me?" Replied Leo.

"Ah yes I need you to go hunt some game (food) and bring it straight back to the bear since I'll head back home on foot also if you get near where the army last was be sure to study them and try to understand who they're going to attack" commanded Mazak.

After Mazak told his command, he instantly started running which turned into sprinting which then turned into teleporting long distances in an instant.

'Wait!, when could I teleport?' Mazak questioned himself.

'You have been able to teleport for the past day ever since you blew everything up in the cave. You gained the skill from slaying 2 peak S-rank demons in under 5 seconds' system replied.

The systems voice sounded similar to Siri but combined with Alexa, anyway back to the story.

Mazak was already half way back home when he realised he was inside a large tornado, it didn't really occur to him that anything was wrong until a tree was flung into the sky. Mazak had decided to do a daring stunt since a tornado rarely appears here.

He teleported to the centre of the tornado and allowed himself to be picked up, after a minute or two he was finally flung up above the clouds and skydived as far as he could with the tornado chasing him, Mazak has had to dodge many trees and some big boulders as they may stop him.

As Mazak was skydiving, Leo was hunting a large creature, almost dinosaur looking. Just as he was about to kill the creature a small platoon of soldiers had rushed through the woods and scared most animals away, as they were running from something.

Leo found the closest animal to him, killed it humanely and quickly dashed back over to the bear and dropped off its food, then hid in a tree nearby to see if the army was heading this way.

As he expected the platoon was heading to the cottage however they must've had a fight with a powerful creature as most of the soldiers were injured and almost all of their gear was damaged and some were broken.

"Master, I have located a small platoon of soldiers who have detached from the main army and they appear to be injured and they appear to be running away from something, what are your orders?" Disclosed Leo.

"Continue watching them and if the anything dangerous comes deal with it but hide your identity" commanded Mazak.

Leo had made a bandana out of bushes and trees nearby and waited for the beast that managed to scare an army.
