"Is there something that you're hiding from me Dr." , Irene asked.
"Why do you think so," said Dr. Tressa.
"You both have been acting really weird lately, so there must be a reason. Is that something that I must not know?"
"I already told you everything that I knew but today when he was talking with us, his mind was somewhere else and he didn't want us to know where he was really going. That was strange, don't you think so," said Dr. Tressa.
"But why did you let him go so easily in that condition, he might pass out anywhere," said Irene.
"I wanted to see where he was going but as soon as he reached this spot of the city I have lost his track. It's happening just like yesterday, the place is the same from where I lost his track yesterday, said Dr. Tressa.
"Then he might be in trouble, we have to find him soon," Irene said.
"That's why I put my badge in his jacket, it will take some time but we will eventually find out where he is."
*******
Aurel's eyes slowly started becoming heavy but he desperately tried not to pass out this time. He stumbled on the ground and fell down.
"Look at you, trying to act all strong, huh. You are not going to die anytime soon." She went to Aurel and brushed her hand all over his body and in a matter of minutes, his wounds began to heal and scars vanished. Although his head was ringing, he was slowly recovering from the pain. Soon he was standing on his feet without feeling any pain in his body.
He looked all over himself, his whole clothing was covered with blood but there were no wounds. He couldn't believe his eyes. He was strong as before.
"How did you do it, was it any type of healing ability," he said looking up at the woman but to his surprise she was gone too.
He looked here and there but she was nowhere to be seen. He hit his foot hard on the ground -"BAM," in frustration. "Just who the hell are you," he shouted.
A notification popped up-
"You will now be teleported to Tridus for your new quest."
Before he could think or say anything, he was standing in a complete different place than the last time.
Last time, he was teleported to a desert like area with little or no vegetation but this time he was surrounded with large mountains with volcanic rocks. To some, it might look like they have really come to hell. The sky was reddish orange filled with fumes of ashes coming from the volcanic eruptions. Even though they looked scary he was at a very safe distance from the volcanoes.
Another notification popped up-
<<"Walk 33 steps forward towards the blue arena.">>
Without a second thought he moved 33 steps and this time again he was inside a blue sparkling circle.
<<"You'll be equipped with lv. 2 armor and lv.2 weapon.">>
Like the last time he was equipped with an armor, it was a bit more advanced with a few spikes over its edges and center but it still looked like an ordinary armor plate and weapon but this time his weapon was a different one, it was a weapon which he had never heard or seen, it was a combination of a dagger and a nunchaku.
Although he had never used something like this before he was quite excited since he was the most interested in the weirdest kinds of weapons.
While he was taking a look at his weapons, he could see an animal coming towards him. He was not surprised or afraid like before since it was a medium sized creature which looked like an adult Compsognathus (dinosaur).
His stats table appeared-

His opponents stats table appeared too-

He found it strange that this time the race was also displayed as it wasn't there before. Nonetheless, he focused on the creature which looked hungry. A colorless liquid was falling down from his mouth which looked gross. It was the size of an average hyena but with sharper teeth and a large round face like an antelope.
The creature dashed forward and jumped over him but as soon as it reached in the attacking range, Aurel took this opportunity and hit the dagger on one of its eyes. The creature grunted in pain. Its stats went down by nearly 35%.
A sly grin appeared on his face. This would be very easy to defeat. (Aurel thought to himself)
But the creature was very quick to recover. It took a few steps back and dashed forward with even greater speed but this time instead of jumping it quivered out its tongue and it was so fast that Aurel didn't have any chance to react. It teared upon the armor and bruised Aurel's chest.
He was startled at the speed. His stats were nearly halved.
But he noticed that the tongue worked like a whip. Although it was nothing as compared to that woman's whip attack, it still was very fast and powerful.
Now he understood the use of the weapon. He quickly held the end of the nunchaku and as soon as the creature again quivered out it's tongue he moved his nunchaku in the same direction, he was able to counter the attack to a great extent.
It didn't hit the tongue properly while his wrist was injured. The creature lost its power and strength by only 4% and 7% respectively while Aurel lost nearly it's double. The creature now leading points.
He noticed that after the creature quivered its tongue out it wasn't able to steer it in any other direction.
He tried to dodge the next few attacks and successfully dodged the next three but on the 4th attempt he was already close enough to hit the creature with the dagger.
The creature pounced on him from the side but he was quick enough to hit one of the legs of the creature. This proved fatal for the creature as it's stat point declined by almost 30%.
Both the stats were now almost the same.
Continuous attacks on him had led him to wear off a little but still he was at a much better condition than yesterday.
The creature dashed forward and rolled on the ground like it was a ball. Aurel attacked it but this time it avoided the attack and in a split second it was behind Aurel pierced its claws right into his stomach.
The creature didn't stop at this and quivered out it's tongue but Aurel was ready with his nunchaku, he threw the nunchaku at its tongue and stuck the dagger on a rock, the creature was unable to move and with his fist he crushed the head with just one punch.
"BAM."
The creature lay dead in front of him soaked with reddish blue blood.
