When Zane shot the lethal arrow, he thought that it will kill the Blood Jackal King. Unfortunately, the Blood Jackal King has a strong vitality and tough bones. With an arrow to monster's eyes, it left it permanently blind. However, it wasn't able to penetrate its brain.
"Awwwooohhh'
"GET THE HECK OUT OF THE WAY!"
Last thing he saw before running was the Blood Jackal King dashing towards him with a killing intent.
Hearing the howl behind, it doesn't take a smart person to figure out that the Blood Jackal King is summoning its minion to hunt him. The only thing he can do really is run as fast as he can. The only way to not get surrounded is to just run.
He was thinking that he can shoot arrows while moving. However, although it would really look on the outside, but it is just plain stupid. His enemy has a higher agility than him and any thought of slowing means death.
Fully concentrating on his surroundings, he put all his strength to his legs. Meanwhile, he was debating internally if he can use the crowd to lose the Blood Jackal King. Although it is a bit shameful and cruel, if there is no choice then he will have to do it. Many would have died if he did not block the incoming wave. If he dies then, then it will only be a matter of time before everyone in the area to get annihilated. But if he is able to kill it, then more will be able survive.
The good thing is that the Blood Jackal King is wounded and its speed is less than his. However, he can feel that it is getting faster and faster, he knew that with its constitution, it is regenerating. Furthermore, there are still about two hundred Blood Jackal chasing him.

Meanwhile, when William was thrown to the ground by the Blood Jackal King, it was Old Gramps that run to him first. The first thing he saw on William's body were the 5 claws holes that pierced his chest and heart. He knew that with this wound, it is impossible to survive.
William seeing Old Gramps, he smiled and said his final words, "I will go first old friend." With this, he closed his eyes for eternity.
Many were saddened with his passing. But Old Grams woke them up with his roar.
"To arms! Follow the kid!"

After running around for about 10 minutes, he is now very exhausted. He tried to find a way to shoot the Blood Jackal King whenever he can but it was still to agile. His minions left Zane no way to shoot a clear shot.
.There were also times that some were able to caught up to him and cornered him.The good thing is that with his swordsmanship, he was able to defend kill a Blood Jackal King in one hit.
"Forgive me but there is no other choice," Zane decided to go with his backup plan.
Tilting his head, he saw that there are soldiers coming from the southern arena running towards him. Finally, he found hope. Without hesitation, he went directly to the group.

Few moments ago, Marc was amazed on what he saw. A brown haired kid, not even full grown was running away from a humanoid and hundreds of Blood Jackals.
"What a daunting kid, he is dragging away a whole army by himself!"
"That kid is not even probably in his twenties"
"The heck the adults doing? They let a kid drag the Blood Jackals by himself?"
"What a stupid kid! But look at his speed! What a runner!"
"Boss save the kid! He deserves to live!"
Many were amazed and gave their good impression on Zane. They did not know that he wasn't that as heroic as it sound. Meanwhile, even Marc would hesitate to do what Zane is doing. He can feel the pressure and terror coming from the humanoid beast.
"PREPARE YOUR WEAPONS! LETS GO!" Marc ordered his full company.
Zane was running full speed but he is already at his limit.
"Shit! Helllppp!" Almost there!
Suddenly, his full body shook and screaming to move his body to the side, otherwise he will never see the light of the day. Without hesitation, he dodge to his left side. A huge claw tore towards the ground. This claw is very brutal it would split him into half if he did not dodge it.
Putting a little bit of distance, he thought that there is no point on running anymore. Running will just make him more vulnerable. Zane dropped his bow and arrows on the ground. He grabbed the closest best two swords next to him.
Previously, when he was running around, he was continuously looking for a better weapon. With hundred thousands of people watching the arena, it is almost quite impossible for him to bring out or store a weapons from his inventory. The only weapons he can hide are daggers and other small weapons where he can easily slip on his long sleeve and silently store it.
He looked at the Blood Jackal King eye to eye.
Name: Blood Jackal (King)
Level: 9
Vital Sign: Wounded (Berserk)
Strength: 8.8 (6.3)
Agility: 9.7 (8.4)
Perception: 6.5 (4.2)
Constitution: 7.9 (6.7)
Mana...Skills...
He look at the Blood Jackal Kings stats. Although it is wounded, highly likely, that he will still get killed with one hit.
Zane breathed in and out, relaxing his muscles and calming his mind. Now, the only way to survive it is through the knowledge he gained from the skill points. Adding the skill point to the Swordsmanship it made him a master of all basic sword styles.
Because of the Blood Jackal King wounds, Zane now has the advantage of higher perception and comparable agility points. Zane found out that Perception is very important. It boosts not only the 5 senses but also the overall brain function. Combining both, his reflex and battle power improved as well.
