Unknown to the danger Ryan rome around the gloomy forest. He didn't behave the same way when he was in the safe zone, he was on high alert as every monster from here on will not be weak like horn rabbit, they all will be normal tier or even higher, so recognising the danger Ryan continued to use his Sense to it's full capacity as he move further inside.
He was moving in a slow pace when suddenly, the leaves in the front shook a little.
Stop.
A shiver ran through his spine, as he felt a intense killing intent coming from the bushes in the front.
Ryan don't know what was behind those bushes but he was sure it was dangerous and the beast has already set his eyes on him as its prey.
Knowing that it was no use hiding from the monster he walked out from behind a three feet thick tree and look towards the cause of the killing intent.
Infront him were two human like green figures standing beside each other.
They were beyond ugly to look as thier face was full of rinkal and puss on thier screen. Their hight was same as Ryan and a little more muscular then him.
Holding sharp, hand made spear in thier claws like hand.
Lessar Goblin.
One most common type of normal tier monster found in this area. They are the variant of the goblin race found in the vampire kingdoms, these lessar goblins, unlike their advance space counter parts they are less smart and are very primitive in thier nature.
Inside this forest they were not the strongest in term of physical strength but even then they were one of the most blood thirsty predator inside this forest, as they were smart and worked in groups to hunt their preys, plus with thier mana core formation inside thier heart, even with thier average body strength, they can use fire & water attacks.
" Even then, they are the best opponent's for me..."
No matter what great predators they were inside the forest and how they can use elemental attacks to wound him. Ryan was not afraid of them, as his power of time acceleration was the best counter to these lesser goblins who had physic similar to human beings.
Unlike the animal type monsters who has huge body and lots of vitality in it, these goblins were much better preys for Ryan who lack explosive powers.
With proper care Ryan could kill these lessor goblins, much easier then an animal monsters.
" And above else it was quite rare to find these species without a small group... " If doesn't act now then, he might miss out this rare chance to increase his mana capacity.
Looking at the human standing near the tall tree, the goblins got excited and started running towards him. Aiming their spear at his body.
Observing the lessor goblins running towards him, he didn't panicked and stood his ground, holding his damaged iron knife he waited patiently for them to get closer, so that he could time his ability properly.
But unlike his expectations change happened when the goblin running in the front activated it's mana code. Mana flowed inside it's body and increase the strength of its thin muscles beyond its capability.
With bulge muscles....., the lessor goblin threw its spear in mid's of running.
Although Ryan was prepared for any suprise attack, the spear came so fast that he couldn't even react when it passed through his right shoulder.
" Aaaaaaaaahhh "
He screamed in great pain as blood gash out from a fist size hole. His right arm was almost torn apart by the attack. Luckily his hands were still attached but looking at gaping hole in his shoulder, Ryan's heart beat started running at an abnormal pace considering the possibility if the spear aimed a little left then that hole would have been in his skull.
Seeing that his partner missed the head of the weak human. The lessor goblin behind the enhance goblin, raised his free hand aiming at the human and activated his mana core.
As the mana flowed from it's heart, a small concentrated fir ball appeared infront of his green plam.
" AEarsbz BdhdhCcnh.--- " Shouting in its beastly voice. It shot out its fire ball towards the scorny human.
Seeing the fire ball flying towards himself Ryan panicked and activated his time acceleration ability on his survival instinct.
The goblin which had a viscous smile on its hideous face was now almost in a frozen state, as they were now moving at snail pace, according to Ryans perception.
' I shouldn't have underestimated them so much' he thought inside his head as he looked at the lessor goblins.
Due to his over confidence, he almost lost his live in this small forest. If he didn't had his time acceleration ability then he was sure that he would have died right here.
" Well it was an important lesson that i'll never forget.. " Shaking his head, Ryan activated his second function of his time acceleration and got the ability to move inside this slow world for ten seconds.
Able to move now, Ryan ran fast and stood infront of the enhance lesson goblin and thrust his damage iron knife inside it chest.
It was a little difficult to penetrate it chest with his knife, he still press forward and dug out it heart from its body.
" Its the end for this guy " He said while holding the fist size heart in his hand.
Six seconds passed, killing the first lessor goblin.
Even though he knew that it was hard to kill the enhance lessor goblin, Ryan still killed it first as he was vary of its strength. A body type ability was rare in the goblin race and the worst enemy for Ryan, who was physically weak.
Throwing the heart in the side, he went for the spell caster lessor goblin.
Without wasting anymore time, Ryan did the same to the lessor goblin and dug out its heart within his time duration.
Taking the heart of the spell casters heart, he went left side further away from the lessor goblin.
0... His abilities casting got over and the perception of time finally went back, to the way it was.
Thud. Thud.
As the time perception went back to its normal flow, the running lessor goblin crashed down on the ground, without them knowing how they died.
" Phwee~ ....I should take the heart and move away from this place..., as they might attract the attention of various more monsters.."
Even though he was injured and needed to take care of it fast, he still can't stay in this place for long.
So taking the warm heart of the two lessor goblins. He went back to the safer zone, from were he came from. Their he could check his injury properly and get proper rest after his fight.
~Whistle.... ~Wihstle...
While doing a light jog in the woods he heard weird sound coming its way from the right side.
Ryan couldn't see what was comming so fast towards him but for sure it was not a good thing for him.
Not wasting any second he once again activated his time acceleration skill once again.
The world once again slow down in his eyes....
Looking at the source of the whistling sound. He saw a spear made up of rock moving towards him with break neck speed. If connected with target, it will surely obrilate him to prices.
And behind that moving projectiles he saw a five meter big monster running towards him, with craze expression on its beastly face.
The five meter big monstrosity was bulldozing it was by trampling every single tree in its way.
Shiver.... A chill ran through his spine when he saw the huge figure running towards him.
What was comming towards him was one of the most terrifying monster of this forest.
Roar. Roar.
Even with its slow perception being activated he could feel the strength behind the slow roar. He could feel the earth vibrates under his feets.
Ryan didn't even think to retaliate against the monster and activated his second function of his ability and started running towards the City, with his injured body.
He had seen which monster had made him it's prey and for that he used his ultimate trump card right that instent. Not wanting to be present their when the monster reach his place.
' Tyrant Bear '
It was one of the deadliest High-tier beast in the dark forest. They were so dangerous that normal weapons couldn't make scratch on it tough hide, due to which the military and the families would always send thier strong ability user's party for hunting it.
He didn't knew why it came from the deep forest to this area but he knew if he even think to fight it he will surely die by it's ferocious teeths.
Suppressing his pain Ryan slowly jog through the wood, wanting to leave the area as soon as possible.
Ryan ran as fast as he could inside the slow world and was already hundred meters away from his original position, but still it was not enough distance to be safe by this high tier monster.
Tyrant Bear.... It was a species of bear type monsters which was proficient in earth element spells.
This variant of bear had an ability to sense the vibration of ground around itself.... it's range was of around three hundred meters, inside it's range they can find the prey and use earth control ability to trap the prey.
If Ryan wants to be safe from the attack of the tyrant bear, he has to atleast cross over one kilometer of distance.
But the problem to that plan was time, to cross over hundred meters in the slow world with his injured shoulder, it took him about five seconds of his time duration. Reaching his goal of distance was almost impossible for him.
Even so, all hope was not all gone, he still had a way to increase the duration of time being inside the slow world.
" I never wanted to use this dangerous method in this forest ..~Sigh .. "
