Roar!
Ahead was the Purple Lightning Tiger and behind was the Earthen Boar. Just why did this girl have to come here? Couldn't she have chosen any other direction to escape?
''You there!'' I called out, ''Go away from here. If you dare bring that dangerous kitten over here, I'll feed you to this boar behind me.''
To be honest, that was not even a threat. She was at Viscera Purifying first rank just like me, how could one be threatened by another practitioner at the same stage and rank?
''Ah, okay! I'll run to the left!''
''No wait, damn it!'' That was the direction the pond was in. Luck truly wasn't on my side this time.
I had no time to stay there and condemn my luck and curse this girl, though. The boar was catching up so I quickly activated my movement technique and ran behind her. I was, of course, faster and in no time got ahead of her.
