Chapter 17 - Battle

Under the bright sunlight of noon, a few children were besieging a boy. The boy was running while battling. Suddenly a chaser sprinted forward and thrusts with his spear. Hearing a sound of a wind coming rapidly from behind, he instinctively duct down and rolled over.

As soon as he slowed down he was surrounded by seven children. Among them, four were holding swords, one was holding a spear and another was barehanded. Seeing that he was surrounded, they began to rapidly attack him. The spear-holding boy advanced first and thrust the spear from a low angle.

The boy was in a precarious situation. He stepped sideways and narrowly dodged the spear. Suddenly he saw a fist coming. He wanted to block but his reaction speed could not keep up with the speed of the punch. The punch solidly landed in his chest. But then something surprising happened. He used the force of the punch to rapidly retreat backward and jumped toward nearby bushes.

The attackers were astounded. They cautiously went towards the bushes. Even before nearing it, the spear user raised his spear high and threw it like a javelin towards the bushes. They watched closely but nothing came out. The two sword wielders also slashed the bushes. But still, there was no movement from the bushes.

Finding that there was no one under the bushes they started searching the surrounding. After searching for a while, there was still no result. So, they had no choice but to give up. They sighed despondently and left in a group.

After a while, a boy climbed down from a tree in a heroic manner.

'Thank god! They are still children. If they were even a little more cautious and patient, they would have found me.'

'But still, why the hell are they forming groups in the early stage. They nearly removed me from this game. Still, the next time I travel, I should carry my weapon.'

Fu** %$*&%* ^&%$&^, those children. They are so blood-thirsty at such a young age of five!

No, I can't think of them as a child. Anyway, I am also a child. There should be no problem for me to fight back. Anyway, even if I slashed them with my glaive they won't die. Next time I will show them the power of my three years of maniac training.

Today is the fifth day of the game. I simply got bored and wanted to explore the island. So, today morning, I swam across the lake arriving officially at the island. But, who would have thought that I would be chased for a whole day? The recent chase was the fourteenth chase I have suffered today.

These children are like mad dogs and they wield weapons like pros. I once tried to fight them. Unfortunately, I could only face four children at a time. Some of these children are too strong. It must be related to their talent.

I also battled against someone name Ye Feng. That guy was a maniac. He wouldn't even flinch while suffering from wounds and he got some insane stamina. I had no choice but to run away.

I don't want to exchange wounds for wounds. It hurts, you know? I am also not any kind of masochist.

Toiling for a whole day I found that most of the children already formed a group. These children are decisive and would fight anyone in sight. I couldn't even introduce myself properly. I only got to know that Ye Feng guy. And somehow, my mind is telling me that he is one of the protagonists.

His name is obvious, he looks resolute, he has strong talent and he trades wounds for wounds. It is the appeal of some protagonists!

'Hmm, It should be nearly afternoon. Guess I should go back to my temporary home. Anyway, how come there are sunlight and moonlight but no sun and moon. This world has some disturbing things.'

'Maybe I should hone my combat skills from tomorrow. I should become like an 'unrivaled in the same realm' type of MC. Then, I can be a one-man army.'

Hmm, some dialogues should be necessary.

Yes! That's it.

"If God comes, I will slaughter gods. If Buddha comes, I will kill Buddha."

Anyway, is there a Buddhist faction in this world? If not, then no problem. But if it is there then, I have to find out how it was established. I don't think Gautama Buddha is also a reincarnated being or is he?

I think I would come to some interesting conclusions.
