How was he able to inflict such a big wound without me noticing. Not to maintain that it came from behind, so how did he wound me at front?
As blood started flowing from my wound in an uncontrollable amount, the drool dripping from the monster increased.
Immediately I held the wound with my left hand, trying to stop even a drop of blood that would help me last longer.
The wolf pounded at me with his hind legs stretched forward.
I didn't think for a moment as I rolled to my right, immediately getting up I started running.
*Roar!*
Looking at the monster chasing after me, I couldn't help but wondered how it has gotten slower after the leap, but I didn't have much time to ponder over the matter as I saw it closing the distance.
My injured arm was slowing me down so I used the space between the trees or trees with low branches to run, trying to slow down the wolf as much as I could.
The sound of its footsteps got closer, the barrier was still some distance away, if this continues I would be caught before I reach there.
I looked around trying to find something that could help me..
Looking at the big tree to my left, I ran to it at full speed, I could see the wolf a few steps behind me.
A few steps away from the tree I put pressure under my right leg ready for a jump, and so was the monster capturing my every moment with its red eyes.
Is this.. beastly instincts.
If I jump it would catch me in the mid air landing on top of me or so was what it thought..
Bending my right knee forward I didn't let my left feet paw leave the ground, leaning my chest to the left. I let gravity do its job as my body rolled left on the ground. My eyes caught glimpse of the monster's body flying straight to the tree.
*Baam!*
I didn't even take a look back as the filling leaves were enough to prove what has happened.
Holding the wound with my now dust-filled hands, I ran straight to the barrier.
That should buy me some time, if I stop it just one more time.. then I would get away.
Or so did I thought..
But here I am laying in my pool of blood and flesh, looking at my death approaching me while praising it..
It didn't take the bait but rather figured my destination, and waited for an ambush at its predicted location.
I should have taken a detour. Though none of these thoughts has any use now, even if by some god sent chance the monster chooses to leave me the blood loss will kill me anyway.
As my vision was getting more blurry, and unconsciousness was embracing me..
*Ding!*
*Ding*
*Ding!*
*Din.....
Sounds of notifications like the one I received during the quest filled my ears, followed by my vision covered with one screen after another.
«The starlers have taken int...»
Unfortunately, I couldn't read any further as unconsciousness embraced me completely.
By one way or another..
At least..
The hell ended.
