With the tigers still on his heels, he grabbed the first fruit before storing it away and proceeded to the second one calmly. The tigers were so agitated that every move they made was full of bloodlust and killing intent. They aimed at his vitals but he was not in the slightest bit concerned about them as he dodged and ducked predictively missing their attack. They ended up injuring themselves menacingly with their own moves but they didn't turn away, instead, their fighting spirits risen to the skies. They were adamant on bathing in his blood. They didn't want the fruits anymore but his life.
When he was just about to grab the third fruit, he suddenly bended his body at ninety degrees missing the first obscured arrow strike . A continuous flow of arrows followed the first arrow forcing him to spare the other fruits and escape with the other two. On the other hand, the other beasts were not so lucky. He heard slow painful whimpering of the beasts behind him as he dashed meandering-like to the East without looking back.

Ryan sat down under a zeugen block after realizing that nobody was following him anymore.
" Phew! That was so close. " He sighed
He then munched the the two fruits ravenously to satiate his empty stomach.
" Mortal power stone gained +1 "
" Mortal power stone gained +1 "
He now have two mortal power stones and two mortal souls after filling his asking stomach.
" Who attacked me earlier? If I had not dodged that sneak attack before, I would have been dead by now. That person had to be at ancestral level to render even me helpless. I need to get stronger and search for that person for revenge. How dare they try to kill me in such a cowardly manner! " He was furious.
But he had to admit that the archer was talented. If not for his innate instinct and his magical footwork, that very first arrow would have assassinated him. He can only thank the heavens for giving him this heavenly movement technique that saved his life.
Before he can think of where he would run to next, he could suddenly hear the sounds of something scurrying towards him at a rapid pace. In a blink of an eye, a woman was right in front of him. This woman was astonishingly an identical older version of the girl he annoyed in the frigate while they were traveling to the academy. The only exception was that this woman was not an elf but a witch which made him deny the thought of her being that girl. Her appearance was like that of a human but her lively tattoos all over her body that were ever-moving made him judge her as a witch. He had already read alot about different races found in the immortal plane and their features in the elven academy's library before he came here.
" What a surprise? Have you come here to give my lonely self company? Come and sit down beside me, I am going to narrate to you a nice futuristic story about how I ruled this plane like a god and my several beautiful maidens who betrayed me for power. " He pretended to be calm and invited her beside him with a welcoming smile as if they were friends.
She scanned him coldly with a disdainful expression not accepting meeting such a infuriating weakling on her way. Her look became even more dirty after seeing his lustful gaze on her.
Do you know he had never fucked a woman since he came to this plane? That is more than two years for heaven's sake while not adding the twenty plus years he spent in that dimension. He was burning with desire for just looking at the carveous figure before him. Up until now, he can't believe that he was still a virgin.
" Hmph! Gobshite. Follow me to Nether and help me with some things! " She ordered impatiently without giving him a chance to negotiate with her.
His eyes narrowed while his face burning with rage.
The heck! You just found a stranger on the way and you start ordering him around, how? Follow you! Should you at least tell me some nice words that I want to hear about us to arouse me first? Or does she want to take me to a private area so that she can rape me to her satisfaction undistracted? She should ask for my consent first right?
The woman: (°?!°)
His face was red in embarrassment and rage. How dare she look down on him. Just ask but don't force me to accompany you, alright. He moved.
" You are too rush for overestimating yourself. " She said mockingly displeased by how a mortal dared to stand against her.
