Dragging my new 5 meters long body through the forest, I could feel the change. Now, most creatures would immediately run upon sensing my presence. This made me quite satisfied with myself, thinking that I had advanced from a small insect that had to always hide, to a mini boss that scared away others.
While I was basking in this feeling, I stumbled upon a mighty black tree that looked incredibly robust and thought.
As I was looking at the big dark tree that was around 70 meters in height, I felt a strong urge to test my newfound strength.
Without a second thought, I decided to act on this feeling immediately.
Lowering my head and pointing my horns towards the tree, I dashed in a split second, leaving a strong 'swishhh' sound that came from the torn air.
In just 2 seconds, I was right before the huge tree, and with a monstrous momentum coming from putting my whole strength into this charge.
A strong screeching sound was heard, spreading in the area of one kilometer around me!
The tree, once standing tall and firm, was now floating in the air, its base blown to smithereens and the humongous trunk flung into the air a whole 20 meters!
With another strong thud, the tree hit the ground around 50 meters away from where I had stopped, this left a deep pit; dust and leaves flew everywhere, birds and small animals ran madly from the surroundings, leaving their burrows and nests; snakes sprung from bushes madly and hurriedly disappeared from the area.
Chaos, total and absolute chaos!!
After passing through the tree like it was air, I stopped in my tracks, taking in the destruction and chaos I had caused on a moment of thoughtless impulse.
I was shocked and thrilled at the same time that I had become this strong, this fast, it felt absolutely unreal.
Deep satisfaction appeared in the depths of my soul; courage and ambition started to appear, I felt like I was invincible under the heavens!!
I thought that with such strength, I could probably even take on a magical beast. This thought made me feel even more arrogant and dominating.
But sadly, this feeling didn't last very long, since soon after the chaos came to an end, an even more devastating one was about to follow.
A hill about 700 meters away from me started to tremble; the earth started to move, trees swayed like thin blades of grass in strong winds.
Booming sounds occurred one after the other and howling sounds from sacred animals created an eerie scene.
While slowly turning towards the hill that created this apocalyptic scene, a huge bear head with glowing purple eyes met my gaze.
Dust was still moving within the wind, swirling around the huge bear head. Its glowing purple eyes pierced through the veil of dust and debris, staring deep into my very soul.
My mind went into chaos, my soul started trembling from its very depths. A feeling of insignificance appeared inside my mind and I felt even smaller and weaker than an insect right now.
I repeated to myself that I was going to die this time, there is no escape, this is the punishment for not following my own advice of being careful and cautious just because of a moment of impulse, I had awakened such a beast!
As though it was able to feel my churning soul and was amused by it, the huge bear head blew some air from its nostrils; this simple act looked like an absolute disaster in my eyes.
Everywhere the air passed, trees got blown to pieces and the ground turned upside down; animals that were in the way were turned into a blood mist that was mixed with the debris, creating a scene from hell!
Finally, when it reached me, I was immediately blown away, thrown like a small pebble a whole 100 meters away, hitting dozens of trees and passing through them like air.
After crashing through the final tree, I felt a strong pain all around my body; even one of my legs looked bent and twisted, even though I wasn't seriously injured, this still hurt like hell!!
Ignoring the strong pain and my twisted leg, I slowly raised my head; I was prepared to see my death, the huge head appearing and swallowing me whole.
But to my surprise, nothing of the like came. The huge purple eyes looked bored at me with a tinge of pity in them.
After it looked once more, it started to slowly close its huge purple eyes, and its immense head started moving back to its original position; this action created another round of huge dust clouds and tremors.
After a few minutes, the dust had settled, and the huge bear head looked just like a normal hill, well, that is if one ignores the total destruction of everything in a 200 meters radius from it.
Seeing that that incomprehensible creature went back to sleep and left me alive, I finally had the mental power to have one clear thought.
How the heck did I survive!!
