In the midst of the night, Neru was.running full speed, faster than a speeding truck. On his left side and right side, there were white figures on his trail. Their speed is not inferior to his.
'Fucking warmongers... And there's a hundred of them this time. What's the deal with them?'
Flicker!
Neru accelerated in a split second and reappeared fifteen meters forward. Just as he did so, two blurry white silhouettes appeared in his previous position.
Neru glared at them and cursed inwardly. 'if there's only five or ten. I'm still confident that I can take care of them. But a fucking hundred!? Just one them is already a damn headache!'
In this forbidden forest, Neru and the species of Warmongers extremely dislike each other. Neru doesn't like to deal with them since they are like a high-speed assassin and extremely slippery to kill. Actually, most of his movement techniques and assassination techniques were inspired by them. The principle of Warmonger's movements is to 'move silently like a feather but as instant as thunderbolt.
They were extremely lethal in their own right. Particularly, they like to operate at night and take advantage of the darkness. Each of Warmonger's are formidable assassins. However, the only Qi Refining realm in their group was their leader who was also the final boss that guards the alternative exit in the forbidden forest!
As Neru flickered again. His previous position was surrounded by four white figures in an instant. Suddenly, Neru's eyes widened as a dark claw appeared on top of the tree above him.
'Shit!'
Flicker!
Neru couldn't control the direction. His feet produced a slight crack on the ground and he catapulted forward with a sudden burst of speed.
Blood flowed from Neru's cheeks then his body collided with a tree. 'Damn it!'
Just like that, hundreds of silhouettes surrounded Neru. They didn't even wait to see Neru's state as they quickly charged at Neru with their black claws raised.
Neru felt the threat of death behind his back. This is the first time he really felt the aura of death. Without hesitation, he activated his eyes of death and stabbed the endpoint of the ground below him.
BOOM!
He, as a center, cracks instantly started to form in the blink of an eye and spread around.
In a few seconds, the entire ground collapsed. It was as if Neru directly destroyed a tectonic plate.
Three seconds later, the forest ground within 2 kilometers of the forest with Neru as a center began to crumble.
Some of the warmongers fell on their knees and some tried to balance themselves from all the intense shaking comparable to Earthquake.
On the other hand, Neru took this opportunity to launch an attack!
He flickered next to one of the warmongers that was having a hard time staying on its feet.
With a slash aimed at a line, the warmonger's body was split in half, along with a spurt of a fountain of blood.
'It's my damn turn.'
Neru continued flickering, as if immune to the shaking of the ground, and took another four Warmongers in the process before the rumbling stopped.
The entire ground on their feet had caved in! Almost 30% of warmongers were buried in the rubble while some were severely injured. As for the perpetrator of all of this?
Neru had long escaped and hid himself in one of the bigger cracks on the ground while panting.
He doesn't even have the energy anymore to move. 'Damn, that was close! The constant use of Flicker really drained me. It seems if I want to fight the final boss, I need to improve the efficiency of the technique to reduce energy consumption. Also, reduce the time it takes to flicker consecutively.'
With a sigh, Neru couldn't help but lean on the wall behind him. He was inside the crack so he couldn't see anything but darkness. 'Why would those fucks even chase me like I stole their wife? Maybe because I killed a lot of their kind throughout the years? It seems I couldn't go on anymore.'
'It's okay to fight three or seven. But fighting more of them is just too darned dangerous. Fuck it! I need to train more.'
Just like that, he felt his eyelids grew heavy. Following that, Neru fell asleep. As if without a care to the world.
...
The next day, Neru's eyes trembled as he felt the rays of the sun shine upon him... A yawn escaped his mouth. He couldn't help but feel his entire body sore.
Yesterday, he really pushed his body to its limit just to run away from the Warmongers. He even hit a tree with sudden acceleration which consequently broke some of the bones in his body and even two of his teeth!
It was only this time that he felt the pain. Neru touched his arm and his face contorted in pain. "Fuck!"
However, instead of groaning. A shit-eating grin split his face. "Hahaha! A blessing in disguise. I'm still mulling over how I would injure myself. Those bastards really pushed my limit... Though, I nearly died."
Being ganged upon by warmongers wasn't a pleasant experience. No matter how tough his body is now. He couldn't ignore the lethality of a hundred warmongers which were naturally born assassins.
Neru stood up with some struggle. Then, Neru's calves contracted as he gathered his strength in his lower body and jumped.
He scanned the surroundings vigilantly. However, as he saw no signs of Warmonger's activity, he finally relaxed. He began to take in on his eyes the damage he caused to the forest.
Everything within 2 kilometers of the ground collapsed along with the trees on them. That's the versatility of his eyes. He could even "kill" the very ground underneath them as long as he hits the endpoint.
It was an excellent application to turn the tables if his back was pushed to the corner. A shuffling of the deck or an UNO reverse card. An effective way to gain leverage over the terrain...
After all, he knew that the ground would collapse and produce a mini earthquake while his enemies would get caught off guard. Obviously, it would only work for enemies that haven't tasted it yet. It won't effectively work as well the second time because there would be no element of surprise anymore.
'Time to eat those Qi Refining meat.' Neru couldn't help but lick the corner of his lips.
It would be a new round of improvement for his physique!
