In the middle of the wilderness, a sudden blur shot through the woodland while leaving a red light trail that radiated from its eyes.
The person was of course, and I was currently pursuing a wasp that had attacked , yet after it had seen that I had dodged as well as gotten ready to counter-attack, it imdiately began to retreat to the thick parts of the woodlands.
However, while I simply did not care for the wasp, sothing had switched on a lightbulb within and I wanted to try out the idea that had just hit .
"If I can pull this off, the fight for a creature's bones might beco easier and swifter than I would have thought," I muttered aloud.
I continued to pursue the wasp, hoping that it would eventually tire, yet even that seed out of reach. Honestly, to , it seed like I might have tired out first and the chances weren't really in my favor either.
[Unknown energy is beginning to awaken...]
[Analyzing energy...]
[Analysis]
[Na: ??? (Unknown Energy)]
[Description: An energy that seems to be fueled by the user's emotions, primarily anger or thrill that transfers into an amplified killing intent or bloodlust depending on the situation. Mana can also be used to fuel the emotion, yet that is only a temporary and limited way of releasing this energy. This energy has never been seen before]
[Effects: Amplifies physical abilities? Most effects so far are unknown. Please I crease mastery over this energy to acquire more information]
"Well that's useful ain't it." I chuckled while struggling to breathe due to the air smashing into as I shot through the air.
I knew I had beco physically stronger in the last few days, but I didn't realize the sheer amount of change that had occurred within my body.
Before I would have struggled to jump from one root of a tree to the other, yet here I was now jumping from one tree branch to another without hesitation and without struggling for a second.
However, I did not have ti to think about these mild things. These analogies and theories about my strength can wait until I am strong enough to not have to worry for my safety everywhere I go.
As the red energy activated, I felt energized and drained at the sa ti and it did not take very long to find out why.
[Hp: 115/115]
[Mana: 5/20]
"It took 15 mana from just for this," I scread and panted at the sa ti, unable to believe that so much of my mana had been used for sothing seemingly so useless even though I didn't even know what mana was.
Yet even with the sudden exhaustion, the power that was running ramped within my body gave a new sense of invigoration allowing to push my body to its limits with one more jump.
My vision imdiately turned black and white while countless red structures... No, they weren't structures... they were plants and animals. All of them were shining with a distinct crimson red that allowed to identify the wasp even after having hundreds of trees between us.
While plants like the trees and grass had these channels that ran up and down their 'bodies', animals and other creatures with the smallest amount of sentience, while still having these sa channels, radiated a unique and striking aura/hue which the plants didn't have.
This hue left behind a trail that I could easily pursue without much of a hitch. On the sa note, it seed like the energy wouldn't dissipate any ti soon therefore also making my return easier than it would have originally been.
I slowly lowered my center of gravity towards one of the branches, crouching and placing both my feet firmly onto the 70cm thick branch.
In the next instant, my feet left the branch and my body turned into a blur.
The force of launch had been so powerful that the branch had been flung back before whipping forward and destroying two of the smaller nearby trees.
My body flew through the air at an unimaginable speed. I could barely breathe anymore, yet that was the least of my worries.
'I... miscalculated...' I tried to say aloud yet all that ca out was a muffled scream.
Thankfully, none of the trees in the area had been directly in the way of my trajectory, however, I still found myself missing branches by a hairsbreadth.
'I can see it.' My eyes began to widen in excitent, yet the wind pressure quickly forced to shut them tightly.
This did not stop from seeing however, instead, it had made my vision clearer while my field of view expanded to over 200°, allowing to see almost everything in front of as well as everything in my peripherals with crystal clear vision.
When I began to near the wasp, I also began losing speed and montum however, my arms and hands moved on their own, snatching towards a branch, spinning around while landing my feet on the side of the tree before once again shooting towards the wasp yet this ti using much less power than I had the first ti.
The power I used was more than enough though.
My fist had clenched into a tight fist while red energy covered it.
[Hp: 115/115]
[Mana: 1/20]
*BOOM*
And with a swing of my fist, I watched as the upper portion of the wasp's body exploded into remnants of its body.
Brain matter and blood splattered on one of the trees nearby and dyeing the leaves and the wood in the process with the color of its blood.
[You have killed a wasp]
[You have gained 10 EXP]
[Mastery over unknown energy: 0.01%]
I could see guts and other organs splattered all over the tree too, yet the two things that caught my attention more were both the pain in my hand as well as the new descending another half of the wasp.
I felt my feet land on another tree before I swiftly lunged up, half sorsaulted and landed at the bottom of one of the larger branches.
Since my body was upside down now, all I had to do was crank my head up to look at the falling half of the wasp before pushing myself off the bottom of the branch and launching myself downwards at a speed faster than the wasp's body's slow descent.
When I finally landed on the floor, I had the body tightly embraced to my body using my right hand, yet while I would have been annoyed by the amount of blood that landed on my body, I was too busy looking at sothing else.
"Let's test this out shall we." my face contorted a beaming smile, my eyes staring at the long pointy spike poking out on the bottom of the corpse's body.
