My eyes squinted towards the direction it had co from, allowing to see a mildly feathery bird flying high and raining down razor-sharp feathers like the ones that had just slashed my cheek and forced blood to be drawn out of .
"Now... How the hell am I supposed to attack that thhing if it is so high in the air?"
The bird quickly let out a cry as if taunting , causing to furrow my brows in anger and clench my teeth as my piercing eyes glared at it flying above .
It continued to shower in its razor-sharp feathers yet it seed like its ain wasn't the best since barely any of them actually ca towards or even got close to hitting .
A low squeak left the mouth of a creature under , forcing to look down just to see a mouse half the size of a lion looking up at with ferocious eyes as a feather stabbed into its back and locked it in place.
"You think I did that?" I pointed at myself with a chuckle, as if I had completely forgotten about the anger that had boiled within my blood a few seconds earlier.
"Hmm?" As if I was just reminded of the situation I was in, I instantly moved my head back and watched as a feather shot past .
The feather, while looking like a normal white feather that just happened to fall from the sky with a velocity that did not match its design, also had sothing else that looked weird about it.
The feather shone with a specific luster as the lights of the sun reflected off it as if it was so kind of tal or reflective crystal.
"Well, that explains why they are so hard" I once again chuckled to my own joke before once again narrowing my eyes into a cold and serious expression.
"How do I deal with you... Oh wait, can't I just run into a part of the forest with more dense trees and a short canopy? That way it would never be able to attack without coming down from its flight, sothing I am willing to bet it won't do" I concluded as I jumped to the ground and was imdiately attacked by sothing to my right.
I of course already knew that it was there even with my red vision, sothing that I hadn't gotten used to anyway, gone. I wasn't about to base my entire strategy on getting back to the skull ho I now situate myself in, one sothing one-ti vision trick that happened to activate at a ti I needed it.
I had already morized and even left marks on the places I traveled past and I was going to continue doing so until the bird loses chase of .
Anyway, I quickly stabbed my spear to the right without looking at what the threat was. The dread that ca from the thing was low anyway, aning that it was probably a weak creature anyway and the danger was only temporary since I wouldn't have known where it was without the dread.
I instantly started sprinting in the direction of the thicker woods, and the direction that happened to be where I had 'spawned' after dying for the second ti in my existence.
The sound of running water imdiately hit my ears and I chose to avoid that area entirely since chances were that there would not be any trees around the river itself.
"The waterfall is a little far from her but I should be able to got there in an hour or so." I muttered under my breath, my expression as cold and calculating as the ti I followed the reptile creature that had attacked a few days ago.
A few creatures popped out here and there yet, for the most part, they weren't much of a problem for .
I would just stab them through the throat before using my other hand to rip their heads off. So of them were a bit harder to kill causing to slow down and almost get hit by the feathers a few tis, but for the most part, the journey was quiet.
*Qauwk!*
I could tell the bird was getting frustrated, and as if that was a sign, a began hearing the sounds of crashing water up ahead, causing to smile lightly while taking one last glance at the bird flapping its wings wildly trying to hit with its remaining feathers.
Of course, it had not been shooting the whole ti and instead, had been shooting at intervals and whenever I slowed down or whenever it had a clear view of , yet all it had done was give 2 scratches that had stopped bleeding 30 seconds after being cut.
I swiftly ducked and rolled behind one of the nearby trees and allowing it to take the brunt of the attacks before running once again, trying my best to dodge any of the remaining feather attacks that were shot.
When I had finally run-up to the cliffside of the waterfall, I crouched down, bent my legs, and used all the strength within my legs to leap a few dozen ters before barely landing on a tree itself, not a branch.
This did not scare much however since I imdiately used my spear to stab into the tree, holding myself up in place and making sure that I would not fall.
"On the topic of being tired..." I panted while continuing a conversation that I had with myself while running. "I haven't slept in over 24 hours. No wonder I feel so sleepy all of a sudden." I tried to chuckle, yet it ca out more forced than I thought it would have.
At the sa mont, I felt a shiver go down my spine as the dread reached another level, yet I knew that was the sign I was waiting for.
The once majestic bird was now featherless as it penetrated through the high canopy of trees and shot down, yet before it could halt its movents to look for , it saw movent in the distance wearing a white shirt with a huge red mark on the back and front.
Its excitent took over its emotions and caused it to flap its wings as hard as it could without a single bit of hesitation.
The bird imdiately turned into a blur as it moved across the forest, dodging trees and branches in the way until it was finally in front of the thing that it had been chasing for several days now.
However, its eyes widened when it saw what it had charged at. A branch about 6ft tall with two smaller branches entering the holes where my arms were supposed to be, while the larger branch went from the bottom to the top.
Of course, it looked nothing like , yet due to its emotions and the fact that it was looking at from a distance, the only thing that mattered to it had been the color of my shirt.
Before it could move, it felt its whole body shake violently in fear.
Its eyes widened even more in desperation, while its wings tried their hardest to flap and get out of the situation, yet its reaction was a little too late.
A piercing pain shot through its body, its epicenter being its right wing as a pierced it with my spear that had beco a little loose after my last act of using it to stay on the tree.
The bird did not have enough ti, and simply could not move enough to get off its back so it only took another second to take out the spear and shove it into the other wing.
We destroyed several branches as the bird descended, yet not for a second did I care about the noise we made. The only thing on my mind was how I could kill the bird and I was already doing it.
The poison from the spear had spread deep into its bloodstream, now causing a painful burning sensation to pulse from every blood vessel as its heart struggled to beat.
It was letting out its final breaths while its body continued to be ramd and even pierced by the branches we fell on.
