Hearing a low thud from its left side, it turned its head and saw a blade stuck in one of the trees and implanted deeply into the wood itself.
Its eyes widened while its head perked up the mont it felt a sense of danger coming from the other side, making it only capable of guessing what was about to hit it.
*ROOOOOAAAAR*
It quickly let out another roar, yet instead of aiming at sothing specific, it had simply aid for the ground.
*BOOM*
I could only watch as the enormous creature was catapulted into the air before it began to turn and look at from the sides of its eyes, yet still incapable of fully facing due to it being unable to turn its head any more than it had already done.
Seeing this, I kicked forwards once again and dashed to the side, getting out of the T-Rex's line of sight while also taking a dagger out to complete my next move.
Without hesitation, I grabbed the hilt of my blade and threw it like a javelin towards the eye of the T-Rex after calculating how long it would take for it to turn, shift, and finally reach the right place and angle for to throw the dagger.
*Pitu*
*ROOOAAAR*
The T-Rex let out another roar followed by a sound wave, yet since it didn't know what direction I was in, it could not find which direction I had moved in and randomly picked an area to obliterate.
'To think half of the trees around us had fallen just because this filthy creature lost one of its eyes. Honestly pathetic.' I scrunched my face up in disdain as I landed back onto the ground after distancing myself from the T-Rex to not allow it to feel my presence around it, nor hear the sound of my footsteps or movents.
'There is an injury on one of its scales that with enough force, will allow to deeply impale it with my poison spear and kill it, yet due to where the scale was, it would beco extrely hard accurately locate and confirm the scale's existence.
'I need to get closer without getting hit... Think Ezra, think! What would I have done if the creature in front of was an elf?'
'Where are you?' The creature once again used its ability that allowed it to speak into the minds of other people in their language nonetheless.
Even though I didn't say a single word, I felt its eyes move closer and closer to my location before eventually...
"Found you..." Its voice bood, barely giving enough ti to roll into safety and evade the sound attack by a hairsbreadth.
'Think!' I shouted at myself. What would have Dad done? He's a fighting genius, right? What would have he done if he was in this situation with the sa amount of power as ?' I asked myself while dodging continuously and evading all the sound waves coming my way by simply feeling out the dread and moving in the direction it willed to move.
'Think! Think!' my life flashed before my eyes whole the dread reached the sa level it had reached when I died to it the first ti.
'I'm not about to die to this thing... Not know and not ever!' I positioned my legs into a running one which would allow to gather a burst of energy from the start whole giving a boost in montum that wouldn't stop until my sprint was over.
*Boom*
*Swoosh*
My body turned into a blur for the umpteenth ti today, but instead of evading as I had done for the last 7 minutes or so, I instead ran straight at the danger while wielding my spear.
"So you've lost your mind now!?" It asked with mockery. Simultaneously, it used the sound that ca out of its mouth to direct another attack toward , shooting a sound wave that decimated the ground and left a trail wherever it moved.
Unlike the creature in front of , however, I knew exactly what was going to happen.
Using the combination of both the dread I was feeling as well as my eyes, I quickly rolled to the side before it could even shoot the attack at .
*Boom*
Even then I didn't completely avoid the attack since I couldn't move and react in ti, but after cranking my head back to see what was left of the area the sound wave hit, I could only sigh in relief and run as fast as possible.
*Roar!*
The T-Rex let out several roars and aid all of them at .
Feeling the dread beforehand, I found that the only way was to duck, causing to jump up to gain montum before sliding down and narrowly evading the attack.
'How do you keep dodging! You're not even that fast!' It roared into my mind, yet answering its question was the least of my priorities.
I kept dodging by rolling, ducking, and sliding away from the attack, and while I would still feel the shockwave, it was a lot better than being hit directly.
I was now around 20 ters away and I could even feel the intense killing intent coming out of the creature in front of like never before.
I quickly analyzed it with my eyes, trying to find a weak point until...

[Cost: 1 mana per minute]
Without hesitation, I activated my new skill 'pinpoint', and imdiately dashed to the left to dodge the incoming strike.
I could see my vision flicker for a bit, but after a while, I couldn't it stabilized and allowed to look at the T-Rex. Now that I had the skill and had activated it, many of the things that I had been struggling to see beca a lot more clear now.
All the areas, from the eyes to the throat lit up with a distinct red cross on that area.
I quickly dashed forwards once again, yet this ti it wasn't intentional.
I felt like my body was moving on its own even though it was technically doing what I desired to do. It was following my desires and forcing to move forward, and so I did...
Images of places and mories I've never experienced or seen before appeared in my mind while simultaneously, an uncontrollable killing intent left my body and seeped into everything around , shaking them to the core.
'This killing intent...' The T-Rex shuddered but wasn't too bothered by the sudden change in the atmosphere until...
'Why does everything have a red tint to it?' It thought to itself before a screen only I was familiar with appeared out of thin air in front of it for no one by the T-Rex to see.
[Your fate has been sealed]
[The Immortal Ezra ----- has activated 'Deathlock']
'Huh? What is that supposed to a-' It couldn't even finish its thought since the aning of those words hit it like a truck without warning.
A suffocating killing intent dropped onto its shoulders with the weight of the moon, making it unable to move a single inch while watching close the distance between us within re seconds.
It wanted to open its maw but it couldn't.
It wanted to roar and get out of this situation but it couldn't.
It wanted to survive but... It seed like its fate had been locked and it knew that.
For so reason, its mind automatically believed the system like a ssage but it still tried to find a way to survive and struggle until the end.
I on the other hand was becoming more numb. My movents all felt wasteful and aningless, while the spear in my hand felt lighter than it had ever felt before.
Suddenly, it felt like a beam of white light hit before finding myself in a completely different location.
I felt suspended, trapped and unable to speak, move or think freely. All I could do was observe in the state that I had been put in, yet unlike what I would feel whenever I died, this ti I could actually see through the eyes of sothing... Or soone?
A man, or at least what looked like one, stood atop a mountain of corpses and held a Suguyari spear in his right hand while simply holding his left palm out in a way that would signify he was ready to battle anyone who stood in his path.
[Author's Note: I am well aware that a Suguyari is a Japanese weapon. This note will make sense next chapter]
