This day was amazing, and I was happy.
I t a special (Indigo) ranked beast family, played with a baby golden deer, and received a special gift from him before parting ways.
A day that I started with a beautiful view of this large lake and willow tree.
I saw so beautiful creatures and so terrifying beasts.
I was happy that this day was going so well that I almost forgot sothing important.
'Hell will always be a hell, even if you see miracles inside it.'
I knew this was a harsh thing to say but, I couldn't say anything to deny that.
"Fuck you bastard! Why are you even chasing this!?" I shouted as I ran while clenching my other hand.
-Swish. Swish. Swish.
With bloody hands and torn back with a large, deep cross scar, I panted.
Those things would be alright and I could heal them, but the most devastating thing in this situation was that I can't use any magic right now.
Even though I was running, the surrounding area seed to have stopped.
I was running with all my might from the large tree chasing after .
A large tree-like beast that chased after like I was just the thing he was waiting for all his life.
With a real tree-like body with tree-like limbs and a bright yellow light where eyes should be, it frantically chased after .
I didn't know sothing like that existed, but... it was an anti-magic skill.
This [Tree Ent] was using an anti-magic skill to freeze the surrounding Mana around .
This thing was the reason I was injured like this.
While searching for a place to rest for tonight, this fellow suddenly ca out of nowhere and started attacking .
Though I detected it because of my heart, its attacks weren't a joke.
We battled for almost three hours, keeping each other in check and I was barely keeping up against this almost (Green) ranked beast with [Quickstep] and but then... it started.
The yellow light ca out of its eye that surrounded .
It restricted the surrounding Mana around .
I can't regenerate the Mana I had used, and all I had was the existing Mana in my Mana nucleus.
I was trying to run away all this ti, knowing this fight was pointless from the start.
There was no way I could win against this unfamiliar (Green) ranked creature.
I ran, ran, and tried to get away from it using [Quickstep] but... It was of no use.
This fellow was dead set on catching .
I was now feeling dizzy from all the blood that I lost and the fatigue from the fight.
I can't use any magic spells, but there was still a way to use them if I use the beast cores I had.
But it would take a long ti to take it out and channel the energy inside it.
-Thump. Thump.
The goose chase continued the sa way it had been.
'What the hell is this persistence?!'
Like, for real. I hid by changing my form many tis to hide, but it never gave up on catching .
The good day that was going smoothly had turned into a ss.
But... I had this strange feeling from the ti I started running.
This Ent attacked, but those attacks weren't fatal.
Knowing my body, I knew it perfectly aid them at nonvital points.
Even my injured arm was sowhat useable.
What the hell was this thing trying to do with ?!
Still running, I took out a potion from my storage device and drank it without hesitation.
-Gulp.
It was my second last healing potion.
Now... things would be complicated if I got hurt.
I did find so herbs with healing properties and good Mana that can be turned into a dicine that would work as a potion, but that thing would have to wait.
It would be sunset in a few hours and I had no idea what I would do at night in this condition.
Turning around, I glanced at the Ent.
It was furious, angry, and... sad?
"What the fuck!? It's sad after making like this?" I shouted and kept running.
[[ Master. I don't think it wants to hurt you... ]]
[ "I know that much by now, Celes. But what would you expect to do when it's chasing like this?" ]
What if it attacked again in a fatal spot and I die?
There was a possibility, and I knew it wasn't a small one.
And I didn't even have any way of defending myself without Mana.
'Or... maybe I have.' A thought crossed my mind, and it seed strangely possible.
[ "Celes. Let's do this..." ]
-Thump!
Jumping up with a rock as support, I took out my bow from my storage device with three arrows.
Finding it wasn't easy, but I managed to find so (Mana wood) here. A log of wood with high Mana inside them.
With them, I was able to create these test arrows.
I didn't know if they will work as they were supposed to but... I hoped they did.
Quickly arranging the red, green, and white arrows on my bow, enduring the pain from my still healing hand, I stretched the bowstring.
-Crackl.
Still, in the air, I channeled whatever Mana was remained in to spare.
'If this works, there is going to be a problem for sure.'
-Swish! Swish! Swish!
I released the arrows at the Ent in the distance.
A green string appeared between them, and... they joined together.
The white arrow started integrating, red glowed brightly and the green vanished.
The arrow's spinning increased, but it sowhat slowed down and started falling towards it.
-Sweeeeeeeeeeesh~.
-Boooooooom!
(Small Mana Explosion)
It was sothing that the military used, but it was an artifact in its full form.
Sothing that used Mana as a base to create explosions at the level of a missile.
It wasn't so normal magic and in its complete form, its pure destructiveness was almost at (tier-4) level.
The white arrow was sothing that was made with materials with super high Mana density.
If I have to put this one arrow into value, it would be as valuable as a (Red) ranked core.
The green arrow created such condensed and sharp winds that it destroyed the wood, so it was partially a failure.
The red arrow condensed all things into a single point.
I wanted this sa process with atmospheric Mana particles but... it wasn't possible until (tier-4).
But this experintal arrow was... a 40% success.
The explosion was... big.
It perfectly hit the Ent, and I knew... it did at least so damage.
A black smoke screen covered the Ent.
The skill that was blocking my Mana supply all this ti was canceled, and I was one with Mana once again.
"Huu..."
Taking a deep breath, I walked towards the Ent.
The explosion had scared a nearby small creature as it was great enough to be called a 9XZ missile from my previous world.
A small crater was ford on the ground before the Ent, and the Ent was quite surprised.
It stopped its attacks as I walked before it and asked in a confused tone.
"So? Why this long chase?"
