Shin who had dashed off earlier to find Aella, had traveled quite a lot of distance and was far away from his clan.
Yes, he didn't hesitate to use his full speed and with no ti had already arrived near the place where the witch used to live. Since he had the function which enabled him to ward off the monsters and beasts, he didn't have much to worry about.
Though, there were a few factors that he had to think about.
'Man, I am unable to sll her scent...'
'Just what is happening?'
'Why is this happening?'
While it is true that animals, especially dogs, and related species and types, have an extraordinary sense of sll, it doesn't work always.
There are tis when they too get so sort of disease just because their body is pushed to a limit and at the mont a similar thing was happening to Shin.
Though, more than a disease, it would be appropriate to say that it was so sort of drawback for overexerting himself.
So, the question arises, how did he overexert himself?
[ 30 minutes ago... ]
*swoosh*
Shin was running swiftly with all his might. He wanted to waste no ti at all.
While he prioritized saving ti, he forgot to rest. Running to the edge of the forest from the center is no easy job.
In fact, considering how small Shin's body was despite the huge amount of strength, he couldn't possibly run the entire distance in one go.
He had to rest and he knew that very well. He was not a fool to run aimlessly without knowing his limits, but oh well, he just thought that it was best to run instead of resting
'Pushing over the limits' or 'Breakthrough your limits' - were so of the lines that ca to his mind.
He had heard these words sowhere earlier, not in this world for sure, and using these words as a base, he continued to run thinking that his skill might evolve or he would get better.
But little did he know that such words weren't true for all the cases. They were surely not false, but at the mont, instead of rushing through things, it would be wise to go over them smoothly.
The fact that his body wasn't able to handle his power beca evident when the system displayed a warning!
[ Warning ]
[ Excess fatigue accumulated ]
[ Excess heat generated in the body due to over-action of the muscles ]
[ Advice - The system advises the host to rest for 00:00:05:00 ( 5 minutes ) ]
'Ha!'
'What a joke!'
'Do you really think that you can fool ?'
'I am nowhere near my limit.' - was what Shin thought.
'Do you really think that I cannot understand the limits of this body?'
'I have been in this for a year now and I know how it works, so you better give a better explanation for the warning.', when he thought all this, he sounded a bit arrogant.
It was as if he knew everything, but in reality, his knowledge was limited - at least, less than the system for now.
Though, he had a valid point. He had grasped how the body of a wolf worked after experiencing it, so it was weird to see the system display such a ssage because he couldn't feel any changes in heat or pain.
There were so more trees in front of him that directly blocked his pathway - of course, he was trying to take a shortcut!
The roots of the trees were above the ground forming inverted 'U'-shaped structures looking sowhat similar to an umbrella.
Yes, the sa was found everywhere due to which the place was called Umbrella Zone of the forest.
Regardless, Shin didn't mind about the place and didn't stop even for a second and continued to jump over the U-shaped structures. Sowhere high enough which enabled him to pass under them, while others were low due to which he had to jump over them.
And while he was jumping, his legs gave out and he ended up tripping over one of the structures.
*bam*
He collided with one of the trees with his head directly dashing the bark.
In a second, his head started bleeding.
"Ouch!"
"That frickin' hurt!" - he shouted.
"..."
"Or... it didn't?"
He shook his head only to find his vision appearing to be red. Yes, everything around him appeared red. Needless to say, the blood from his forehead was gushing out like a fountain and had already drenched his entire face.
"What the-"
He seed confused. He shook his head again causing the blood to splash here and there.
But despite doing this, his vision seed to be blurry or appear red due to which he started licking his eyes thanks to which, his vision beca clear.
Along with the taste, he could now see the red blood which had been splashed all over the place.
The blood was still rushing from his head which he noticed imdiately when a small pool of blood seed to form.
"Are you for real?", he asked himself.
"Blood...?"
"Am I bleeding?", he seed even more confused.
But there shouldn't have been any confusion, to begin with. It was obvious that hitting sothing while moving at such a high speed would only cause the impact to be reversed.
Despite his sturdy body, he started bleeding, the cause of which was high speed which he understood soon enough.
'Damn...'
'So that's what it is...'
[ HP: 800/840 || Max. HP: ??? ]
He took a look at his HP and almost instantly healed himself.
That wasn't a problem at all. The bleeding stopped almost instantly as if it hadn't occurred in the first place. The lost HP was recovered completely.
But Shin was still staring into the blank space as if he was thinking sothing.
'Yes...'
'No matter the situation, I have to think calmly...'
'First of all, let's disable the skill Pain nullification.'
He realized that he was failing to analyze the condition of his own body because of this very skill.
'Ding'
[ Do you want to disable the passive skill 'Pain Nullification' temporarily? ]
[ -> Yes ]
[ -> No ]
"Yes."
"..."
