Today we are here to mourn the loss of archaic trees A to J. May their heroic sacrifice remain in our mories. On the upside the wood is so full of mana that it will likely remain sturdy for a long ti even lying there fallen. Sadly no one in the party possesses any skill to actually make use of the resource.
It took a while, but I finally managed to figure out the issue. How long? About a month. Again, I tend to lose track of ti easily. But here are my findings. A burst of speed is useless if the associated control isn't present.
To make an analogy it would be like installing a turboprop engine on a kick scooter. While I would very much like to see it happen it wouldn't be very realistic.
So instead of visualizing myself as being the fastest man alive I now just picture myself going faster.
The entire process has been accompanied by a concerned elder helping and a smug wolf mocking .
But today is a day of reckoning!
You dare laugh at !
Ti to see who'll have the last laugh!
HAHAHAHA.
[Co here Wolfie! I'll just beat you a tiny bit! ( )
So, what if you run away!
I can follow now!
*GRAB*
Gotcha you mischievous wolf!
*Whine*
So, what if you try to beg for rcy! This is vengeance!
*Smack*
And I start spanking.
*Welp*
Puppy eyes again? HAHA. You scheming wolf!
I HAVE DEVELOPED AN IMUNITY TO THAT!
I rember all the hardships I had to face while training.
Ah. Such is life.
But still, nothing will save you!
Trying to struggle out of my grasp? What can a weak rank 1 wolf do?
*Smack*
How do you like that?!
*Smack*
The struggling stopped. Oh well it's becoming boring now. My anger isn't that deep to begin with.
[I'll forgive you this one ti! But be more respectful in the future!]
Wait! Wolfie just nodded?!
Damn. The ancient were wise. Beating up mischievous kids does work wonders.
[Alright. Co here.]
*Sound of intense petting*
I'm truly glad I went through the trouble of training myself!
Ah. wait I feel like I'm forgetting sothing?
Right. I was training to be able to survive the dangers of the forest, wasn't I?
Oups. It's easy to get sidetracked.
****
Rember what happened last ti against the giant ants?
That was the old !
With boundless confidence but lacking skills.
The current is all different!
I'm way sturdier and faster! I'm on a whole new level!
Guess what I'm gonna do to those ants now?!
Absolutely nothing.
Yeah, screw that.
Imma find another way out of this forest.
One that doesn't involve fighting a disgusting legion of scary ass oversized bugs.
Am I scared? No way!
It is simply that a wise man chooses his battles.
Get it. I'm no coward! I'm wise!
****
Ti to use my secret technique to find a direction. I grab a stick. Then I scribble an arrow on it.
Then I throw it in the air!
Guess I'm going that . yep that's the black overwolf territory.
I throw it !
That's the ant territory ain't it?
I. Throw. It.
There we go! Works every ti! Mostly.
Let's see what's there. Hum nothing? That's weird.
Did I just find a way out of this forest?
Stick throwing overpowered. *smug*
By nothing I an obviously there are various rank 2-3 everywhere.
Being careful I can evade those, however.
Ah. The way forward is blocked.
There's only a rank 2 there! Let just walk next to it.
So kind of giant mantis. I just let it hit . Yep it's weak.
Just gotta wait a bit.and it's tired.
Ti to continue my journey.
Hum this sure is peaceful. Is that a mantis again? Seems to be rank 3.
I can simply evade it. wait . WTF!
It just disappeared from my senses.
How does a 5 m height bug simply disappear?
That's when I see sothing right in front of my face.
A tear in space. Then I see two bladed arms. It's the fucking rank 3 giant fucking mantis.
WTF! A MONSTER THAT CAN TELEPORT?!
That's so protagonist level of power. How the fuck can a bug do that?!
I try to evade.
*SLASH*
Of course, it's also fast as fuck!
Obviously!
*SLASH ------ CRASH*
Fuck ! This bring back bad mories. I just collided with an archaic tree again.
Above ?!
* SLASH ------ CRASH*
Behind?!
* SLASH ------ CRASH*
This is painful!
What am I? A fucking toy?!
Bellow?!
*BAM --------------------------------and down we go----------------------CRASH*
Fuck .
I get up staggering.
* SLASH *
Leave alone already. o()o
I'm fast. But not as fast as so bug teleporting all over the place.
I'm resistant. But I keep getting thrown all over the place.
I'm getting trashed.
Yes, I'm crying.
Right now I feel like this mantis is trying to play Fetch alone.
Ouch!
And I'm obviously the ball.
Stop slashing let's talk!
Throwing the human with a vigorous slash attack! It's super effective!
No rcy uh.
Used space magic to go back to the human. It's super effective!
Here we go again.
Today I have learned one of the truths of the world. There are stages to playing with a monster.
One being scared as fuck.
Two getting hit and being hurt all over.
Three getting angry at that fucking piece of trash bug.
Fourth trying to bargain with a monster that doesn't care one bit.
Fifth acceptance. Realizing that you are still a scrub. And waiting for it to be over.
*Sigh* o()o
****
As I'm going back to our camp, I keep sighing.
Yes, I survived.
Yes, it was painful.
No, I'm not going back there ever.
Good news is I'll be able to enjoy a nice hocooked al as soon as I'm back.
When I pass the restriction, I can see this elder of mine.
He seems preoccupied for so reason.
[I'm back.]
"Welco back sectmaster."
He doesn't even react to the pitiful state I'm in.
[Is there anything bothering you?]
"Sothing ca up sectmaster. I need to leave. Tonight."
[Alright. Let's pack up and leave. What's the plan exactly?]
"No. I'm going alone."
[Why?]
"I have my reasons."
[How about we leave this forest together?]
"No. I'm leaving."
He is walking away.
[WAIT DON'T GO! WHAT WILL I DO WITHOUT YOU?!]
"You'll be fine sectmaster. I believe in you."
And that is the last thing I hear as he quickly disappears
What the fuck is happening.....
