Chapter 27 - 27: Run Like The Wind!

Robert tried to remove all the useless thoughts from his mind and focused on the current predicament.

Why did a Nascent Soul Creature come to him?

There are only three reasons that he could think of right now.

The first is that the creature was wandering in the forest and both of them came across each other by coincidence.

The second is that it was attracted by the Nine Colour strange flower in his hand. After all, it can provide 100 evolution points to him, therefore it should be an expensive treasure.

The third reason is that the creature is attracted by his fluffy and cute appearance and now is greedy for his body.

He can directly ignore the third option for now and analysed the remaining two options, the second option is the most possible reason why it came after him.

He does believe that he has such bad luck to come across a Nascent Soul creature by pure coincidence.

Thinking of the flower he had a toothache, This flower gave him so much trouble. He regretted not eating it at the cave.

Since the problem is found it's better to ditch it completely. Although his heart dripping with blood he has to do it. 

He is no match for the creature so he has to do this. He hoped that the creature is a democratic individual,l So that he can have a peaceful discussion.

Ugh. What am I thinking? There is no way a creature like this would know democracy.

But he still has to ditch the flower to save his life. Thinking of this he took out Nine Colour strange flower. 

He raised the flower in front of the big guy and gestured to take it. To show his sincerity, he placed the flower on the ground.

He looked up and saw that the creature attention was successfully attracted by the flower.

Sure enough, money can buy the world. Seeing that the creature attention was placed on the Nine Colour Strange flower he slowly backed away.

Trying not to make any noise. When he was 10 meters away from the creature he turned around and sprinted with all his might.

Robert swears that he has never run so fast in his life. For a moment he even had an illusion that he is running in the air but there is no way it's possible.

But why can he not feel ground under his legs?

He looked down curiously and saw his legs has already become phantoms due to high speed. And he was running in the air.

Although the altitude is only a few centimetres it's enough to brag about it in front of others.

His speed should be faster than any Magnet train or other speedy vehicle. It should be approaching the speed of sound.

He looked back and saw that no shadow behind him.

I should be out of danger. He thought to himself.

Although the cost was a bit high, It's better than dying.

He already ran for 5 kilometres and there was no one behind him. Even if the creature wants to chase him it cannot do it in a short time.

He was relaxed thinking about this but he did not reduce his speed in the slightest. It's better to be cautious. 

Just as he was running he heard a huge noise behind him. He was startled hearing this.

Have I broken through the speed of sound? Robert thought jokingly.

He looked back curiously and saw a huge creature in the sky.

When he saw this his soul almost escaped from his mouth. It's the Hedgehog like creature. It's in the sky and is currently flying in his direction.

It's so weird to see a hedgehog flying but he did not have time to marvel about this.

His speed increases even further as a trail of fire appeared behind him and his leg almost became invisible.

But the creature kept appearing behind him every time, He felt despair seeing this. How can this creature found him every time?

"Host, wake up otherwise your soul will be eaten." 

Just he was despairing he heard the systems voice in his mind. This sentence was like a basin of cold water pouring on his head.

He felt electric current throughout his body and the scenery in front of him disappeared like an illusion.

He appeared in the same place where he met the creature and the Nine Colour Strange flower was still in his hand.

Everything was the same as before.

He was confused for a moment and then his back and forehead was filled with cold sweat.

Because he saw the blood basin of hedgehog creature on top of his head. He could smell the nasty breadth from it.

He remembered the system's warning and his heart was filled with fear. Seeing the blood basin approaching him he didn't think too much but used the White blow.

He did not know the amount of Spiritual energy he used. But he knows that this is his best attack.

Spiritual energy condensed around his fist and covered it like a ball. Like before the ball kept compressing into a small ball with a radius of few centimetres.

But unlike before the ball was not white but is a white ball with silver brilliance in it.

He could feel pain in his hand before he even attacked with this. He can imagine how much pain he would suffer after attacking.

Nevertheless, there is no room for hesitation if he wants to save his life. He punched at the blood basin directly. 

The mouth is the weakest part of any creature. The same applies to the hedgehog-like creature in front of him.

The moment his punch landed inside the mouth, He could not feel his left hand anymore. 

BOOM

After that, there was a huge explosion and he was blown away by the creature. He felt like his internal organs were crushed under huge pressure. And all of his bones were displaced.

His consciousness was dissipating and all of the scenery in his vision was disappearing like a flash.

He felt like his body fell into the water and he kept sinking in it. At this time he heard a Roaring.

After that he was unconscious.

…

At this time Robert fell into a lake, Just as he was drowning in the water a whirlpool appeared around him and he disappeared from the surface of the lake. 

Just as he disappeared the Hedgehog creature appeared near the lake.

At this moment the appearance of the Hedgehog creature is miserable as all of his teeth are gone and blood keeps dripping like a waterfall from his mouth. Robert's punch caused him a lot of damage.

His eyes were pitch black unlike before and Black clouds kept spilling from his body like a tsunami destroying all the surrounding trees.

He looked around trying to find Robert but he was not able to find him. 

ROAR

It roared angrily. Several creatures who were living in the surrounding area died directly because of the roar. Their bodies were without any injuries.

There were no traces of blood on the ground.

Roaring a few more times and not seeing Robert, the creature eventually left the place to lick his wound.

The lake regained its calmness and all the things returned to normal as if nothing happened just now.

But one can see the bodies of dead fishes floating on the surface of the lake.
