122 Escape

I zigzagged through the forest in a distracting way so as to get rid of the annoying assassin on my back, however, losing him was harder than expected.

After one hour, the results were as much as 6 grazes around my body caused by throwing daggers as well as two daggers which were lodged in my right thigh and left arm ( again ) respectively. Though there was still some grace to this matter.

After encountering as much as tens of throwing daggers being thrown at me. I started getting the hang of feeling the presence of the assassin and his weapons and avoid the following throws,my Perception stat which was hard to increase normally started increasing at an abnormal rate, it strangely felt like I was undergoing a special perception training!

[ Your Perception has increased by 0.09! ]

In the end, this was still a life and death matter, so I couldn't really look at this way as my life could be forfeit at any known moment.

Although I managed to realize that he was aiming at my vitals directly and seemed to be mostly concerned about slowing me down, I still couldn't lower my guard just yet.

'Finally!'

"Hah...huh"

Thankfully, fate seemed to be on my side as the second hour's conclusion was much better, as I managed to use my body of elements' speed amplification to overtake his speed finally losing him as I couldn't feel his almost hidden presence.

Of course, either that, or he was able to hide from my perception again, but I decided to stay positive for the time being and head for the camp in any case according to my original plan.

[Oh you are finally back!]

"Indeed… hah"

After using two Grade-2 crystals to replenish my stamina, I finally reached the camp 6 hours later, as I finally collapsed on the ground from over exhaustion…

`~~`~~`~~`

[Will you wake up now or what?!]

"What!"

I opened my eyes after hearing a voice that almost tore my ear drum, before calming down and remembering the predicament I was in.

"I know that this is some sort of emergency, but you still didn't have to wake me up this way you know.."

[Yeah, yeah, whatever, hurry up and tell me what happened!]

'A curious persona this time huh?'

"Well, nothing much, I just uncovered some serious plot and ended up getting a deadly assassin chasing me down to death, nothing much really…"

[What! You call this nothing much?!]

"No need to get so worked up alright… I was just joking, I know it's serious and all but our current time is limited so just brush it as a joke until I finish my preparation."

[Alright, just remember to tell me everything later…]

"You got it…"

As I have already checked the time after I woke up, I knew that it was still 9 AM and that I only slept for 3 hours, but that also meant I only had one hour to go before we are supposed to be dispatched.

As Long had already reversed back into the small dragon shape of his, I relaxedly sat cross-legged with my eyes closed as I thought about what happened yesterday, and most importantlyabout what are the right steps to take to escape this potential danger.

5 minutes later, I opened my eyes and smiled slightly, it was time to use the fruits of my harvest for the last two weeks!
