Chapter 147 Karma

Chapter 147 Karma

A large bear with earthy-green fur and mushrooms growing on its back charged toward Adam in a frenzy. It towered over Adam even while running on all fours. Currently, it was profusely bleeding from everywhere and seemed to be on its last breath.

This would be its final attack on the person who had made him this way. Although death was imminent, the bear's eyes gleamed with anger and insanity.

However, before the bear could even reach Adam, the latter had already completed all the required components and cast a spell.

The youth pointed his index finger at the bear, and the next moment, blue lightning crackled on the tip of his finger. And then, the beam of lightning lanced toward the bear and penetrated its head.

Rank 1 Spell: Lightning Streak!

ROAR!

The massive bear let out one final bellow as it fell face-first onto the ground. The light in its eyes slowly faded away and it perished.

After making sure that the bear had died, Adam walked toward it and carefully observed it. If it was up to him, he would have avoided confronting the bear.

However, Valerian had been constantly nagging him about eating fresh meat. So he couldn't help but give in to the little guy's request.

After all, it had already been three weeks since they'd arrived here. They were surviving on beef jerky and other dry rations all this while. And Valerian, still being an infant, naturally got bored of it and wanted to eat something different.

While Adam was examining the many mushrooms on the bear's back, a gray light flashed and Valerian appeared in front of him, strutting toward the bear's corpse.

Adam wanted to reprimand the little fellow for coming out again without permission, but after seeing the excited look on Valerian's cute little face, he couldn't bring himself to.

Valerian pointed at the dead bear and then glanced at Adam with bright eyes. 'Meat! Meat!'

Adam gently picked up the young dragon in his arms and warmly smiled. "Yes, we will finally have some meat. But first I need to cook it. Can't let you have it raw. Okay?"

"Myu~" Valerian put his arms around Adam's neck and gave him a warm hug. Then, it started to fondly lick his cheeks. Adam couldn't help but chuckle at this.

The next moment, he placed his hand on the bear's corpse, and following that, it disappeared inside his earring. Folloow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)

"He's very cautious as well," she said with a frown. But the next moment, she scoffed. "But so what?"

The elf weaved a series of hand gestures, and the following moment, her emerald eyes shone with a yellow glint. She once again looked at the battlefield, and this time, she was faintly able to see footsteps leading into the distance.

Seeing this, she smirked. "I have a feeling that If I follow you, I'll be able to get out of this damnable forest."

The elf then silently followed after the traces left behind by Adam.

...

A week later, the elf was finally able to track Adam down. She was greatly shocked at how skillful Adam was at covering his tracks.

Even with her tracking spell, she had lost him plenty of times. But fortunately, she managed to track him down in the end. Currently, she was hiding in the bushes at a distance of about a hundred and fifty meters away from Adam.

However, her gaze wasn't on Adam but on the periphery of the Mushroom Forest in the far distance where she could see sunlight seeping in. Seeing this, she was extremely happy. "Finally, I can leave this forest!"

Suddenly, she glanced at the person she had been following over the past week. For some strange reason, she found him very familiar.

After casting a spell to enhance her vision, she finally got a clear picture of this person. And when she did, she was shocked!

This person was wearing black robes and a cape of the same color. Moreover, there also seemed to be a gray kitten lying on his head.

When the elf gazed at this person's visage, her hands clenched tightly and her eyes turned bloodshot in fury. "It's you!"

She took out an arrow from her quiver and readied her bow, aiming at Adam.

"This is karma for what you did back then."

And then, she fired the arrow.

THWOCK!
