Chapter 903: A Super-sonic Chase



As Arad and Selena ran across the jungle, Matilda couldn't believe her eyes. The trees around them have turned into a mess blur and the massive mountains were rushing past them like trees when you ride a fast horse, and what baffled her more, is that Arad was running backward and still keeping up with that Black Jaguar.

In her whole life, this was the first time she had seen such a scene, the entire world quickly disappeared before her eyes. Being held in Arad's arms as he moved at this speed felt both horrifying and enticing. This is how he sees the world, slow, and small, even mountains were nothing but small stones that he could walk past in a heartbeat.

Trying to shake Arad off her trails, Selena shifted back into her humanoid form and slipped into a small cave. Thanks to Arad's large body, he won't fit through the tight hole. But, his training with Kayden wasn't in vain.

While accelerating in a direction is easy, it's far harder to suddenly switch direction due to the centrifugal force. To combat that, Arad had learned to teleport to the same spot but face the direction he wanted to keep moving, allowing him to change the direction of his acceleration without actually turning.

Arad instantly teleported in place, but this time appeared to stand horizontally like he was doing a flying kick, diving into the hole feet first. Matilda screamed, terrified as they flew into the tight space, for a second there, she thought they were about to crash into the stones. Her fears were just starting as Arad started chasing Selena through the caves, no matter what she did to lose him, he was always at least five meters behind her.

A super-sonic chase inside a tight and pitch-black cave, chasing a black jaguar that could easily blend into mere shadows and disappear. Matilda couldn't even begin to comprehend how Arad was keeping up with that black Jaguar.

Now that Matilda thought about it, it clicked in her mind. Arad had mentioned that the black Jaguar is a warlock patron, Maharaja. That's their goddess!

Selena looked back, "You're one insistent chaser..." Selena looked back. Even though Matilda could barely hear her due to their speed, she was quite confused at the lack of Nya. "Try and catch me if you can." Selena suddenly accelerated into the distance; her speed almost doubling.

"Don't get scared." Arad said with a stern voice, his boots disappearing as his feet turned into draconic talons. His claws dug into the ground for more traction, and a faint druidic magic gushed from his body, making Matilda think he used the druidic magic [Beastial Claws]. But what Arad had cast was something else, [Taurus] his favorite constellation after [Gemini]. Arad bolted forward at double the speed, quickly catching up to Selena as the ground around them shattered and the two burst out of the cave, destroying the exist in a blast. The two landed outside and burst running at a blinding speed, the whole around Matilda had turned to a white blur, she could barely tell if they were still in the jungle or flying through the cloud.

Looking forward, Matilda couldn't even tell Selena's legs and arms apart, all she could see was a blur around her torso as she seemed to be a few meters ahead of them. How in the hell is Arad keeping up with their goddess like this? She knew he was strong, far too strong, but this was on another level.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I knew she looked like troubles with all those scares, probably a bandit." One growled, "Matilda, don't worry! Next time she shows up, I'll blast her away!" One of the students said with a large smile on his face.

"No, it'll be me! I'll freeze her in place, just wait and see." Another exclaimed proudly. Most of the students adored Matilda a lot, mainly thanks to her outgoing and energetic attitude.

Matilda looked at them with one eye, and then back at Arad. None of them understood what they were talking about, what Arad faced wasn't some random black jaguar. They are clearly underestimating the gap of power between them and Arad, compared to him, there were nothing but ants walking cluelessly on the ground.

"DAAGGAAAADAA!" Serin who was playing around rushed toward Arad with a stick, swinging it at him. She hit his leg, and he fell on the ground crying and rolling dramatically. She laughed and swung again, but this time Arad gently blocked the attack with his arms and

looked at her.

Serin immediately swung again at a different angle and hit him on the head.

Arad cried and rolled back, pretending to be beaten down. Serin immediately rushed in,

jumping at him like a playful cat, trying to bite him.

Matilda could only stare in shock at how fast Arad could switch, a second ago he was fighting a

goddess toe-toe, and now he's gently playing with his daughter. From now on, she can't

judge him by how timid or gentle he looks around them.

No matter how cute a bear might look, it's still a vicious bear.
