goh goh goh (sound of galloping)
Getting louder, still Zora could not see the animal horse.
He was so ready to kill that animal.
He would strike fast and clean.
Kill that animal completely.
.
Zora decision was firm and he grit his teeth and hand holding short katana more stronger.
.
1 minute later.
.
Still Zora could not seen a shadow of that animal but….
.
Bang… bang…. Bang…. Sound getting louder.
.
That was not a sound of galloping anymore, it was like a tank was rushing in the forest and crashing everything.
Or an elephant running and smashing everything in his way.
Ground was starting to shake.
.
Zora said, "That not good."
Zora decision was now broken.
His hand were now loosen and teeth too.
Cold sweat coming out, his face pale.
He right away find a hiding place for his safety.
.
BANG.. BANG….BANG…
Rumbling sound was louder and louder, ground were more shaking and some rock were falling.
.
"OMG, god save me" While hiding at the same place Zora pray for god,
Any way god were on vacation
Or hate him.
Never help him.
.
Zora needed to help himself, that is better way than waiting for god help.
He looked around again for better place.
He remember that he found a small hidden gap or cave down at narrow path yesterday.
.
But he never thought about running away, he has been lacked of training after a long time.
Before he always have plan B, and exit but not now.
.
Before he was thinking jump down and kill.
But now if he jump down and hide mean all his plan were fail.
.
"Life is important," Zora could not think too much.
.
He jumped down into narrow path,
He were in hurry so his leg got hurt but he could not care.
He dived into small gap.
.
Everything was shaking, some rock drop down and all dirt were fill in the narrow path.
That was good for Zora hiding.
But also blocking Zora view and he could not see what was coming.
.
From the information, what Zora got was that horse would go alone but now???
what was coming with that animal?
.
Now he see a shadow.
And finally he saw the so call horse.
.
It was definitely not a horse but look like part of horse.
.
That one was really big compare to normal horse size.
It came out with dreadful aura,
It rush down everything in front of that.
Tree were flew away by it rush through.
It run through like an angry rhino rush through and smash everything in front of it.
.
It high was around 30 feet or 10 m around,
length 15 m,
4 front and rear legs make it 8 legs.
2 fronts and rear legs were hoof.
But another four were some part paw but most part like strong hand with claws.
All these 8 legs were made to go through harsh terrain.
.
Shape of Iron horse.
Iron like colour but scary face, it face was like combination of werewolf and horse,
with Weight look like more than 3000 kg.
.
Speed was like 15 m/s. And it is not fully running speed but It was like a jogging fast.
Compare with his body length it was too slow.
.
All his body was cover by scale especially its legs. It tail was like whip and his neck hair were a bit same like Zora hair when Zora transform.
.
And it skin is same normal horse but iron colour and same as Zora.
.
It was jogging but still that thing was like bulldozer crashing everything in it way.
.
Bang…..
.
It body side was bigger than narrow road, so it could not go in narrow path. It jump on the mountains.
.
Just one jump it reach to top.
And it stride on edges of two mountains, narrow passage was under it.
And it jog through as rocks were falling down and dust were cover all around near.
.
Zora transform full body and cover his head and hiding like a turtle.
Falling rock were hitting him one after another.
It was like trapping under collapsing building.
.
All he could wish was stayed alive from that.
.
It was not even notice that someone hiding here and it passed through just like that.
.
After a while it pass through, Zora push out rock and came out, Zora was lucky enough not buried under the falling rocks.
.
After coming out Zora stand there with agony, this time everything was burning inside of his body with frustrating.
.
"Why… Why…. don't I have a super power like that MC in novel? Why do I have to hide like a turtle when my enemy was in front of me."
.
Zora trained his body for 2years with all his might but now this monster could crash him like an ant.
.
If he fight with that monster, that monster could only need one step to kill him.
.
He thought that he was strong compare from body from Earth and he could start fight in this world.
.
But now he knew he was just an ant to strong one.
.
He may be stronger than some people but still many time weaker than real fighter in this world.
.
At first he thought with his metal form and his knowledge of engineering, he could win in fight but now.
.
Zora looked at the katana in his hand and starting to suspect that, could it cut that monster or pierced through it skin?
.
This is the first time he saw other people transformed.
Within two year he tried to look for that but he never saw them.
First time and now he saw was really monster that he could not touch.
Zora was lucky, not only one time but two time with this monster.
He never thought that guy was that powerful.
If there were not for the guards, Zora might be fought with the five men in the market.
If he fought them at that time, he would be probably die and now second time he escaped from dead.
But both of the time, he hide like a turtle.
.
So, he decided that from now on he needed to be head down and lay low.
If he provoked that kind of monster without knowing, he would definitely die.
.
Zora did not want to do like that or who else wanted to be like that, but what else could he do?
.
He was sort of same like that horse too.
When Zora got some power.
He thought he could rule everything and he showed off his power at the market.
.
But reality was not, he was just lucky not fought with real fighter or warrior.
It is called Kama riding.
If you do something to other it will come back to you now or later.
.
Zora called that poor horse showing off.
But Zora is same as him, showing off but different between two was,
Zora fought back against those and attack some bad people.
He did not attack some poor kid or weak and old whose would never cross with him.
But Zora did not confuse about,
He could only kill who were weaker than him.
.
No one could kill stronger than them.
.
That horse guy was just a king mount, and there were many fighter class Metal Warrior out there without showing any sign.
All were look like normal human before transform.
.
That horse body wight was like 3000 kg, how could Zora hand power 65 kg could harm that monster?
Even if he train to his human body how much his one hand power he could get? 1000 kg?
The Earth strongest man could only lift 500 kg with his whole body.
Here Zora could lift two time more that mean 1000kg with his metal form 2000kg?
How long he needed to train to get that?
.
That why it was called normal human body.
Not super human body.
These were only lifting the weight, not in fighting with 3000kg weight monster.
That monster was just jogging with 3000 kg weight.
He is only a human.
Not like super human or MC who could train with cultivation to get 3000 kg (is = x10 normal car weight) punch easily.
.
Zora was so amaze that some stupid writer wrote their MC so strong with normal human body.
.
Zora did not want to hide like turtle, he wanted to fight like MC in novel but reality is not a novel.
.
Moreover, there were no papa would came and save him if he fought and lost in the battle.
.
Zora was really frustrated,
More than that, it was now just a King horse.
Not even The king Wai or other power house
Or the prince, the strongest of Wai country that who killed the boy, (his body owner)
.
How to fight with them?
.
"What the fvck did you do to me, you killed me, you took me here and gave me fvcking weak ability? Just fvcking give me power, so that I can fvck with them."
.
Zora shouted into the sky but same as always,
No answer,
.
Zora sat down at that place with a sigh. He tried to cool down him mind.
.
Now he know why Yu Rou said they were really strong enemies.
And he understand that why prince killed that boy with trash ability.
.
It is a trash ability if there were non other thing here,
(non other thing mean something like loop hole or gap or to power up.)
.
Or ….
"Hay fvcker….. opps sorry, MR SOMEONE could please give me some cultivation skill?
.
I could refine my body?
that could make my body to super human body?
Could you please please????
.
Anything else?
.
Whatever it is that could make my body so stronger??
NOTHING????"
.
Zora shouted into the sky.
.
It is that possible way that he could become stronger, if he got some cultivation and he could make his body stronger and he could change his destiny.
.
Zora could think only two ways. But still the answer from above is always the same.
.
No answer.
.
Anyway Zora a bit cool down, he talk himself
.
'If his strength was so strong so forget about fighting with strength'
.
'I have better IQ'
.
'I have better agility'
.
'Yaa, I am faster that that horse.'
.
And
.
'How long that animal could be still in that form??'
.
'Ya, got it, when they transform back to human body and they are weak,
At that time why could I not sneak attack on them??'
.
'Yaaaaaa, let go.'
Zora could not use his strength so he used his brain.
.
He get up back, he clean up his whole body which was cover with dust.
.
He looked at the way that animal went. He did not need to look hard for a trail. That animal destroy everything in it path.
And he followed the route.
.
What Zora trying to do now is not killing who was stronger than him,
.
He trying to kill them when they were weak.
.
Using enemy weak point to eliminate the enemy,
.
To simplify,
Zora was stronger than the horse at intelligent.
.
Agility or experiences etc.. may be.
.
No one could kill who was stronger than them,
.
Stronger does never mean just physical strength.
.
Who were stronger in IQ,
.
Or who stronger in enduring
.
Or who stronger in mind.
.
He checked his status,

MP…...100/100
AP... 1900/2000

Hand….. 65
Leg…. 171

.
.....
On his body, he got injury falling rock hit his whole body especially hand, leg and back.
His left leg was worst, he got injury accidentally, while he jump down on the mountain wall.
After he checking his body, he went on follow that monster. He saw too many thing were destroy on it route.
He even found some dead animal. He took some body for his meal but he chose only good for him to eat.
Because he could not carry all of them while following something.
.
He speed steadily slowing down as the sun rising, still he haven't found that monster.
More than that he could not even heard the sound making by that monster.
.
Now he know why that monster could arrived so early in the morning to where Zora travel for half of the day.
.
Zora was better in speed and may be in stamina, still he was too slow because of terrain,
In addition his injuries were made him use up his stamina like three times as normal.
.
That horse and that king were not stupid that, that king send that horse alone.
.
After Zora saw it own eyes he understand meaning of 'That horse would go very rough dangerous terrain area.'
.
It was simply because of big and tough body. Even if that horse speed was slower than Zora in data that horse could travel this area as plane ground.
.
While Zora has normal human body.
So he needed to clime up,
go down or go around that made him slower than that horse.
Even though his speed on plane were faster and stamina were better than horse.
.
Zora knew his speed was faster, but his stamina was just his guess.
.
When Metal form was used it take toll on human body that why people use it only when they needed to.
.
For him was a different condition, his ability made him two time of everything his body has, and metal form only need two time because of his metal form was weak.
.
Two time power he grain in metal form and two time use up that cancel out.
.
The stronger the metal form they need to use more stamina. That why Zora thought that horse would used up his stamina.
.
And that was why he first thought, he would catch up and kill that horse, when that horse used up it stamina.
.
Now he knew, he made two mistake in his calculations.
.
First his injuries and second underestimate the horse stamina.
.
That was second time again he underestimate this horse.
.
He checked his status,
HP... 543/1600
MP…...100/100
AP... 947/2000
.
He is really tired now but his status show still have around half of his stamina.
.
That was now brain was control the body. Around half of the stamina, brain told him that he was tired.
.
And here many human confuse and breaking the limit. They only break the limit of their brain told them. But not body real status in number.
.
Number did not lie but brain lie.
But brain has it's reason too.
.
For Zora, he has his intelligent and decision.
He looked at far away and he saw only trail of that horse left but hear nothing, that mean, he could not catch up that horse in his condition.
.
His HP were getting lower as his wound were getting worst while he was travelling.
If that rate even he found that horse, he may not left any power to harm that monster.
Or he would die from his own wound.
.
So, only way is to rest for replenish and heal his wound. And later he would again follow that monster.
.
After he made the decision, he sat down for prepare to cook his meal and rest.
.
But when he sat down, red ground dust were flew up.
.
Cough ...Cough…
.
Goddamn it, so dusty ground,
.
He cleaned up that dust from his body and looked at his hand. His hand were cover with red dust ground powder.
.
And he looking at,
.
Red colour earth or red colour dusty ground.
.
And he looking at his faraway, his surrounding.
.
And his eyes pupil were twisted, his eyes were getting larger and about to popping out.
.
