78 Escape and Fighting to the Pavilion
Trevon had already run for around one hour. Luckily, he was a cultivator, so he had superior stamina. If it was a common human, they would already fall unconscious from running at full speed. He believed those fruit merchants would be happy with his training if they lived in the East Area.
"Roar!!!" Another giant demon beast appeared in front of Trevon.
"WAAAAA!!!!" He shouted and ran in another direction.
Redwood City had many small alleys and high buildings. These narrow alleys allowed Trevon to hide from large packs and huge demon beasts. However, the narrow alleys were also packed with other survivors which made passing difficult.
Some common people hid in their houses, hoping the beasts couldn't find them in the enormous city. Others ran through the demon beast, hoping the beasts targeted at other people. It was the law of the jungle. Each cared about their own survival.
All the people in the East wanted to reach the North, the South, or the West area of the City. Those areas still had defensive towers protecting them.
Trevon still moved from one small alley to another. Nevertheless, these small alleys also became Trevon's nightmare. After living for a few weeks in Redwood, he had already known all the important roads. Yet, he was lost inside this city maze again.
He ran toward an alley but another wolf-type demon beast appeared from the other side.
"Auuuuu! GAAAAAA!!! Kaing... Kaing..." It ran away.
Trevon threw several blazing talismans. Even demon beasts were smart enough to avoid rich people like Trevon.
"Gwahahaha." Trevon wasn't afraid of those weak Primary Rank 1 demon beasts. He kept running while using pills to recover his spiritual energy.
Trevon knew he couldn't always hide in the narrow alley. He needed to pass some wide streets to reach his family pavilion. However, big demon beasts might appear there.
[I have to cross the road in front of.] He used the other towers as the landmark to see his direction.
The young master was running toward the other direction when he felt something coming towards his direction.
"Brak..." A stone stopped his path. The young master had rolled to avoid it.
"Groaaarwww!" A bear-type demon beast threw that stone to block Trevon.
"GWAAAAA!" Trevon felt surprised by the sudden roar. He needed to pass this street to reach another block.
It took a second for him to stabilize his focus. He grabbed his Dark Demon Slayer sword and Scout the enemy.
[Species: Flaming Claw Bear]
[Potential: 14/15]
[Ability: Pounce, Charge, Fire Slash, Bite, Body Slam]
Trevon wanted to cry. [That beast has a higher level than me. This is cheating.]
This bear-type demon beast was more powerful than him. It was three-meters tall, larger than him. With its brown and red furs, it looked like a volcano. When it raised its claw to frighten him, Trevon saw a huge living mountain prepared to bury him.
"GROAAAWWW!" The Bear showed his sharp teeth while raised its two front paws.
Trevon didn't know how heavy the bear was, but it seemed strong. He tried to run back into the narrow alley, but the beast threw another huge debris into his back. The beast forced Trevon to dodge to the left by rolling.
"Almost!" Trevon grabbed his sword again. The young master almost lost his 'Dark Demon Slayer' during the rolling.
[Sh*t!] He cursed a lot today.
The alley was filled by the debris. He might be able to jump above it, but he would be prone to another attack while he was in the air.
This demon beast had some intelligence and Trevon knew that. Using a stone to block his escape paths, this was a mature demon beast with some intelligence.
[I have to fight.] Trevon used his talismans. Speed Increasing Talisman slapped. Strength Increasing Talisman slapped. Defense Increasing Talisman slapped. He took a spirit recovery pill and jumped to avoid the bear's charge.
Trevon was lucky no other demon beast appeared around him. If not, he wouldn't be able to avoid this bear's charge as easy as that.
The Rabbink had some share to make this happen. It wanted a glorious one-on-one battle instead of a running away young master from a swarm of demon beasts. Both had their danger, so it was fair to change a bit. Master Rabbink also added the usual audiences with a huge difficulty.
Some people saw the battle from their windows. They were the invited passersby.
"That handsome young master would be killed!!!" A woman screamed. The Rabbink could do nothing but forcing people to be some passersby by shouting to each other from the windows.
"That is a Flaming Claw Bear!!! It is one of the most ferocious beasts, in the forest!!!" Another audience shouted. Somehow, they managed to converse while they were separated by some distance.
That was thanks to Rabbink Telecom, the number one and the only one Universes telecommunication carrier. The Telecom amplified their shouts to the other passersby in other buildings.
"An adult Flaming Claw Bear could reach Middle Rank 2!!!" Another man in blue robes screamed. This was a wonder. Even Trevon who had read encyclopedia needed his Scout skill to identify the beast. Master Rabbink was clearly behind this man.
"This kid couldn't defeat a mature bear like this!!!" Another audience added to the conversation. The old man was forced to shout using all his energy.
"My sister's cousin's neighbor's sister's husband who worked in the forest knew this Flaming Claw Bear!!! It was the overlord of one km square territory!!!" Another audience shouted with fear on his face. This was the Creator's signature. Some random passersby somehow know every secret of the world.
"Poor handsome boy!!!" A lady shouted the regret for the handsome young master.
Luckily Trevon didn't hear those audiences. Since he had to focus on the living mountain which blocked him. He couldn't even know that there were those audiences.
Trevon's happy go lucky looks disappeared. He knew he couldn't use his status to a demon beast. It wouldn't fear his family name. No bear knew the McArthur family name. All were foods for them.
The young master needed to be focused on if he wanted to survive. He squinted his eyes for a moment. Trevon wanted to check his surroundings. At the same time, his spiritual sense checked the small movement in the area. Hoping for a small gap to escape. [There is none.]
"Blast..." The Flaming Claw Bear ignited its claws. Its flame was bright and two giant fire torches slashed toward Trevon. It attacked using Fire Slashes to Trevon.
[Finally, a real test for Trevon.] Master Rabbink knew that no one selected by its artifact was a common person. Every apprentice had something special, including the spoiled Trevon.
"There is a beautiful female bear behind!" Trevon tried his last effort. He wanted to use a moment of carelessness to run away.
"..." The mature bear could understand some human's words. However, it isn't easy to trick a mature demon beast. "Groa Groa Groa." It laughed while sending some claws at Trevon.
"Gwah!!!" Trevon shifted to the left, to the right, to the right, and to the left again. He returned to his original position.
"GOOOOAARRR!!!" The bear felt it was annoying.
Trevon was lucky to have mastered over three hundred martial arts. One of them was this Piercing Wind Dash. While he only managed to reach Man mastery, that was sufficient to save his life.
The bear was only a Middle Rank 1 demon beast. However, Trevon believed that one hit of his claw would be able to send him to meet King Yama.
Trevon used his Piercing Wind Dash to make some distances from the beast. He used his Heaven Eagle Dive and sent water elemental cones to the bear.
[This should be effective.] He hoped. Trevon had mastered the skill into Earth rank so he believed this would reduce the bear's energy.
"Growl!" The Flaming Claw Bear turned even angrier. Water was strong against fire element. The wetness of the attack cost the beast more energy. It raised its body preparing a slam.
[Euw... I should use a different method.] Trevon made another dash to escape. The beast used Body Slam to his previous position. [Almost.] He screamed in his heart.
"1.000 Holy Flashes." Trevon used his coolest martial arts. Over one hundred light element balls started to gather around Trevon.
"Attack!" Trevon pointed his index and middle finger towards the bear.
"Hahahaha. Eh?"
"GAAAAAHHH!!!" Trevon had to use his Wind Piercing Dash to escape. While '1.000 Holy Flashes' was really cool, it was useless damage wise. The bear had thick furs to block these weak attacks.
"Cool!" A female audience shouted.
"Beautiful!!" Another lady shouted.
"Gorgeous!"
Trevon could hear some people screamed. [This is not the time to praise me.] He wanted to cry.
However, Trevon couldn't cry because the bear already prepared to continue its torrent of attacks. It started with another Charge. [Gah!]
"Blazing Talismans!!!" Trevon threw many talismans into the bear. "BOOOOM!!!"
"Hahahaha. This works. I should use it earlier." Even Trevon had to dodge the impact.
"Eh? Again?" He saw the bear turned even angrier and charged into his direction.
"Blazing Talismans!" Trevon jumped and threw more talismans. He was a rich young master with emergency funds.
"Boom!"
"Blazing Talismans!"
"Boom!" Trevon kept using the talismans and made some injuries on the bear. After that, he used his movement martial art advantage to dash into safety. Nevertheless, this strategy also agitated the bear. It went into another rash charged.
"Gaaaaaaaa!!!" Trevon dashed to his left. This made the bear hit a pillar behind him. The balcony above the pillar suddenly crashed into the bear.
"Hahaha. I win. I win. I WIN!!!" Trevon felt elated. He finally managed to beat something stronger than him. It was even a one-on-one with a demon beast.
After making several victory poses, he started to take some recovery pills. While he didn't get hit by the bear, he used some spiritual energy by using 'Piercing Wind Dash' multiple times.
"Do not be happy!" Master Rabbink teleported near Trevon.
"Groaaaaar!!!" Trevon heard an angry road from under the debris.
"What?"
"It survives."
Trevon ate even more pills. He wanted to be in his best condition.
"Brak... Brak... Brak..." Some noises came from the balcony debris.
Trevon hurriedly changed some of his light armors into more powerful armors. The young master had managed to change his foot when he heard something.
"Dhuar!!!" The debris was hurled in many directions. Trevon used his armguards to block some of the debris.
[I will use the rest later.] Trevon hadn't completed his change. Although these armors made his movement a bit slower, he could handle more than one hit from the bear with these heavier armors.
The bear walked slowly to Trevon. It raised its body and stood on its back legs. This was the sign that the bear would use its Pounce.
"The young man is in danger!!!" The audiences screamed.
"He should jump! Ran!!!" Another screamed.
"Kyaaaa!!!" A lady couldn't watch the fight anymore. She closed her eyes.
"Do not die handsome!!!" A lady screamed.
Trevon also wouldn't stand to be attacked by the bear. He used his Weakness Scan. This ability took ten percent of his spiritual energy. Some red-glows started to appear on the bear's body.
It was a huge one on its neck.
"Grawr... Grawr..." The bear started to run. It raised its paws and...
"Boom...!!!" The signature ability of the bear type demon beast. It was added with Fire on the claw.
"No...!!!" Some girl screamed. These screams were actually dangerous. They would allow some beasts to find those audiences' positions. Luckily, Master Rabbink needed some audiences. It prevented other beasts to come closer.
"BOOOOMMM!!!" The bear pounced with his flaming claw.
There was a huge smoke from the pounce. An explosion happened in an instant. When the dust disappeared, a large bear sprawled on the street.
"Is it a double takedown?!!!" An audience asked.
"That pounce must hurt!!!" Another audience shouted.
"The Bear Win?!!!"
"NOOOO...!!!" A female fan cried.
"I hope he could live a better life in the next life!!!" A lady shook her head after screaming.
Luckily again, Trevon couldn't hear them. He was pressed by this huge bear. [This is almost one ton.] Trevon complained while took some breaths.
[1... 2... 3...] He pushed the bear body to the left.
[That's heavy.] Trevon felt he broke one of his ribs. He quickly took some pills to recover his inner injuries.
His Young Master Aura made Trevon lucky. He managed to stab his Dark Demon Slayer into the bear's neck. This made the bear's pounce lost spiritual energy. Trevon also added the power by activating the sword inscription before the impact. It created a very small explosion.
The explosion came from Trevon's sword instead of the bear's attack.
[I win... I finally win.] Trevon thought. "Huaaaaaaaaaaaaa...hahaha!!!" He felt he was the champion of the world.
However, Trevon couldn't enjoy his victory for long. Master Rabbink had seen the fight had ended. Therefore, the Rabbink removed the special barrier and allowed the demon beasts to roam the area.
[Gwah...!!!] Trevon started to run again. He was chased by some rhino-type demon beasts.
[NOOOO!!!] He dodged another pack of hyena-type demon beast. Before he ended being chased by a herd of goat-type demon beast.
[GAAAAAHHHH!!!] The young master then chased by a swarm of bee-type demon beast into a big house. [No... No... No...] He saw a fish pond.
[Sh*t!] He jumped into a small pond to avoid those bees. "Blarrr." A water screen hid him from the bees.
Trevon went outside the house after he felt that the bee didn't chase him again. He didn't forget to change into his full armor.
He saw the location. This was between Grand Master Vale's house and the recruitment field. Trevon knew the location. [Hahaha.]
The young master went into a small alley.
"Duar!!! Duar!!! Duar!!!"
[What is that?] Trevon shouted in his heart. He saw a pillar of flesh appeared from below the ground.
[Species: Earth Crunching Worm]
[Potential: 26/27]
[Ability: Drill, Bite, Body Slam]
"Gwah!!!" Trevon ran. However, more worms appeared from behind the ground.
"Duar!!! Duar!!! Duar!!!"
"Duar!!! Duar!!! Duar!!!"
"Duar!!! Duar!!! Duar!!!"
One by one, some worms filled the empty street. Trevon could see those worm pillars were getting closer to him.
[NooooOOOOOO!!!] Trevon almost wanted to cry. He saw the scenario of his death. Being smacked by the worm into the air.
"Duar!!!" A pillar of flesh appeared before Trevon. He could feel the wind blow his hair.
"Glup..." Trevon lost his hope.
[3 Paragraph Plot Armor Activated]
"Duar!!!" A pillar appeared just right behind him.
[I survived!!!] He thought. Trevon continued to run while those worms somehow had never appeared below him. He met a swarm of bee-type demon beasts. They used Sting Shoot. Miss... Trevon didn't get any stings. Trevon faced a tiger-type demon beast. Suddenly the tiger remembered, it hadn't cleaned its paw. It went to find a pond to wash its paw and leaving Trevon. Trevon ran again, this time it was a pig-type demon beast. Somehow the pig felt a heavy stomachache. It decided to find a toilet. He survived again. Trevon went to another corner and a snake-type demon beast appeared. The snake was about to bite Trevon when it remembered it had to fast today to celebrate the Snake God ascension a billion years ago.
"Gwahahaha. Don't you think this plot armor is great?" Master Rabbink laughed.
"Do not speak!" Trevon knew Master Rabbink would use an enter after every conversation. [Sh*t I replied to him.]
"Do not worry! My conversation doesn't count. I am a fair Rabbink. You still have two paragraphs worth plot armor."
"Do not dare to press enter!" Trevon didn't want to end his plot armor that fast. [That is one paragraph. He knew the Rabbink's writing style. Long and bad.]
"What?" Master Rabbink wanted to complain about the critic. Without using the enter key would also make its novel harder to read.
Trevon didn't want to converse with Master Rabbink. He needed to use his plot armor efficiently. The young master was this close to his family pavilion. Trevon entered a house. A giant rhinoceros appeared before him, however, it suddenly prayed to Rhino God. Trevon didn't know what it prayed about, but he decided to avoid it. He kicked a wall and entered the room. That wall turned into tofu. He saw some people looking at him with serious expressions. A man was about to speak when Trevon put his index finger to his own mouth. He didn't want this man to say a word and made him lose a paragraph. He quickly kicked a metal door and went to another room, leaving those people kowtowed behind. The young master kicked every door. He wanted to reach the back gate soon. After this gate, he would be close to his family pavilion.
Another kick and he opened the back door. He ran another block. Some monkey-type demon beasts started to chase him, but they slipped on their banana skins. They fell and became unconscious. Trevon then met with a pack of dog-type demon beast, but suddenly they ran into another direction. They saw some balls on the street and had to chase that ball. Trevon met a cat-type demon beast, but it was too lazy to chase Trevon. He met a turtle type demon beast, but it was also flipped when it tried to get to Trevon. Another banana skin made it slipped. Trevon ran closer to the pavilion. This time it was a rare demon beast. It was a sloth-type, it tried to chase Trevon. Nevertheless, Trevon was far faster than it. He then accidentally stepped on a Rank 3 tiger-type demon beast's tail. This turned out to be a fatal attack, the tiger cried and ran back into the forest. Trevon believed he had almost used his three paragraphs, he turned to look at Master Rabbink. He was lucky that his head's turn managed to avoid another projectile. He was so shocked and rolled to reach his family pavilion. He ran into a barrier before he used his last effort to make a long two-feet to two-feet jump. [Save!!!] He thought.
"GWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! THAT' S HURT!!! THAT'S HURT!!! RETREAT!!! RETREAT!!! RETREAT!!!" Trevon heard a voice under his feet. A human started to materialized from behind his feet.
"Finally, I could use my enter key again." Master Rabbink felt happy.
Trevon looked to the man under his feet.
[Name: Zhang Lang]
[Age: 862 Years]
[Sex: Male]
[Species: Gold Devouring Cockroach]
[Potential: 75/215]
[Determination: 96]
[Cultivation Speed: 92]
[Loyalty: 30]
[Decision Making: 43]
[Talent: Surviving, Cultivation, Fighting - Spear]
[Ability: Burrow, Bite, Detect, Dash, Fly, Diamond Body Art (Sky), Goliath Punch (Star), Shadow Blaze Steps (Earth)]
"WAAAA!!!" Trevon also screamed. [GAH! This is the big boss.] He jumped into his family pavilion.
[Lv 15 Forced Mission: Escape to the McArthur Redwood Pavilion!]
[Mission Completed]
[User got A Chance to Survive and 5 Special Destiny Energy]
Zhang Lang looked into Trevon. The forest king wanted to say something. His gaze was full of anger and resentment while his body was extremely hurt. Not even his feelers, his legs, and his wings survived the stomp. A beautiful face turned wicked from the pain. Redwood Forest King squeezed its own painful body while shaking from pain, fear, and anger.
"You..."
"That is dangerous. An attack from a person who is under a Plot Armor effect is very painful." Master Rabbink said. It didn't want to imagine the pain.
This made Trevon realized the reason that tiger ran with its tail. [The Plot Armor made all my attacks Over Powered.]
[Glup... How painful?] Trevon asked.
"It was a quadruple more painful than when your little brother kicked by a Fire Alogo."
Trevon didn't want to imagine the pain.
"Over there!!!" Michael's voice could be heard. He heard Zhang Lang's shout.
"Human. I will remember your face." Zhang Lang spoke slowly. The demon beast king still felt so much pain. He didn't know where today's event went wrong. [I can only accept my end. I will remember the man who defeated me.]
Last week he managed to defeat his last competitor a hydra-type demon beast. After making the Hydra into a jerky, he summoned many demon beasts to pray to the holy meteor. The meteor had given many demon beasts the chance to mutate, to grow stronger and break the limit. He believed it was the God's blessing to the beast.
However, when he got close to the site, some greedy humans detonated the holy meteor. That was a big war, a defile to the Holy Meteor. Humans had destroyed their forest, this time their God's Shrine.
Some flying demon beasts saw some human took a magnificent gem from the blast. Zhang Lang believed that was the Beast God's artifact. He chased those humans to the city with all the forest's power.
The king decided to send an all-out beast waves to teach these humans some lesson. It was a success. He managed to destroy a part of the wall and a defense tower as planned. A quarter of the city came under the attack of the demon beasts. However, when he was about to destroy another tower, a powerful warrior appeared from God knew where. Zhang Lang was stomped in his original body. [I can't escape, but my fellow demon beasts must survive.] That was his thought when he decided to issue a retreat order.
[No. No. No.] Trevon quickly turned his body, removed his helmet, and used his Disguise skill.
"Eh? Who are you?" Zhang Lang was surprised. He believed this person suddenly changed into another person. However, he was always there in front of him.
"Hahaha! This is my real face. Remember this!" Trevon wouldn't show his real face to this demon.
"Fine. I will remember that." Zhang Lang knew some expert loved to use some disguise. [That handsome face was a disguise for this real face. A Rank 4 warrior won't need to use trickery.]
Zhang Lang looked carefully at this face. He memorized the face carefully. The king was waiting for the expert to give him his glorious death. [Eh? He didn't attack me again?]
[He didn't want to kill me? Gr...] Zhang Lang had never felt as much anger as today. The king turned his injured body and ran into the wall direction.
Zhang Lang had never been this injured even when he fought other king candidates. A single stomp and he was this hurt. However, the person didn't think he was worth killing. This mockery was more painful than his body.
[He must be this country's Rank 4 expert. Wait for my payback!] Zhang Lang promised to return this humiliation. The Rank 4 warrior released him and didn't kill him. This was his life-disgrace, a slap to his hard efforts in cultivation.
[You may think I am only a weak cockroach. I will find you. And I will defeat you in the future...] He looked toward the north.
