Chapter 003 :Shooting star

The shadow wolf and Arthur staring at each other, they're doing the same thing but with different reasons.

The shadow wolf wants to see what the prey will do now because just a moment ago the prey that will end up in its mouth vanished so in fear of losing the prey for the second time the shadow wolf needs to watch the movement of its prey attentively.

As for Arthur? He not staring the wolf for nothing, but he tries to use his new ability on the several trees and lastly on the shadow wolf itself.

Fortunately, he just needs to use his will to attach the seal on something so the limitation for touching the target first is ceased to exist.

And why he didn't wish for teleportation power without the need for a seal? That's because there is a time he read an explanation of teleportation magic in a novel which is he thinks as a plausible explanation.

In the book it said if the wizard need to know or marked the coordinate where he or she wants to teleport beforehand if not there will be a certain chance accident will happen, like appear inside a solid rock, appear in front of carriage that's moving very fast, or even if your destination is house of someone else you know there is a possibility you will appear inside the bathroom... and that's dangerous thing with different risk and outcome.

The book is one of his favorite novels so the author's explanation is influencing his way of thinking. And as for the other reason? He is fans of naruto series and the character that Arthur likes is not the main protagonist but Namikaze Minato because of his trademark jutsu, in other words, the wish he makes is for satisfying his childish dream.

Back to the cornered Arthur

After successfully placing several seals in different places Arthur formulate the battle inside his head, honestly his leg feels very weak but he knows if he shows his fear more than this, then in the next moment he will become the shadow wolf's food.

He didn't want to die, not for the second time. He wants to cherish his second chance, that's why he needs to fight and he needs to calm.

Arthur takes a breath and his eyes never leave the shadow wolf figure and then... Arthur attaches his seal one the shadow wolf!

The shadow wolf and Arthur move at the same time.

The shadow wolf make a large and powerful jumping and try to reach Arthur as fast as possible with its mouth wide open, but Arthur didn't slow either because just after he attaches his seal on the wolf's body Arthur teleport to one of the trees he marked previously because he knows the wolf will move immediately if he attaches his seal on its body.

This is not because Arthur can predict the movement or intentions of the shadow wolf but it was because of the footnote about his ability. 'For an entity that has power multiple times stronger then the user they can feel the seal if attach to their body'

Of course, it can feel the seal and get rid of it is different things, but the shadow wolf stronger than Arthur is a fact and Arthur is aware of this. So instead of gambling, the possibility for the shadow wolf will not move he would rather get away from his previous place.

The shadow wolf let out a growl because the prey is vanished once again and reappear in another place, its dignity is challenged because the shadow wolf thinks its prey is just playing around with it.

Arthur teleport from one tree to another tree and it makes the shadow wolf slightly dizzy, but his goal is not to confuse the wolf but to pick several pebbles that scattered on the ground.

Feeling a little confident with his own performance Arthur start his plan. Arthur teleport to the top of a tree before he throws one of pebble he has to the sky and when the pebble is at the highest point it can reach Arthur appear and throw another pebble, and he repeats it several times.

The shadow wolf that is watching what its prey doing has an uneasy feeling if the prey has the ability to jumping to the sky then why it did not run away? I will not become retard if I eat retard prey, right?

The higher the prey jump to the sky the greater anxiety that the shadow wolf feels and the shadow wolf retreat instinctively but alas it was too late because Arthur already put a mark on its body.

When the last pebble is thrown out of his hand and when the pebble reaches its highest point what appears next is not Arthur but the retreating shadow wolf, as for Arthur he is already back to the trees before he teleports to the sky.

"I reach that high without a plane?" Arthur look at a little black dot in the sky and he feels surprised with the high he reaches

Following the gravity law, the shadow wolf is falling from the sky and flailing it leg but of course,e there is nothing that it paw can reach and with a loud thudding sound the shadow wolf that falls head-on first turn from shadow wolf to headless wolf.

^Congratulations for hos first kill^

^Rewarding First Kill Achievements: Shooting Star^

^ +10 system point ^

Arthur didn't take a look at the reward he received immediately but he teleports to the top of tree first, when he is in the sky Arthur can see a very vast forest that makes it look like a boundless forest and it was impossible such forest just have one monster so Arthur need to priority his safety before he looks at his reward.

Shooting Star: In the myth, it said this set of throwing knife is made from a star that falls to the ground and crash to the volcanic mountain in the ocean and create a huge disaster, but the star is still intact even if a bunch of thunder and lightning hit this fallen star. 100 years after the disaster a divine blacksmith makes a set of throwing a knife from this stone and successfully creating a masterpiece.

"Holly mother!!! It's a divine weapon! Praise the magic conch shell!!!" Arthur feels excited because if the system states it was a divine weapon then it must be, not because he fully trusts the system but because there is no other way to found out it was a divine weapon or not but the description of this weapon is enough to make Arthur excited.

^For host convenience status window is created and can be open with just your thoughts^

"status!" Instead of spelling it inside his head Arthur shout it out, why? Because this thing is a dream of every person who read about game elements or virtual reality novel, and now he has one!

Host: Arthur Spencer

Age: 23

Modifications: -

System point: 10

Equipment: Lugunica Knight Suit, Shooting Star Set

Ability: Hiraishin no Jutsu

^You need to clear hidden objectives if you want to open more services^

"Lugunica Knight Suit... shadow wolf... it most likely I in the Re zero world, right?" One of his favorite anime comes to his mind when he lists the two things he encounters and comparing it with his knowledge "But it's still not hundred percent true... there is a lot of novel, anime, and movie that have that type of monster so I can't make a hasty conclusion"

Instead of making a pointless guess Arthur decides to plays with his status window and open a modifications section and find many type modifications but after some scrolling and filtering Arthur decides to buy Golden Eagles Eyes ability.

Golden Eagles Eyes: improve user vision and accuracy, after modifications user eyes can see clearly up to one thousand meters.

●50 system point

Or so that's what he intended to do

"What a let down... why life is not easy" if one shadow wolf is giving him ten system points then he needs to kill another four shadow wolf if he wants that modification "Killing one is tiring enough and now I need to kill four?"

When Arthur contemplating there is a rustling sound heard from different directions and one after another shadow wolf is keeping coming to the shadow wolf corpse that Arthur killed. The number of the shadow wolf is keeping increasing and there is no more shadow wolf coming after it reaches fifteen.

Arthur didn't dare to make a move because he fears they will attack him at the same time, using the throwing knife? But he is too weak, even if the knife can reach ten thousand meters with his strength it was questionable if he can throw the knife for fifty meters, and for killing the shadow wolf? Let's forget it.

"Wait... they can feel something is attached to their body but they can't track me with just this right? Let's try it!"

This story is base on my own imagination so if you think it was unreasonable then we're at different wavelengths.
