32 King Treant

*** Log ***

A Giant Treant, or more precisely a King Treant, some sort of guardian of the southern area.

Unike the Western and Eastern sides that is infested by hostile monsters, there is only a guardian on the Southern area that has a very unique skill

The southern area was the area where the most richest soil and plantation.

A sheltered habitat filled to the brim with nature.

The area in itself spans and is the largest in the whole forest, and it was also the most populated area due to its peaceful nature.

Filled with animals in each corner and only a few monsters on its vicinity.

With pure mana influence near it, it was also the richest area

The King Treant is actually just a lost normal treant at the beginning, it was born from Regular mana interference, result by mana influx or unusual gathering of mana in one spot, it is also affected by high amount of nature influence like forest or plantation, however due to the large influence of nature, mana, and environment on the southern area, it grew in size as well as strength.

Completely dominating and finally owning the territory

"!?"

Stopping my movement and ducking down, a large tree trunk hit the trees in front of me, paving them and making them fall

I then hopped on top of them, went beside them, as I continue my run

The Giant treant, seing its projectile miss its target had no choice but to give pursuit

Ive been running for a little while now, calming myself as I remained focused on the enemy.

There is only one thing to note so far.

Its movement doesn't seems to be that high, that is to consider the obstacles like trees that hinder it.

However the thing was the unexplainable ability to launch projectjle with precision

Its still difficult to outrun it, there are also trees on my way and there is also a chance of unexpected ambush lying behind the trees

I have to get out of this mess, but it seems that I can't just simply do that

I stop my movements and turned around, the Giant treant is still there and is still trying to chase me.

But its eyes, its steadily locked into me...

Was it just intimidation?

Or is it focusing on me way too much...

Anyways the tress behind me seems to lead further into the forest, great chances for me to get lost

"So... ugh... I need to fight..." The intimidation was still there, it momentarily faded away when im running, but its going back now that I stopped moving...

Seriously this isn't going good, I managed to calmed down when I'm running away but now its gradually coming back

I weaved my hands on the bushes when I tried to run, but its not definitely a good sensation

The sun isn't visible yet, only the shade and light rays under the trees

Now that I remember it, its too early...

Using my hands I clasp them both together

"Fuuuuh~...." A slow breathing to calm myself, then I began to sense my mana. Actually I have never been on a fight so I couldn't think properly without calming myself, much more so to calmly breathe when I'm running

"I-It worked" haaah... its getting close now... as the mana now made its way into my vein, I calmed myself once again

Then I rushed once again but this time just around it

"You've gotta be fuckkng kidding me" its head turns like a mechanical CCTV without missing my movements while its body is slowly turning into me

It grabbed the nearby tree uprooted and quickly threw it at my direction

I hastily threw myself forward but my shoulders grazed the tree in front of me

"Ughh..." it didn't hurt much, but I lost my balance and fall to the ground

I get up, but the intimidation is getting stronger, and its definitely affecting my actions

I Clenched my fist, there is something that I remember last time but never managed to try

On the magic system status, there are things that I didn't use, due to their complexity

Non-elemental magic

Space magic

Creation magic

There is no use for elemental magic at this moment, so I have to be as crafty as possible

Non-elemental, aside from that, there are nothing in my mind about the two, there is also a clue on possible interpretation for it, but its just hard to imagine how it'll possibly work

Majority of my skills can't be used at the moment, Ah now that I remember I do have shapeshift... Wait seriously now?

"Wait a sec, but if I can't access system, how can I do stuff?"

"!" I dodged the tree once again, I think im getting used to it

Left, right, left, right, east, west... ughh east? west? now that I think about it where did the sun rise from again?

Ahh shit Did I really forget that now? Ughh, now that I think about it I lose my sense of direction if I don't know where should I go

Think, think, East right? it should be, cause I think I linked sunset for cowboys on the west, So it should be right?...

Nevermind, I should probbably just follow the sun for now...

"What the heck!?" The eyes were still pointing at me, but its pace gradually increased as well... INCREASED AS WELL

"Fuck, fuck" I tried to hastily sense my mana once again, "I don't care about system anymore, I dont wanna die anymore"

The mana sent coldness into my veins, and it traveled literally everywhere, Using that as a reference, I tried to rummage my head and think about the possibilities, non-elemental please work!!!

"Body strengthening" mana moved from my veins and then dispersed into my body, when I thought that it failed I noticed the change in my senses, I could physically feel something a few distance from my skin, it felt like a magnet to me, also the heavy feeling from intimidation gradually loosen up

"Yes yes with this--" My improved senses detected something wrong in front of me, the many rows of trees suddenly stopped somewhere, ways past there, I could no longer feel anything

"Huh?" Sniff sniff, something tickled my nose, I remember this smell once... I wonder where

"!"

I looked behind me, but the attack didn't came, Ah? it didn't hit me? It's the first miss then, but the Giant treant... wait! it is gradually changing color!

It roared once again and lean forward as it chases in front of me, it now used its arm now to run, Its color changed into more metal-ish

Huh, this cant be..., I grit my teeth and face forward, the treant's speed gradually increased

"Fuuuuh..." once again I breathe calmly, then with a frown in my face, I pressed it as hard as I could and force myself to run faster

I could feel the effect of the strengtening, my speed itself increased and I could now run faster. Thinking about it... is that my body's build shouldn't even be able to manage this feat, even running for long term before the magic, as my feet were smaller, I have to use more effort in running

But its cute so I guess its Ok?, no seriously I need to speed up...

The bushes in front of me were getting thicker, along with the trees, but I remember that theres something forward that I should take note

Hmm... just a few thick bushes in front of me...

*Zhiiirrp*

"Huh?..." With my sharpened senses I felt and heard something wrong, but its too close to me.

I turn my eyes downward only to see my clothes that got ripped

"Ah?... What!" its getting ripped to pieces, those bushes were dangerous, but luckily theres no cuts in there

The Giant Treant was still there, and I'm still locked on.

I think my clothes could no longer take it, I tried to moved my wings till I reached it with my hands, because its hard to move it yet, I used my hands to wrap it into me as I charge forward to whatever thing made the tree formation stop

One final bush at a distance...

*rustle*

"Ah?..." I lost my footing, a sudden lower step paving, I lost balance and dived forward without idea whats in front of me

I gripped on the recent bush as I forcefully control my body

Another blunder... Ah I remembered same on the stone cliffs...

I released my hasty breathing, and tried to calm down once again, I just remembered something...

I pumped mana into my body and forcefully path it into my hands, It hurts so much, But its still bearable

"Fuuuh~~" I didn't manage to check whats behind the bushes but I extended my arm and point it on the treant...

"Haaaaaah~" I released my breathing and pin-pointed a specific area in front of me

I then started to gather mana in there, The treant seems to flinch in there, and stopped.

But it still continued to walk on my direction

I tried to predict its movement, but it slowed its movement but I guess I could still hit it, then again its still an AOE skill, one that I knew for sure that will work

"Fuuuh~" I take a breathe again till the lungs were full

The treant moving forward gradually speed up

Did it think its a faint? huh?

That sudden action caught me abit on surprise, but I pressed my lungs, and released it slowly as I forcefully eject mana from my body, this time its faster

The compressed breathing ease abit of the pain that I had

A few meters away and I decided it was time...

"Finale..."

Boom, an explosion erupted and my hearing got shut down in just a second, my vision is barely making it, I saw the treant still locked on me, moved abit when the explosion fired, but I knew how strong the magic were

I lost my balance, the wind pumped quickly in front of me

Radiating lights, but then in another seconds, all the trees got blown off but my eyes are still keeping up

"!?"

I saw a tree coming at my direction, even my senses fired off, but my body resigned already and I couldn't move anymore

A sharp sting, along with losing my step on the ground

I got blown off

I dont know why but I lost my senses after that

The ground felt like getting further away..., huh?

The ground, where is it now?

I felt that Im falling... or airborne for way too long already

Falling...

Its the edge of a cliff?

My vision darkened and after a few seconds, so as my consciousness

The last thing I felt is my whole body suddenly feeling cold and nothing else...
