Chapter 284: Final Practical Exam (Island) VII

[Island]

After cutting down the initial ants that he had faced, he then suddenly felt tremor along the surface of the ground, as a dozen more ants popped out in between the huge trees and attacked him on his left.

Due to this Shun quickly jumped away, as he begun to use "Ghost" and tried to outrun the ants. Unfortunately Shun didn't expect just how fast ants travel, especially when it's chasing a fleeing target.

If Shun ran away so fast as if he just turned into flash, the ants then chased after him like a speeding bullet, just to catch up to him. Those monsters didn't care if there were obstacles or not, as long as they catch up to Shun, that was all they need

Upon seeing that the ants were unrelentless, Shun begun climbing unto trees as he jumped in between branches and arrived before a cliff. Without any signs of hesitation, Shun ran up to the cliff, as he jumped off the edge, just in time to make the ants nearly miss him by a hairs breath.

While taking a huge jump off the cliff, Shun them turned his whole body around while in mid air, as he gathered flames into his mouth and spewed out flames squarely towards the ants.

"Flame Breath!!!"

The moment Shun released Shyvana's skills unto the ants, a huge explosion rung out, which caused a shockwave and further pushed Shun to the ground. Just like anyone's expected, Shun crashed down unto the ground which caused a few trees and rocks to be broken apart, as he groans and felt back pain from his hard fall.

"Oh how I wish I landed on a sofa..."

Slowly getting up after falling down hard, he then limped for a bit before he puts his hand unto the tree and slumped down to rest. Now that he fell off the cliff, he has no idea where he is, in fact he is practically lost on this place.

As if that wasn't enough rain drops finally pour down the skies as Shun has no choice but to take cover from the rain underneath the thick leaves of the tree and hope he could find something to keep him warm. On the other hand, he is also beginning to question where was Rek'sai. After all he is pretty sure had ordered that champion to clean out the area off of monsters. But since the ants was there, then Rek'sai could possibly failed at its task.

"Just where the hell is Rek'sai"

*********

Meanwhile somewhere deep under the ground, Rek'sai discovered the long tunnel made by the ants, as it begun to do its job and eliminate the enemy ants before it.

It's task was going smoothly in fact it was too smooth that Rek'sai begun to notice that something was wrong. Without wasting time any longer, Rek'sai begun investigating this case, until they found a huge dome like area which is filled with glowing stones on the ceiling.

However the things that was below that glowing treasury of stones, was a whole body of the ant queen and its fellow ants. On top of its corpse was Lorius, who seemingly just finished an operarion.

With Lorius himself, killing a huge boss was nothing of grandiose, after all he is so strong that to the point that Shun can't keep up with the growth itself.

In that moment when Rek'sai was silently trying to crawl away Lorius suddenly jerkwd awake as he sensed a creature moving nearby and sent a huge slash towards it direction, causing a massive explosion to rung out and destroy the walls of the dome like chamber.

Unknown to Lorius, he had actually mistook Rek'sai signature to a monster signature, which caused him to attack and kill Rek'sai in half. In just one attack, Rek'sai had been killed, causing Shun to realize that Rek'sai had died.

*********

"He died, Rek'sai died"

For once Shun was shocked that there was a monster of Rek'sai caliber that could take her down and killed her at the same time. After all based on her lore and past recurrence, Rek'sai is often associated with the shurima's monster or devil. So the only monsters that could take Rek'sai down are those greater than him or abysmally stronger than it.

Unfortunately Shun is in no position to search for such monster, after all it is now raining heavily, which forced Shun to hide inside the opening in the tree turnks and waited for the rain to stop.

In fact while waiting for the rain to stop. While waiting he begun to wonder what is exactly the rain and how it's differ it is back on earth.

Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then become heavy enough to fall under gravity. Water vapor is present in our atmosphere and when the water vapor rises in the atmosphere it cools and³ condenses from a gas to a liquid through the process of condensation.

There are a number of factors that contribute to the formation of rain in the atmosphere. The movement of air in our atmosphere, temperature changes, and various geological features can all play a role in the formation of rainfall.

Rain may seem like a relatively easy form of precipitation to identify, but there are very specific requirements for precipitation to be considered rain. For meteorologists, a raindrop must have a diameter equal to, or greater than, 0.5 mm to be considered a raindrop. Smaller drops of water whose diameters happen to be smaller than 0.5 mm would be considered drizzle.

As Shun thought of this, his stomach then silently growled, causing him to imagine thr food in front of him.

"Goddammit, if only I manage to find single edible monster"

As Shun said this words deep inside of the tree trunk, he then begun to concentrate fully to in order for the concentration to nullify his need of being hungry. No matter what he refuses to lose in this moment.
