Change of plans?

'What was the monster that owned that blood? … Just trying to imagine it already gives me chills. … Ah, I forgot to tell the boy to be careful with his eyes… well, anytime he will realize that. '

Thought the wolf as she looked at Noah

already gone away.

******

"Where is this city? The map says that she is here, but I don't see anything. "

Noah asked as he looked at the system map.

[Oh! I did not say?]

"What is it this time?"

Noah asked with the tone of anger in his voice.

[… The 26 km was after the forest.]

[… And this map has the image far away…]

"What a…"

Noah said irritably as he zoomed in on the map and saw that Km 25.5 was still missing.

Without having much to do other than scream at the air Noah looked at the map and went slowly towards the city.

*********

And so 1 hour went by with Noah walking slowly towards the city, and as he walked he felt his stomach rumbling and said "Shit I completely forgot ... hey where is that pill you gave me?"

[The pill stayed on the floor of the tunnel.]

"What a…"

"Ronc!"

Noah's belly snoring.

"Don't you have another pill like that?"

Noah asked with his hand on his belly.

[Negative!]

[That was the only one!]

"That's wonderful…"

Noah spoke as he continued to walk slowly.

Even though Noah was already out of the forest of demonic beasts, he was still in a place surrounded by trees, they were much smaller trees than those in the demonic forest, reaching about half the size of the smallest trees there.

And as the moonlight walked through the trees Noah saw a tree full of fruit "... Is that ... are these apples !?" exclaimed Noah, happy to have found something to eat.

After seeing those apples, Noah without thinking twice ran towards the tree and climbed on top of one of its branches "... This is very good!" exclaimed Noah as he ate one of the apples.

Noah spent twenty minutes eating several apples on the branch of the tree, and while he ate them he was not paying attention to anything else, including his surroundings.

And even though Noah "came out" of the demon beast forest, he was still around, so obviously there would be a lot of beasts in that place, they would be beasts that are nothing compared to the others he had already encountered, but they are still beasts demonic.

So while he was enjoying those delicious apples, slowly a huge beast was approaching him. And since Noah was not paying attention to his surroundings, that beast easily managed to silently climb the tree and reach behind him.

[Notice!]

[Dodge!]

Noah slowly turned around while saying, "Oh, there's a funny one, because I should ... what the fuck!" and by sheer reflex punching the head of the huge snake that was ready to attack him from behind.

And when Noah landed the punch, the snake's head disappeared completely in midair "Wow, am I that strong?" Noah asked before taking a bite of the apple in his hand.

[This is just a snake in the rank 2 soldier rank.]

[It was not even to be called a beast.]

"… You really don't let me dream for a second, do you?"

Noah exclaimed as he tossed the apple in his hand and jumped off the branch of the tree.

Standing on the ground, Noah went over to the snake and began to analyze. And after a few minutes of analyzing it, Noah finally accepted that it really was just a much larger snake than the others.

Noah sighed and asked the system, "How long will it take me to get to the city at this rate?" while he continued on his way.

[At this rate, you won't be there until tomorrow morning.]

"What if I run?"

Noah asked.

[… I think you would get there a little after dawn.]

"Just before dawn, right?"

Noah whispered thoughtfully.

"... I think the sooner I get there the better ..."

Noah stopped walking after saying that, took a deep breath, and ran with all his strength to the north while occasionally taking a little look at the map to see if he was going in the right direction.

*********

After running for 2 hours and 40 minutes straight Noah arrived on a small hill full of green grasses, and with a wonderful view of a small lake with sparkling and crystalline waters, which a little later, behind a small path full of trees around it was the city, full of lights shining on all sides.

"Ufa! …Finally!"

Noah exclaimed as he collapsed sitting on the floor tiredly.

"Whoa! This is very beautiful! … I think I'm starting to rethink my plans. "

Noah spoke, impressed by how beautiful the image was seen of the city, just before dawn.

[But weren't you going to get the moon pill for the Star Demon Wolf?]

"And what does this have to do with? Can't I just buy it in this city? "

Noah asked as he looked to the brilliant lake.

[This is not an easy pill to make or buy. It is a Grade 5 pill so few alchemists in the world are able to do it, and I highly doubt that one of those alchemists is in this small town.]

"… Okay, you don't have to worry. I've already said what I think of promises, haven't I? "

Said Noah as he got up from the floor, and tapped his clothes to remove the crap.

After getting up Noah moved slowly towards the entrance to the city, but when he was in the middle of the field with the wind blowing hard on his face and the grass being pushed south, he stopped for a moment and remembered some of the wolf's words and thought 'What would people think if they came to meet me, with my body stinking like that?' while sniffing the back of one of his hands.

Noah thought about it and decided it was better to go to the lake before going to the city, he was walking towards the lake and in the middle of the way he asked the system of the snake in my body? " for curiosity.

[The effect of the blood does not last forever. He would remove the weak beasts for a maximum of 40 minutes, removing the beasts with a good sense of smell, these would still be removed by the smell and not by the intimidating aura that the blood passes to these weak beasts.

"So that's why the wolf was able to feel the blood but the snake was not?"

Noah asked.

[The snake did feel the pressure caused by the blood, but it only felt it when it got too close to your body, which is why it became paralyzed in that way, giving you a chance to attack it.]

"I understood. … So now let me ask you one last question. … Why is this so easy? … Was it not for me to suffer when I arrived in this world? Not that I'm saying that the experience in the forest was a good one, but it helped me more than it hindered me. And I'm not even going to talk about your bloodlines. "

Said Noah as he stopped for a moment in the trees and looked at the system.

[Noah Evil was supposed to suffer from childhood when he came to this world. However, when his memories were analyzed it was decided that this would not be necessary, and that everything that happened in this world with you would be decided by himself, from the moment of arrival until death. That is why you came to this world already with the body of an adult.]

"So I have complete control over my life, and that I can still always count on you?"

Noah asked with a smile on his face.

[Affirmative!]

"Okay, forget the last part, I can always count on you, right?"

Noah said that and then chuckled as he leaned against a tree.

"... Okay, let me go clean up quickly, that soon the sun will rise and I will go to my first city in this world."

Noah spoke as he tried to stop laughing with tears in his eyes.

[Often? It almost seems that it is almost always.]

Noah smiled a little when he heard the words of the system, and started taking off his clothes since the lake was already on the other side of the trees. And after he finished undressing Noah took his clothes in his hand and placed them on the edge of the lake.

After doing this Noah asked the system to deliver it to Sword of Blood so that he could clean it too, even though he knew that it absorbed all the blood so he would hardly be dirty with anything. Soon after the system handed him the sword, Noah plunged slowly into the lake, holding it in his left hand.
