Chapter 4089: Three Days



"Half a day more," I thought as I looked map flashing in front of me.

It had been three days since I had come here, and it was filled with danger.

It will take me another half-day to get out of the boundary of this forest. Outside of it is also a forest, but it is a different forest with little less dangerous monsters.

Most importantly, there is no king in it.

Though only in part, every other part surrounding it had the kings.

They are not rare in this realm. There are tens of them; some even said their number reached over a hundred.

I wish I could say it is preposterous, but it's not actually.

The energy is dense in this realm, and resources are abundant. If it were not for the difficulty of breaking through the absolute limit, there would have been thousands.

This realm had the capability to support many easily.

Another reason for the small numbers is a culling that happens when the Primes arrive.

Even at such numbers, I am scared. Nearly every person, other than the shaman, is. These monsters could kill us with a single attack.

That's why it is becoming more important that I practice the azure cycle here daily two times a day.

I am planning despite the massive risks.

I would have done that, even if there were no kings. The opportunity is too big. The three months could give me the benefits of seven years.

Now, I am hoping, the realm would stay open for longer.

It usually closes between three to seven months. It is hard to predict when it will. The indication appeared before it did; the indication is quite clear.

It is when the limit of the realm breaks and Primes enter.

Three weeks from then, the realm closes.

I pushed those thoughts away and moved ahead. I needed to get out of this forest before I stopped for the night.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

That shouldn't be a problem. I am moving at descent speed, avoiding every monster, I am coming across and keeping an eye for the king.

Most of my focus is on the king. I knew if it came, I would have barely a second to hide.

Though, if it came like last time, spreading his majesty. I would have minutes, but I am not counting on that. I need to be prepared for the worst possible outcome.

Soon, it is late afternoon, within an hour.

The sun will start to go out and energy and suppression will increase, and powerful monsters will come out.

It was also at night, the king seemed to be coming out the most.

Though, I don't have enough data to support it. It's why I am not letting go of my caution. Hun!

A few minutes passed when I sensed something. Monsters coming toward me.

Not me.

A black-scaled lizard monster is chasing a bull monster. The bull is injured with claw marks everywhere across his body, which are bleeding profusely.

Their speed is fast, and both of the monsters are at an absolute limit.

Seeing that, I hid behind the tree and activated the steady stealth.

Time passed, and they entered my soul senses's range and a few seconds after that. I could see them.

The bull was running fast, with everything it had. Crushing anything that came in its way. It didn't matter whether it was a tree or a boulder, it was getting crushed.

It had also killed a few monsters, that had come in its way.

The same for the lizard that is following it. Its eyes are locked on the bull; it is its prey, and it wants to kill it.

A bull jumped through a small ravine and came to the other side when my expression changed. 'Fuck!" I cursed in my heart.

The bull is coming at me, or rather the tree behind which I am hiding. If it did what it was doing, it would be crushed through the tree.

That would be bad for me.

I need to dodge it, and I only have a moment before it is only a few hundred meters away from

it.

The distance it would cross in a moment.

The decision was instant; there was no other choice. It is that or be on the path of the monster.

So, I moved away from the tree. Hoping I wouldn't get discovered by the monsters coming toward me really fast.

BANNNG!

A moment later, the bull crushed through the tree, like I had expected, and ran away as it was doing, while the lizard behind him came to a halt.

Its yellow-blue slitted eyes focused on me.

I couldn't see myself clearly, but it could sense me. I could feel its presence on me.

I am in stealth, but I moved when the distance between us was less than a hundred meters. It might not have discovered me if I had moved slowly, but here I moved fast, lessening the

stealth.

Even at this level, stealth is only effective till the enemy doesn't sense you.

If they sense you, then they know there is something and they will find it. Especially the monsters of these levels, within such a small space.

Buzz!

Feelings of its eyes and presence, I sighed, and twelve balls, that move with me activated.

I didn't move to attack it.

If it left, I would leave it alone too. I do not have any intention of fighting it, despite wanting

to.

It is a dangerous monster and its home ground. It had the advantage of energy and

suppression. Fighting it wouldn't be wise.

Seconds passed, and the monster stayed in its place without doing anything.

I didn't move either and focused on the monster. Which is nearly three times as me, with long

legs, and thick black scales on it.

It is a powerful monster, without a doubt.

Despite the same level as the bull, it had injured it heavily and made it run away.

Roar!

I felt the change, and it roared before leaping toward me at a really fast speed.
