Novel Full Chapter 102 Daring Beast
Bright rays of sunlight passed through the gaps between the leaves of the tall trees towering above and shined on a pair of closed eyelids, irritating them and forcing them open.
“Ughh” the owner of this pair of eyes groaned out as pushed himself up to a sitting position, feeling a little sore all over, but other than that his body seemed to be in pretty good shape.
The just awoken individual rubbed his head with his hand as the last thumps of a weak headache faded away, he blinked his dark eyes a couple of times before they finally adjusted to the current brightness and then he observed his surroundings.
Tall trees, green bushes, not too dry ground, and the sun which seemed to be just rising over the horizon, more of its rays passing through the tree leaves and shining on the weary form of Evary Seth.
“Where am…” Seth was about to say before he paused due to the thick sticky feeling in his mouth, and moving his tongue around his mouth, he felt tidbits of flesh stuck in his teeth, and feeling disgusted, he spat out a mouthful of saliva, remaining transfixed by the sight of his blood red spit.
Seth ran his tongue through his mouth once again but found no injuries, meaning that the blood and flesh in his mouth were obviously not his.
“Did I go all blood rage on some settlement or something” Seth wondered remembering his feelings of bloodlust when he had last been self-conscious.
Seth began looking around wanting to see if he could find the source of whatever he had just consumed, though he felt himself shuddering at the thought that he had been tearing through and chewing on human flesh.𝗈𝐯𝐞𝑙xt.𝑐𝐎𝓜
Just a turnaround and Seth was welcomed to footprints drenched in blood which led right to him, and it was at this point that his eyes finally settled on the state of his clothes.
Well thankfully he wasn’t naked and still had his clothes on, but well their blood-soaked state left a story of untold carnage.
Sighing to himself, Seth followed the bloody footprints, heading into a mass of thick bushes and vines, though at one point he had to pause at the eerie silence that permeated his surroundings before moving on.
Just a few steps capable of taking him to the top of one of the towering trees and Seth was welcomed to a baffling scene.
Seth had expected to see the bones of some unfortunate individual or the bodies of some beasts, well he did see a beast, but the towering skeleton of the beast lying before him had Seth blinking his eyes his disbelief.
Last time he had gone on a hunger rampage and consumed a huge beast on his own, but even then huge chunks of its flesh had been left around, but for this beast, other than the pools of blood which were scattered around and the abandoned organs, anything else which could be referred to as the beast flesh had been consumed, and the scariest thing was that the previous beast he had eaten was not even half the size of the skeleton he was currently staring at.
Seth stared at his belly and then the beast, looking back and forth as he found it impossible that he alone had consumed such a titan, but his twitching nose had him sighing in defeat.
A deep breath of his surroundings and other than his scent and that of the beast, he could smell nothing else, he even went around hoping to pick up on a foreign scent, but his efforts were in vain.
“Should be a Rank 9 beast” Seth said out loud as he moved forward and rubbed his hand over the beast’s still fresh ribcage, the intensity of the dispersing qi telling the tale of the majestic beast he had most likely ended.
“Now just where am I,” Seth thought deciding to forget about the fallen beast, and know the forest he had run to this time, jogging away to further investigate.
Once again, other than the noise of his feet stumping the ground and this time the foul stench of the blood on his person, the forest was drowned in silence, every animal fleeing from his current position like he was a plague or an apex predator.
A few minutes later, Seth was hit with a feeling of Déjà vu, forcing him to stop in his tracks as he keenly observed the forest but couldn’t really make out any feature that stood out, “besides when have I ever been in a forest that housed a rank 9 beast” he thought.
Calculating that he had just run some hundred miles away from Alice’s garden, Seth was more than sure he was within the jurisdiction of some Grade A city or higher, so he immediately wrote off his feelings of Déjà vu and continued his jog.
Minutes later, a majestic roar originating from Seth spread from his position into the forest, traveling for miles all around him and finally eliciting screams and sounds from the beasts which they hit.
With his hands folded, Seth waited for a few minutes and in the end, a towering tiger tentatively walked up to him, its eyes staring at the ground and not daring to look up at him.
A few steps from Seth, the tiger stopped moving and meekly growled out in subservience and readiness to serve, and for the second time since he woke up, Seth stared blinking continuously at the tiger to make sure he was not hallucinating.
“Perhaps I overestimated the strength of my roar and my orders didn’t go far,” Seth thought and decide to question the tiger.
“You’re the strongest,” Seth asked, and the tiger growled in acceptance and growled some more.
The tiger’s answer had Seth taking a look around the forest in confusion, earlier he had roared out, demanding for the strongest beast that heard his call to come to him and this tiger had come forth, and now the tiger was boasting to him about it being the strongest in the whole Forest after Seth questioned it.
Whether the tiger was strongest or not didn’t really matter to Seth, his main problem was the fact that a rank 6 beast actually had the audacity to call itself the strongest in a forest where he had just downed a rank 9 beast.
