Chapter 70

The breathing before felt twice as efficient as my normal breathing in this climate/era, but now rather than just improving my breathing, it felt as if it was giving me a newfound vigor to run faster than I had ever before.

My body was bustling with energy and even felt like it might have exploded at any time if I was not careful, but at the end that did not happen.

When I was finally 10 meters away from the source, I looked right up at the golden fruit that dangled off one of the branches of the trees before me.

Forcing myself to look through the light of the fruit, I finally saw it.

The fruit which dangled off the tree was like one I had never seen before. It had a stem, just like an apple but at the same time, its shape was a little more angular and elongated.

Its shape resembled that of a crystal-like raspberry the size of one's palm, being split into different sections as if they were scales that could very very easily be cut into.

"REHAAAAAAAAAAAH"

The woman finally gave out a mind-rattling screech as it saw that I was looking at her, before turning into a blur and coming towards me with killing intent visibly radiating off her.

The killing intent was red yet at the same time, it was mixed with a deep black hue that overshadowed the rest of the red making it seem much less crimson than one would think at first glance.

However, no matter how fast she was, it was too late since I had already found my way up the branch and had cut the stem off with my ax allowing me to put away my weapon and grab the fruit before running away at full speed. At the same time, while I might have been too busy thinking of the best ways to run, I heard a distinct 'ding' that could not help but ingrain itself deep into my mind.

[Ding!]

[Obligatory Notification: A mysterious energy is running rampant within the fruit you are holding]

[Suggestion: Do not consume the fruit until full analysis is complete]

Simultaneously, I heard dozens of roars, the most prominent one being the one that came out of the woman's mouth.
