Chapter 77

Just like with the body of the woman, the hairs missed me by a millimeter, barely grazing my cheek before shooting behind me and implanting themselves into the body of the kimono dragon.

However, even after seeing that she had hit her fellow teammate, she did not stop and instead shot all the hairs out of the kimono dragon's body, killing it in the process.

[You have assisted in killing a land-dragon variant]

[You have gained +4 EXP]

At the same time, the hairs redirected and began coming my way as well as the tentacles from afar, yet now that I did not have to deal with the body, the invisible creature, and the kimono dragon, I finally felt like I had a chance of running away.

Who would have known stopping for your enemy could be one's biggest mistake?

I dashed in a random direction in which I had no idea where it would land me.

I could not see the moon due to the trees in this area, and at the same time, the lighting overall was simply just too dim for me to make out anything other than the basic outlines of creatures and trees.

I trusted that my instincts would tell me if there happened to be something lurking in the shadows and that even if there was, I would be capable of dodging it in time before it was simply too late.

*Click Click*

The sound of a wooden clicking, one that sounded like the drumming on an old wooden table, or maybe even the creaking of a 100-year-old door...

The sound didn't make sense yet what it portrayed was as clear as day.

They were coming, and they were coming fast!

My speed increased a little but at that moment, I did not think I could increase my speed any more than I had already done without banging my head into a random tree.

The thing about the dread was that even though there were cases of it working on inanimate things or even more of a sense of foreboding rather than actual danger, I could not magically activate it whenever I wanted.
