Chapter 82

Seeing this, I did not even need my dread to tell me where to dodge as I had immediately rolled to the left, allowing the hair to smash into the tree and this time, right through it.

'Goodbye.' I mused with an unreadable expression, the only real emotion within my eyes being the crazed hue of a victorious man. A man who had climbed out of the bottom of the food chain and was now running up it, kicking down anything that might stand in his way.

*Dishhh*

Without an ounce of hesitation, my remaining hand had grabbed onto the ax on my back and had swung it with all the power I could muster, something that in a situation like this was was a lot more than I would have expected. Similarly, however, this could have just been due to eating the fruit from earlier which might have given me more power.

My ax ripped through the air and smashed right into the trunk of the tree and exactly where the hair had pierced through.

I could feel that something was coming my way, but since the dread was extremely low, I ignored the feeling and committed to the ax swinging.

With one more ax swing, I felt a difference in how the ax entered the wood, and as if it was some kind of signal, I ran away the moment it had left the trunk of the tree.

*Kruk*

...

Everything was silent.

*Kruk*

*Kruk*

Nothing seemed to want to make a sound in that instant.

*Kruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurk*

The creak of the wood being bent shot throughout the entire forest.

I could feel hundreds of eyes lock onto our location, yet nothing could move, not even the person who was in the most danger at that moment.
