Chapter 101

As the rat had begun running at full speed away from me, I suddenly felt a tinge of dread come from the bush beside it.

Before we had even realized what had happened, the rat and I could only watch as a huge maw closed the distance between it and the creature that had been too busy running away from me to recognize what had attacked it in time.

Snapping its maw shut, the creature that had left the bushes had swallowed the entire rat whole leaving nothing but its tiny feet outside as if it was some kind of memorial piece to remember that rat by.

Honestly, while I wouldn't usually laugh at a horrifying scene like the one I just watched occur right before me, I found it quite comical, especially after watching the feet fall backward in such a fashion.

This only caused a stifled laugh to leave my mouth before I had closed it in hopes that the thing that had taken the rat would not notice my existence.

'Why the hell am I laughing!?' I screamed at myself but it was already too late.

The creature had already looked at me with its huge eyes, and at this point, I knew that there was no way I wouldn't face it.

'C'mon... I foughts against a human looking thing and a treant. What is the worst that could happen?' I inwardly chuckled.

*ROOOOOOAAAAAR*

A sky-shaking roar left the maw of the creature before it stood up, allowing me to finally perceive it at its full glory.

Its body was several meters tall and several meters wide.

Its hands were slightly small compared to the rest of its body. Feathers poked out of the back of its head like a beautiful crown of red and yellow.

Its piercing eyes stared down at me with an enormous pressure that would have made an elephant feel as insignificant as an ant before its presence.

Such a domineering power stood before me and I had found myself completely frozen, the previous humorous act now out of my mind while the only thing I could think of were ways that I could somehow survive this encounter.

I did not want to admit it, but I was scared... Scared to my core.
