Chapter 160

[The Immortal's stress levels are high]
[The Unknown Energy is resonating with your determination and bravery]
[An Unknown Energy is rising within your body.]
My eyes slowly turned black and white before all the living creatures around me began to light up with their distinct crimson color alongside the channels of red energy that ran through their bodies and energized their bodies with both life and vigor.
[Hp: 103/103]
[Mana: 10/20]
'It takes a bit less mana now, but 10 is still a lot especially since mana takes a very long time to regenerate.' I thought to myself rather than speaking aloud, just in case one of the creatures heard me even though I highly doubted that would have been possible with the amount of noise they made.
For those of you who might be asking the question, "Hey Ezra. Why the hell are you going up against hundreds if not thousands of creatures?", and to you my friend I applaud you for asking such an important question.
However, the answer to it was unknown even to me. I could have easily tried running away from the forest and leaving behind everything I had built in the last 4 weeks, and even though I knew that leaving the forest was an inevitable fate, I still chose to stand against the horde one last time before being forced to leave.
I'm not sure if my mind had short-circuited and just decided that rather than being a coward and running, I would not leave this place without a fight.
The only logical reason I could think of for me staying was actually just the fact that my body would be pushed to its limit, and while I am still extremely scared of dying, my desire for revenge on the elven race had overshadowed my fear, allowing me to now look forwards with confidence and unwillingness to give up.
After all, how am I supposed to get revenge when I am stuck being so weak and pathetic?
With that thought crossing my mind, my eyes immediately sharpened while my muscles tensed up, readying me to jump off this branch and kill any creature that dares stand in my way.
