Chapter 79

These things weren't humans. Hell, I wouldn't be wrong to question if they were even mortals like you and me.

These things simply weren't human or any kind of normal mortal. And even though it might sound repetitive, it is true. They were something beyond human comprehension, something I could on,y understand later on.

For now, however, I could not help but shiver at the screech, as if my entire being was screaming for me to run away.

Since I could hear her footsteps now, it meant that she has her old body back and therefore also indicated that my fate was sealed.

Fighting the body and head individually was hard enough, imagine trying to fight this creature when it's back to its original shape and form, and on top of that, the creature happens to be really angry at me for eating its fruit?

However, I did not let this dissuade me from running fast, faster than I had ever run before.

Even faster than the time, I found myself running from the lizard beast that got decapitated by the flying creature from before.

My eyes had already begun to shine with a dim gold while my every cell was filled with a golden radiance.

It was invigorating and even felt slightly warm and cozy, but I simply did not have enough time to think about such things.

I used all the power in all my cells to run even faster.

Faster and faster.

This was going to be it!

I was going to survive!

I didn't know why I was so happy at that moment, just a few days ago I wouldn't have minded dying on the spot.

But now I was happy?

Like everything in life though, I did not get time to contemplate my existence and only ran for my life, and for the first time, I actually began to outpace the woman.
