Chapter 86

With that last swing, I watched as its brain matter exploded out of its head, now causing its entire body to shrivel up like an apple devoid of its moisture.

On instinct, the moment I felt the dread once again I had already spun and attacked the root aimed at my head, cutting it into pieces while moving forward.

I continued to spin, this time feeling some muscle memory kick in.

'Muscle memory? I've never used an ax before... But then why does it feel so familiar.' I thought with a sense of familiarity awakening from deep inside me as if it had always been in a slumber, waiting for me to one day pick up an ax and wield it to cut down an enemy.

I didn't know why but I closed my eyes.

Anyone would have called me stupid for doing so, hell, I was shouting at myself for closing my eyes yet it was like my body was no longer mine, but at the same time was?

I didn't feel like I was in control but simultaneously, I was the one moving, choosing to move.

I felt the dread come and go while my arm flailed around, creating what sounded like fleshy cuts, slashes, and slices. Yet, the first thing I felt when flailing my arm around with the ax was the feeling of a soft yet sturdy thud before a vibration would travel through my hand as the fleshy sound rang out again and again until I had finally become semi-numb to it.

When I had finally opened my eyes, I watched my right arm move frantically while the rest of my body did so too. It sliced and cut like a master, and all of this was happening while I wasn't even looking?

After staring into space for a moment, I only realized where i was when I did not recognize where I was, but then it dawned on me.

Several trees were beginning to fall already, and since it seemed like we had not moved far from the epicenter, it meant that the trees would be lighter and more easily broken.
