Chapitre 63: Run

As long as he could summon Spot...

That was the last thought Lucas had before he was awoken by the sudden rustling of leaves.

'Again?'

Lucas snapped his eyes open. His whole body froze in place, not wanting to attract any unwanted attention, but his thoughts raced as he tried to perceive the changes around him.

'What's with my luck being shit lately? '

The tree he was perching on was absolutely devoid of any beast. He had already inspected it earlier, so he was sure of it. Even if there was, it would have already attacked him the moment he tried to climb the tree.

The rustling of leaves stopped the moment he opened his eyes. The surroundings once again became as quiet and as still as stagnant water.

Even though there was no wind blowing on his body, Lucas still felt his body turning cold as he sensed the problem.

There was no wind, but the leaves had rustled earlier.

This only meant one thing.

There was a beast nearby.
