章節 3: Chapter 3: CatSoul Aroma

Argh!

This is a new headache for him since he doesn't have knowledge of this region but he has enough idea that the topmost monster which lying above the food-chain will come out of its nest in search of prey since this is the perfect moment so he doesn't want to bet if his knowledge is true or not!

Hiding in the lush tree, he now had the view of all nearby regions.

'What should I do?'

This basic question arose in his mind since he passed the abyssal trial.

No network? Emergency location was already sent out!

'Sigh!'

This upcoming night is bothering him.

Howl!

Calmly resting on the branch, he peeked but getting no sight let him know that wolves were hunting somewhere.

His mind soon drifted toward the cause which was the reason of his transmigration.

A Dog!

How pathetic it may appear, but he knows in his heart that by far that wasn't a dog.

…..

He was having his chilling late-night party and to impress his crush, he kicked the football, and he only have the memories that the football was passing by him.

Somehow his kick irked the dog and started its marathon toward him. He still didn't understand that why he was getting the ominous feeling from the dog so he also judged himself and rode a bicycle to run as far as he can.

He was also successful but the road between the village was uneven showing the utmost condition of bribery but the most issue was the curve and sharp 90 degree cut road which almost made him lost speed by half margin and distance between him and dog was narrowing down.

Almost passing every sharp cut, he would look back to ensure but everytime he was filled with dread because he was getting the feeling that this isn't a dog.

'Yeah. That wasn't a dog!'

As if its eye was glowing red and the shadow behind it stretching to engulf with every passing.

Now he get the gist that his death isn't too far if he continued to race with the dog so he used ultimate tactics; Getting at the sharp turn, he unmounted the cycle and entering in the house, he locked the door and ran toward the stairs.

He had no idea that from where he was getting the feeling but his conscious screaming at him to run.

Run!

Or you will die!

Every hairs of his body was stood up as he was getting the real gist of death as if saying I don't chase, I wait. For time when your soul bends knees to my will.

Horror!

Horror was filled inside him, but he was running, running for his life but fate was also itself saying; The howling winds during Rahu Kaal echo my warning- kneel before destiny, or erased by my fury.

But how can he leave his fate to destiny.

No! Never!

His life was bestowed by his parents and he still has responbility to fulfill it so no-one can claim it, not even I allow myself.

So, How!

How can I allow myself to bent against fate?

"I will run! Run against fate! Run against Destiny!"

He screaming at himself to not bent against fate.

But can a mere mortal stand against the fate?

No! Never!

His eyes suddenly widened because before him now stood the same dog with its red eye ferociously growling at him.

Thump!

HIs heart quivered as if about to come at any moment and the dog ferociously mauled at him.

Unconsciously his hand crossed out in an X shape to reduce fatality, but he suddenly appeared in different realm displaying three blank slot and a blank slot between the three but bonded together as if merging 3 would give the result in mid blank slot and with this thought his unconscious drifted in the deep darkness.

...

'Sigh'

Sam sighed because he himself still doesn't know the logic, but he had already gotten the gist of merge since that was recorded as special ability.

The main issue of him that how could the creature of this world exhibit in his previous world?

'Ugh!'

What am I supposed to do?

Wait for the emergency team to depart and wait for them to rescue me?

"No! I can't wait in hope of other. I've had to do something."

His hand preens over the wristband and the geographical map popped out before him.

His current location is about 80 km far away from any human region.

'Which wretch idea was this to trap me?' Sam's teeth clittered in annoyance.

'Calm down! Don't overthink!" Rubbing his neck, Sam managed to calm down and stare blankly at the sky through the gap of leaves while the howling and animal grunting sound reverberated in the surrounding.

With passing time, his eyelids become heavy and soon covered the view.

...

Plateau Gulf

The gentle breeze blew past, intoxicating people with its fresh air.

Five burly men rubbing their fists and wiping their pals, preparing for something. In their hands were well-polished, sharp weapons, which under the faint moonlight were reflecting the gentle dazzling rays of light.

"All ready?"

A middle-aged man with a solemn expression walked toward them.

"Don't worry Boss," the burly man said while smiling playfully.

"Be serious."

The boss stared at them ferociously.

"Our target this time is the mutated leopard, and they are nocturnal by nature. Its strength is extremely scary which we can't afford, and your weapon may not even pierce its outer skin. You need to rely on your runic abilities to kill it."

"Is that thing really so strong?"

The few burly men's expression grew serious.

"Otherwise, why would I even need you?"

The boss stated cruelly, "To be honest, I already came here with a team previously but they died due to their arrogant nature so I will only say that if you treasure your life then be serious!"

"Understood!"

The few burly men looked each other with unprecedentedly serious expressions.

"Good!"

The boss relaxed.

"Remember to be cautious. If we really can't deal with it, leave it asap!"

'Hopefully....'

'Everything will go smoothly this time.'

The boss lightly spread a few drops of 'CatSoul' Aroma.

"This thing is irresistible to mutated cat species. It should be here shortly. Prepare for that."

"Understood!"

章節 4: Chapter 4: Leopard

Unknown to them, someone with sneaking eyes was overlooking the event taking place below a lush tree just 250 meters apart.

'Should I ask for help?'

"No."

Sam quickly shook his head.

"I have to know their motive, but first, their reason for visiting."

With his cold and sharp eyes, he stared at the event unfolding before him.

The man who was instructing them took out a small bottle and lightly spread a few drops before climbing the tree.

The mood, which was light, was now becoming depressing as Sam could feel it.

His vigilant eyes stared at the tranquil ground with deep alertness.

"Hua-!"

A dark golden brilliance flashed through and stood at the same position where the few drops were spread.

"Mutated leopard!"

From his memories, he understood that the group held the upper hand since they knew the target, and it was right before them. But the issue was—did they have enough manpower to defeat it?

"Whoosh!"

One sharp weapon after another was stabbed into the mutated leopard's body. However, all of them bounced off, leaving only faint marks.

These attacks brought the leopard back from its intoxicating expression, but it was still too late, as a burly man, clenching his right fist, attacked it. A layer of bizarre purple-black patterns spread along his right arm.

'Is this the rune ability?'

This was the first time Sam got to watch a real live-action battle involving a runic warrior, so he was excited and filled with hope.

"Bang!"

A frightening power exploded and engulfed the surroundings, causing the ground to be covered in dust waves in the air.

"Howl!"

The mutated leopard howled.

"Hum—"

A bizarre vibrating wave spread over.

"Pu!"

Blood spurted out of the burly man who had still held the upper hand.

'Spirit attack!'

Sam quickly understood that this was a spirit attack, which was the most difficult to guard against among all attacks. Now, he was curious to see what their next move would be!

Just like before, another burly man, clenching his right fist, attacked using runic ability.

"Bang!"

The fist cracked through the air. The leopard sprinted to the other side, narrowly dodging the attack.

All traces of its intoxicating expression disappeared, leaving only its scarlet vertical pupils staring coldly at the burly man.

"Swish!"

All the remaining burly men appeared, leaving only the boss.

"We have to clear this quickly!"

They discussed it since they knew that prolonging the fight could attract unwanted monsters, which could be fatal for them. All their cold eyes stared at the leopard before suddenly throwing out a net.

"Swish!"

The leopard, with all its strength, leaped, but before it could even get out of range, it was blocked by the burly man.

Holding onto its foreleg, his head was just an inch away from the leopard's snapping maw.

"Hurry up! I can't hold on much longer."

The net mindlessly fell on the ground.

'I can handle it!'

Sam clearly understood that the boss was a normal human, so interfering in the battle could get him killed at any moment. According to his memories, 1 attribute was the maximum stat a human could achieve, so his doubled strength could be of help to them.

He knew that this was the time to prove his worth.

Without overthinking, he jumped out and ran toward them to help.

"I'm coming to help!"

All the burly men's eyes swept toward Sam's direction.

They were shocked for a moment before realizing what was happening and continued handling the leopard.

"A kid? What are you doing here, kid?"

"Enjoying my vacation!"

Sprinting, Sam quickly closed the distance while all the burly men remained busy handling the leopard.

"Kid, use that net!"

Taking a deep breath, Sam grabbed the mid-portion of the net and could tell that it was heavy, but not enough to put stress on his body.

Tightly loosening and clenching his fists, he stared at the burly man battling against the leopard while the other two burly men pulled its hind legs, preventing it from gaining any advantage.

He grabbed the tail tightly along with the mid-portion of the net using both hands and instructed the burly men.

"When I count down from three, let go of the leopard."

They gave him a deep stare, but Sam just nodded.

As the countdown ended, with all his force, Sam rotated while the leopard levitated in midair.

At the top of his lungs, he shouted,

"This is the time to cover the mouth part with the net!"

The burly men didn't waste any time and waited for the right opportunity to grab the net's mouth portion to enclose the mutated leopard.

Sam eyes suddenly widened as realization dawned on him—the cooldown of the leopard's spirit attack could wear off at any moment.

Reaching this conclusion, he suddenly shifted his direction and started to mindlessly slam the mutated leopard from one side to another, not giving it a chance to activate its spirit attack.

"What are you doing, kid!"

The burly men shouted, confused by his sudden action, but Sam ignored them and continued while they helplessly watched the events unfold before them.

At this moment, the boss also hopped to the ground.

"He is incapacitating the mutated leopard so that it can't activate a spirit attack."

The burly men's eye sparkled.

Blood started to paint the ground, but Sam ignored it all and kept going, till he was convinced that the leopard was now incapacitated.

He fell to his knees, breathless. His whole body felt as though it had just been through a meat grinder; even a large amount of adrenaline couldn't wash away all the pain, as his dried wounds reopened, smearing his arms with blood.

And yet, he was exhilarated.

The satisfaction of killing the leopard was so immense that he even forgot about his current condition.

"Kid! Are you alright?"
