Ancient Tears BloodLine

The Fox Monster is intrigued, along the way it spotted something with his vision. Seeing that it increased its speed.

On the other hand, Zack is forcing is full strength to escape.

I knew that Fox Monster is following me, sensing that I got sudden chill on my back. I gripped my black sword for defense. There is only good thing is that it\'s not level 4. So, I cannot die here. Suddenly, I made strong decision. It useless to run anymore.

The fox master won\'t turn back it only be more intrigued. I sighed. "I have no choice to use backup plan. But, it\'s difficult to fool fox Monster. I have to wait for good timing " I mumbled under my breath.

Just as I made decision. The footsteps sounds become louder and closer. I observed the surrounding and chose a good spot to confront. I ducked behind huge bush. I didn\'t use perception this time. Because, the monster came so close, that is visible to eye.

The fox monster halted its footsteps and began to sniff. It suddenly move towards the bush. Just as it\'s lower it\'s head.

"Lightning Wheel!"

A defensive lightning wheel is released by me. I exhausted my remaining lightning reserve for this attack. On the other hand, I threw one explosive artefact over it\'s body.

The Purple lightning wheel collides with monster \'s face, on the other hand, the explosive artefact explodes when it contacts with it\'s body.

"Roar!"

The Fox Monster roared in agony. Due to lack of lightning energy in the wheel attack. The Fox Monster left with grievous injury on it\'s head. It swayed it\'s head sideways in pain. The explosive artefact also caused some deep injury. The Monster eyes become bloodshot.

It stared at the human prey who attacked. The monster again sniff the human\'s scent and decisively ran away to recover from injury.

Seeing that Monster runaway I relaxed. Looking at the Monster\'s blood shot eye. I knew its pissed off clearly. I completely did sneak attack on it. Everything is right in law of survival.

Shaking my head, I looked at the inner area. "This trip is my first and last trip. If come again, this fox monster won\'t let me live, Unless I get a breakthrough " I mumbled under my breath.

Then I continued to retreat without looking back. But this time my speed become less. I ran out of reserve. I need to find some hideout to replenish my energy. At least, I need to have some energy to escape from this place. I don\'t want to put my life on guess. Who knows that fox monster may come back with it\'s companions. I couldn\'t help but shiver at a thought of it.

Time went on, half an hour later, I arrived at the border area of the grey area. It took me sometime to come here. Along the way, I took few stops to recuperate. Gladly, I didn\'t find any blood thirsty monster to fight on the way.

Then I continue to retreat via outer area. Time went on, along the way I killed few Class 2 Monsters. Fortunately, they didn\'t pose a huge threat. Time went on, a few hours later. A huge wall came to my vision. Seeing that my lips curved into smile. Tomorrow, I have class.

Only I have weekdays to free myself. But, nowadays duel to life or death duel conducted on weekdays. I left with one day to rest. "If isn\'t for that I would have spend some days to kill here" I sighed inside thinking that.

Shaking my head, I stroll toward the entrance gate. Few patrol guards stared at me and then shifted their gaze. After leaving the gate, I walk towards Patrol office room to register my exit from the forest. A few minutes later, I choose some cheap restaurant to have some food.

…

On the other hand, Elder Thornton sighed in relief seeing Zack came back from the forest. Earlier, while Zack was in the forest. Elder Thornton observed the movement of person named Simon Mills. It isn\'t clear whether the guy is imposter or not. Unless he personally confronts him. For a while, Elder Thornton decided not to do that.

If the guy have some malice towards Zack. Than he would do it. He don\'t want to entangle more in muddy waters. Seeing Zack move towards the low end restaurant.

Elder Thornton decisively booked an air cab and chose to wait near the restaurant.

…

On the other hand, imposter Simon Mills dejected seeing the old man. He couldn\'t help but frown, that he failed to near the brat named Zack. That old man being like a shadow he never left the brat. He thought he could get a chance to enter the forest. But, the old man already seen me. So, it\'s impossible to do that.

If he sees me entering the forest. Then it would have been trouble. That\'s why he chose to wait here. But, now he saw that brat entering the restaurant. It would be good opportunity to get close to him. A hope radiated in his eyes.

But again that despicable old man guarding him near the restaurant. He fumed with anger. "What I have to do next? Think! Think!" He mumbled under his breath. He wants tiennd it in low key. Then he gazed at the restaurant. Looking at the building he knew its cheap. If he bribe someone to poison his food. It would be great. Without thinking further he chose to enter the restaurant like a customer.

His hearts beats faster when he passes by the old man near the air cab. He had strange illusion that old man\'s eyes never left him. So, he increase his speed in desperation. After entering the restaurant he spotted Zack who sat near window seat. He choose opposite chair to sit. He waited for waiter to approach. He hatched some nice plan in his mind. Which is very old way.

A moment later, a waiter approached Zack. He ordered some food then waited patiently. Seeing that a happy glint flashes in that imposter Simon Mills eyes. After seeing the waiter walking away after taking the order. He stood up and slowly walked towards him. Then with a happy grin he bribed the waiter. After some sweet talk he gave him some credit points.

But, he didn\'t know all this plot seen by Elder Thornton. He observed from outside. Elder Thornton knew that this guy is up to no good. So, he observed his activities from distance.

Elder Thornton decided to deter him. While that guy transferring credit points. His eyes stared them with killing intent.

On the other hand, the waiter stumbles backwards from fear. He thought his action was seen, so he ran away in fear. Simon Mills heart palpitates in fear. His back shiver by sensing killing intent. He turned back and observe the source. "Fu*k!" He scolded himself. He knew the old man observing him earlier, this time he himself gave him key to act. But, he got no choice. Once the brat leaves the city by train. Then it would be much more difficult to near him.

He have no choice to kill the old man, He must be at Peak of Special Trainee. To think that brat had a protector of this level. He couldn\'t help but feel jealous inside. But, he knew why his organisation wants him to act personally. He himself at Mid level of Trainee(Sub-Elite) Even though it\'s a overkill, but it\'s needed for a thorough kill. So, he decided to deal with old man.

​ But, he felt something wrong with his killing intent. It\'s shouldn\'t have been for his level. But, again he thought something. "Did the Hansen management hired mercenary? He said to himself. His eyes become cold. He knew some rich old foxes run the Hansen Centre. It is quite possible for them.

Now his plan ruined, Then he chose to leave the restaurant and wait near the train station. Once the brat boards the train. Then he will plant the old man. His eyes blazed with killing intent. Then without confronting the old man. He left decisively.

On the other hand, Elder Thornton he already probed his level. His expression turned serious by observing his level. This guy is one level away from Elite. To think some sent sub elite to assassinate Zack. He couldn\'t help but feel chill. "This is getting out of hand. Now, big fishes are entering the muddy water." He said to himself. If not for Zack have him at his back at elite level.. It\'s impossible for Zack to leave this place alive.
