Chapter 15: Dark bear pt 2

-RAAARRWW!!!



OH shit!!!



The dark bear is at my back.



How can he find me so easily and quickly!?



It's as if, he can see me anywhere or can smell me.



Wait smell?...



Is it possible that he can smell my scent? If that was the case, I need to erase my smell but how? I don't think I have a time for that.



The bear is running menacingly then he jumped so high enough to reach the tree leaves.



While on the mid-air, he raises his claws and menacingly brandishes it; then he swung it downward while on the mid-air.



A wave with a shape of a claw flew at the end of his claws. Then it run towards me. Fortunately, I manage to dodge it but I still have some scratches at my left shoulder.



It hurts and hot, but I continue to run away.



- this is the last shadow...

Before the bear hit me by its claw, I switched place with another shadow clone, but I can't switch place anymore, I'm also running out of mana.

- Damn it!

If what I think earlier was right, that he can smell my scent then...



I quickly run as I could, only a matter of time before it reaches me, this place is far from the place where I almost hit by that monster, I don't know how many meters, but I know and I'm sure that; that monster will be able to find me quickly.



CLLAAAP!!!



Combining the enormous sound of a thunder and a big rock not far from me, a sharp heavy noise of the two that hit to each other, and the heavy rainfall.



I run and run; my feet are getting heavy as it touches the soil with the sound of flash because of wet.



I am also losing my breath, I don't care what happen to me but, what I was thinking is that how can I get out Ana here in this situation?



She was one of the people I cherish in this world.



My running slowly stops as I look down at the ground.



-No... We need to survive...



'I also have a promise that I need to do...' as I think, a person, that girl. I will see her, together with Ana.



I promise that we will meet again after all...



I smirked, why am I scared of that thing?



Fear completely overwhelms me, but not now.



I run again, even if my body felt heavy, even though I am at the disadvantage, there's still hope.



I'll keep running away, as long as I live.



So, what if that monster is strong?



Even weak can kill a strong person.



And that bear is underestimating me



- oi, you shitty monster, don't underestimate human nature...


I quickly run, there is a way to defeat that monster,



Scheme and wit.



I look around, a plan to kill that thing, I can kill that monster, or a plan to make it not move for one day.



I need a plan A and plan B to execute such plan, but the question. How do I start? In this forest I don't have anything... Weapons nor house. All is gone, no monster everywhere...



Now that I think about it, why can't I encounter any monster here?



In each place that I step, this field is the only thing that I don't see any monster. It's as if everything was wiped out here...



I shook my head and continue to run, not long after I see monster bodies scattered everywhere.



I saw a boar in front of me, its body has a slash mark, it was a mark of a sword.


- this is...


Is there a human here?



I need to stay away from them, they might get caught by that monster.



It could be dangerous for them...



But a sudden idea came to my mind.



But I quickly shake it off, I don't want to used such evil scheme, it is not my method.



I'm not going to involve them...



As I was about to quickly run away from this place. A harsh arrogant voice could be heard.



- Hey! You! Get that thing out of here! I don't want to see such a disgusting monster in front of me!



A familiar voice That I know could be heard somewhere.



I hide in the trees and slowly walk. Wait I can use my shadow, right? I don't know how to erase my presence.



I can also hide together with Ana but I won't be able to move.



- Can I move while I'm on inside of a shadow?



This is just a guess, and also a possibility.



It also helps a fragment on my past memory, I was watching called 'Anime' there I see a man became a shadow and moving at the ground rapidly, he can also let out his arm while on the shadow... He is fighting with a metal dude.



(A/N: reference - Rogue cheney from fairy tail)



Am I able to do that? Let's see...



I used my remaining mana and flow it in to my body...



I need to move in the shadow, freely with my will...



I need to be that shadow. No, become part of the shadow.



I am, the shadow itself...



My body, turn into black color then I melted, I become like a liquid but it couldn't touch, no... It's as if I'm a part of the reflection of a tree in front of me... I can move in the ground, reflection of anything...



The hell... This is a success, right???



-Who's there!?



Suddenly, a person appears at the tree where I was in,



Wearing a knight's armor and a sword on its hand.



did they notice me when I'm focusing my mana? Anyway, I was fortunate that I turn myself into shadow.



Now, I was interesting whose voice was it...



I have this feeling that I know that person, I have this urged of anger...



I wanted to see that person's face; I have a guess but I want to confirm it...



I gripped my fist but I couldn't see it because my body was in a form of a shadow... But I felt my body is shaking and I was gripping my fist.



Take it easy, the situation I am now is dangerous...



I should hide on this knight’s shadow.



I come along with the knight without him knowing. Of course, he wouldn't know because I'm on his shadow.



Not long after, I finally manage to see who's that voice came from, I'm not wrong.



Anger flowed instantly to me, I wanted to kill this person in front of me now. This grudge, this loathed feelings...



I thought I manage to forget about this, but I guess I was completely wrong?



It maybe still in my inner consciousness, it was awakened because of familiarity. A nostalgic yet disgusting feeling I am facing right now.



Bob cut blue hair, orc-like appearance, freckles on his cheek. Orange eyes with a sign of being arrogant. Wearing expensive clothes that doesn't fit on him, the clothes that he is wearing might explode if he moves with exaggeration.



And such harsh arrogant voice can be heard from him...



I know this person... My brother...



A sudden killing intent came to me, and maybe because of my killing intent the knights notice and quickly look everywhere.



Just a few more step and I will finally kill you...



I remember my past in that house, the treatment that I and my mother receive, the torment that they gave to me. If it were not for Ana and that person, I would have already given up living...



... That's why...



This grudge, this madness...



I will end this quickly in a simplest way...



I move myself in an appearance of a shadow without its owner.



(A/N: in this line the Mc is walking in a shadow appearance without anyone's reflection. In simplest way he was using shadow without anyone's silhouette nor an object that can form a reflection at its back.)



10 more step,



10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...



Finally!!!



I am at his shadow, I slowly forming myself into human form...



- Rael stops!



But before I manage to slice his neck, her voice came to my ears. No maybe to my mind...



That's why I quickly hide again so no one will see me.



-Ana why?



-Rael, I don't know what you’re doing for I can't see anything, I'm inside of your shadow after all... I also don't know how I manage to speak to you but...



Ana stopped for a moment then continue



- I can feel what you’re feeling right now, anger, grudges. I don't know what you’re seeing but please refrain from what you’re doing, that killing intent will bring us in to trouble...



.......



Ana was right...



I breathed out and look at the surroundings...



Thank God I manage to calm down thanks to her...



Now I see it, these knights are strong, their Face and eyes also shows that they've already used to fighting, in short, they have experience killing people without remorse nor guilt...



I won't be able to fight them, I'm no match for them. They're really strong, and strong enough to kill that disaster level monster...



...



...



Ah...!



I manage to get such a great idea...



I don't need to worry about these knights...



After all they are the knights of that house, so they're also my enemy...



Hihihi...



I said I won't involve innocent people, yes. I won't involve INNOCENT people...



So, I will involve that AREN'T innocent. And fortunately, they are here in front of me...



Let's begin the evil scheme...



Let them fight the dark bear to death...



Brother, I want to see your reaction, will this arrogant and garbage like attitude of yours will turn into fear and despair or will you still act the way you are right now...



Don't let me disappoint...



Oh my dear Brother...
