Ancient Tears BloodLine

"Maybe I should come next time," I commented in my heart. I decided to leave this place without making any noise. The Alpha Wolf didn't notice anything suspicious. It is sleeping peacefully. I began to follow the path to Zone 1. On my way, there is no Pseudo Monster.

Therefore I quickened my pace a little. "Now it looks way easier to find a way back to the exit Zone 1" I mumbled myself as I carefully looking every Marking on the tree. For the time being everything seems fine.

But, Suddenly I had bad premonition. I have feeling that it's not going to be easy way back home. I operated my sci-fi watch to send message to Uncle James. I typed, "Uncle James, I have completed my assignment.

Now, I'm on my way to Zone 1. But I have a vague feeling that if I came across some monsters along the way. It will take time to leave. So, don't worry about me." I sent the message to Uncle James. And I also forwarded this message to Northern Border Ranger's office.

It is restricted to make call here. Ranger's office know details of number of people entering and exiting the forests on daily basis. If there is a situation arise they will dispatch their Rangers soon.

So, I continued my journey without any worries. Sometimes later, "I didn't thought my premonition would come so soon" I commented in my heart. 

Because, before me it's an infamous CRAZY RED SCAED HYENAS. I stopped my movement, and turned around to look for its pack. I activated my perception ability and covered the area more than eight metres.

Soon, a sphere of mind map appeared in my consciousness. When I was first awakened I can barely cover five metres. But, after consumption of Mercy's lotus and also some indirect effect of lightning and blood rune have risen my perception.

My perception now can cover up to eight metres around me. "It's going to be serious this time. Zack, how are you going to solve this?" I laughed at myself. As I focussed my attention on mind map.

"The Hyena in front of me is not Pseudo Monster. It is a Class 1 Monster which lives in Zone 3." I commented in my heart. From the mind map, I found the Hyena is busy eating flesh of some other monster.

So, The Hyena couldn't notice me. "I should have move faster earlier in my journey" I mumbled. Then I removed these thoughts my mind and focussed on Hyena. It's good that there is no other Hyenas around this vicinity.

If its members were present it wouldn't have luxury to consume the food alone by itself. I only got Lightning circle as an effective attack. There is a drawback in using it.

For that I have to be in defensive position and also I have to use my sword to kill it at. When it got hurt by lightning circle. It's a close combat combo move.

Hereafter, I should focus my training on Sword attack more than Lightning circle. I'm too dependent on it. Imagine, if I were to use Black Sword to Charge Lightning Energy and aim at this Hyena.

I can kill it from faraway distance. It a handy long range attack. "It is waste of time to think about it now. Let's kill it quickly and move away from this pace." I comforted myself.

I move towards the RED SCALED HYENA from behind its back. I took my Black Sword from the storage ring. The Hyena still busy eating its food. It's ripping flesh from its razor sharp teeth.

Suddenly, it stopped eating the food. There was a bit of flesh is still hanging in its mouth. The RED SCALED HYENA CLASS 1 MONSTER is five metres in height and six metres in length. And very hard defensive red scales covered its whole body.

The perfect razor sharp teeth to tear anything off making it look like Perfect Predator created by nature.

The Hyena raised its head and started to sniff by its nose. Seeing that "Looks like it found me." I commented in my heart. The huge bite that hanging from its mouth is dropped down. The Hyena turned it head slightly.

It looked at Zack. Saliva drooling from its mouth. It made some growling sound seeing its new prey. The Hyena wants to taste it. It moved quickly from that place and ran towards Zack.

I readied my posture for battle. It is going to be challenging because this Hyena is a big guy. I pulled my Black Sword and evaded its jaw from biting me. I crouch down and rolled frontwards. Its head alone is half of my body size.

I jumped enough that I slashed my Sword back at its body. Several dazzling Red Scales that covered Hyena's body were looked like Armours.

My Sword had made a small cut on the Red Scale. Seeing that smile blossomed on my face. Because we are on same level of energy cultivation. This Monster may belong to level 1 category.

But its physical strength seems to be at Mid-level of Trainee Apprentice Warrior. I had a good chance to kill it. Having small injuries on its body. The Hyena's eyes raged with fire. It became bloodthirsty. It want to tear down Zack by taking huge bite from its mouth.

The Hyena started make growling sound even stronger. Hearing that I was startled "What happened?" I commented in my heart. I thought it is going to attack me fiercely after witnessing its own injury. But looking at its action, I had bad premonition in my heart again. 

The Hyena is calling its companions. It's going to be dangerous. If I'm got surrounded by group of bloodthirsty Hyena's. I decided to escape from this spot.

Meanwhile,

At the outside of the Border Wall. Assassin Ed went to an inn for a drink. He wore a black tuxedo looked like normal person going for a meeting. "Who's there? Bring me a drink." Told Assassin Ed to the Waiter. He knitted his eyebrow as he looked outside.

"It's getting dark. He should be return from the Pinewood forest by now." I commented in my heart. I should not be wasting my time here to kill a Rat. There are several Black and Red level targets in the order for me to kill.

It's Masked Man job to collect Intel and place order for assassination. He wants to hire me to verify his level and kill him. As he thought of this Assassin Ed mood becomes sullen. Suddenly, His sci-fi watch notified him something.

Assassin Ed looked at his watch and decipher the encrypted message. He cancelled his drink and went outside of the inn. To some secluded place to read the message.

After reading the message. He sighed and turned his head towards the Border Wall. He mumbled, "What's his name? Zack, isn't it?

You got lucky this time. I got an emergency order to do and the reward for the mission is five hundred million credit points." His lips curved little reading five hundred million.

Comparing to rat. This is way more important.

Assassin Ed sent a message to Masked Man saying that "He will cancel this mission due to unforeseen circumstances.

If he got time in future He will accept the order again to kill Zack. In Meanwhile, if you cannot wait for that long. Then you have to do this yourself."

After Assassin Ed sent the message. He didn't even look back at the border wall. He immediately left this border town by Air Cab.

But he doesn't know that everything done by him was being monitored by a homeless beggar sitting at the gates of the inn. He looked at the Air Cab that was left.

There was sharp glint in his eyes seeing that. Then the beggar turned his attention towards the border wall waiting for certain person to exit.

Meanwhile, Zack being chased by the Red Scaled Hyena Class 1 Monsters.

There is still one more hour to reach Zone 1. On the way I made Successive attack on its legs to make its speed slower. Blood dripping down from several injuries sustained by Red Scaled Hyena.

But it's still wants to chase down Zack and kill him. Suddenly there was several growling sounds hearing that my heart starts to beat faster.

I looked back a little while running. "It's over" I commented in my heart. Five more hyena's joined the injured Red Scale Hyena including its pack Leader. The Pack leader was male.

It was bigger than rest of them. It looked towards two Hyenas it's beside and made some noise. Hearing that Two Hyena's immediately started to chase me down. And rest of them followed in a slow pace.

Seeing that I made decision in my heart. I need to wait for a perfect opportunity to use Lightning Circle. The distance between us started to reduce. I know it's futile to run. I turned back and faced them.

There is still two hundred metres distance between us. The Two Hyena's slowed down their speed seeing me turn back. They looked into each other eyes. There is also some surprise glint in eyes of its leader. It thought now it's going to be easy to hunt down its prey.
