The Master of Uradan

The giant monkey screamed as its arm lay on the ground. Rohan didn't waste this opportunity and charged again. He activated Overload, giving him the ability to easily dodge all the monkeys throwing their bodies on him to defend their leader.

The red mana filled his mind as Rohan's eyes were reflecting a bit of red light. The slowing effect it had around him was the same as before, but the minute details he observed were more precise than what the skill gave him before with the normal white mana.

Rohan still didn't know what this strange mana was, nor if it was a bad omen if he kept using it, but the power it gave him was far above his previous capacity.

He stepped to the left to let an arm miss him. He slightly moved his head to let the teeth almost graze his cheek. Inside this world, only he could see, Rohan carefully shifted his body and placed it perfectly while the giant monkey was feeling rage and pain. Its eyes landed on the human moving at high speed in his direction.

Arriving in front of the beast staring at him with red eyes full of rage, Rohan perfectly sized the initiative. His mana exploded once again inside his arm as he slashed with his sword. The monkey tried to defend itself with its claws, but under the control of Rohan, his sword delicately passed through the defense.

The monkey only saw the blurred sword missing his defense and dangerously approached his body. With an extreme reflex, it leaned back its body to dodge the blow, but he was too slow.

The tip of the sword easily entered its body, and with a large gesture to the left, its flesh was cut apart as blood dripped on its fur.

Feeling once again the pain coming from this target, the beast roared while all the other monkeys became even madder. The cut was far from being deadly, and under the assault of the monkeys, Rohan had no choice but to defend.

Suddenly, a terrible roar shook the forest. The fight stopped instantly. The fearsome monkeys, ready to throw away their lives without difficulties, abruptly stopped in their tracks. Even the giant monkey didn't dare to scream about its wounds.

All the magical beasts looked with dread behind Rohan. This one felt his expression fall. In the eyes of those monkeys, there was a fear that made the young warrior gulp down.

It wasn't just the monkeys in front of him, it was the whole forest that became silent. The beast that had just screamed wasn't a weak one.

It was at this moment that the herd of monkeys retreaded with great speed. The giant monkey didn't even glance at Rohan even though he had badly injured it, and the powerful magical beast flew away without wasting any seconds.

Rohan didn't know what to do. The roar obviously echoed from behind him, but he couldn't move forward in the same direction as the beasts wanting him dead.

But before he could make any choice, his instinct screamed inside his head. His body plopped on the ground as an unimaginable fear appeared in his heart. The forest cracked and the earth trembled under the might of the footsteps of the beast.

The terrible crash of footsteps came from far away, but Rohan could easily sense the Aura coming from a mighty being. He couldn't even see what it was, but the sensation he felt was even worse than the day he had looked the Supreme Warrior in the eyes.

Rohan's body lay there, without any possibility of being moved. His muscles refused to move at all while he could only play the dead. What was this damn forest? What was this terrifying existence? Rohan didn't know, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to have an answer.

The footsteps shaking the whole world kept getting closer and closer, forcing Rohan to pray for any hope of surviving. He couldn't move, he couldn't flee. He waited there, for this existence which had an Aura so powerful it could paralyze him from such a distance to move on rapidly.

Each time the forest shook, it was doing it so much harder. From the frequency of the pace as well as the power between each footstep, Rohan concluded that whatever being it was, it was so colossal that he would probably not be enough to serve as a dessert. At least, it left some chance for it to not be interested in his small body.

The creature kept approaching, but soon, Rohan felt that hope wasn't completely lost. The footsteps were getting closer, but it was doing so while slightly deviating to his left. If luck was by his side, and Rohan wasn't sure about this, then the beast would ultimately pass to the side while never seeing the young warrior lying in such an inconspicuous place.

But a thought made Rohan want to cry out loud. The place he was currently lying on was full of blood and dead bodies as he had killed countless monkeys. If the beast was attracted by the smell of blood, he would simply die.

The minutes passed, crushing Rohan with intense stress. But this time, Rohan was lucky.

The violent footsteps crashing on the ground were now obviously deviating, and the beast passed Rohan on his left. It wasn't far from Rohan, but he wasn't able to see anything as his view was obstructed by the luxuriant forest. He felt overjoyed.

Unfortunately, this joyful feeling didn't last long. He wasn't in this forest for more than a few hours, and he had already met so many magical beasts, as well as a powerful one that could treat Rohan as an insect.

As this unknown beast started to move away from Rohan, he decided to stand up. He breathed out, and reinforcing his resolve, he decided to use the short time he had while the monkeys were away. It was unknown if they would chase after him after the passage of this monster, but Rohan couldn't let go of such an opportunity.

He took out one of the daggers in his bag, and while the forest was still shaking from time to time, Rohan became once again a scavenger.

There were countless bodies in front of him, and all of them were actually magical beasts. They all had a mana core in their heart, and Rohan rushed to take them all.

He didn't waste any time and went from one body to another. He efficiently cut open the heart and took a red cristal before putting it inside his bag. Soon, the unique crystal became ten, and the ten crystals became tens and tens of them. Rohan wasn't really paying attention as he only thought about killing them and surviving, but the number of bodies wasn't that far from being a hundred.

He used all his strength to push away a fallen tree, only to see several tens of bodies. Rohan happily took out their crystals, and once he believed there was no other cristal in the area, he quickly fled away.

His direction was the place from where the colossal beast was coming. He didn't want to encounter this beast, and he thought that there should be no other beast around its path.. Inside this strange forest filled to the brink of monsters, Rohan felt it was the best solution he currently had.
