The Transmigrated Novelist

Just as Roy started to worry even more about his situation, suddenly that Rank 4 Master behind Young Noble Fjord said with a calm and natural voice,

"Don't waste your arrows, and magic power in that coward! Right now all the arrows and magic power you have is extremely precious.

Let the beasts deal with him!"

As soon as they heard those words, none of the soldiers continued with their actions, as they all kept their attacks ready for the approaching beasts.

Young Noble Fjord turned his head and looked at the Master behind him with a strange gaze, but he didn't say anything, as he thought the same.

Right now their main purpose was to try their best to survive this damn trap, and every weapon, every armament, every bit of magic power, and every bit of stamina were extremely precious.

In fact, what they all feared wasn't this wave of beasts, but the upcoming one that would be attracted by the smell of blood of their comrades.

Since Young Noble Fjord's army was a bit slow and heavy they had to make sure that they broke through the circling in the shortest time, and then made a run towards the barbarians territory.

The camp was most probably in the hands of Young Noble Clark and the others right now, so it was impossible for them to return back there, even though it had quite the defensive features.

At that moment though almost everyone's eyes were focused on Roy and what he would do to face all those beasts running towards him.

No one gave him a shot, as they all thought that he would be dead in a short few seconds after clashing with the upcoming beast wave.

Just as everyone thought that he was gone and dead though, three knives appeared on Roy's hands suddenly as he threw them forward.

Everyone thought that this was the last efforts of a dying man, as he was thinking of taking down as many beasts as he could with him.

As if that wasn't enough, none of the three knives he threw landed on any of the beasts running towards him, as each of the three knives landed on the trunk of a tree in ascending order.

The beasts wave was just about 10 meters away from him, it wouldn't take them even more than 2 seconds to reach him, and bit into his body.

The next second though, under the startled and surprised gaze of everyone present behind him, Roy made a strong jump towards one of the trees, and over the head of the first line of beasts.

Still, it looked like it was nothing more than the last efforts, and spurts of strength of a dying man, but unexpectedly he seemed to have found footing on the trunk of the tree and jump higher.

His second jump managed to surpass the second line of jumping beasts towards him, as he made way towards the next tree.

It looked like some sort of magic or something, but no one was able to understand how he did that for a moment.

Warrior Mages were extremely rare to find, and even more so a Warrior Mage that could do something like that. Furthermore it didn't feel like he used any magic!

Even Master Gorg, Amelia, Young Noble Fjord, and the others seemed to be extremely surprised with what happened, until Master Gorg finally understood and said in a praise,

"He is truly a genius! To think that he was able to think something like that at that moment!"

"Huh~!? What do you mean father!? How did he do it!?"

"He used the knives he threw earlier as a footing for himself to jump higher and climb the tree!"

"What!? So he didn't miss when he threw those knives at that time!?"

"No, it seems he didn't! Furthermore right now, he is in an even better position than us, who are trapped in this place. That kid surely is a genius!

I wouldn't mind giving you to him if he could defeat you little Amelia."

Master Gorg was clearly joking at this moment, so he wasn't able to see the weird look on his daughters face, but he did notice the malicious look on Young Noble Fjord's face.

But he didn't care about this little ant, as in fact he was thinking of using him against that dirty bastard of the Clark family.

No matter how strong one was, he would never be able to rule over the whole world and universe alone, as the rest would always join against him due to fear, or greed.

Master Gorg was strong, exceptionally so, but he was still unable to go against that old bastard Earl Clark, as he had the backing of the Kingdom of Lial.

If he did something against him, it would be the same as doing something against the kingdom, and he couldn't allow himself to do something like that.

Forget about himself, and everything he possessed he would even lose his family, and everyone connected to him up to 3 generations would either be imprisoned or killed.

Roy clearly had no idea of what Master Gorg and the others were talking or thinking as he was concentrated on what he had to do.

The most important thing at the moment was certainly surviving the current situation, and on top of the trees he had more chances of doing that, than down on the ground.

The truth was that he had no intention of staying up in the trees either, he was doing that just in order to escape his current predicament and have a change of clothes.

Even Master Gorg who was a late Rank 5 Master wouldn't have the time to think about him, and keep him under observation the whole time, and he wanted to use that time to quickly 'disappear'.

Surely a lot of beasts tried to jump and catch him in the air but the more he climbed the less beasts could keep up with him.

The trees in the Death Forest were all tall, more than 200 or 300 meters, mostly with a thick trunk, and really sturdy.

So, it was perfect for him and the current situation, but there still remained a big problem that he didn't really know how to deal with, Master Troy and the other Masters.

Master Troy had managed to slip away from the scene when he was occupied by that Young Master and the truths that he told him.

But he was an old Master that didn't even hesitate to kill his own disciple just to save and escape himself unnoticed, at least that was what Roy thought.

Those two other guys shouldn't be anything good either, as each of them was under the orders of that Young Noble Clark.

Roy had no idea where those guys were, and whether they were looking this place from the distance or not, so he had to be extra careful.

As he thought like that, he thought about the card that he wanted to try earlier, so he quickly got fully undressed in his birthday suit and with his little soldier hanging and decided to use camouflage.

The moment he activated his camouflage, slowly his body and his presence started merging with the surroundings, and he looked like he had become one with the surroundings.

Surely even those old things would be surprised if they saw it happen, and they might even think that he was some Master in disguise that had come to spy upon them.

Roy didn't care much about that at the moment though, as he was totally focused on his special ability and jumping from one tree to the other without getting noticed.

Since the trees were quite tall and thick the distance between them wasn't small also, as it was around 5 to 10 meters, but with the strength of a Rank 2 Warrior Roy was able to easily jump that much.

If he used his Wind magic and reduced the pressure of the wind on his path he could jump even further, but if he did that he would give himself out, due to the magic particles movement.

So he decided that it would be better to focus only on physical strength as he made the jump. Like that it would be much easier to cover his tracks.

Even though there still might be some small traces on the trunks of the trees as he did the jumps, but as long as he did it fast and plenty enough he would be able to cover the tricks.

Camouflage was an amazing stealth skill, as it could make his whole body merge with the surroundings, but the only setback was that it required him to have no clothes, or garments.

Only things that had made a connection with him could enter stealth mode with him, like his space ring. If he wanted to do more than that then he would have to do develop and practice the ability further.

…

As Roy was lost in the wonder of his miraculous skill, the soldiers below, Master Gorg and the others had started facing the first wave of the beasts.

At first Master Gorg, that Rank 4 Master behind Young Noble Fjord and some other people were just looking at the response of the soldiers against the beasts.

But slowly the soldiers started showing their first signs of faltering and making mistakes, as the beasts jumped towards them like blood hungry zombies.

None of the beasts seemed to care about their life and death, as their only purpose at the moment seemed to be killing as many humans as possible.

In this situation, even the Masters couldn't keep their stances anymore as they started joining the small battles, and helping the weak spots, completely forgetting about Roy's existence…
