Amadeus wanted to scream but he couldn"t, he was too disorientated. With the sudden vertigo and dose of adrenaline all he could see was green then blue. Finally steadying himself, he turned around only to see his father fly away while smiling and waving at him.

"s.h.i.+tty, old man!"

With this thought, Amadeus looked backed down at the greenery he was approaching. Amadeus then gave it a quick look round before once again focusing at the trees. Time seemed to slow down as he looked for a place to land. He knew that his father wouldn"t have given him any sort of safety measure as he was just like his grandfather all brawn no brain, well a bit of brain.

Amadeus could feel his blood pumping and heart thumping as he got increasingly closer to the trees, with his perception getting slower and slower. His golden and silver eyes continuously looked at places to land as he inched closer.

Ba dum…Ba dum…Ba dum…

"There!"

Time seemed to regain speed as Amadeus veered towards a spot that had gigantic yet densely packed leaves. He then positioned himself to land as the first impact came, however, sometimes looks can be deceiving. Although it looked densely packed, that was only the top as there was nothing to cus.h.i.+on his fall beneath the first section of trees.

Seeing no alternative, he grabbed his halberd and stabbed at the tree next to him slowing it down. Yet it wasn"t enough; as he ever so neared the ground, Amadeus kicked the tree, giving him an angle to land rather than just falling straight and be crushed by the ground. He then made contact with the ground, slid and rolled for a few metres before coming to a stop by hitting another tree.

Groaning a bit, Amadeus calmed down and immediately got battle ready. His instincts kicked in as he looked around him with his halberd up to support. Seeing that nothing was coming, he immediately relaxed but kept his guard up.

"He should"ve just dropped me, why the h.e.l.l did he push me?"

High up in the sky, at a certain distance, Baldrik could be seen standing there with a worried look in his eyes. He was worried for Amadeus but knew that he needed to face countless trials and hurdles if he wanted to succeed him as the next emperor.

Giving one final look at the place where Amadeus landed, he left. They had kept a tracker on him, which only told them two things, his location and if he was alive or dead. Nothing else.

Amadeus" started putting all that he learned into real life. Well first things first, find a territory and claim it as your own. It was different from wat he heard in his previous life of finding water and shelter, but he decided to put two and two together and find a territory that had a source of water.

Searching round, he tried to look up at the sky and determine his position with the stars. Looking up he realised that there were no stars as it was still daytime. He looked at this world"s sun, luckily it was called just sun, not something else. The moon was also just called the moon.


Strangely, it didn"t hurt his eyes, but rather warmed it, he just attributed it to him being a dragon.

Looking round, and not knowing the direction to walk Amadeus just picked up a stick lying next to him and threw it in the air. He would just go whichever direction the stick pointed. As the stick landed, Amadeus realised that it had two ends, so it pointed in two different directions. Now determining which part is the top, he threw it in the air once again and followed the direction it pointed towards.

Walking cautiously, Amadeus" senses were extremely heightened as a rustling noise made its way into his right ear. Turning towards that direction, his vertical split eyes narrowed even further as he concentrated where that noise came from. A bush some distance away moved slightly as a cute creature came out. It had glistening white fur and gem like red eyes. If there were any little girls here, they would immediately drop whatever they were doing and cuddle the living s.h.i.+t out of it. Sadly, there wasn"t a little girl here and the critter didn"t even know what hit him when a large halberd chopped off its neck.

Humming a little tune, Amadeus made a makes.h.i.+ft campfire and slowly roasted the rabbit. It wasn"t that he was ignorant of the dangers surrounding him but was confident in his abilities.

After finis.h.i.+ng his first meal in the wild, he looked round as he saw various sources of colour slowly surround him. It seemed that his eyes had an upgrade as he could now tell the intentions of another being towards him without actually seeing them. Still, what was surprising was that no matter how much he listened he couldn"t hear them, all he heard was the normal sound of leaves being rustled by the wind…wait, wind?

Amadeus then realised that there was no wind, rather it seemed that the approaching foes made use of the wind caused by their own movements to cover their tracks. Slowly, as they got closer, he heard the faint sound of breathing and which also came to a halt. Yet there was one thing they couldn"t hide from Amadeus" ears; it was their heartbeats. No matter how slow they made it, it still needed to beat.

Amadeus got into a battle-ready stance, propping his halberd next to him at waist level, he waited. They also waited; they didn"t show their figure but just waited for the chance. Amadeus" loose dark violet hair fluttered due to small gust of wind, when a figure flashed behind him. However, the figure had any chance of attack, a halberd appeared and stabbed right through its torso.

Before, Amadeus could get a proper look, his instincts kicked in as he dodged to the side where another figure showed up. Looking up, he saw two pure black hyenas, where one was dead while the other stood in front of him. Unlike in the stories, Amadeus had read, no other animal came out, it seemed that they were also looking for the perfect chance. At first, Amadeus felt around a dozen presences, so it means that the others won"t come out until they see a chance.

Amadeus hadn"t been introduced to levels of strength or levels of danger as his grandfather felt that knowing something like this may cause him to get arrogant after on kill. Imagine Amadeus not being a reincarnated individual, and him finding out that he, as a seven-year-old, killed an extremely powerful monster. There will be a slight overconfidence that may cause him to make a mistake in the future. It doesn"t even matter if Amadeus was reincarnated or not.

So right now, he didn"t know what part of the food chain the hyenas were in, higher? Lower? Or in the middle?

Seeing that the one in front charging up, Amadeus swept his halberd and cleanly cut off his head while two others jumped out of the bushed in two different directions. For the one behind, Amadeus used the blunt end of the halberd and hit it straight at the end, causing the hyena to stagger back. He then thrust his halberd forward, stabbing the one in front while sweeping it and finis.h.i.+ng the one at the back.

This, however, wasn"t the end. Another three jumped out and Amadeus tried deploying a similar tactic, but it went different to what he imagined. The first Hyena dodged his strike and immediately clawed his back, with the other following close. Seeing that he was injured, more hyenas came out of the bushes and attacked him.

"c.r.a.p!"

Right now, a total of seven hyenas surrounded him and went for the attack. Swiping his halberd to deter them, he bolstered himself up and kicked the nearest hyena by using the halberd like a pole. The kick contained enough force to twist the attacking hyena"s neck and shatter its spine. The rest of the hyenas saw this but didn"t hesitate to attack. They knew that they were at the point of no return as they had made themselves known.

Once again going into a stance, he thrust forwards piercing the hyena in front before swinging it upwards and throwing the stabbed hyena into the air. He then brought it down slicing another in half while another hyena took its chance and lunged at him. He quickly brought the halberd in front of him horizontally and the hyena bit into the shaft. The two looked at each other in the eye as saliva poured out the hyena"s mouth, finding it difficult to bite through the shaft. The hyena thought that it would be able to push the child onto the floor with its momentum, but reality proved otherwise. Not only did he not get pushed but the child threw him with a swing at another charging hyena and swung at another, decapitating it.

One hyena saw this as a chance and threw itself at Amadeus when the dead hyena that was swung in the air came cras.h.i.+ng down and struck it. Amadeus was shocked by this as he never expected this to happen. The last two hyenas were still disorientated when Amadeus made quick work of them.
