The huge white figure, suddenly lunged towards the wounded boar with its blurring speed. the iron horn boar could not react in time, before the white beast sink it fangs to its throat , hindering it from breathing, while the white beast use its body to stop the boar, from stuggling.*whieeeee....eck*
The boar could only managed to make a single snarl, before his body finally stops moving. returning the silence.from the forest.
Neo could not believe what he was seeing, a huge white wolf bigger, than the iron horn boar, suddenly comes out of nowhere and steals his kill.
*ding* "its an Albino Wolf, i suggest you slowly back away rigth now!, you have no chance in defeating it in your current state!"
The notification suddenly rang in his mind, as text appeared in the corner of Neo"s eyes. seeing this,he instantly knew that it was from the G.o.ddess subordinate, from at the words used, it looks like wasn"t a joking matter.
So after knowing that he will likely have no chance in defeating the huge wolf, Neo tip toed, to where Liana was located while the white wolf was still busy.
But unfortunately Neo , has underestimated the wolfs sense of hearing. letting go of this prey"s throat the white wolf turned his head to where Neo was standing.
"sh*t" Neo cursed in his mind.
there are no hiding spot in sigth, so Neo knew that if he runs now, the beast will likely to reach him, before he can find somewhere to hide. so, as the saying goes cornered rats will figth back.
Feeling of helplessness envelopes Neo, so now, he could only do anything in his power, to survive his current predicament,
Neo pulled the sleeves of his left forarm, to summon another crescent blade, if the White wolf decided attacks him, he was resolute to keep figth it until the end.
"i don"t want to die, not like this!, Alice still needs me!"Neo thought, as veins of iron, emerged from his neck.
Neo only used his rigth arm to summon one blade before, but now his life was in danger, he should use both his arm to summon both of the shadow blades, to atleast increase his chance of surviving.
but when he was about to summon the other blade, the white wolf that was staring at him a second ago, suddenly turned its head back to the boar.
The white wolf bite the boars neck, before dragging it back it the woods, disappearing from Neo"s view.
"Ehhhhhh?"Neo
after seeing this Neo could only sigh in relief, before he recalled the curved blade back to his rigth forarm.
*pseek*
"i guess the wolf didn"t want to waste his time and enegry to catching a little piece of meat, when a huge one is infront of it" Neo though.
He know that the iron horn Boar was a loss, but atleast he was able to keep his life. so he was a little thankful, because of that.
walking toward the unconscious girl, Neo hurriedly check for her pulse, sure enough, she somehow manage to survive the boars attack, thanks to her ice wall that should have absorbed most of force of the attack from the iron horn boar, before finally hitting her.
Neo also noticed a crack in the girls white mask, so he decided reach for it to see if its mask was still in good shape, but as soon as his finger touch it, he heard a loud cracking sound.
*crcrack*
the mask was broken in half revealing a face of a stunning woman, with skin, white as snow, oval shape face, and pinkish thin lips.
Neo could not help but stare at young girl for a few seconds, before finally able avert his gaze from her.
"why could such a beauty, hide her face in public?"
seeing how defenceless Liana was, Neo thinks that he needs to return to the fortress as soon as possible.
after bandaging his rigth forarm, Neo strapped his spear in his bag, before grabbing Liana, holding in a princess carry ,as he walk back to the fortress.
Neo just hope that monsters he will encounter will not be so strong for him to handle. and thankfully , that what happened.
reaching halfway on there travel, Liana slowly opened her hazy, ruby like eyes. only to see, that someone his currently carrying her body.
"is that you, Fa~ther?....your alive?"a small voice of a woman rings in Neo"s ears.
Neo, who was still carrying Leana stops his tracks, before slowly looking down towards her. but as soon as he look down, he saw a pearly white hand reaching towards his face.
feeling the smooth and warm hand in his face Neo suddenly stated "im not that, old enough to have a daugther like you." he said in a toneless voice.
hearing this, Liana hand suddenly come to a paused, before tears suddenly starts falling from her eyes.
Neo averted his gaze from her, before continuing his steps.
"her, head must been too foggy, to have mistaken me for his dead father. i know its hard to forget about them, because i myself lost all my family, except for my sister. but there is one thing learned from all of it, the past can"t be change, unlike the future" Neo thought.
"you"ll only keep hurting yourself, if you keep dwelling at something you already lost, so why not try, letting it go?" Neo murmured in a low voices.
after saying those word, Neo could only stare on the thory path ahead, and resume walking to the lonely forest.
