《The Demon Lord becomes the hero? DROPPED》Chapter 20.5: The chase
Advertisement
Author note: So… I wrote this part which was going to be added as chapter 21 but it wasn’t long enough and if I edited chapter 20, previous readers would miss out. So this is my first .5 chapter. Hope you enjoy. (btw it’s a tad short)

It only took a moment for the wolves to smell the blood of their fallen brother on me; so they gave chase immediately. Although I had a head start, they caught up almost instantly. Just my luck. Of course that wolf HAD to be with a pack. One of the wolves leapt at my legs, trying to wound me. Somehow, I managed to dodge. I had coincidentally looked back at that moment and got a bit lucky. Of course luck is only on my side when I am about to die. Dam this ironically extremely high luck stat. I would have thrown Greeny at them to buy some time but that would limit my options too much later on. I could only keep on running.
By now, every single wolf had caught up with me. Every few seconds a new one jumped up to attack, only for me to sidestep. I already had two deep gash marks on my back where a stray paw hat hit and torn through my leather chest piece.
A waterfall came into view on my right and the river picked up speed. Directly ahead of me was a cliff so I had two choices. One was to run to the left and into the jungle. The other was to cross the river and hope the wolves give up chase or get carried by the current and down the water fall. I doubted that I could keep running for much longer so I jumped into the river.
The wolves did not follow me. Although I could stand, the wolves would most likely not have a footing in the river. Instead they growled at me in unison. United, they looked like a giant, feral beast, cornering its prey and ready for anything.

As soon as that message appeared, my legs gave out from underneath me. They no longer had the strength to resist the strong current. I tried to swim desperately to the far shore but could not make it.
I fell down the waterfall with a slime following soon after.

The Guide
Leon Octavian Sirus was the head scientist of the Median Empire’s department of artificial intelligence. He tried to play god by creating a world with true sentient life, though virtual. It is still a world with people that can learn, think, and feel and as always that action had consequences and one of them was his death by his own creations. Despite commiting a grevious taboo, his world was succesful enough that instead of burning in the depths of hell, which is what this sociopath deserves, he is given the chance by his own world's guide to guide a race in a young world. P.S. This awesome cover was made by the more awesome MikeWe.
