《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 Reaper's Legion
Earth: An advanced inhabitable world in the ideal colonizable range. Moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns make this planet an incredible resource, along with a wealth of animals and wildlife beyond most worlds. Inhabited by the sentient species designated “Humans,” Earth would likely have joined the galactic community of its own accord. Levels of technology in local populace indicate a sharp trend towards interstellar travel, but still needs to make the last push to acquire reasonable interstellar technologies. Up until quite recently, Earth has not been a fully classified planet and was largely unknown. Due to biotic activity in the quadrant, however, attention has been drawn to Earth and many other possibly habitable planets in the regions, primarily for quarantine and control tactics. Matthew Todd was not a particularly unique human being before the meteors struck the earth. Average athletics, above average intelligence, but somewhat gifted in marksmanship, the post-apocalyptic earth has been a trial by fire for him and many others. Creatures that resemble bastardized wolves roam the land in packs numbering in the thousands. With entire cities decimated, those that remain are left with the harsh reality that they may be witnessing the end of humanity. And yet, there is a chance. Humanity knows they are not alone in the universe - the wolves are case enough for that - but what they do not know is that they are not alone in their plight. They are not without aid. Obelisks descend from the sky, giving the people a means to fight back. With tools ranging from guns to advanced mechanical apparatus and more bizarre tools, the people must cull the Biotics. Or, be consumed by the ever growing and mutating threat. Join Matthew in the fight to exterminate the Biotic threat, and to ensure the survival of human kind!
