《Starbound: A Space Odyssey》The Great Hunt (5)

*Swish*
Another arrow came from an unknown place, aiming right at John's head.
This time he was prepared. He swiftly moved to the side, leaving from the trajectory of the arrow.
[Found you...] John located from where the arrow came by seeing the trajectory.
*Swish, swish, swish...*
He waved his arm and sent three Razor Feathers with his full strength.
He looked with his eyes wide opened as he watched at the incredible speed that the feathers were travelling.
The Caverns really changed him. He was able to feel that his overall strength had increased, but he never thought it would have been by this much.
The feathers easily travelled the distance of almost 70 meters between him and the Floran that had just shot the arrow.
*Clang, clang*
*Puchi*
Unfortunately, the feathers were rather slow, besides being able to travel the distance, it gave time for the Floran to dodge two of the feathers. Only one of the feathers had hit the target.
"Argh..." John heard a low grunt of pain from where he threw the feathers.
[A hit...] John was overjoyed for a moment before suddenly his expression changed, and he rolled to the side.
*Swish, swish, swish...*
A ferocious barrage of arrows assaulted John.
One after another, almost non-stop, an arrow came for John, wanting to take his life.
The Bowman was obviously the other Floran that was working together with the Floran that John had just successfully hit with the Razor Feather that coated in poison, the same poison that he was using on his arrows.
With one them down, John was able to move more freely on the platform that he was.
*Swish*
Another arrow came directly for John's head.
This time, John directly activated his Bullet Time, the moment he felt that the Bowman was about to shoot.
John watched as the arrow slowly moved toward him.

He slightly moved his body to the side. The moment the arrow was about to hit him, John reached with hand and grabbed the arrow.
*Swish*
John threw the arrow back toward the owner with his full strength.
*Clang*
This Floran was faster than the previous one, he was able to dodge the arrow that John threw back, just in time.
John was able to see some faint sparks that were created by the arrowhead hitting the stone wall.
"*Tch*..." John clicked his tongue in disappointment. He really thought that he would have been able to take the Floran unprepared with such manoeuvre.
John glanced at his hanging arm. He already lost all the senses from the arm. It almost felt like his arm didn't even exist at all.
*Bang*
John took the Grappling Hook and decided to switch locations.
He aimed at an island near the last Floran that was hunting him.
*Swish, swish, swish...*
One arrow after another followed John's trail as he swung from one island to another.
After a few jumps, He finally landed at one platform that was just beneath the platform from where the arrows were coming.
He glanced around and saw that it was a circular island with almost 5 square meters.
John's pupils shrunk as felt a strong killing intent locking onto him.
*BAM!*
The whole platform that John was shook with a strong impact.
In the place that John was standing just a second ago, there was a huge crater and cloud of dust.
John had rolled to the side to dodge from the thing that fell from the sky that was clearly aiming to hit him.
He had just stood up when he felt the killing intent once again.
He turned his head to the side.
*Swish*
It moved so fast that John was barely able to see what almost had pierced his head.

John wasn't given the time to think about it because he saw a young Floran charging toward him with a spear on her hands while letting out a war cry.
The Floran was a young female, about 20 years old. He was able to deduce this much because the colour of her foliage was of a shade of verdant green. She wasn't slim neither small, in fact, she was at least a few centimetres taller than John and thicker than him. Her huge limbs moved as her muscles bulged.
*Swosh*
John took a quick step to the side and was able to dodge the spearhead, but...
*Bam*
John was soon sent flying by the Floran's kick.
*Cough*
[She's fast...] John spat a mouthful of blood. Even though he was wearing armour, the attack he just received was way too heavy that, despite the high tier armour, he received some internal injuries because of the shockwaves.
*Clang*
He unsheathed his dagger while he was still in mid-air and pierced it in the ground.
With this movement of his, he was able to stop his backwards momentum before he was thrown out the platform by the kick.
*Slash*
The Floran was bent on not giving time for John to recover and so she sprang forward with another charge. This time John wasn't fast enough, so his limp arm received a deep cut while he tried to him to side.
Blood gushed out from the injury.
John didn't felt any pain since the poison made his arm completely senseless.
As soon as he recovered from the second charge, John lifted his guard and readied his dagger because the Floran was relentless.
She immediately went with another charge.
Bullet Time!
He was forced to use his power once again.
The world slowed down and John was able to have time to properly think of a strategy to defeat the female Floran in front of him.
Just as the spearhead was about to touch his face, John finally moved to the side.
He dodged the charge and closed the distance between him and the Floran. A spear would be almost useless in such distance.
The Floran realized John's intentions, but she didn't flinch and sent a kick at John with her left leg.
John used his Bullet Time to be able to get a hold of the Floran's left leg with his only good arm.
Once he caught the leg John used his right leg to give a low kick at her right leg.
*Bam*
She immediately lost her balance and fell on the ground since she was unable to use her legs to stop her fall.
"Urgh..." She groaned in pain since the fall was rather heavy.
John followed with some restrictions moves as he swiftly disarmed the Floran, and used her own arm to strangle her.
He used his legs to restrain her own legs and also used his weight to pin her on the ground.
The Floran panicked and struggled as her life depended on it. She used everything she got to try to get out of John's restriction move.
John's forehead was soon covered in sweat as he kept her in the position.
Blood drenched his clothes from the wounds he just received from the nails and teeth of the Floran.
[Just....give.....up.] John gritted his teeth and applied more strength into his strangle.
"*Gasp*...nooo..." The Floran opened and closed her mouth trying to inhale some air, but John was going to let that happen.
She only stopped struggling after a few seconds.
John fell on the ground, exhausted and groaning in pain.

This Game World is rigged against Mobs!!!
I suddenly got my past life memory back, what to do (asking for a friend...)? *Real synopsis: Alean Steelight, son of Baron Steelight, 4th generation of frontier knights, is somehow a mage? And mages can only be supports? In the frontier where dangerous beasts and monsters stalk the land, mages who can't pull their own weight in combat are considered trash. After being dumped by his parents at the Royal Academy, Allean must somehow survive the most heinous place known to mankind, high school. Now if only he didn't suddenly remember that this world is going to end, it would have been much easier on his mind at least. =====================================================*Disclaimer: This is my 1st novel, and English is my 2nd language, so expect some spelling or grammar mistakes. Also plot holes, and generally bad planning and such. Feel free to point out mistakes so I can grow as a writer. Update whenever I have time and inspiration. If you think the name is familiar, I do take inspiration from " The world of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs" and other academy-type novels. *Warning: This novel features references to self-harm, depression, suicide, etc. Viewer discretion is advised If you are uncomfortable with LGBT+ elements in a story in any way, then this novel might not be for you, sorry. The main character is straight/bi-curious, so yeah... Yay teenage hormones and confusion.

World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord
Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all? This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it? This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me. The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape!(not anymore...) I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier. Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time. (all sex scenes will now be moved to my Patreon and scribblehub.) Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.
