Twenty minutes before Shanti got caught.

Shanti took a deep breath to control her beast mode. This creature in front of her saved her from her dire condition earlier.

-dhaar-

-whuuum-

"aarrrghh!!"

"move! don't get hit by that claw!!"

The wapeer whipped its tail and swung his claws at the same time. Most of the soldiers couldn't react to that move and they were blown by the impact.

"human... don't tell me you are still trying to hunt us down?!"

-zraaash-

Another soldier fell to the ground. This wapeer totally different than the other wapeer that they already met so far. The movement, speed, power, and several aspects just totally in another level.

"seems he has business with those humans.."

Shanti sat near a tree and took a rest for a while. Her blessing, [ROGNIR'S CALL I], was put some physical burden to her body. Not even a healing blessing could remove the effect, at least not with her current tier.

He looked towards Arshon dead body. She still couldn't believe it actually worked...the method that Yana told to her.

"what's the name again.... ghan? gun?, sir Yana is really awesome. I've never thought that kind of method when i used my blessing"

She leaned back and observed the situation. That wapeer kept killing those poor soldiers. Without Arshon's command, they couldn't face this kind of threat.

"my role is fulfilled... may our beast god ROGNIR give his protection to you sir Yana.."

Shanti stood up and grabbed her knife. She couldn't let that wapeer taking all the job and finished them all. She dashed and took a low position. Most of the archers already took down by that wapeer so she could approach them more freely.

-dash-

She approached them really fast and extended her arm to slash her knife. Just at that moment, something unexpected happened.

[DISAPPROVAL]

A quite large circle appeared on the ground. Its black colour was clearly covered whole area where Shanti and that wapeer were. It didn't need a long time before another attack came to their direction.

[FIREBALL II]

[DEATH TOUCH I]

[SMALL CRIPPLE]

In that moment, with her instinct, she could feel a dangerous situation that was coming to her right now.

-blaar-

A large fireball was successfully evaded by her.

-dhizzz-

A dark purple aura covered her whole body and left this malicious aura on her body.

-krrrrrrrrr-

-whuuss-

She activated her beast mode again and tried to get out from that area. Something terrible happened from the moment that dark purple covered her body. She realized her life force was slowly leaving her body. Not only she couldn't use any blessing, her beast mode started to wear off too.

She was doing her best and dashed to the front.

-brugh-

She fell on the ground. There was no any strength left in her feet, even tho her beast mode was still activated.

"how? I'm pretty sure that I'm still having some life force left... -kkgghh- I'm still in that black circle area..."

She looked at the wapeer direction and suprised with what just she saw. More than thirty soldiers already surrounded it and gave many serious damage to its body.

"just..where are they coming from.."

-tep-

-tep-

A sound from someone steps was approaching her. She turned her sight to find out who's there. A man with a medium height around 170cm stood in front of her. His short blue hair with one long braided hair at the right side looked at her with a cold expression.

He turned his sight to Arshon's dead body and just stood still there for few minutes.

Shanti tried to crawl and kept moving from that area. She was fully aware that her life was very threatened right now.

"....-sigh- so you finally died in the hand of a monster Arshon? quite a shame indeed.."

He turned around and approached Shanti while kept talking.

"but still.. a monster with this caliber? what....a troublesome situation...."

[EMPOWERED III]

"hey.. monster..."

[GIANT STEP II]

"where do you think you're going?.."

-buugh-

-dhaar-

Shanti was blown away by one hard kick to her stomach. The impact was so massive even it caused a little tremble in that area.

One meter... two meter.... three meter... Shanti kept flying and finally stopped after she landed on a big tree.

-brugh-

"aaakh! ugh...guuh..." She vomited some bloods

-dhaar-

That man chased her with few steps and stood again in front of her. He didn't wait for any response from Shanti and continued to kick her again.

-dhaar-

Poor Shanti even couldn't fight back or dodged his kick. She was blown again for few meters to the point she landed in the outside of the forest area.

-brugh-

"....for..give me...sir Ya...na.."

Shanti couldn't move her body. Even breathing already became a very hard thing to do now.

-dhaar-

He catched up with her again and stood in front of her...still with his cold expression.

"you really ruin my mood monster.. should i kick you until you reach the town?... nah, you're too weak.. I'm pretty sure you will die if i do that.."

-DHAAR-

A big blast sound could be heard from the forest. He could see that wapeer escaped from the soldiers.

"...really.... they are useless... -sigh-"

He looked at Shati again.

"....guess this monster must responsible for all of this..."

-dhaar-

He kicked her again and saw her body blown away by his kick. One of the soldier approached him and reported about the situation.

"sir Chillyd! that wapeer is..."

"-sigh- don't talk. Just use the black rope to tie that monster and bring it to the commander"

"yes sir! pardon me.... where is this monster sir?"

".....just walk straight for ten meter ahead.."

"yes sir!"

The soldier left the place and Chillyd went back to the forest.
