Locux looks at the man with apprehension. The man has a mask on with strange symbols and ruins. He is wielding a spear that seems to emit a faint divine radiance.

“Who..who are you?” Locux ask

Locux is looking at the man confused. He has no idea what this man is talking about and doesn’t even remember what he did to offend him

“I’m the one who will be ending your life you damn insect. You made me chase you for so long. Not killing a bug like you easily is a stain on my record and the Deity is not pleased with my actions”

. Locux is now suspecting that this man is one of the reasons he was injured and bruised when he woke up in this forest.

“I don’t know who you are. Why do you want to kill me?”

The man laughs. “ It seems you have forgotten everything...this only makes my job easier. Come over here and I can grant you a swift but if you refuse to listen I will keep you alive while I torture for days you little bastard”

Locux feels an overwhelming amount of killing intent coming from the man. The mere pressure of it makes Locux weak. It was like a beast looking at its helpless prey.

At this moment Locux mummers “ A...beast..beast...beast”

He thinks back to the tiger and at this moment a rush of adrenaline appears to overtake him. He takes off at top speed. The man is startled. He didn’t expect Locux to run at that moment of hopelessness.

“Where is this little bastard off too. He is like a cornered animal”The man laughs “Running at this point is just a helpless attempt now” The man follows behind Locux maniacally laughing like a wretched specter.

Locux is running at a top speed not away from the forest in a random direction rather he is running back the place he encountered the massive tiger. While running he is screaming. The man develops a hideous smile on his face as he hears the screams of Locux.

While Locux is running he hears the sound of heavy footsteps coming his way. He flashes a sinister smile at the masked man pursuing him. As he whispers to himself.

“Enjoy this while you can but for everything in this world, there is a price to pay. This tiger will be the price you pay for trying to kill me”

A minute later the man is thinking of ending this pointless chase and capturing the kid when he hears an earth-shaking roar. He looks off to the side only to see the outline of a beast approaching him. The beast seems to be getting bigger and bigger is it approaches.

“A rank 2 beast!” The man says in wonder and fear

“It might take a bit of strength to fight but this kid is in my grasp already”

Locux sees the beast and instantly runs straight for it

“What are you doing you little bastard? This beast will kill you. If you want to die so much come back to me!”

Locux runs towards the beast and at the last moment before making contact runs towards the masked man

“FUCK” The masked man fends the beast attack away as he is also pushed back. The beast continues to attack the man at an astonishing speed.

Locux sees the man is tied down and no longer paying attention to him so he quickly hides in the surrounding area in order to watch the fight

Both man and beast are unrelenting in their attacks. A single mistake by any side will most likely result in heavy injury if not death
