"It was just supposed to be a casual tour between me and my son. A day for the two of us to just enjoy ourselves and be normal" John said to himself. He thought about this trip and it would help him and his son bond over the time they lost before when he would always be busy with work.
He had shoved away his work so that he could spend time with his family and make up the lost time with his son and now , John was now not even injured yet his son was laying down there in a dome which was shielded by mana absorbing shield protecting him from danger outside, in that state what would he say to his wife , what happened to their son that would put him in such a sorry state . What kind of father was he to let his son get injured in such a manner .
John was feeling pathetic as a father he had self internal conflict with himself he felt as if his blood was boiling. This is because he got a little careless and his son paid the price for it." I'm not going to let my guard down again" he said out loud . His son who was now shielded from outside danger by the mana shield was now safe to the flying beasts he was now invisible and not noticeable he had simply vanished.
The beasts were hurdling towards him trying to get close enough to kill him yet admits all the chaos that was going on he was only thinking of how he would save his son from all the danger that was surrounding them . His was backed up in a corner and he knew he only had one way out. John wasn't a lover of chaos and destruction, yet when he had to he did what was necessary and stepped up to the occasion, because he knew it was the only way.
" I'm not one who loves killing unnecessarily but this is one of the times that's a must " he said . He looked at the beasts coming from each side and in just a shake of his head side to side he moved a step backwards and tripped over but he did not fall instead he regained back balance by holding the tree which was nearest to him and in an instant its trunk shattered into pieces which scattered in an angle which covered his vision and some of the venom and clock bats which were facing this direction were pierced and fell . His thoughts were moving so fast that time seemed to have stopped. It all happened in an instant.
A second later the piece of the trunk which was not shattered hit the piece of trunk which its roots were edged into the ground and then started falling towards his son and in the instant he noticed that and he moved just fast enough to reach his son before he would get squashed by the tree. When the tree made contact with his palm it seemed to spin mnjnin a clockwise direction for a split second and in that instant it snapped again and broke into smithereens and we projected to all directions and in that instant a dozen other bats were hit and injured some even died.
This time some of the shattered splits of wood were also sent hurling towards the giant snake and bear instead of hurting them the massive pieces of wood just bounced off their skins without even scratching them and hence they continued running towards their target without even budging. On the other hand, this was a massacre to the bats to which many died in that instant . All of a sudden instead of them being culled in numbers the number of bats seemed to have surged to even greater numbers .
John did not panic instead just tightened his fists and then he jumped up to the remaining piece of log which was right above him and he then split it into two with a strike from his hand he then air walked and did a three hundred and sixty spin . This made him gain momentum and he hit one of the two splits and hurled it towards the bear and the recoil then pushed him backwards . " Now that's a heavy stick ," he said . While he watched the log that he had propelled towards the bear and snake.
It moved as if it were nothing more than a mere pebble to him. The thick divided tree bark hit its target with spot on precision. Or so it seemed that if they were mere beasts they would have been pulverized by this attack. The snake moved with incredible speed and increased agility and coiled itself on the log and slithered right on top of it this it's eyes narrowed and yet it seemed not to have changed its imminent course.
The bear had an unnatural strength which it utilized and hit the log dead on by abruptly stopping to counter it . This at the moment was the wisest decision it could make and yet when the impact reached it evidently became clear that this would've not been the wisest cause of action to take because it hit the bear with a deadly blow which made it roar in pain . This showed that what it did was to show that it's intelligence was not sharp enough to tell it to flank the attack. No it did know that this attack was going to be powerful yet it's pride of it being a superior beast avoiding a human's attack was outrageous. It did make much sense to it and yet when it saw the snake dodge the attack something clicked .
The three metre long colosal giant , with its shiny black brown fur with its distinctive red patch on its head almost made it seem like a silly hat it wore yet it was cautious,in that instinctive moment it's intelligence shone through and it immediately diverted the log with its full force and the giant weight of it's body. Due to this high amount of force exerted a piece of it's claw broke off .
All this happened in an instant and to the three of them time had stopped moved by . Yet to John this was an interesting and incredible feet which these beasts had done . They were able to parry an attack which was meant to kill an ordinary beast but these were no ordinary from the looks of it these were no mere beasts that anyone could just truffle with . They were of exceptional quality and on a whole different rank.
The two beasts suddenly stopped by the edge of the forest which was dark and gloomy from the looks of it on their side. It was as if they had sensed something that was dark, gloomy and creepy coming from the forests. John on the other hand looked down and said ." Wow now that's a really strong pair" and he went on to whistle in a sarcastic and genuinely surprised way.
He had landed a few meters away from his son hence he was now getting ready to retaliate against the bats. Right then he remembered what these things were . In his thoughts he talked to himself and in the moment he knew what these bats were " these are venom bats " he looked at them again " no, these aren't venom bats " he did this thought processing while he dodged the bats avoiding their attack which mostly missed touching his body because they used their claws to try and deliver the poison attack. Which missed miserably and could not be able to make contact with him .
Instead he would block their hits and completely avoid the claws and he would give them a quick death blow which was instant and precise and unavoidable to the bats . " No " he said to himself these aren't venom bats and more so what made him sure was the technique the bats used in their new offensive strategy. It seemed as if the bats were learning the way his combat techniques were because with every moment that seemed to have passed by they were getting tougher to get a hold of. " It seems they are adjusting to my technique " he said to himself . Now it didn't seem it was harder to get a hold of them . The bats seemed to have hidden something else under their sleeves , it was a trick no less something that they didn't normally use.
" They are now in a different formation " John unconscious spoke out loud . " And the other two what happened to them " he breathed in and out. " Force technique one, sensory : pulse location. " He said this as he actually started taking a standing pose , it was as if the man had now stopped joking and took the bats seriously his immature moves started becoming more seamless it was as if the was a boy who had now grown into a man. He had now taken his first prey seriously.
His mood had now shifted , he mood now was like a poked piranha in it's calm waters . Yet he wasn't the only one who had portrayed change the mammals had also changed and they were now readying their next attacks. The bat's formation had changed to be able to counteract his inhumane speed and strength. John glanced far behind the bats . He had already known that his son was now at a safe distance.
Luckily the shield orb was shielding his presence and the two beasts hadn't noticed him . So he took advantage of this to finish this fight quickly. Yet what was at the back of his mind was why weren't they attacking . He knew and they would have already attacked by now the only reason they didn't was evident in their eyes. " Their intelligent beasts" yes they were watching every move " so you wanna study us you're welcome to try, let's finish this quickly bats I got places to be.
He now moved through the field as if there were several different opponents on the field . The flow of the air moved hand on hand with him and at the same moments the bats also moved in his direction and they flew in several circles some moving clockwise and others in the anti clockwise directions. He threw a punch and the bats clicked.
