Chapter 78: In the Jungle
Chapter 78: In the Jungle
As I looked at the map, I suddenly felt quite relaxed. I no longer have to stress about getting lost.
A sigh escaped my lips, and I seized the mirror and looked in it. Although I was still bare-chested, I wore the jogging pants I bought in the city.
In addition, I looked cooler with long hair.
I wandered into the jungle after putting the mirror back in the inventory.
To be honest, I felt quite lonely. The entire time I spent in the village, many people surrounded me. I spent most of my time with Amelia.
When I was thinking about Amelia, I felt very sad. She told me the story of her life.
I can tell you it was a cliché love story.
Both she and Adrian were talented and were childhood friends. As they grew older, their friendship turned into attraction.
Their attraction turned into love as they spent more time together. They decided to live together for eternity.
Eternity? What kind of person believes in that nowadays?
It was ten years ago that they went on the Hunt and were ambushed. To save her, he sacrificed himself and got captured.
Adrian was, in truth, a bit of a side character. He doesn’t even share the bloodline of the so-called GOD. It is unlikely that they will get any benefits from capturing him, except that they might learn where the village is.
To keep the village safe, Amelia did the unthinkable by erasing Adrian’s memory. Even though she regrets it, she had no choice but to do it for the village.
Although she had a chance to kill Adrian, she could not do so because of her love for him.
Taking the story as a whole, I feel Adrian was a douchebag. How can such a powerful woman not save herself? And this man got captured as he tried to save her.
Hypocrisy at its finest. This Adrian was probably bored in his village and wanted to learn more about the outside world. Everything went as planned until one thing went awry.
She erased his memory. At this moment, I am sure he would not even understand why he wanted to leave.
Asshole.
I don’t know how to explain this to Amelia. The way she talked about Adrian, you could tell she loved him dearly. If I said anything against him, she would think I was jealous.
In any case, she would know his real face. To make things even simpler, she has made a connection with me. If an emergency occurs, she could contact me easily.
Well, let’s put that matter aside. Let me check my power first. I felt a surge of energy flowing through my body. I now need time to adjust to this power. My slightest pat to anyone could cause severe damage.
Even though I was roaming the jungle, I didn’t see any animals. It wasn’t long before a giant, thick, gnarled tree distracted me. I knew I would have to target this tree.
Concentrating all of my strength into one hand, I punched hard at the tree. I was shocked at what I saw.
My punch uprooted the whole fucking tree.
What the fuck!!! Am I this powerful?
I examined my hand, which was free of any scratches. Anybody who gets hit by me would be turned into pulp.
As a result of exercising under gravity, my body has undergone many changes. I must now control the power.
I was told by Amelia that I had to control my power in the fight. Otherwise, I would run out of energy quickly.
Even when I use the skill, I must remain careful. The more I use it, the more likely I will forget how to fight.
The day I am incapable of using any skill, I cannot face anyone. From that moment on, I decided that, if possible, I would avoid the use of my skills if the situation called for it. A good thing is that I already bought the Combat and Sword Training manual.
This will be of great help to me now.
After I’d calmed down from the excitement of uprooting the tree, I even tried out running, which was the same speed I had before evolution.
Anyway, since I have improved a lot, I decided to train regularly in the jungle. This is a good place to find targets.
The entire day of training left me very fatigued.
My lungs heaved as I sat on the ground, supported by the tree. My legs felt sore, yet I must leave this place.
During my time in the jungle, I learned to always stay next to water sources.
As I checked the map, I discovered that there was a river nearby. It’s hard not to remember my meeting with Amelia, Olivia, and Diana at the river.
Maybe I’ll find an even greater beauty here. At least my time in the jungle will pass quickly.
As I trekked to the river, I heard a woman shriek. However, why did it seem similar to me?
I had a bad feeling about it, so I didn’t even care and kept using the teleport. After a while, the scene in front of me drove me mad to my core.
Isabella had her clothes ripped apart by three assholes who had made fun of me earlier in the city.
As she lay on the ground, her face was covered in red marks. There was one guy whose pants were down.
What a bunch of assholes. How dare they?
Fuckers!!!
I pulled out my sword and teleported behind the naked guy. With a swing of my sword, I beheaded him. Immediately afterward, I punched the other guy in the face.
After his head burst open, all of his brain matter splattered everywhere, followed by his body falling to the ground.
The last guy could not comprehend what had happened, so upon seeing me, he pulled out the gun. However, before that, I kicked him so hard on the chest that he flew over and collided with the tree.
Immediately, when I kicked him, I noticed his chest caved in. I was certain he was going to die instantly. As expected, that man could not stand up again to live another day.
In relief, I gazed back at Isabella’s astonished face, which was covered in blood.
My gaze was fixed on her as I knelt.
“Are you all right?” I asked as I covered her with a jacket that I took from the inventory.
