3213 Run
I ran for a minute before stopping with a frown on my face. This beastman is hell-bent on chasing me and will not stop till I deal with it.
A couple of seconds passed, and the black bear beastman reached me.
“I don’t want to fight,” I stated, simply. To which it grinned., “But I do,” it replied and came at me with a black ax and blazing power.
It is not a weak Primary-III powerhouse. It is at Peak and he is using his full power against me.
I sighed seeing that, and my bursts activated.
I moved with a speed that made his eyes go wide and appeared beside him. As I did, my sword appeared in my hand and I moved toward it, easily avoiding his slow ax.
It got alarmed, and a moment later; it had transformed into a horror as it saw my sword, going closer to his head.
Soon, there were only a few inches between my sword and his head, but suddenly, the speed of the sword slowed down and I flicked my sword, so the blunt of my sword will hit it.
Bang!
My sword hit its head hard and sent him flying for a few hundred meters before stopping.
Now, it is unconscious and will be for a while.
Normally, I killed the people who show killing intent toward me, but all this killing intent was not his. I had sensed something strange when I reached close to him.
It is still not the reason I had not killed him; the real reason is I fear the seals branded to me and feel I might trigger something if I killed it.
So, if possible, I am going to refrain from killing.
I glanced at him one more time before moving again. This time, I am even faster than before. I wanted to fly in the air, it will be much quicker, but I did not.

Running is much safer.
A few minutes passed when I saw the first battle; two people are fighting. Seeing that, I couldn’t help but sigh in defeat.
I could not stop all the fights; stopping it will be counterproductive as it will waste time and time that I should be using to reach the center quickly as possible.
A hundred of such fights might be happening around this place and soon, that number would reach to the thousands. Stopping to save a few lives would kill thousands.
So, I would need to discard everything else and reach for the center.
An hour passed, and I have come across several people. Most of them are scared and looking around, while some are fighting. Thankfully, no one would come at me and I need to cross the maximum distance until that happens.
Another twenty minutes passed when, finally, another person came at me from the front.
This one is only High-Primary III; I did not even stop for him and punched in the air.
Bang!
The energy punch moved toward him and hit him, despite his many attempts to dodge the attack.
The punch sent him flying for a hundred meters before he crashed on the hill unconscious. The power of the was not enough to make him unconscious physically, which is why I added a small soul attack.
I am not good at offensive soul attacks, but I am not bad either.
The ones I have in my arsenal are good enough to deal with the people like him.
I did not even glance back and moved forward. It is quite a regret that those bastards have taken all the storage; I would have loved to snatch the storage of those who dared to come at me.
Another hour passed, and I dealt with the four interferences. Two among them were powerful, but not enough to defeat me.
The breakthrough into the Peak of Primary II increased my power a lot. More than I had estimated, before the breakthrough, thanks to the treatments.
It is not the only benefit the treatments have provided. My limit is also greater than it should have been, and with two-half months of further treatment after the breakthrough, my limit had increased further.
Thankfully, I was able to fill some of it with the help of a strengthening method, which I had been practicing twice a day for three months.
It had increased my strength by a lot.
Hun!
I was thinking of my strength when I saw another challenger coming at me. As I glanced toward them, my expression couldn’t help but become serious, and an idea come into my mind.
So, instead of stopping, I increased my speed further.
It is a great chance to cover more ground, people do many things subconsciously. If they see someone chasing me, they wouldn’t attack me, as someone had already claimed me as their prey.
It would also give me a chance to move faster.
It would not work against everyone, but it is still better than I was doing before.
As I had increased the speed, the tailed women chasing me had also done. She nearly doubled her speed and begin to quickly gain ground on me, seeing that a smile couldn’t help but appear on my face.
I begin to increase my speed further, gaining the lost ground, before maintaining my speed.
I only had to do it for a couple of seconds, as she increased her speed again and I responded by doing the same.
“Why are you running, you bastard? Fight me like man, you are,” she screamed from behind.
“I have no interest in fighting you. Leave me alone,” I said back, but seemed to excite her further as she increased her speed.
“I will not and since you are making me chase you. I will take my sweet time killing you,” she said, looking at me with a weird focus that only killers have.
In the prime world, it is quite easy for the killers to remain undetected. As there is, prey everywhere; they could enter a vestige or a ruin, and they will have all the people they need to satiate their sick desires.
This place is a blessing for people like her, as they do not need to hide anymore.
The more I run, the greater her desire would be to chase me.
Half an hour passed, and I have crossed enough distance that would have needed me two hours to cross it.
The beam is getting closer. If I kept moving at such speed, then I might be able to reach it before the time.
Hun!
I was thinking about that when I looked back. Only to see tens of lances materializing around the woman.
Sup Sup Sup
It did not take long for the lances to materialize before they came at me at incredible speed. They are not only fast, but also quite powerful. I am not surprised.
I had already sensed her aura and could guess her power.
If I fight with her, I won’t be able to defeat her quickly as I defeated others who had come at me.
