My Godkiller System

More Bruises, More Resolve

Shian stood there with his bruised and battered body staring at the moving rock. The giant head revealed itself, four tortoise like arms burst out from four sides of the rock. A ceature that looked like a tortoise made out of uneven orange rocks scrutinized him briefly, before turning around and walking away.

Shian heaved a sigh of relief and sat down, he was relieved of the tension that had built up in him in that short moment. For a second, he thought he was going to fight with his life on the line again, but when the beast turned around and left, he suddenly felt weak and fell on his butt.

Not long after that encounter, he felt a vibration in the ground and the sky turn dark, he looked up and saw a giant circluar foot coming down on him, if he lingered any longer, he would be crushed into an ugly mush in no time.

Shian picked himself up and assessed the situation, he chose a direction that could lead him faster out of the area of impact of the giant foot and ran with all his might, the adrenaline rush made him forget for a little stound that he had terrible injuries that required him not to move too much.

Shian looked up, the foot was closing in real fast, he couldn't increase his speed any more, he was anxious and scared, his life had been on the line a lot of times recently, so he had a good reason to be afraid.

Shian's dun colored boots glowed at their soles and then suddenly, he was five meters ahead, he ran and ran but didn't know for how long until he felt the sun hitting his skin again, Shian didn't know how much he missed the scorching heat of the sun, and the scene of the dry rocks potruding out of the ground, the adrenaline rush stopped and he felt weak once again, he sat down carefully and looked up, he saw several of the orange colored rocks moving, they all had four tortoise like arms and a head each.

Shian was about to turn around to get a good look of the abomination that made him run for his life when he felt a tremor in the ground.

"With all what I've been through, I don't think that is a good sign" Shian mumbled.

Shian hadn't run too far after leaving the proximity of the massive foot, so he was still in danger, albeit barely. Shian didn't know what happened but he was suddenly flying through the air like a ragdoll, he felt his insides shake violently and he almost vomited his food, but he held it in.

He crashed heavily on the ground and rolled before coming to a stop. He coughed out blood and his chest heaved as he tried to catch his breath, his vision blurred but he immediately shook his head to regain clarity. It was a surprise that his bones hadn't broken already but his already injured legs were now in a worse shape.

The movement alone of a high tier beast could kill him so he was lucky he wasn't closer to the beast than that, the thought of what might happen made him shudder.

Shian looked up and saw a giant tortoise with six powerful limbs the size of houses moving steadily, it looked to be moving slowly, but Shian knew better that even if he ran at his top speed he won't catch up, heck, even his father who had a super speed ability might not be fast enough to keep up. Shian watched as the beast 'slowly' gained distance, the smaller ones had to run in order to not be left behind which was a really funny sight, Shian chuckled and immediately regretted as intense pain assaulted his body.

He rummaged his space ring and brought out a spare first aid kit, he was sure that the kit he left behind while trying to get away from the beasts didn't survive.

Shian tended to the injuries he could attend to and lay down, he brought out a pillow and rested his head on it. He layed there until it turned dark, Shian watched as the stars twinkled in the night sky, and that was the first time that he noticed that the beast realm he was in had two moons which only added to the beauty of the sky.

'If only this place was not that dangerous.' Shian thought as he drifted off into sleep.

Shian woke up the next morning with a start, he had a very terrible nightmare about the basilisk that had almost made him go mad, he involuntarily smiled when he remembered the crystal he ended up getting from it.

'It was worth it. Right?, Maybe I did really go mad.'

All he had to do now was to find another base and immediately head back to earth, he had to attend the academy and awaken his powers, the thought of it got him riled up, he jumped to his feet and immediately regretted that decision, he fell back heavily which only added to his pain, he had forgotten about his injured legs, Shian opened his mouth and screamed loudly. The sound travelled far and in the distance, a migrating horde of beasts faced the direction of the sound and charged madly towards it.

Shian the culprit, was on the ground reeling in pain, he had totally forgotten that he had injuries, and needed to move slowly and carefully, Shian looked down and saw blood through his torn pants trickling down his legs, his injury had reopened and worsened.

Shian sat down not moving for a while, then got up slowly and summoned his trident to use to as a walking stick.

Shian moved for about three kilometer before catching a glimpse of the orange colored rocks which he knew where indeed docile beasts, or at least that is what he thought. These were the ones that couldn't keep up with the giant tortoise and were eventually left behind to fend for themselves.

He sat down in the shade of one of them to rest his legs, he didn't want to suffer any long term or permanent defection, so he rested them once in a while. He sat there doing nothing, he felt ground shaking and looked up just to see a horde of beasts charging at him.

"Not again!"

Shian used the stone as a prop and got up, he summoned his scythe and said with resolve.

"Come on, come and have a taste of my steel you ugly abominations".
