The Primal Hunter
Chapter 54
But he understood. He had been soft. He had been forgiving and hopeful to the point of naivety, and it had nearly resulted in his death. His mistake wasn’t to approach Jacob and the others to talk. It was not to be strong enough in case it went south.
If he had been more powerful, it wouldn’t have mattered. It would be inconsequential even if the rest of the tutorial showed up to kill him if he only was powerful enough to tell them all to sit the fuck down and listen to his explanation.
So he needed power and a lot of it. He was done having fun with fights for now. He couldn’t stop himself completely from enjoying a good fight, but he wouldn’t go out of his way to challenge himself. At least not now. He was on a timer until the tutorial ended. May as well make use of the time properly.
His most immediate objective was to feel anything other than pain. Luckily, he slowly became aware as he felt his senses return one by one. His Sphere of Perception first and, unluckily, smell being the second.
A horrid stench entered his nostrils. A stench, he quickly recognized as the smell of rotting flesh. His sphere promptly made him aware of the source of the stench as three half-decomposed corpses lay around him.
Still unable to move, he could only lie there with his eyes closed. He didn’t feel the sunlight from the artificial sun making him aware that it was nighttime now. His meeting with Jacob and the others had been before noon, meaning at least 10 hours had passed since he collapsed here.
Luckily no one had followed him through the barrier. Or perhaps they were unable to. He had no way to know and quite honestly didn’t care. He could only be happy that he was left alone.
As for the raptors… he could barely remember how the hell he had killed them but based on their states, it involved a lot of poison. Though they sure had done a number on him based on his missing left arm.
Another random occurrence was that the stench seemed to keep away the other beasts. It was dark, so if the creatures here adhered to the same rules as the ones outside the barrier, Jake should be good.
Still unable to move, he decided to use the time to go through his notifications but didn’t get further than the second one, after that first warrior he killed with a bottle to the face.
*You have slain [Human (E) - lvl 28 / Apprentice Spearman of Embers - lvl 41 / Builder – lvl 16] – A small amount of bonus experience earned for killing an enemy with a class above your class level. 624.458 TP earned*
That… was the red-robed man with the spear. What the hell? How did he die? Jake did land a Touch of the Malefic Viper on the guy doing some damage, but far from enough to kill him. Caroline and other healers were also close, meaning healing him should have been entirely possible.
Even without healing, his natural vitality should keep him alive. And yet he had died. Meaning someone or something else had finished him off. Once again, suggesting that the situation wasn’t so black and white as he first believed.
Had he just been a pawn for Richard to finish off Hayden all along?
And speaking of manipulating bastards, where was William? He wasn’t present in the fight. Luckily. Jake doubted he would have made it out if that metal caster had been there as well. Hayden, Richard, and the others packed a punch for sure, but he still felt that the William he had met days ago would come out ahead.
