“He's escaped?”
Merlin charged forward recklessly, just like an ancient almighty beast, crus.h.i.+ng all of the guards . Currently, a shadow was cast over the hearts of these guards even as they watched Merlin .
With Merlin's frightening destructive power, he could easily wipe out a city .
“You can't run!”
Merlin's eyes narrowed slightly, following which his legs coiled powerfully . His ma.s.sive body instantly shot out with no concern for anything . No matter what was in front, Merlin barged forward . There was nothing that could stop him .
This violent force that gave chase was incomparably astonis.h.i.+ng . After this battle, the Python Army could be considered to be defeated . Even Orsato had fled . The Python Army immediately fell to pieces .
“Sister, how are you?”
Mary, who had rather bold nerves, finally rescued a young girl who seemed to be breathing her last as she appeared to be in a poor state . This girl was not doing so great mentally, and fortunately, there were no significant issues .
“That person is so powerful . Who's that?”
Mary mumbled softly . She had only heard Orsato mentioning “Count Stanwin”, so this person must be linked to Count Stanwin .
“Sister, let's go . We'll leave this place while Cedar City is still in chaos . ”
Mary shot a long, hard look at a distant point . That figure was now deeply imprinted into her mind .
“Rumble . ”
The earth trembled as a lake was instantly smashed by an almighty beast of unparalleled magnitude . The wildlife within the lake was turned into mincemeat, and the surface of the lake was filled with a thick, b.l.o.o.d.y stench .
“You lunatic . You've been hunting me down for twenty-eight days . How long will you keep this up?”
A gigantic Golden Python suddenly sprang out of the lake in one swift motion . Its eyes were bloodshot and filled with endless fury . This Golden Python was, of course, Orsato who had fled from Cedar City .
Based on his advantage in terms of speed, Orsato thought that he could escape Merlin's grasp . However, he did not expect that his opponent would pursue him so madly, stopping at nothing . Moreover, the regenerative powers of the Blood-eye Dragon were terrifying as well . It could go on without any rest . If it were hungry, it would swallow an entire lake directly to maintain its formidable fighting strength .
This was a true ancient almighty beast, fearsome to the extreme . Therefore, Orsato could not shake off Merlin . He was nearly captured by Merlin a few times . With great difficulty, he had summoned the courage to confront Merlin, but ended up with an incomparably miserable outcome – he nearly died at Merlin's hands .
Thus, that courage to confront Merlin subsequently vanished without a trace .
“Swoosh . ”
Orsato once again slipped out of Merlin's grasp, swiftly fleeing into the distant mountain woods . Nonetheless, he felt an unprecedented level of dejection, not knowing when days like these would finally end . Being hunted down for a thousand miles was an experience he was unwilling to go through again .
However, there was no other option but to run . The Blood-eye Dragon hot on his heels was too frightening . Even though Merlin was merely a third-form s.h.i.+fter, he was powerful to a perverse extent . Other than those true full-s.h.i.+fters, no one was a match for Merlin .
“Rumble rumble . ”
A colossal almighty beast raced out from the mountain woods . It was Merlin, who cast a glance forward . He could still vaguely make out the Golden Python's figure .
After chasing for so many days, he still had not slain Orsato . This was rather troublesome for Merlin . The Golden Python's speed was greater than his . Furthermore, the Blood-eye Dragon could only shapes.h.i.+ft into the third-form for now, so some of the Blood-eye Dragon's unique, natural abilities were not yet unleashed . Therefore, he could only resort to the simplest method – to continue giving chase .
As for giving up, this was something Merlin had never considered .
Even so, Orsato's manner indicated that he would not hold on for long . Almighty beasts were formidable, but the disparity between different grades of bloodlines was still immense . The Golden Python's recovery was far inferior to the Blood-eye Dragon's, so after many days of relentless pursuit, the Golden Python was exhausted to the core .
By continuing the chase, Orsato would be caught by Merlin sooner or later thanks to his growing exhaustion .
Therefore, Merlin did not delay further . His gigantic body instantly started galloping . The entire mountain forest trembled under his thudding steps, causing a huge disturbance .
One day, two days… One month!
Orsato who had transformed into the Golden Python no longer wished to run . He could feel the exhaustion of the bloodline's power within his body . Despite the almighty beast's power, it had its limits .
Usually, Orsato would not be fearful at all, but Merlin was trailing him too closely . Orsato did not even have the chance to eat . Therefore, during this period, he was practically holding on through sheer will .
“This won't do . I definitely can't go on running like this . I must think of a plan . ”
As Orsato rapidly fled forward, he tried to come up with a plan . During this period, he had been slithering deeper into the dense mountain woods . The denser or larger the forest was, the better .
He wanted to rely on the mountain woods' complicated terrain to hinder Merlin's pursuit . However, after some time of testing this out, he had discovered that though this would slow Merlin down initially, Merlin would give chase once more . In truth, Orsato's speed in the mountain woods was diminis.h.i.+ng too .
Therefore, after traversing the forest for a very long time, Orsato came up with a new idea .
“I can't continue escaping through the mountain forest . I must lure that freak to some other place . It's best if a powerful existence who's a full-s.h.i.+fter can get involved . ”
At this thought, Orsato's eyes brightened . It was true . Currently, only contenders who were full-s.h.i.+fters could handle the Blood-eye Dragon chasing after him .
“That's right, the Blackbat Militia! Isn't he Count Stanwin's son? Hehe, Boulder City has been seized by the Blackbat Militia, and General Blackbat himself is a full-s.h.i.+fter . Although the barbarians had left, a full-s.h.i.+fting contender like him should be enough to deal with that freak . ”
Orsato felt that this plan was increasingly reliable . The Blackbat Militia had taken over Boulder City, so they would surely have paid extra attention to Count Stanwin . At this point, if Count Stanwin's son barged into Boulder City, it would surely rouse the Blackbat Militia's anger .
This was Orsato's plan . At worst, he could count on the Blackbat Militia temporarily, then think of a plan to escape . However, he must first slip out of Merlin's pursuit for sure . Otherwise, he might die in Merlin's hands .
With this in mind, Orsato clenched his jaw and abruptly switched direction, heading away from the unending swathe of mountain woods as he fled .
“Huh? He's changed direction?”
Merlin noticed that Orsato had changed direction, so he drew in a deep breath, and immediately followed behind without any hesitation, speeding away from the mountain forest .
