And over half a mile behind him was a horde of monsters, heading towards his direction as well in a mad rush.

A few moments later, Leo was finally back at house but this time he didn't enter normally like going through the front door but jumped at the wall and did a wall run before bursting towards a nearby second floor window and with that he didn't even pause for a second to get his footing before das.h.i.+ng towards the stairs, leading towards the last floor of the house.

Leo didn't even bother knocking and just burst inside the room, startling the little girl cowering in her blanket on her bed.

Leo just stood there at the door way and from the corner of his eyes, he saw that on the map that the horde was only over a mile away from them, 'Good, if nothing unexpected happens then we'll be able to get away from here safely. If only I was alone then I wouldn't even mind killing this bunch of pigs. After all, their meats are truly a delicacy but I'm also running out of time. I'm sure those guys are probably anxious by now that I still haven't returned yet'

"We don't have a lot of time but we need to go because this place isn't safe anymore. I'm gonna pick you up, alright?" Leo walked over beside her and was about to carry her when she suddenly edge backwards from him.

"It's alright. I'm not here to hurt but keep you safe, okay? But we really need to go, no more bulls.h.i.+t" Leo didn't even care if she was willing or not, he just picked her up and carefully carried her in his arms like a mother protecting her fragile child.

Leo was about to exit her room when he suddenly felt a tug on his collar, so he looked down on the culprit and saw her pointing towards the direction from his right. Leo looked over and saw a cute brown bear stuffed animal just lying there in the corner of the room facing them.

"You want to take it with us?" Leo said, stating the obvious.

"Mhmm" the little girl just weakly nodded before burying her head on his chest.

Leo then immediately walked over to the stuffed animal and picked it up before immediately das.h.i.+ng downstairs as fast as he could because he could feel that the tremor on the ground cause by the horde of mutated beast are getting stronger by the second.

"Close your eyes tightly and don't open your eyes until I say so, okay?" Leo whispered and then the muscles on his legs tightened causing cracks on the ground below his feet.

BOOM!

The ground beneath him was blasted into pieces as he streak forward, moving pa.s.sed the complicated terrain and the now overgrown trees and weeds within the forest and of course he made sure that the little girl won't get hurt from air current from just how fast he is running.

"Wah!" the little girl uttered a weak cry as she felt surprised at the heavy wind colliding against her pale skin.

"Don't open your eyes! It'll will hurt! Just hold on!" Leo's voice rang just above her.

The little girl afraid of holding him back closed her eyes more tightly as she gripped on his s.h.i.+rt.

A couple of minutes later…

"F*ck~~! How come this f*ckers can now run as fast as me!?" Leo was screaming as he ran like crazy, creating a small dust cloud behind him and just over five hundred meters behind him was a horde of boar monsters also crazily chasing behind him as they toppled all of the trees that got in their way.

Suddenly, Leo heard a system prompt within his mind.

[Mission Triggered]

[Side Mission - Run B*tch! Run!

Kill your pursuers or escape from them!]

[Reward(s) - Three Dual-Horned Boar Mounts!]

[Failure - Death!]

Leo's eyes suddenly became wide open in shock when he saw the words "Run B*tch! Run!" written on the notifications tab.

"F*ck you system! F*ck you!" Leo cursed loudly while running, he didn't even care that the result for failure is his own death! He just wanted to curse badly at the system!

"..."

'It would've been okay to face all of them if I was alone but…' Leo thought as he looked at the scared fragile girl on his arms.

Leo then just sigh to himself and looked at his map while skillfully and agilely dodging the obstacles in front of him.

'One more mile before we can finally exit this d.a.m.n forest' Leo thought and then a sudden realization struck him.

'Wait..has there been a forest this large before?' he thought confused as he remembered that this forest where he is at is not one of the few large forest within the country.

'Could it be that the woodlands is slowly expanding? If it is...no freaking way. That's crazy...and awesome at the same time! Now, we don't have to worry about global warming with this!' Leo doesn't even care if every forest in the world is expanding because for him, being around with nature is the best and with a lot of resources to obtain within!

'What now?' Leo thought as he looked back at the rampaging horde chasing just behind him and then he looked at the s.h.i.+vering little girl on his arms, he just smiled laughingly and thought, 'Well, it seems I can only...truly..truly run away for now'

When Leo and the little girl was just a half a mile away from the nearest edge of the forest, he noticed some vague silhouette of people in front of them also running towards the direction his headed to.

Leo suddenly smiled as he thought of something crazy so he took out a blanket and covered her and then his muscles on his legs constricted as it gathered more strength and..

Boom!

Leo shot forward like a loose arrow as he headed towards the few figures just a couple of hundred meters in front of him.

*****

A group of five was currently running for their lives from a horde of mutated beast behind them and the most surprising thing is that every single one of them is running so fast that they are hardly breathing hard! If they had joined in the Olympics a little earlier with how fast they are and even with an uneven terrain then all of them would have been Olympic Gold Medalist that even Usain Bolt would be left in dust behind them!

"I told you guys that going deep into the forest is the worst idea ever! You didn't listen! Now, we're running for our lives!" A man around 20 years old screamed angrily at the people beside him while they all run like crazies as the ground below them trembled like there's a small earthquake happening!

"Shut up! No one cares what you think right now and you just need to f*cking run if you don't want to die!" a middle-aged man retorted back with a distress look.

"W-what the heck is that!?" suddenly the only woman in the group screamed in horror when she looked behind them.

They suddenly had a bad feeling welling up inside them when they heard her cry of horror, so they slowed down a bit and turned back too look behind them too and what they saw almost made them pee in their pants.

The horde of boar monster is almost near them as they crazily charge towards their direction and they only thought in their minds now was, 'Has my time to meet the maker arrive?'

"W-wait! What is that!?" someone stopped and suddenly cried out in shock as that person pointed towards something.

His companions also stop seemingly accepting their fates that they would surely not outrun the beasts behind them so they just stopped and looked!

"I-is that also a freaking m-monster!?"

"I think it's a freaking humanoid monster!"

"No! You idiots! T-that's a freaking Superhuman!" the middle aged man earlier cried in shock when he got a clearer look of what or who it was!
