Chapter 114 (2/2)

Dusk had spread a thin veil of darkness over the forest, but it was still light enough to hunt I laid out so underneath a large root eight meters away With my level ofBurst Step without triggering the bell

As I waited, keeping ns of , but it ca up, the last glint of sunlight reflected off the eyes of the predator It was so on ReadReadNovelFullonlinecom

As the forest cons of our next ure of a lone raptor squirrel Before the squirrel drew close enough to be in range for me to kill, the black bird had already decided to take action

I barely gli down; no noise made whatsoever It wasn’t unnaturally fast like the raptor squirrel or silver panther, but at night, it was near impossible to see this predatory bird

As the black blur drew closer to the unsuspecting prey, so unexpected happened The bird, nearly invisible to the naked eye, spread its wings and let out a loud crow

The squirrel i that because, instead of swooping dohere the squirrel had been, it stretched out its talons to where it leaped away

That whole scene looked as if the squirrel si to be its next ained so muchto be able to put ain As I predicted, the bird had finished itspatiently in a different tree The bird’s wingspan alone was about larger than h

About half an hour passed when another raptor squirrel finally eer, it cautiously approached the small pile of mushrooms

On cue, I saw the swift blur of black out of the corner of ht when the black bird swooped down and stretched out its talons, the raptor squirrel appeared as if it jurasp

Now!

Using Burst Step, I cleared the eight meters between us, and before the black bird had even the chance to react, I reached for its neck

The bird let out a surprised crow as it flapped desperately to escape o of its meal even as I snapped its neck

“Yes!” I couldn’t seem to wipe the smile off my face as I made my way back to my camp withtastier to eat than the tough and lean squirrel meat, but I was even ured out hoed and the rest of his brethren had been escaping fro forI had covered with branches and leaves to protectthe feathers off of the bird so that its fat-coated skin would still be intact, I grilled it over the fire I hadon the tender

I had uncovered two things as I saw the black bird capturing the raptor squirrel: First, the bird was stealthy and swift, but its speed couldn’t compare to that of a raptor squirrel It was able to because it knew that when it made itself known, the squirrel would try to flee in a particular direction The second thing I had deduced was the significance of my involvement in this As a third party spectator, I was able to see the bird beforehand, and I immediately knehat itsthe squirrel had no way of knowing

“But this still doesn’t explain how I can catch Clawed,” I rilled fowl

Based on all of my failed attempts, I knew by now that Clawed and the rest of his kind had some hyperacute intuition that allowed hiht of my movement I also knew that, unlike the bird and squirrel that I was feasting on, Claas set close enough to ot in a stance, he fled even before I could execute Burst Step He was shtthe last of my meal, I walked over to the side of my camp where I had cleared soe of the open space and i at the other end “How am I supposed to catch a cat that reacts as soon as I try to approach it?”

Approach… approach? That was it! It was just like the black bird! The bird had tricked the squirrel by intentionally exposing itself, using it as a feint to get the squirrel into the air where it couldn’t change direction

Even when Kordri, an asura, had used Burst Step, it was still essentially still a single step Corresponding muscles were still used to propel hie Walk was to conceal fluctuation of mana to throw off the opponent completely, I still had tothat one, incredibly fast, step

But what if I could get rid of that?

What if I could almost entirely void theas if I had truly teleported from even a standstill position

If I could do that, I could, in theory, feint Clawed

But how do I co that would bypass the need to control the ine if I were any other ht of it as ie from my past life

Due to my mediocre ki center, I had studied in-depth about the huthe hue that I had been able to fully utilize the little ki I had insidemy eyes, I used the entirety of hout every crevice, no matter how micro, of the inside of my body

When I opened rime covered my body as I slowly stretchedstill for hours But I was happy Ecstatic

Not only had I reached a breakthrough to get e, but I had also figured it out

“I got it,” I grinned
