The first battle part -4
John had now reached the river and crossed the river from its shallow parts
And reached his cave.
He started to unwarp the vines around the spear's stone took it out and also went to find a longer stick and at the same time he also went putted his tactical weapon for recharge and putted into the river water .
And he founded a vines again and this time thinking that boar could come up here he decided to tie this sturdy vines against the trees nearby with other trees and also between the trees on the another side of the river he tied the vines together with both trees making the vines as tight as possible.
"Now it's repair time of my secondary weapon"
He spoke out to himself.
Last time the boar had crushed the stick but no damage was faced to the vines.
So therefore John decided to warp vines around the spear unlike before so
The wooden stick will not break easily soon just like boar had breaked it easily with its brute force. But now it will be difficult.
"Taadaaa"
"The second generation secondary weapon has been developed !!! "
He announced to nobody in particular but himself as usual.
"Now it is the time for trial!"
"Oh, wait I forgot to name it !!"
"Oh weapon! From now on you shall be bestow tha name of a very long black one"
Long black one sounds very sus... But who is gonna ask me the name of the spear right ?
He thought and went in his cave to eat some apples then while eating the apple he saw small red seeds.
While eating a mischievous smile came on his face .
He took the seeds and smashed then open a gooyey mash camed out in bright red colour he rubbed it on his tip of the spear and then hurriedly went to river to wash his hands properly.
A smug meance smile was on his face.
"My cold weapon has turned into a biological hot weapon now."
Why was that you ask?
That seeds were similar to pepper in taste from earth he had collected them due to this seeds had outershell similar to nuts which he was familiar with and
He had eaten it up without noticing this and he had to regret it .....
Only solution for reducing this spiciness was to gobble up more than ten apples and continuously to drink up water and after some time later will spicyness lessen.
As of indian descendant in his previous life he could handle up spicy food pretty well.... But this body of his was not able to handle it.
Now he camed to know the pain of his white friends and classmates who had feared spicy foods specially Korean and Indian spicy foods.
"No wonder they become pale as ghost after eating red pepper flavoured biryani"John recalled his days at university canteen.
So right now he had putted the red spice on point of Stone's spear.
And now he was ready almost .
Only his magic bag was remaining to filled fully.
He atleast needed to wait a little more so the proper pressure can be built up and a powerful jet can come out .
"Huh what should I do all this time..."
"I done all the things in the morning
Already before so there is nothing
Remaining to do right now ".
So how about exploring nearby?he had
Already explored his side of riverside's
Forest and here the weird thing was that he had not spotted a single predatoray monster.
But crossing the river and traversing through the plains he camed to the forest and within a short while he encountered a boar or a monsterboar.
He was able to counter it due to boar's intelligent was lower if not then maybe
He would be in his grave right now.
this world also contains type of monsters who could use magic if that gets combined with insane physical strength and intelligence and I have to face it one day...can I survive for even five minutes?
"Nah...I should think positive "
"Well I will never be in situation like this right?"
So I should avoid exploring that forest
Instead I should explore plains which are nearby and also...maybe I can get in contact with humans here if I find a path on plains.
Wait, I don't know the language of this world properly he thought and smacked his hand on his head .
Although now due to some of the john
Early childhood memory were accessable to him so he knewed
Some sentances and words but not more than that.
So he encountered humans he will just
Get alienzed from them.
And if they were hostile to him then his life could be in danger so he decided to
do a wait and watch approach on them if he encountered them.
And if they tried to use force on him...
Then his tactical kaboom machine will
Be ready for that.
So for now he decided to check out plains nearby.
He grabbed his spiced up spear and went to cross the river from that
Shallow point.
Then he went towards the plains
the way he camed from the forest.
He went sideways from the path which lead to the forest.
He explored and watched here and there.
Gazing at the endlessly appearing grasslands with small number of trees
Sprouted in between.
On the other side of the plains was a river flowing through its stream going
Down as far as eyes could see.
On the other side of the river was a forest which could be called his home now.
And on the other side he could see a forest a few kilometres away that was also streching endlessly as long as his eyes could see .
Suddenly John spotted something
He spotted that they were gray things colour like rock which were moving .
They were near the edge of the forest.
Two of them in total numbers.
John squinted his eyes for more proper
Inspection.
Upon closer look he found that those were of wolf like animals .
And the wolf like animals were smelling something on the ground like trying to find out about something.
As they were sniffing around John was also watching them peculiarly because
No way that those wolves can detect him he was much more far away right?
Suddenly a wolf raises its neck and stares straight towards the direction of the river and starts to come towards it.
The other wolf also follows his companion .
The other wolf now was starting to run
And coming in the same direction.
It's because it had found its prey right lets watch how it catches John thought.
The wolf was now becoming more and more clear to his eyes as he was nearing but his other wolf companion was also coming much slower than the charging wolf.
"Wait, the wolf is coming in my direction could it be that.... I am the prey?"
So he decided to change his direction to know about it.
He moved to his right side far from his previous position.
...the wolf coming towards him also changed its direction.
He changed his position to left side.
The wolf also changed its direction towards the left .
Now wolf had covered the distance and was at most a kilometre away in mere minutes.
John could see that the wolf was also much more larger than its earth counterparts and it had red eyes.
"A monster!!"
He screamed out and holded his spear tightly and backed few steps keeping his eyes focused on the wolf.
It was able to cover the distance of kilometres in mere minutes .
Also it had a keen sense of smell and
Also vision.
There should be a weakness of this thing.
John readied his spear .
Running is useless against that wolf monster it can cover kilometres in mere
Minutes.
Also it has keen sense of smell and vision.
How can I buy some time for me to atleast retreat over towards the river?
Because I can't kill it even I know about it obviously.
How can a child kill a monster which is size of a man on its four legs rushing towards you at speed of a modern car?
John decided to hold his spear like a pikemen from middle ages which would give him enough space for moment.
The wolf was now rushing towards him as fast as ever.Saliva dripping could seen from its open mouth and a meancing eyes as it was just going to take John down in a one fell swoop.
John was ready for the wolf .
He prepared his hands grip on the spear more tightly than ever before.
"I will defeat this thing"
"I will defeat this thing"
"I will defeat this thing"
He was speaking like that that was only on surface he was feeling scared from inside.
Afterall experiencing monsters on your devices in anime and games is different compared to facing it in real life and feeling it.
Sweat was ozzing out he even decided to throw his spear like javelin like against the boar but he knew it was no use .
This was even faster than the boar and he had missed his mark on the boar which was far slower .
As the wolf camed nearer and nearer until there were only some metres of distance left between them and jumped.
It's landing spot being John....
As wolf jumped and camed down towards him in retaliation John aimed his spear higher and higher until his tip of the spear reached open mouth of the wolf.
John seeing that thrusted the spear inside the mouth of the wolf.
Wolf in reaction closed its mouth while still the tip of the spear was inside its mouth.
The sharp stone was shattered along side the front of the spear due to strong bite force.
A sense of doom was the expression on john's face .
His only weapon for his defence was broken.
The wolf landed but due thrusting of the spear it's trajectory of landing had changed to sideways from John.
Seeing wolf just in the sideways of him John face has become paled loosing all colours on his face.
But the wolf's attention was not now on him anymore.
The wolf was shaking and vibranting again and again.
What was the reason this predotar why was it acting like this?
Wolf had tried to hunt him down from like several kilometres away only to reach him and totally forgotting him?
The wolf was now was rubbing his body on the ground scratching his body.
There were tears in the wolf's eyes it was crying.
John realised the reason for it was his spiced paste he had putted on his spear in whim which saved him.
The wolf's focus was now on fully on spiceness it was feeling it was coughing and spiting and crying while scratching and rolling on the ground doing all of this at the same time.
For first time John feeled sorry for its predator because it itself had become
Hunted.
The john laughed and started to watch the struggling wolf.
Atlast not able to take it more anymore the wolf wailied up loudly.
Listening to it the second wolf which was coming slowly speed up while howling in response.
"Oh shoot! I totally forgoted about this wolf "John spoked .
He started to run away from the wolf which was wailing towards the river.
Seeing this the second wolf sped up and started to do full sprint.
John saw that the second wolf was coming at him at full speed .
That thing will catch me in two minutes at lastest he thought.
What should I do my spear is already broken ! John thought while still continuing to run while looking back.
Should I climb a tree?Nope a bad idea
What if it will wait down there not leaving even after days.then what will
I do ?
Sweat was pouring down from his head and as he was running continuosly his legs also started to feel painful.
Shit! I will not last longer if these continues ....
As he was running he saw that now the wolf had covered up much of the distance and it's figure was also clearly visible.
"Idea! Some good idea ! Think about it
Jay!" He was huffing now .
Vines!
Yes,those absurdly strong vines!
I had tied many of those around them on this side of the river too!
He changed his direction of running towards the nearest vines which he had tied to two trees to play as junglegym.
He increased his speed to his absolute limit now he knewed what to do .
The wolf was also nearing by like a bullet it had already crossed plains and was now near at the riverside just hundreds of metres away.
John finally spotted the vines he jumped over the tied vines and placed himself in the other side and stopped already Huffing loudly and his legs shaking out.
Wolf seeing that it's target had stopped sped up once more and due to his speed it didn't noticed the vines which were tied between the trees which it was running into.
John looked towards the wolf rushing towards the vines seemingly with bated breath seeing that will his idea work or not?
The wolf camed and rushed now just few metres away from its prey but suddenly it met up resistance he saw that it was stucked by some vines
So it applied more force .
John watched the scene in which wolf was stucked in his junglegym vines not able to get out of it.
Wolf tried to apply more force but nothing happened,the vines didn't broke the vines bended makeing a arc .the vines tied up were making a visible mark of cracks on the trees which it was tied to resulted in cracking sound getting louder.
John for first time saw the true potential and limit of those absurdly strong vines.
The more the wolf tried to come out of it the more it entangled it became its front legs were stucked between many of the vines and its head also stucked in vines unable to bring it out.
So John looking at this opportunity decided to tie it up .
Luckily there were many vines of similar kind nearby.
He first tied the backlegs of the wolf which were still free together with vines.
Then finally it's front legs restricting it's moment .
Thankfully these monster although much more agile and has keen sense of smell it's not physically powerful and not intelligent enough John thought.
Wolf finally realising that he was stucked and screwed let out a very loud
Howl so much that birds flew away from nearby trees and John had to close his ears.
"Shut up !!" John screamed while picking up a stone to throw at wolf which was howling.
The stone landed squarely on the wolf's
Head knocking it out unconscious.
"So this monster is also physically weaker than that boar"
"Wait this one also howling that means it is calling it's other pack"
I should run before they come and catches me.
John started to run again.
He reached up to the river thinking finally he will cross it so wolves will not
Come to other side.
But he felt his all his hairs were standing up on edge and a feeling of doom was also appearing on his body.
Suddenly he felt something had rushed and now was behind him.
He saw a wolf nope.. calling it wolf was unjustified it was much larger than that
Around half a floor tall.
It was huge with crimson eyes staring directly into him.
It had black hard skin like seemingly made up of rock .
It also has a small green stone on its forehead.
And now John was staring at the creature with a look of horror and startled in his eyes.
And creature was staring at John as if
It had founded both a prey and a toy to mess around.
John decided to run ....
More faster than ever before...
The sense of dread and regret was washing over him.
But the creature didn't liked to see his prey run away from him .
It just raised his paw and something
Transparent wave camed out.
A large tree infront of the john crashed
Directly blocking his path.
He looked towards creature.The creature was not even standing it had sit down and was stopping him .
"Shit this time I gonna die for real..."
John muttered with pale face and sweat ozzing out from his forehead.
His heart pumping faster and faster.
The big wolf creature had camed to hunt down John after sensing helps from its clan members.
To be continued....
