The Most Satisfied Reincarnate

Chapter 340 - In A Hopeless Situation

Meanwhile, in the middle of the barren land where Felix and the rest of Desmond's subordinates were located, a horde of beasts was seen coming at them with roars and cries.

"Sir, what should we do now?" A man with a tattoo and muscular body asked. He was carrying a great sword on his back while wearing rugged clothes armor.

Behind him, there were many men with the same appearance carrying various weapons, from the spear to the short sword. All of them stared at the muscular old man who was wearing butler clothes while also looking at those fierce beasts in the afar.

Upon taking a closer look, one could spot they had one similarity. Each of them was carrying a plant with many thorns that pierced their back, yet no one of them seemed to notice or care about that.

When someone looked at their feet, they were not wearing any shoes, making their feet look hard as the barren ground. It was a miracle for them to walk casually in those barren land with the scorching heat, frying their body.

In addition, they all had a withered face with giant eye bags hanging below their eyes and dry lip that might bleed if they opened their mouth.

A fly suddenly approached one of them from out of nowhere. However, in the next moment, when the fly came to intact with their body, it suddenly fell down with foam in its top.

The man that the fly approached was gloomy upon seeing this. He then pulled his clothes and tried to sniff himself. 

There was nothing wrong. His body still emitted the smell of rotten sweat but not dangerous for his health. For him, this was normal as the other people had the same scent.

"Arms yourself. We will face them!" When the old man spoke and unsheathed the short sword on his wrist, they could feel his uncertain decision and a bit of fear in his tone.

The old man was Felix.  After running around from the pursuit of the North Kingdom soldiers, they were finally free. But, the problem comes at them one by one.

Ranged from the beasts who were attracted with their blood due to the previous battles with soldiers and facing a crisis of lacked waters. The beasts were fearless and not a quitter; they kept pushing them and forced them to this barren land.

Looking at the beasts that should be around more than twenty hundred, ranging from the E - C class, it seems he and his group fortunate already met a disaster. There was nothing else in the range of 200 m around them except a few plants and small animals.

No terrain could be used for them to hide. Running to the other side also was impossible with those beasts scattered covered the directions.

Running back also was also not the best option. They were still human in the end and, at the same time, a 2nd class swordsman.

Although they could enhance their bodies, an animal from the beasts race had a natural advantage over their bodies that were designed for them to survive for a long time.

On the other hand, the rest of the people also feel depressed. Upon waiting for their death, regret filled their minds. They could not help but wonder about their master condition.

Did they regret to keep following their masters? Of course not! Regret for not seeing their master in the door of their death? Maybe yes.

No one of them had the vigor to kill those beasts again. For a month, they were sick of killing and running. Although they had no urge to resist, they still raised their weapons to respect Felix's last decision.

*rumble* *rumble*

As the beasts horde slowly came closer to them, Felix and his group were already prepared for their death. Empowering themselves for the last moment with their hands tightly gripped their weapons.

"Young master, I'm truly sorry that I cannot help you in the future," Felix spoke. He was still thinking about his daughter, assuming his daughter was already running and now was safe with his young master.

Felix still remembered his daughter's pure and innocent smile back then before that evil organization kidnapped her and did something to her.

*ROAR*

Suddenly a loud roar or cries louder than any beasts sounded in the entire plain. The rumble from those beasts stopped 10 cm away from Felix and his subordinates.

They could not believe they saw because those beasts were stopped. They were staring at them without any intention to step or charge at them.

"What happens?" Felix as the temporary leader of this group confused when he saw the beasts only staring at them with red eyes, and their wide mouth kept dripping saliva.

The next moment, a large shadow enveloped the sky, blocking the heat from the sun and also making Felix and his group almost run by their human instinct.

A danger! A real threat!

*thumb*

A large shadow landed on the ground between the beasts horde and Felix and his group. Amidst the process, the ground was destroyed, forming a small pit and throwing some pebbles around.

Still in his position, Felix looked at the massive object, which was five times larger than any beast, and its wings spread to the sides with its eyes looking at him.

"Hahaha!" Felix, with his old age, finally saw within his eyes what the children and the rumors told about that beast were true!

Sky Hunter! A rank beast! The cause of the last beast horde that suffered the North Kingdom with many villages and people died under its attacks.

This beast had an intelligence same as humans. It also could control the other beast as its wish, but what most important was this beast only lived in the inner territory and rarely went out.

The cause when it appeared a few years ago on the border of North Kingdom, near Helmfirth city still a mystery. Even when two Grandmasters attacked this beast, there was no guarantee they could win against this monster!

"Hahaha!" The rest of the people also laughed hysterically. Before, there was a slim chance for them to survive against the beasts horde. They could bury themselves on the ground, and they could ride those beasts on its top and many ways to prevent their death.

But a sacrifice of their friend was needed for them to do that! In a hopeless situation, those who were survived would need to take care of their friend family, or wife!

But now, even they run or hide, there was no hope hiding in the eyes of Sky Hunter!
