All Novel Full 36 Bird
My eyes squinted towards the direction it had come from, allowing me to see a mildly feathery bird flying high and raining down razor-sharp feathers like the ones that had just slashed my cheek and forced blood to be drawn out of me.
“Now… How the hell am I supposed to attack that thhing if it is so high in the air?”
The bird quickly let out a cry as if taunting me, causing me to furrow my brows in anger and clench my teeth as my piercing eyes glared at it flying above me.
It continued to shower me in its razor-sharp feathers yet it seemed like its ain wasn’t the best since barely any of them actually came towards me or even got close to hitting me.
A low squeak left the mouth of a creature under me, forcing me to look down just to see a mouse half the size of a lion looking up at me with ferocious eyes as a feather stabbed into its back and locked it in place.
“You think I did that?” I pointed at myself with a chuckle, as if I had completely forgotten about the anger that had boiled within my blood a few seconds earlier.
“Hmm?” As if I was just reminded of the situation I was in, I instantly moved my head back and watched as a feather shot past me.
The feather, while looking like a normal white feather that just happened to fall from the sky with a velocity that did not match its design, also had something else that looked weird about it.-.
The feather shone with a specific luster as the lights of the sun reflected off it as if it was some kind of metal or reflective crystal.
“Well, that explains why they are so hard” I once again chuckled to my own joke before once again narrowing my eyes into a cold and serious expression.
“How do I deal with you… Oh wait, can’t I just run into a part of the forest with more dense trees and a short canopy? That way it would never be able to attack me without coming down from its flight, something I am willing to bet it won’t do” I concluded as I jumped to the ground and was immediately attacked by something to my right.
I of course already knew that it was there even with my red vision, something that I hadn’t gotten used to anyway, gone. I wasn’t about to base my entire strategy on getting back to the skull home I now situate myself in, one something one-time vision trick that happened to activate at a time I needed it.
I had already memorized and even left marks on the places I traveled past and I was going to continue doing so until the bird loses chase of me.
Anyway, I quickly stabbed my spear to the right without looking at what the threat was. The dread that came from the thing was low anyway, meaning that it was probably a weak creature anyway and the danger was only temporary since I wouldn’t have known where it was without the dread.
I instantly started sprinting in the direction of the thicker woods, and the direction that happened to be where I had ‘spawned’ after dying for the second time in my existence.
The sound of running water immediately hit my ears and I chose to avoid that area entirely since chances were that there would not be any trees around the river itself.
“The waterfall is a little far from her but I should be able to got there in an hour or so.” I muttered under my breath, my expression as cold and calculating as the time I followed the reptile creature that had attacked me a few days ago.
A few creatures popped out here and there yet, for the most part, they weren’t much of a problem for me.
I would just stab them through the throat before using my other hand to rip their heads off. Some of them were a bit harder to kill causing me to slow down and almost get hit by the feathers a few times, but for the most part, the journey was quiet.
*Qauwk!*
I could tell the bird was getting frustrated, and as if that was a sign, a began hearing the sounds of crashing water up ahead, causing me to smile lightly while taking one last glance at the bird flapping its wings wildly trying to hit me with its remaining feathers.
Of course, it had not been shooting the whole time and instead, had been shooting at intervals and whenever I slowed down or whenever it had a clear view of me, yet all it had done was give me 2 scratches that had stopped bleeding 30 seconds after being cut.
I swiftly ducked and rolled behind one of the nearby trees and allowing it to take the brunt of the attacks before running once again, trying my best to dodge any of the remaining feather attacks that were shot.
When I had finally run-up to the cliffside of the waterfall, I crouched down, bent my legs, and used all the strength within my legs to leap a few dozen meters before barely landing on a tree itself, not a branch.
This did not scare me much however since I immediately used my spear to stab into the tree, holding myself up in place and making sure that I would not fall.
“On the topic of being tired…” I panted while continuing a conversation that I had with myself while running. “I haven’t slept in over 24 hours. No wonder I feel so sleepy all of a sudden.” I tried to chuckle, yet it came out more forced than I thought it would have.
At the same moment, I felt a shiver go down my spine as the dread reached another level, yet I knew that was the sign I was waiting for.
The once majestic bird was now featherless as it penetrated through the high canopy of trees and shot down, yet before it could halt its movements to look for me, it saw movement in the distance wearing a white shirt with a huge red mark on the back and front.
Its excitement took over its emotions and caused it to flap its wings as hard as it could without a single bit of hesitation.
The bird immediately turned into a blur as it moved across the forest, dodging trees and branches in the way until it was finally in front of the thing that it had been chasing for several days now.
However, its eyes widened when it saw what it had charged at. A branch about 6ft tall with two smaller branches entering the holes where my arms were supposed to be, while the larger branch went from the bottom to the top.
Of course, it looked nothing like me, yet due to its emotions and the fact that it was looking at me from a distance, the only thing that mattered to it had been the color of my shirt.
Before it could move, it felt its whole body shake violently in fear.
Its eyes widened even more in desperation, while its wings tried their hardest to flap and get out of the situation, yet its reaction was a little too late.
A piercing pain shot through its body, its epicenter being its right wing as a pierced it with my spear that had become a little loose after my last act of using it to stay on the tree.
The bird did not have enough time, and simply could not move enough to get me off its back so it only took me another second to take out the spear and shove it into the other wing.
We destroyed several branches as the bird descended, yet not for a second did I care about the noise we made. The only thing on my mind was how I could kill the bird and I was already doing it.
The poison from the spear had spread deep into its bloodstream, now causing a painful burning sensation to pulse from every blood vessel as its heart struggled to beat.
It was letting out its final breaths while its body continued to be rammed and even pierced by the branches we fell on.
