The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel

287 Chapter 287:The Beginning Of The Hunt

Gone were the days when with a greatsword in his hand, a boy with golden hair had a carefree look while swinging around that huge greatsword among the chaos of destruction.

Alex felt as if he had been separated from his first love long ago who was starting to haunt him.

If anyone who knows him well and heard him, he would be cursed to death for his actions.

Alex shook his head and instead of rushing ahead like a brave man, he turned his back and started to flee but he didn't forget to mock them while fleeing.

"Son of bitch, if you dare call yourselves a man come after me," Alex shouted and ran away tugging his tail.

The ferocious baldies who were attacking Alex were suddenly rooted on the ground with an expression of shock and disbelief as they were stunned to see the man who was massacring them a while ago run away from them as if they were some kind of disease.

Their mouths hung open as they saw the back of the boy running away like lightning into the forest behind.

OWOWOWOW!

A big guy opened his mouth to emit a beastly roar and stomped his feet on the ground. The powerful beastly roar was enough to snap everyone back to their senses.

A moment later, hundreds of dark vile bodies were seen chasing a man like a predator through the forest.

After a few minutes of chasing, the fastest ones among them were able to catch sight of Alex while the rest of the pack was on their back. They were still hot on Alex's trail chasing him like a criminal who had committed a heinous crime.

Alex noticed them catching on their back and his lips curled upwards.

With the small run, he had already divided them into groups and can start to hunt them separately.

Alex analysed that they need some time to make poisonous acidic balls and if Alex met head-on, there may be chances of his weapons being damaged as it could even erode mana and aura.

Alex slowed down his speed and the second they caught up to him, Alex paused, turned around and like a swift ferocious cheetah pounced on them striking with his sword as fast as possible.

These people didn't think that the scared human who was running away would strike them suddenly.

They weren't prepared for this and had already let their guard down.

But being a hunter for a long time, they were already adapted to the event that is to expect the unexpected.

They were hunters that possessed the ability to respond to danger instinctively.

Whoosh!

They shot their swords at him, aiming at Alex's figure while trying to buy some time to prepare the spitball.

Without allowing them to retreat, Alex dodged all of them and reached near them.

The group wasn't given any chance to struggle. Three were decapitated at the same time while the remaining two responded in time.

Jumping back to narrowly escape the arc of that swing, they jumped on him but they failed to notice the subtle change in the arc of the sword drawn by Alex who changed the motion and was now thrusting his sword their way.

The sword stabbed and pierced through the chest of one and branched out of its back and stabbed another one into the head of another.

Alex pulled his sword and struck the others.

After killing the six, he noticed more attacks from the back. Alex's senses kicked in quickly and his body reacted on its own to dodge the sharp blades coming at him from the back.

He immediately whipped his body and sliced his sword roughly without looking at them properly.

Two more baldies' heads were blown away and they were flung away dropping on the corpse of their friends.

Alex turned around and took a large stomp, shot forward like a cannon.

Rotating his sword, he stabbed it downwards towards the other group.

Swish!

An invisible sharp mass of pressure emerged that passed through in a straight line which poked the head open of the incoming group.

Alex's ear perked up as he heard the roars and shouts of many.

Many of them were closing in and Alex had to think of something. There were at least 40-60 Epic ranks in the hoard which could put him in danger if surrounded by all sides.

He looked around the surrounding area which was filled with tall trees and shrubs to hide.

Looking around, his gaze falls on the corpse under his feet.

He stared at the greenish-black slimy liquid. He didn't know whether these creatures' senses of smell were strong or not, but it was better for him not to take chances.

He leaned forward pressing his hands on the puddle of blood to check whether it was poisonous or not and sure enough it was poisonous as Alex was prickled as it touched him.

It wasn't life-threatening and the effect was quite minor causing rashes and itching. Alex could heal it up and detoxify it.

Without wasting any time, he applied blood all over his body while trying to contain his urge to puke.

His scent was masked properly and was taken over by rotten eggs along with spoiled food and trash that had been left for months. It was too sickening.

For more preventive measures, Alex rolled on the ground in the soil attaching the soil and leaves over his skin.

Standing up, he subtly climbed up a towering tree whose branches were thick enough to support many humans.

Alex climbed a tree and looked around, glided his feet towards others and moved around towards a safer location far away from the crime spot filled with blood and corpses.

Reaching under the thick branch, he pulled the smaller twigs to cover himself.

Several breaths later around 110 of them arrived down below and searched around.

They were angry and unable to take out their prey.

They sniffed the air while looking for the trails, and they found someone rolling on the ground a small foot strides of steps going forward.

Roaring out,they spread out to search for them.
