His only chance then would be dodging based on his agility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this rat was clearly a novice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian saw the path splitting into two in front. Instead of taking either, he leapt onto a tree and jumped onto a hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rat couldn't adjust its speed and went ahead in the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to stop itself with difficulty and chased him up the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to its high speed, it was always behind him, but Varian was able to avoid becoming its prey by exploiting its inexperience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But…\" Varian felt the chi reserves in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't depleted, but he wasn't in his peak condition either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion injured him, and his actions in saving everyone took a toll. Later, the white light happened, and he ended up here with new injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can't continue running forever.' He slid down the hill and just as the rat leapt at him, he jumped to his right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slammed into the hill, and the impact resulted in gravel flying in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian reached the bottom of the hill and as he ran, he shot a glance at the rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of its scales were broken, and it was slightly bleeding. Except for the minor injury, it was perfectly fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The defense of scales is not as high as I expected.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he glanced into the distance. Even with his greater human sight, the towering rat figure was almost invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So the mama rat is training the kiddo to hunt? And I'm the prey?' He figured the intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Bitch please.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't teleport till now to not alert the mother rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was alerted that Varian was a bigger threat, it might hunt him personally, and that'd be the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite that, his level 2 Chi reserves wouldn't be able to outrun a level 3, even if that is a new level 3 and an inexperienced one at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Just a bit more distance.' Varian continued to sprint down the path strewn with strange green shells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of the mother rat was longer than his. He had to wait till he reached a safe distance and then attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roaar\" The rat squeak almost sounded like a roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was starting to get impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Just a few hundred meters.' Varian wanted to soothe it before it died. Alas, it gave him no chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roaar\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After covering what felt like a safe distance, he glanced back for confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mother rat wasn't in his sight. It might have followed, it might have not. But he had to take his chances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked a mountain again. But only this time, it had a cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come closer.\" He smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rat chased him without any caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they climbed the mountain and were almost reaching the cliff edge, Varian spread his space sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sword appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'One teleportation and you'd be out.' Varian channeled his space power and prepared himself for the perfect moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the mother rat was still watching, then he had no chance of escaping in the first place and had to die in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it wasn't watching, then with the precondition that they were outside its sight, he'd be able to escape far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his bet to survive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dashed towards the edge and the rat was a dozen meters behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roaar\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian gripped his sword and channeled his space power to teleport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roaar\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't teleport!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rat leapt at him, and Varian felt his entire body go cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have the time to question why teleportation didn't work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the rat's molars approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In those moments between life and death, Varian flipped back into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his body rotated, his back was exposed to the rat's teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, he used space binding on himself. Thankfully, it worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crrrunch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-scaled rat bit on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His level 1 Space binding barely managed to hold on for a moment before its teeth chewed on his flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian slightly pulled his back and saved his spine. But in the end, a large chunk of his back was bitten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sssssh\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his sword thrust into the rat's eye. His abrupt change of move at the last moment meant the sword didn't go deep enough to pierce its brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roaar\" It wailed in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was still a novice that didn't experience much pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold metal piercing its sensitive eyes was the worst pain it ever encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Screech\" It stagnated for a moment and didn't control its speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, with it leaping into air with high speed resulted in it reaching the cliff edge and only stopping a few meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a large chunk of his flesh missing, his center of gravity shifted, and thus, Varian landed unsteadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unlike the rat, he wasted no time in the pain and kicked at the creature in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roaar\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rat was kicked off the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrggh\" Varian crouched in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healing potion was still working and thankfully, he wouldn't have to waste the limited amount of those life savers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to get out before that big rat realizes something.\" Varian gritted his teeth and ran down the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost fell a few times. It wasn't from pain, but from the imbalance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood slipped down his back and trickled down his legs as he left a trail of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Exit!

Earth or whatever planet this is, my cadet identity will help me out.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the healing medicine stopped bleeding, Varian was in no position to fight or even escape if he encountered another monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he saw the white barrier.
