A CHANCE OF THE DEMONS!!! Grabbing hold of that chance, Allaine sprinted full speed ahead! Kicking the dust and leaving the crouched adult behind!

Allaine is not just fast, he also has incredible footwork and balances to be able to run at the downhill of a mountain with full speed! Using that balance and footwork of him to his advantage! He utilizes his drifts and makes sure to turn left or right every 30 seconds! Doing a zigzag pattern of running around!

Also, they're in a forest so doing this puts him at a very great advantage! Allaine is not just running! He's also using his head!!!

"I'm composed today... I can do this!!!"

At the start of the chase war, Allaine sprints off with the favor tilted at his favor!!! Will he run until the finish line or... someone will catch up to him, and eradicate his existence, bringing him back to the hell he once escaped!!!?

+++++

"I've been running for almost 3 minutes now, yet I can't see any signs that I'm reaching a civilization... running zigzag took a toll from my body..."

With his rugged breaths scattering at the air, he continues to run, but this time, It's already at a straight line! A straight line, different from his zigzag run that he did earlier!

He changed his weapons!!! From the seemingly effective zigzag sword to a normal straight and long sword! Why?! Because of the stamina! To be running zigzag, he needs to turn constantly... But doing that requires him to run more than a straight running would! So he already stopped It!

"I already lost them anyway so there's no point... Maybe I'll rest..."

Putting his legs at a halt, he stops and stands in front of a tree. Covered by the seeping heat of the sun, he catches his already rugged breaths slowly... slowly... like a snail slowly crawling at the tree...

"I'll only stop for a while, If I stop for too long... they'll catch up..."

Confirming that as a fact within his mind, he turns his head at the wide forest he just got himself into. The green leaves and foliage shine brightly due to the ultraviolet rays exposed to It, resulting in an even more beautiful hue...

The soil he's stepping on is soft but holds enough strength to withstand his weight and the tree he's leaning towards is sturdy enough to support him.

"Nature... is beautiful..."

Arriving at that conclusion, Allaine can't help but close his eyes... Imagine his family... His father works hard for them... His mother who took care of them and whom he respected so much... His younger siblings which he wants to give a brighter future...

"All of them... deserves a future devoid of worries..."

Steeling that thought once again within his mind as If he never thought of It before, he opens his eyes... But the moment he did... The corner of his left eye sent a signal going to his brain!!!

"He's... coming!"

Recognizing that threat before his eyes, without any further ado, he sprinted!!! Using all of the strength on his quadriceps, he takes off! Like a jet gushing at the path, Allaine runs ahead!

But this chaser already closed the distance within seconds! He has the same speed as Allaine despite being an adult! No, he's faster!!!

Adults normally run slower than teenagers because of their already aging bodies! But as If contradicting that fact, he runs the same speed as Allaine! Contending with a teenager's speed!!!

"What... the hell...?"

After mere seconds, he's already running at the same line as Allaine! With his sharp eyes glaring right at him, and a supposed thin body that is now as fast as a teenager running full speed!

"That adult..."

Mere seconds only have passed after identifying the chaser, he drifts towards his position, stretched out his arm, and... tried to GRABBED HIM!!! BY THE NECK!!! BY THE NECK!!!

Thanks to his precise reflex, Allaine managed to dodge his attempt to grab him! Due to his sudden drift, the adult lost his balance came plummeting to the ground! Giving Allaine more time to recover and put some distance between them!

During all that events, Allaine's heart was unable to keep up! The tension he feels plus the continued pumping of his heart proves to be a not really good combination! Resulting in a:

"gha-"

HEART ATTACK!!!
