UNLIMITED SPEED-Chapter 16 16. DANGER
Noah's eyes almost popped out. He had truly fucked up. He had not been cautious of his environment, and that was because he thought he was the strongest in the area.
The lizard looked menacingly at him, then roared, its roar almost burst his eardrums, and the ground shook slightly.
Immediately Noah used all the strength he had to roll away from his position. Rolling to the side.
Where he was a 5ft tall earth spike shot out. The lizard wanted to kill him in one go.
He was about to pass out, the pain coming from his insides and arms was intense. "What should I do?" Noah shouted inwardly. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
He tried standing up, but he felt devoid of energy, the roll had taken all he had and he was scared.
Luckily the lizard had not moved from its spot for some reason, but then it did, contrary to the speed of its tail the lizard's movement was slow and even slower to him.
Noah's brain was working overtime to find a solution, to the extent that his eyes began to glow, and Sparks began to accumulate around his body.
Noah had unintentionally activated the speed force, which helped his mental faculties, and even sped up his healing.
Noah felt energy pouring into him, and immediately he stood up, his legs were fine from the beginning, but his internals was still healing.
Then he ran, or rather he tried to.
looking at his legs Noah wondered why he had not moved, only for him to find that both his feet were impaled by spikes.
Noah stood there unmoving as sparks continued accumulating around and on his body, he didn't even scream from the pain he was feeling, at this point his hand had healed and his internals were almost completely healed.
Noah looked at the incoming lizard and felt at peace, he had been careless and now he was going to pay for it.
"No I don't want to die, I haven't achieved anything, this is not how I want it to end", Noah said in his mind,
The sparks accumulated around him even more, up until the extent that his figure began to glow with red radiance.
Noah watched in slow motion, as the lizard twisted its long body cracking its tail at him.
"No, I don't want to die" Noah shouted out with terror.
<strong>BOOOOMMM!!</strong>
[New skills unlocked]
[Energy Pulse: When activated sparks accumulate around the user until it is released in the form of a pulse that destroys anything within a 10-meter radius. Costs 50 Mp. Cooldown 30minutes.]
[Energy Barrier: When activated a magical Barrier made of pure energy appears around the user, Durability depends on how much Mana is pumped into it. Costs 20 Mp when activated initially]
Noah stared at the new skills he had gained, he was incredibly happy for the timely unlocking of the skills, what the bright figure said about him earning some skills rang continuously in his head.
Looking around he found that the Energy pulse had obliterated anything within a 10 meters radius. The trees, the grass, even the spikes made by the Lizard.
Noah looked at the lizard to see it thrashing around in pain, a quarter of its tail was gone, and the remaining looked badly burnt.
At that sight Noah rejoiced, the pulse had destroyed Even the spikes that pierced his feet.
After half a minute or so, his feet were fully healed.
Immediately after that was done Noah turned around, his body emitting red Sparks, his eyes began to glow, the speed force filled him with power. Then he ran
<strong>BOOOOOOOM!!</strong>
Seemingly disappearing from his former position if not for the red Lightning streak, Noah ran away from the lizard, apart from the tail it was completely fine, which meant Noah was unable to defeat it at his current level. He didn't gain a groundbreaking skill, so he knew his limits.
Running for a few seconds Noah crossed a long distance, making the gap between him and the area where he encountered the lizard wide.
Coming to a stop, Noah retracted his aura, and climbed a tree. He was visibly shaking.
Honestly, he was close to shedding tears, but he didn't since he knew what happened was completely his fault.
Resting on one of the tree branches, Noah calmed himself down, reviewing the near-death situation he was previously in.
"Damn Tier 2 beasts are on a different level" was all he could say.
The experience had thrown him back to earth, making him remember that he wasn't a 'god' yet. If he continued his carelessness he would probably get himself killed faster than expected.
Heaving a deep Sighing, Noah decided that from that day onward he would not relax as long as he was in the wild.
The reason why the magical beast found him was that he had let his challenging aura flow continuously, without caring about other dangers.
After resting for about an hour, Noah jumped down from the tree and ate a chunk of roasted meat. His healing skill fixed his body to his peak, but he was still hungry. His body still needed nourishment.
Noah could have decided to stop hunting for the day but since he wanted to get stronger, he had to continue. he decided to check his status

He was three levels away from his goal. And he planned to achieve them today. He wasn't sure if he needed to do anything when he was about to evolve, but right now he didn't care.
Walking away from his position, Noah navigated through the forest, he was a bit scared of releasing his aura, but he did it anyway. No one would progress without taking risks.
After a minute or so, he heard roars, coming from different areas around his position. Then he began to sense the aura of the beasts.
Getting ready Noah formed the 'Energy Blades on both his arms. Honestly, he wondered why the system did not recognize it as a skill, probably because it was simply a manipulation of lightning.
A Bear entered his line of sight he inspected it, and it was just a level 20.
The bear was running towards him with fury In its eyes. It navigated its large body through the trees, before getting around 10 meters away from Noah.
At this Noah promptly moved, he wasn't going to stay in the same position for long during his hunting, which meant he was going for a fast kill.
Flashing in front of the bear's head Noah slashed his right hand upwards, splitting its head in two. He immediately stored its body, ignoring the messages of gaining exp.
In that split second he decided on his next target. He ran to his left dodging trees and arriving In front of another bear. He slashed at its side, leaving a gaping wound there which let the bear roar in agony.
"Crap should have aimed for its head," Noah said.
Immediately he turned and slashed at its head cutting it off cleanly. He stored the body before moving again.
This time he found a fox, it wasn't that big for a tier 1, it was around the size of a kid's bicycle, but it was fast.
Though it still moved in slow motion to Noah. He appeared beside the fox, slashing the backside of the fox with both hands, which resulted in its body splitting in two. he immediately stored it. Before moving again.
He continued this for about two hours, finding different Magical beasts of different levels, He didn't expect it to take this long since there was an abundance of Magical beasts and he only needed three levels.
He only stopped when a message that was shining blue popped up.
[You have reached the maximum level of your current Tier. Would you like to commence Advancement now]
[Yes/No]
