The New World -Ornia

Chapter Three -Survival

Back! She thought and she began moving backward as she slaughtered endlessly. All through her life and training, Euodia had never had to kill anything, not even a roach. Now she was endlessly slaughtering but she didn’t even feel a thing because all her thoughts were on her life.

Thirty minutes later her suit was torn in many places despite the quick mending, her body was riddled with numerous claw and fang wounds and she had lost a lot of blood, fortunately, the energy from the suit kept nourishing her body, healing and sustaining her. In all her life Euodia had never gone through so much pain, endless wounds, and endless healing, the physical and mental strain was unbearable but her strong desire to live kept her going. There was no torture worse than this. At times her tendon would be torn, other times it would be a fatal wound on her neck or wrist. She had to be careful at all times because a wound to her heart or brain could not be healed and the long claws of some of the more special wolves could get that deep into her, in fact, she had been stabbed countless times with one reaching only two inches away from her heart.

Watching the wolves who successfully tore out a part of her flesh filled her with rage that she had long stopped running instead she put her heart and all of her mental energy into the killing and preserving her life.

Rebecca was also busy through all of this, she had to control the energy to prioritize the more fatal wounds and at the same time prioritize the suit at important places like her chest head and other vessels. Eventually, she discovered that Euodia was stepping on some medicinal herbs so after a short evaluation she used the suit to absorb their medicinal essence for Euodia to absorb taking the opportunity to study their effects and register them in her memory.

As she slaughtered Euodia was moving but not toward the outskirts but subconsciously deeper. Three hours later, it was only one hour before midnight and more creatures were attracted to the endless energy from Euodia. Now she wasn’t fighting only wolves but other strange creatures as well, the mixture of strong and weak caused her injuries to continuously worsen. Although the energy from her suit continuously nourished her, it could not replace food, water, blood, and other essentials the human body needed. Fortunately, with the energy her body could process the medicinal essence she was receiving from the plants she stepped on and kept replenishing her. But nothing could replenish mental energy, nothing could make a man active after intense learning for three hours at the edge of death and under pressure.

An hour before sunrise, Euodia was a million times worse, from the opening on her stomach her insides were hanging out, she had to hold them in with one hand while to nanobots under Rebecca worked to heal her.

Still, the beasts endlessly approached. At this time all her anger was gone, even as some beasts ate her fallen flesh before her. She was struggling between giving up and fighting to live, but with all this gore and fighting for a girl who only had some training without any life or death combat, the desire to give up and rest eternally was blazing in her heart.

‘Euodia the nanobots in your body have been reduced by 96% it will take three years for the suit to reproduce them…’

‘Lay ore is finished’

‘The suit is overheating’

‘Your mental exhaustion is over 90%’

Truly Rebeccas’s intelligence was incomparable to man’s because her endless reports pushed Euodia further and further into hopelessness. A few hours ago she was excited in a space-ship only to fall into a wormhole and appear in another world. She accepted it and wanted to live a normal life here since she had wealth on Earth. But the heavens were never fair as she was made to witness endless bloodshed and bear insane pain of her body being rippled and healed, and the mental torture of watching herself eaten by beasts.

Eventually, she lay down on the ground before the mad beasts to rest. If these beasts were men perhaps they would feel admiration or pity, unfortunately, they were beasts with an innate desire to eat and enjoy the flesh and blood of other creatures, so they pounced on her without any hesitation.

*****

Sometime earlier the Sage who went after Euodia saw the wolves rushing toward a certain direction and she avoided them, to her if Euodia was there then she’d already been in the bellies of the wolves who shared her so she ruled out that possibility. Even if she went there, she wouldn’t survive if she was spotted by even one wolf because they would all rush at her and she wouldn’t be able to move a meter forward let alone meet her savior. She couldn’t be blamed, how was she to know about Euodia’s strange suit? Or even more about the energy that could endlessly mend the suit and heal her?

Thus she could only wander around the forest in search of Euodia, when she noticed the strange activity of the beasts she was gripped by fear but she kept pushing forward. But the moment she saw that the beasts that were usually inactive even at night, the terrifying old demons, were actively roaming around, she had to find a place to hide.

“If she didn’t hide, then she would be dead already. If she did hide somewhere then I can find her when the older beasts go back to rest”

It was this decision to stay behind that caused a crazy frenzy back at the tribe. Just a few kilometers away from this Paradise forest was the Akata tribe and to this tribe, the Sage was their spiritual support.

When news came back that the Sage was schemed against, the tribe Elders were furious and restless, mostly because their most capable warriors were with the sage so sending more people was irrelevant. Especially since the tribe was in a face-off against their mortal enemy the Hell tribe. If news got out that the Sage and most capable warriors were not in the tribe the Hell tribe would surely seize the opportunity to attack and the Akata tribe would fade into oblivion. For this reason, they could not move their troops or send even a single person since the risk was too high.

When the sky turned dark and the Elders were at their wit's end and wanted to send someone to check the situation, Trevor and his team sneaked into the Ancestral hall.
