Limits. Limits Chapter 103

We traveled south for the rest of the day . Because we had some leftovers from previous hunts, we didn't play the game that day, instead we ate what we had . I asked Sh.e.l.ly "What do you think could be out there, where the fog is?" . Sh.e.l.ly thought about that question for a longer period of time, when it finally shook its head to mean it didn't know .

I didn't know what to expect from that place either . Who knows maybe it was some kind of dangerous area or maybe beyond the fog was a city . Either way, I wanted to find out . Soon after we went to sleep . I actually didn't have any dreams at all . It was because I didn't train my skills nor did I train my body and certainly, I didn't kill people . I think it would be right to say, that people were very rare in these parts of the forest .

It was a nice change to dream about nothing . Maybe I did dream of something but when I woke up, I didn't remembered it . The next morning we had our breakfast and moved towards south again . About an hour maybe hour and a half of traveling later, we encountered another new life form but this time it was kind of aggressive . The creature was aggressive because we entered its territory . It wasn't difficult to kill the creature but I didn't think it was edible .

The creature we encountered looked like snail but it was much bigger than the common snail you would find just after it rained . It was about the size of small cat and also moved much faster than the common snail . It wasn't poisonous but had a very hard sh.e.l.l, maybe even as hard as Sh.e.l.ly's . When I threw daggers at the sh.e.l.l, they only created small cracks . The sh.e.l.l on its back was quite colorful, ranging from vibrant red to azure blue . But just because it had nice coloured sh.e.l.l, it didn't mean it was undestructable .

I said that killing the creature wasn't difficult and that was because only the sh.e.l.l was very hard, its fleshy part was very soft and when my dagger pa.s.sed through, it actually cut off the head of the snail . I wasn't sure what type of skills the snail possessed but I decided to call it Vibrant Snail due to the colours on its sh.e.l.l . This was another new entry to my Beast Scriptures . Although I didn't know much about those Vibrant Snails, next time we meet one, I would study it in greater details .

After that little encounter, we traveled further south, until it was time for lunch . I said to Sh.e.l.ly "I've been waiting for this moment, we will now play the game and decide who goes to hunt!" . Sh.e.l.ly nodded and waited for me to do something as it was now my turn to show and Sh.e.l.ly's to repeat .

Sh.e.l.ly nodded and waited for me to do something as it was now my turn to show and Sh.e.l.ly's to repeat .

I thought 'You wanted to play by those rules so don't blame me!' and walked couple of steps forward . I then turned around and looked at Sh.e.l.ly with a smile . To my surprise, Sh.e.l.ly had something akin to a grin on its face . I thought 'What did this guy think of now?' while expecting for Sh.e.l.ly to try something couple of times and then give up .

But it never happened . What Sh.e.l.ly did next made me speechless . Sh.e.l.ly pushed itself up with its front legs and stood there on hind legs only, just like a human . Sh.e.l.ly then started walking . One step, two steps, three steps and so on . I was so overwhelmed that "How is that possible?" escaped my mouth .

Sh.e.l.ly finished doing what I did and looked at me with not only a grin but also provocation in its eyes . I said "You crafty little b.a.s.t.a.r.d! you knew I was going to do this so you probably practiced!" to which Sh.e.l.ly nodded and maintained the grin . I said "Alright, now you show me what to do" . I was now on my guard and though 'What is Sh.e.l.ly planing now?'

I was now on my guard and though 'What is Sh.e.l.ly planing now?'

Sh.e.l.ly looked at me and then simply hid all its legs and head inside the sh.e.l.l . I thought 'That b.a.s.t.a.r.d! it's obvious I can't achieve that!' and then said to Sh.e.l.ly "It's obvious I can't do that, I don't have a Sh.e.l.l!" but Sh.e.l.ly argued that it had to walk on hind legs while being a turtle . I was at a loss 'What can I do? Sh.e.l.ly is right . Normally, only a few kinds of animals can walk on just two legs and turtles are not really one of them' .

I said "Fine, you win but you can't use the same thing in the next game!" to which Sh.e.l.ly nodded its head in agreement . I then went into the forest for a hunt . I didn't have to look for long before a group of normal wolves entered my sight . I took care of the pack of wolves and butchered them straight away . With bag full of meat, I returned to the place where Sh.e.l.ly was waiting and roasted the meat .

After we had our lunch, I said to Sh.e.l.ly "Next time, I'm going to win!" but Sh.e.l.ly only grinned even more . I knew it was planning something again but I wasn't to be played with, I could also do things that no turtle could!

When we rested enough, we traveled further south for the rest of the day . The next morning, after breakfast . I went towards the cliff to have a look . We already traveled for couple of days towards southern direction, I hoped to find some signs of the d.a.m.ned cliff ending . My hopes were answered and I could see in the distance something like a path downwards .

"Finally!" I exclaimed and called out to Sh.e.l.ly "Let's go, I can see what looks like to be a path down the cliff!" . Sh.e.l.ly came running and followed my sight . Sh.e.l.ly didn't like heights, it probably wanted to check what is it that I called "A path" to make sure it was nothing dangerous . My sight was much better than Sh.e.l.ly's but it could still make out some sort of path .

I said "Don't worry, we will get there in about 2 days of time and then we can have a proper look . If you don't like it at all, we will go further south and maybe find another path" . Sh.e.l.ly nodded and seemed to be more at ease due to my words . We packed our staff and moved towards the newly discovered path that awaited us . We traveled south for the rest of the day .
