The Supreme God

When Marvin saw the distance between Austin and himself was narrowing, he was overjoyed. In an attempt to upset Austin, now and then, Marvin taunted him.

'Wow! Marvin is one persistent guy!'

Austin determined. Since he couldn't change it, he ignored Marvin completely and focused on escaping instead.

"Boy, you won't get away! You should just give up. If you hand over the earth spirit fruits now, perhaps I'll spare your worthless life."

"You want my earth spirit fruits? Then go get them yourself!" snapped Austin over his shoulder as he leaped over a massive row of thorny undergrowth. After landing on the other side, Austin realized that his body's vital energy would be depleted soon.

There was a loud bang from behind Austin which sent thick twigs and leaves flying through the air as Marvin began trudging through the brambly thorns!

Thorny branches and twigs that blocked his way, shattered, whizzing into the sky when Marvin's potent vital energy collided past.

As he made his way through the underbrush, a long passageway right down the middle was created.

"Crash! Crush! Smash!"

Rather than go around the boulders blocking Marvin, he slammed into them!

The large stones instantly disintegrated and dusty rubble was all that remained.

"Hey, you don't need to be so desperate, do you? It's no big deal! Just a few fruits!"

Austin called out over his shoulder as he continued trying to put more distance between himself and his fearsome pursuant.

A few steps more and Austin saw a swamp come into view ahead of him.

He quickly scanned it with his spiritual sense and then, overjoyed, Austin beamed. He had a brilliant idea.

Picking up speed, Austin rushed at the swamp in the distance.

"Brat! We'll just see how much further you can get!" jeered Marvin, gnashing his teeth and drawing more vital energy to speed up.

In a flash, Austin was in the swamp.

"Ssh!" the noise of metal scraping leather reverberated as Austin unsheathed his sword.

There was a swoosh, when his vital energy imbued blade cut through the air as Austin thrust at floating driftwood.

He struck the wood with only one strike. Then, he turned and darted to the forest without glancing behind him.

Heart pounding, as his adrenaline raced through his veins with his blood, Austin ducked behind a towering cedar tree in the blink of an eye before continuing to flee farther into the forest.

"You should slow down, enjoy your run!" shouted Austin right before he vanished.

Behind him, in the swamp Austin had left a surprise for Marvin.
