Chapter 93: 93. A Young Paler.

Jael's reaction was instantaneous, he turned left through the trees, towards the Paler's direction.

"Sire," Danag called. "Don't set out alone."

Jael wasn't listening, he picked up his pace, losing his guards in seconds. Suddenly, he stopped and took a whiff of the air. His senses and nose were telling him the paler was nearby but he couldn't see anything.

Jael heard the shift of the wind and something dropped on his shoulder. His reaction was a bit delayed as he didn't think the Paler was above him and it grabbed his neck, its grip tightening immediately.

Jael grabbed its head and pulled, flinging the creature. Its back hit the nearest tree and a whimper escaped its lips. Jael moved immediately, leg running and hands out as he made to punch the Paler.

He jumped as he got close enough, having gathered enough momentum and brought his hand down but the Paler had already recovered and it easily dodged the attack.

His punch made a hole right through the tree. Jael cursed and pulled out his hand. The tree remained standing even with a busted trunk.

Jael twirled his wrist, annoyed that he had missed. The paler was about ten feet away from him on all fours. Its long tongue stuck out to its chin, all wet and dripping. Its fangs were in a zigzag shape, with its incisors the longest of them, almost twice the size of the rest of its fangs.
