The Blind Bandit (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 12: The Regal Mammoth part 4. Reunited

Thanks to the Thunder peppermint, the visual and auditory hallucinations won't matter. 'I'll learn his location by smell!' The hunter thought to himself. Once the other senses were narrowed to one locating the animal would be easier, including having his eyes shut will help a lot. After a few seconds the mystery bird was to the right of him. "It's there!" Toriko shouted as he prepared the knife attack. "Knif..." The hunter started when the bird suddenly appeared behind him and chomped down into his back. Shit! "Toriko! One point concentrated! Thunder peppermint!" The girl shouted as she shot a glop of the frag into the beast's face. The shock of getting hit in the eye caused it to let the hunter go. Here's his chance! "Take this!" Toriko shouted as he made a swiped at the animal but to his shock and surprise the animal was already clear across from him.

"Damn! This bastard...by isolation he's even made a hallucination of his position by smell!" Toriko growled. Now it's gonna make it even harder. Isolation (detachment segregation isolation) like in break dancing and pantomime, the method of moving one part of the body independent. This at high speed and moreover performing it during emergencies, leaving an afterimage, making the enemy not look for its actual location. The wild mimesis species does this, combined with the hallucination effect makes the effectiveness greater. Usually the sense of sight is lead astray but the mystery bird, manipulating its own smell volume, deceived Toriko's sense of smell.

The animal appeared to be getting angry as more and more time passed and gave a loud roar. Rubbing his chin a bit the hunter commented nervously. "This is bad, that attack Rin did just now made it mad... Such a troublesome opponent, goddamnit. But I can't use my powerful throttle though...aaahhhh!!" He shouted the last part as the animal suddenly lounged forward to attack. Rin was just about to shout when all of a sudden a blur of movement landed on the animal, causing it stop in shock. "!?" Toriko went as the two stared in surprise as the white blur jumped over the hunter and landed behind him.

 Toriko smiled brightly as he watched his furred partner pant a bit and exclaimed happily, "Terry!" Walking over to the wolf, Toriko kneeled and hugged her. "You're ok! I'm glad, I'm glad! I'm glad you caught up! By the way, you really caught up quickly." He said to the wolf happily as he petted the animal.

Rin watched as she covered her blushing face with her hands. How she envied them! But she's really fast at this size already! How many kilometers is it from black carpet to devil athletics? The tomboy wondered to herself as she watched the touching scene. The bird didn't move, not that it didn't want to but the reason why was because it couldn't. The wolf that had just appeared was yet still a child and knew at that moment it was outstripped in terms of power. 

Even if it hadn't realized it, the way the wolf attacked as if the hallucinations weren't even seen by the wolf and just went straight to the real self in a flash. The battlewolf had an extraordinary talent for fighting and just from sensing only a portion of the wolf's disposition the mystery bird took warning. A second later the pup jumped a couple of times, stoping a aways from the two and looked expectedly at them. The two stared in silent surprise at her (wolf) before Toriko said, "Terry... That's a different route.." He stopped, looking at the wolf a bit more before understanding what was being asked of him. 

To Rin, he said, "Let's go Rin." That surprised the girl. "Eh? We're going with Terry? But.." Toriko interrupted her as he explained, "Compared to the reaction of Sunny's touch, Terry's sense is sharp. Perhaps the wild intuition's reaction is much bigger than the reaction gotten physically, that's connected to an ability to avoid a current crisis. Perhaps a big danger is drawing near..! Now we're going to believe in the route Terry is taking!"

Jumping easily, the two caught up with the wolf before continuing to move on. As they continued to move, thankfully without any more issue, they quickly passed by the next boss, which Toriko happened to glance over and a huge pig-like animal with horns and scaly-like skin. 'I'm so glad we didn't take that route. I'd be sorry to fight with a boss like that.' Toriko thought as the group continued to move. He's in no kind of shape to fight with a beast like that.
