Since the two colossal monsters or beast are fighting each other in the middle of their way, Angus's group decide to reroute their path to enter either monster or beast territory.
After thinking for a while, they decide to enter the beast's territory, hoping some high-grade beasts ignore them. Unlike the beast, if they choose monster territory, they are bound to have many fights on the way.
Monsters react aggressively towards a being that possesses mana core no matter how small it is. This is also the reason beast and monster always fight each other despite not having any major conflict.
Angus group also chose to enter the beast territory based on this knowledge. Fortunately, they didn't need to enter the territory too deep and just passed through on the outskirts of it.
Without wasting any moment, they immediately go into the beast's territory to avoid the two colossal monsters or beasts battling one with the others.
However, they found a dozen Icetooth monsters fighting a beast on the way to the beast's territory. It is a low-grade levitating monster that is entirely made of ice.
They often use ice elemental attacks when fighting. They are also called Ice spirits monsters since they are similar to it.
Commonly, Icetooth could only be found in the coldest place. However, somehow this herd of icetooths managed to live with the help of the gigantic ice monster's cold aura.
If it is only one or two, Angus and others could just kill them. But, Angus could perceive there are hundreds or more of them scattered in the surrounding area. So, they decide to walk slowly while avoiding these Icetooth monsters.
At this moment, a vast explosion sound was released from behind them. *BOOM* The explosion sound was also followed by a massive tremor towards the surrounding area.
'Damn... They start fighting already.' thought Angus while trying to stabilize himself.
At this moment, Angus could feel hundreds of Icetooth coming into their direction to avoid the clash of the two colossal beasts and monsters.
"Shit, a horde of Icetooth coming this way. We need to run towards the Beast territory now!!" shouted Angus.
Icetooth monsters radiate a chilling aura towards the surroundings. Hundreds of Icetooth monster waves are the same as a tide of freezing wind that will freeze anything on its path.
This kind of thing is almost the same as a natural disaster. So, Angus's group couldn't help but run for their lives to avoid being frozen to death. They at least need to get into the area where it is not frozen to avert this disaster.
Icetooth monsters could only live in the cold area, so they will not go into the place where it is not frozen from the colossal monster chilling aura.
However, Angus and others underestimate the length radius of the chilling aura. They already ran at full speed for a dozen minutes and passed a few kilometers away, yet they still didn't see the end of the frozen ground.
They also found a few lower-grade beasts along the way but chose to ignore them and continue running into the deeper area of beast territory.
'At this rate, we will enter the high-grade beast territory.' thought Angus.
"Draven, ready to show yourself in case of emergency." said Angus telepathically with Draven.
According to Draven, who hides in Angus's shadow, the Beast has their rank. Lower rank beasts will be forced to obey their higher rank beast, even though the higher rank beast is still a lower grade than the inferior rank beast.
As Mundus, Draven rank is on the top on par with dragons and other legendary beasts. However, this will not always work for every beast.
Few of the beasts even do the opposite thing and try to kill the legendary beast to improve themself and their bloodline. So, Angus will only reveal Draven at the last moment.
*RAWWRR* another roar came in front of them. Angus could feel some of the high-grade beasts fend off the incoming Icetooth wave.
'Damn… We couldn't avoid this.' thought Angus.
"Everyone, there is some high-grade Beast in the front. Keep running and prioritize to escape no matter what." shouted Angus to everyone.
At this moment, *RAWWRR* another roar coming again from in front of them. Suddenly, a huge white lion with a height almost the same as the two colossal monsters clashing behind appeared a dozen kilometers in front of them.
The appearance is so sudden, along with the colossal mana pressure towards the surrounding. Everyone couldn't help but stop their move because of the sudden mana pressure. Even Angus couldn't help but stop at his spot and fight the mana pressure.
Less than a moment later, the pressure was gone, and everyone could move again. Before they could feel relief, concentrated mana was coming from the front. Countless small flaming rocks are coming from the front direction [Meteorite Shower].
The [Meteorite Shower] true aim is the Icetooth Wave behind them. However, Angus group just happens along its path.
Looking at the large scale of the attack coming, "Everyone scatters around!!" shouted Angus while immediately dragging Jayna away to avoid the flaming rock that was coming towards them.
Then, using his Sky Thorn, Angus immediately deflected a few small meteorites and destroyed the bigger one while dragging Jayna. Sometimes, he will use [Beast Walk] to avoid the sizeable flaming meteorite.
Jayna also didn't want to be dragged down by Angus and keep up with Angus's speed using her movement skill. Unlike Angus, she only needed to follow Angus's path while deflecting a few small meteorites.
Under the pressure of life and death, Jayna finally gained some insight and perfected her movement skill [Fiery Burst]. Using her new skill, she could boost her speed multiple times in one moment, like an explosion.
Unlike Angus's strange footwork [Beast Walk] that focused on fluidity and speed, Jayna's movement skill is rigid but gives her more explosive acceleration. Furthermore, she also uses[Fiery Burst] multiple times to change direction.
Feeling that Jayna's managed to keep up with him, Angus increases his speed to avoid the incoming meteorite. Now, both of them could focus on dodging the meteorite without the need to destroy the enormous meteorite.
The [Meteorite Shower] keeps happening for dozens of minutes and sets vast fires in the original frozen forest.
After the meteorite stopped, both Angus and Jayna rested on the ground exhaustedly. Keep using movement skills for dozens of minutes while dodging the small meteorite exhausted Jayna both physically and mentally.
As for Angus, his condition is even worse than Jayna's. Not only he need to keep looking out for Jayna's safety, but he also needs to search for a safe route in the middle of a meteorite storm. He also needs to destroy some of the giant meteorites to open the path.
There are even a few burning marks all over his body. If it is not because of high endurance, Angus himself will already burn to death.
Looking at Angus's appearance, Jayna approaches him, "Angus…" said Jayna.
But Angus stopped Jayna, "Haa.. Ha.. We need to keep moving. Haa.. We are still not safe yet." said Angus while forcing his wounded body to stand.
'The hell with this dimension, each of the movements of the colossal beast is enough to create a disaster. I hope everyone still survives that crazy attack.' thought Angus while searching for a place to rest using his [Great Mana Echolocation].
Fortunately, they manage to move quite far away from the confrontation between the beast and Icetooth monster horde.
Running for a few minutes with their last stamina, they finally found an abandoned hidden cave.
"Haa... Haa... Let's rest here." said Angus as he tried to calm his rough breathing.
Jayna's condition also didn't look any better than Angus's. The sole reason she could keep up till now and not fall unconscious is because of her sheer willpower. She is already exhausted both physically, mentally and on the brink of mana deficiency.
Angus checks the cave with [Mana Echolocation] and finds it relatively safe. Angus set up a magic barrier in the cave entrance to camouflage and give a minor illusion towards others using the tools he prepared before.
Angus tells Draven to keep up guard towards the surroundings. Then, he hugged Jayna, who had already fallen asleep the moment she sat inside the cave. Soon, Angus also fell asleep as he also reached his limit.
After a few hours of sleep, Angus finally wakes up and sees that Jayna uses his body as a body pillow. He couldn't help but smile, looking at Jayna's peaceful sleeping face.
Angus also could feel his small wound and pain already fully healed. Furthermore, his stamina was also rejuvenated. This shows how ridiculous the effect of his high vitality is.
'If forty-three-point vitality has this magical effect, how about if I have one hundred or more in the future. Didn't that make me invincible?' thought Angus inwardly.
After brushing this thought, "Draven, is there anything wrong during my sleep?" asked Angus telepathically. Although he also kept alert during his sleep, he still couldn't observe the surrounding place.
"Besides the sound of battle that happens far away and a few beasts that pass by, there is nothing important." replied Draven inside Angus's mind.
"Alright, keep vigilance." said Angus as he closed his eyes, meditating to regenerate his mana.
