Chapter 439: Changes In The Magical Beasts’ Forest II

Boom! Bam!

The lizard continued attacking Grey. It couldn’t really be counted as a fight since it was a one-sided trouncing. The space element could do so much, and due to him not having a high mastery of the element, he isn’t able to cover a large area.

Bang!

Grey crashed through a tree, breaking it in half.

His body was sore from the attacks of the lizard, and even after trying to escape, the lizard continued chasing after him relentlessly.

‘I’ll have to take it to the area occupied by another Overlord Plane beast or else I’m doomed.’ Grey soon gave up on trying to escape since he knew it was futile.

What was worse was that he couldn’t get into the Fusion State since he would need to be undisturbed for at least a minute or so.

‘If only Void were here, then I wouldn’t have to worry about who would distract this lizard.’ He shook his head in anger as he followed the path he recalled there being an Overlord Plane beast.

He was running hastily while also using the space element to dodge some of the attacks of the lizard.

He had tried attacking it with inscriptions that he made during the start of the battle, but the lizard’s scales were stronger than all his defenses combined. None of his attacks could even leave a scratch on it, well, except for the darkness element.

Due to the highly corrosive property of the darkness element, it can at least cause the lizard a little bit of damage. This has been the only thing that he had been able to use to at least delay the lizard for a few seconds so he could escape from some situations.

The lizard would always try to dodge all his darkness element attacks while tanking the rest of them.

He was starting to get exhausted from the constant use of the space element, and it was starting to take its toll on him. If things were to continue in this fashion, then he would be caught by the lizard.

‘Ellis,’

The young man with a feminine voice suddenly came to mind when he realized how dire his situation was.

Taking out the wooden plaque, his expression turned sour when he saw the distance between them. If Ellis were to start flying towards him even at his maximum speed, it would still take him at the very least, three hours. There was no way he could survive that long.

‘Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!’ He complained before bolting towards where the last Overlord Plane beast he sensed was located.

He was currently betting everything on this beast while also taking a huge risk. If the second Overlord Plane beast were to join this lizard in attacking him, then he was done for. But since such co-operations were rare among beasts, he was hoping these two would fight it out as soon as they sensed each other.

While running there, Grey noticed something that almost made him change his mind. There were multiple corpses on the way, from the wounds on their body, it was evident that they were inflicted by a beast with sharp claws.

Boom! Crash!

Grey was caught by an attack from the beast once again, crashing forward. But he used the momentum to gain some more distance from the lizard.

Blood was already starting to drip from the side of his mouth which indicated that he had sustained some internal injuries from the multiple attacks of the lizard.

‘It shouldn’t be fa…’

Boom!

Grey’s thoughts were disrupted by the explosion that sounded out in front of him.

The sound seemed to be coming from a few hundred meters away, but it was very clear to him.

Without even thinking, he charged towards where the sound came from.

If it were people who were fighting, then he would try to use them to distract the lizard while he escaped. If it’s a magical beast, then it would be better.

He would feel a little guilty if he were to use people to escape from the lizard since he didn’t know if the people were good or bad, nor did he know if they had families waiting for them outside the Magical Beasts’ forest.

Boom! Bam!

The lizard behind him continued attacking wildly, luckily, he dodged this attack with the space element.

But with the continuous usage of the space element, he was getting more exhausted.

It didn’t take up to a minute before he got to where the sound was coming from. In front of him were three people who were covered in blood, opposite them was a huge ash cat.

The cat stood at around three meters tall with a length of almost six meters.

‘Wow! That’s big!’ He exclaimed on seeing the size of the cat.

Growl!

The cat turned its attention to him as soon as he appeared, to the relief of the trio who were almost on the verge of death.

It suddenly pounced towards Grey. At the same moment it pounced at him, the lizard appeared and attacked Grey as well.

Mustering the little bit of essence he had left of his space element, he vanished.

Boom! Bang!

The cat was sent flying by the attack of the lizard since it bore the brunt force of the attack.

“Run!”

Grey appeared almost twenty meters away, sparkling with red lightning, he bolted for safety.

Even though he told the trio to run, he didn’t even glance at them while he was escaping. It was none of his business if they ran or not, what mattered to him was that the lizard might be stopped by the cat. He didn’t even turn to look at the outcome of the collision between both beasts.

The trio didn’t stand any further and took off in another direction.

The lizard which was about to continue chasing after Grey was stopped by the enraged cat.

Boom! Bam!

They soon started battling against each other, just as Grey hoped.

But, the fight didn’t last as long as he thought.
