"Hcuaaaack... ack, what... was that...?"
"Haaahaah... ahhh... I almost didn't make it in time."
At that moment, in the middle of a dark forest full of fog, three people appeared.
It was Oryx, who had managed, at the last instant, to grab Noha and Mitrass and teleport away from that destructive attack.
All three looked shocked, each in their own way.
Even Mitrass. He understood that the situation could become dangerous because of his ability, but something so abrupt and of that magnitude was beyond any logical reasoning for him.
He did not understand what kind of being it was that he had encountered.
"She… it… whatever it was… was still in the sixth metamorphosis. But when she inserted the core, my skill could no longer understand her, and her rank seemed to skyrocket. Something of this level can only be a blessing; a blessing that somehow helps her use beast core as a source of mana."
