They were able to reach faster because they were able to regain a certain amount of energy after confronting Ariella, unlike the other five, who were Gresham Foster's underlings and were still on the ground a few meters away, struggling from the beating they received from Ariella, baton whipping,

These were the words that Grandpa Tang taught Guan Yu, Ramiel, and now Ariella, who eagerly listened as Grandpa Tang shared the ancient wisdom passed down through generations. The stories came alive as he described the valor and honor embodied by Guan Yu, inspiring Ariella to embrace these virtues in her own life. With each word, Grandpa Tang's legacy continued to shape the hearts of his descendants, leaving an indelible mark on their family's history.
While this was happening, Ramiel's heart rate began to fluctuate as if he too was excited to bear witness to her sister's awakening. This only happens when Ramiel in the other realm is sleeping and is inside the dreaming world, a feeling that he cannot explain as if something important is about to happen. Even in his sleeping state, the connection between his consciousness and his soul was strong enough to break a small gap in both worlds.
allowing him to sense the impending awakening of his sister. As the gap between the realms widened, his dreams became filled with glimpses of his little sister's journey, as if their souls were intertwined in a cosmic dance of destiny. The anticipation grew, for he knew that their reunion would mark the beginning of a new chapter in their intertwined lives. The bond between them had always been unbreakable, and he could feel the surge of emotions building within him as he prepared to finally see his sister again. As if watching a movie, she was on earth, facing a creature that came from the realm he was in now.
Ariella ran toward the beast and griped her hand at the baton, she planned to create a diversion so the smaller offspring would attack her instead of Gresham who already lost consciousness due to the lack of blood, the remaining five were too scared to even move,
she knows that the baton she was holding a made of mediocre material, hurting a supernatural creature with this was just like throwing crumpled paper on it, she needed a better weapon and at the same time dragged Gresham's wounded body, screaming at the other five would be pointless,
The sudden shock made their muscles tense and they were completely helpless,
luckily they were a few meters away from the old store where this thing came from, the bigger one was still busy stripping the flesh in Gresham's arm, this was a sight that made the others wet their pants as they vomited and lose consciousness,
she was twirling the baton and calling out to the tree smaller beast, she was running in different motions but making sure her eyes were fixed on the small creatures including its mother, Ariella heard that dimensional creatures differ in all characteristics, from speed, strength and durability, fighting it head on was dangerous, normal sever year old girls would have screamed hysterically but she was showing her strong will to save Gresham, even if he was a pain in the neck, as soon the three smaller dogs like creatures started to notice her action, she was able to see a perfect and suitable weapon, a old pruning shear was left on an old flower pot,
It was light and small enough for her to hold and use; it might be old and a little rusty, but it was much better than an aluminum twirling baton. As soon as the three creatures were far enough from the unconscious and bleeding Gresham, she gave out a hand gesture with her free hand. as if she were gesturing in thin air, but she was well aware that her action was valid and important.
At that age, she already understood the mindset of her family clan. and knows very well that she has secret bodyguards hiding within the shadows and constantly reporting to her parents, keeping them informed of her whereabouts and ensuring her safety. This hand gesture was a signal to order those hidden protectors to do what they needed to do. In an instant, a few dark figures swiftly came and took Gresham and his unconscious friends. This action was felt by the mother, who saw this as an attempt to hurt her offspring, prompting her to spring into attacking and protecting its own,
It growled, and its eyes became redder. It snarled, its instincts taking over as it lunged forward with ferocity. Its powerful muscles tensed, ready to defend its territory and unleash its full strength upon the intruders. and because Ariella was the only person there it bared its fangs toward her, she was scared and understood that this was a natural response from the mother protecting her young. She remained calm and slowly backed away, giving the mother space to defend her offspring without feeling threatened herself, and just slowly walked backwards near the pruning shears. soon she was standing right beside it she slowly leaned down, but never took her eyes off the monster, and grabbed the rusty shears,
The moment she stood up the beast ran toward her, but she quickly swung the pruning shears in its direction, causing it to veer off course. With adrenaline coursing through her veins, she mustered all her strength and swung the shears again, this time connecting with the creature's side. The impact startled it, giving her a brief moment to assess her surroundings and plan her next move.
she stood her ground and held the shears firmly, ready to defend herself if necessary. As the creature regained its composure, it let out a menacing growl and charged at her once more. With a steady hand, she aimed for its vulnerable spots, hoping to weaken it further. The rusty shears glinted in the setting sunlight as she prepared for another intense clash with the relentless beast.
