Kyle clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He realized his pace had slowed because his body was tired.
In that very moment, several manaless beasts stamped their bodies on the ground before launching themselves towards Kyle, aiming to crush him under their weight.
He quickly leaped in a different direction, causing his body to tumble down towards the mountain's base once more.
A sharp gasp escaped his mouth as he crossed his arms to protect his head before, with a sudden burst of strength, he kicked a nearby rock to jump in mid-air, only to land on the ground in the midst of the beasts again.
This time, his way was blocked, with numerous beasts stationed on the path leading to the mountain's top.
Kyle let out an angry laugh, a vein throbbing on his forehead as he stared at the many monsters surrounding him.
