BOOM!
With an intense stomp, Mikhail planted his feet to the ground.
However, unlike what he expected, the rock of the mountain held stable. It seemed far stronger than the rocky ground of the tribe…
SCRRRRR!
The leather soles of his caligae scraped against the ground harshly, and then…
SNAP!
They were broken apart by the force.
Mikhail's bare feet bore the intense friction an instant later, creating a bloody streak across the ground. It stung badly, but he didn't want Sharyl to get severely injured. Not when they were so close to their goal.
As he grit his teeth to endure the pain, a sense of fear flared out from the path ahead of him.
But, in the face of that fear, Mikhail courageously held on anyway.
BOOM!
Thankfully, due to his efforts, Sharyl managed to dash to the side, avoiding the Chasmosaur's charge. And as a result, the beast and Mikhail slammed into one of the rocky walls surrounding the clearing.
