Running in a place like the Dry Swamp was definitely not a good thing, both because of the mud and because of the possibility of attracting the attention of a large amount of monsters.
Still, Kaito and Edward ran as fast as they could across the uneven terrain, not thinking about anything else. The sticky mud hindered their movements and they had to be careful not to slip. With each step, their bodies jerked with the effort, and every time they thought to slow down or look back, the menacing roar of the Asmoth's Crocodile echoed from behind them.
Edward's heart beat fast in his chest, knowing that any falter could be fatal. Then, the expression on his face was none other than sheer dread. Still, he dared to look back for a moment and so saw the huge crocodile coming closer and closer, destroying everything like a record of destruction.
