" what the hell is happening ? How did those monsters get here? Don't tell me ! Did they keep digging the rocks without stopping until they got here? "
Rael felt a shiver down his spine upon realizing who these monsters got here .
" How will I kill them? Last time I isolated them in small groups and killed them slowly, I'm afraid this time it won't work "
Rael throw an explosive fireball to the roof and backed up while thinking of a way to escape as this was the only way to get more time .
Fighting against the monsters will only lead to exhausting his soul faster .
" this primal chaos is really terrifying. Considering Draco's strength, the materials from which his magic book was made must be some of the best out there,
but even so, it has been corroded, which means that at least thousands of years have passed since it attacked the plane, and yet it can still send thousands of monsters after me just because I took a book . "
" wait I may find a spell that can help me in the book "
Rael started carefully reading the magical book in his hands as it may be the key to his survival .
After 1 hour Rael found what he needed.
[ Flame transformation ]
a spell that can turn the caster into the fire. Without any vital signs even if a scouting skill was cast on him it may not detect him let alone some brainless monsters .it was a very good spell to hide and avoid being tracked .
The only problem is he needed to do the same thing he did to the note with the spell and after that, he needed time to learn and practice it but the spell text was much longer than the note. Even though the rocks trap can get him a good amount of time he wasn't sure about making it in time .
Even with his doubts, it didn't take him even seconds to go with this plan as he learned from the war that the more time he waste the less his chances of surviving are .
He sat down and started . After half an hour the rocks began to shake violently. He got up and after a few seconds later the monsters started to break through. he sent another explosive fireball and again blocked the path. As he did that he sat again .
Time passed and the minutes turned into hours when Rael was halfway through learning the spell the rocks started to shake violently again surprising Rael .
In the previous hours, this had happened over and over again, but what surprised Rael this time was that only a few minutes had passed since the path was closed.
" What happened? Are the rocks becoming weaker in this area? No, there must be no other reason. Could the monsters get reinforcements? "
Rael felt a shiver down his spine after this conclusion . If the monsters really got reinforcements that mean the already short time he got will become shorter .
Rael waited there wanting to see the reason why the monsters became faster this time .
After a few other seconds, a monster passed through. a giant boar with a frightening aura around his body looked at him directly in the eyes after that he let out a scream and charged towards him
After sensing the boar's aura Rael immediately throw two explosive fireball one to the monster and the other to the roof .
" I didn't expect the appearance of a peak apprentice. this battle is getting more and more dangerous. "
Real sent another two fireballs to make it even harder to break through but that put more pressure on his soul.
A few hours later .
Rael now was near the blocked entrance his face was all sweaty and he was breathing heavily. Signs of exhaustion of the soul. He had almost finished learning flame Transformation.
A few minutes was all he needed, but it seemed that luck was not on his side as the rocks blocking the swarm of monsters started to vibrate violently again it will probably take one minute or less to break through it .
" This is not gonna work out I need another plan and I need it quickly "
Ryle began to think about all the possibilities in his mind, but they all ended with his death. Despite all the plans he thought of, his fate remained unchanged.
After encountering an unmovable wall in front of him, Rael began to change his way of thinking and began to simulate higher-risk plans in his mind .
After more seconds a crazy plan began to form in his mind .
" Well that's applicable if you thought of it theoretically but any mistakes and I will end up as a dead body . But it's not like I have a lot of options here, either. I will just proceed with this plan "
With the decision taken Rael cast an explosive fireball into the cave side opening a three-meter-deep hole.
After that Rael sent another explosive fireball to the entrance . veins began to appear on Rael's face as his soul was reaching its limits.
unfortunately, the rocks remained unmoved for a few seconds and Rael didn't get the reaction he wanted. but after around half a minute it also began to shake.
when Rael saw this he went to the hole he opened on the side and waited patiently. when the two sides were about to go through the rocks he took out his dagger and stabbed it directly into his heart opening a hole in his chest.
In reaction, blood began to flow like crazy from the hole, and Rael, who was already exhausted, began to feel his vision darkening and that he would soon pass out.
" Now I just need to weaken my recovering ability so that I don't fully recover and I don't die directly I will just look like a dead body but I will be barely alive. If everything goes according to plan, the monsters that lost their target should attack with the first thing they see, which are the two giant snakes. Considering their strength, it should end up self-destructing, and when that happens, I'll be able to escape " Thought Rael
After that, he began to modify little by little his recovering ability. Even though it was a bit hard it also felt like something instinctive . After a few seconds when Rael felt like he reached his goal, he relaxed his mind and allowed himself to pass out .
_____________
After an unknown time, inside the cave
Rael felt himself regaining consciousness. He still felt a bit dizzy. His vision was blurry at first, but gradually became clearer. The moment he regained his consciousness completely an immense amount of pain attacked his mind .
But despite that, Rael did not turn to his body to check his injuries, but the first thing he did was look around him to see how his plan had gone.
He was met with the monsters' corpses that were either crushed or looked as if they had been burnt
by some poison. their numbers were in the hundreds.
The walls of the cave were covered in blood and the heads or the limbs of the monsters could be easily seen thrown here or there .
The snakes and the boar were nowhere to be seen.
After seeing that Rael felt relieved .
" Looks like my gamble paid off this time. Well at least partially I still need to get my body checked "
With that in mind, Real returned his gaze and start checking his injuries. The hole in his chest had closed but left behind a large scar. The bones in his hand were broken, as were the bones in his leg and many bones in his body.
He also felt many light injuries on his face. But the biggest wound was the claws scar that covered his entire chest .
" Well it seems that my regenerative ability didn't let me down this time but I really need some blood and a good rest my stomach feels like it has a black hole in it "
Rael took out many blood bottles and he started drinking them. After drinking around 5 liters the black hole in his stomach finally filled up .
The half-recovered injuries continued to recover at an even faster pace. After that Rael stood up and went outside to go and get a good rest .
But when he took his first steps out of the cave, Rael felt goosebumps at the scene before him .
" So you've been here this whole time "
The snakes and the boar were laying outside .
One of the snakes was wrapped around the boar, slowly squeezing him while the other - the female to be exact- was laying not far from them , she had many wounds on her body and she was probably resting .
While the male snake had many wounds himself they didn't look very dangerous.
The boar on the other hand was in terrible condition
he was covered in signs of corrosion and burns probably because of the snake's poison he had two broken legs and he had many wounds all around his body .
Upon seeing this situation an idea popped into Rael's mind
" Should I take advantage of this situation ? I will probably get very good enhancements for killing three peak apprentice monsters. maybe even more than the last enhancements "
But after thinking about this idea for some time Rael decided to just retreat to his cave .
Even though he wanted to kill them he wasn't in a good condition for that . His soul was still exhausted and his body was all fucked up. And even though the monsters were all injured a peak apprentice monster was not a force to be taken lightly .
Allowing his greed to take the best of him, in this case, would only lead to his death.
With these thoughts in mind, he started backing up. After around two hours of running, he returned to his cave .
Even though Rael didn't stay for a long period in this new house he felt very relieved to return to a place where he could sleep safely .
He took out the bed from his ring and directly fall asleep
