"Never mind Jeremiah are you done?" He asked but before Jeremiah could answer a howl made the boy tremble.
"Argh!"
The strength alone of the howl made Apollo and Bulan kneel. The air tightened and Apollo gasped for air. The howl made his body shake his instincts telling him to run.
Every lower-level beast inside the outer and inner layers of the forest felt the pressure of howl making them cower in fear.
[Run Creator!]
Jeremiah's voice rang in Apollo's head and immediately he ordered Bulan to take him out of the forest.
From afar you can see birds and other magical beasts fleeing against something. Due to their size and number, the dust began to cover the surroundings blocking the view of the forest. Whereas some trees weren't able to survive from being stepped on by dozens of beasts.
A beast full of rage began running across the inner layer to the outside layer of the forest.
"What the hell is going on...I only killed seven why is he here already!"
Apollo grimaced while holding onto Bulan afraid that he might fall.
"Jeremiah is there a way to remove my scent?"
He frantically asked after he forgot to erase his scene when they took off.
[Creator doesn't need to worry as I already erased all of our traces]
"That's good to hear then"
He was about to feel relief when he felt a presence following them.
"Could it be!?"
The boy was quite frightened if push came to shove he might need to summon his mother's spirit which he didn't want to do. And that is why he bravely looked back and saw a horde of magical beasts trying to flee like him.
"Just what kind of trouble did I get myself into"
He could only say while trying to take out a scroll.
"Master please tighten your hold" Bulan reminded Apollo just nodded and tried to cast a spell instead.
"Enchant!"
Suddenly Bulan's body became lighter as his master Apollo cast an enchantment so he could run much faster.
"Just how far are we?"
[Near the boundary of the outer and outmost layer of the forest Creator]
Jeremiah answered then Apollo felt even more nervous as he saw how other magical beasts outrun them.
"Jeremiah tell me how many points did you get?"
[Currently, I am in the process of converting and thus can't give you a proper answer]
"Damn it!..then can you absorb this from me?"
In his hand is a pouch filled with magic beast cores the ones he got from his grandpa Jer.
[I can but the absorption would take a while since converting and absorbing at the same time can cause some energy... would Creator still proceed?"]
"Yeah just do it!"
"Master I will be increasing my speed please hold on tight!"
"Alright!"
The little boy holds on his wolf's back wishing that he won't make a mistake such as attracting the attention of the alpha.
"GRRRR!!"
Unfortunately, luck wasn't on his side since they were outrun by some more faster beast the first thing the alpha ivory wolf saw was him.
"Not good!"
He suddenly wanted to call his mother's spirit when he saw the level of the alpha.

"We are doomed Bulan"
The alpha's body is covered with his mane-like ivory fur and a body that is at least two meters tall.
The alpha was way faster than any beast inside the outer layer and soon he was right behind Apollo and Bulan.
While his spirit wolf tried his best to outrun a ranked General beast Apollo already started casting.
"Jeremiah how about giving me good news"
Before Apollo could even hear Jeremiah reply, a powerful wind attack began to hit them fortunately he had set up a barrier in advance thus they were able to survive.
"That barrier has thirteen layers yet he broke easily!"
While agitated Bulan suddenly made a sudden turn surprising Apollo.
"Please hold on tight master" The boy nodded and tightened his grip however he began sneakily dropping capsule scrolls.
Capsule scrolls are scrolls sealed inside tiny capsules and will activated once the spell inside the scrolls is activated which is through Apollo's words.
Apollo wasn't mindlessly ordering his spirit to run he was trying to set up a trap. Hopefully, the berserk state of the alpha will help so that the traps won't be noticed.
"Hold on tight master!"
Suddenly Bulan sprang up right behind them is the jaw of the ivory wolf alpha.
"Enchant!"
Apollo adds a buff to Bulan increasing the spirit wolf's speed but the General rank beast is many times faster than them so he naturally catches up.
As the jaws near the body of the spirit wolf Apollo heard a voice.

"Jeremiah put the remaining points to increase my skills now!"
Apollo then waved his hand and a scroll came out of his hand becoming the only thing that separated between the boy and the alpha wolf.
"ACTIVATE!"
Ten magical scrolls glow and begin activating these scrolls contain a black magic called nigrum tentacula.
Black thick tentacles emerge from the ten scrolls Apollo spread out all aiming at a single being the Ivory wolf alpha.
This black magic aims to eat any life forms it sees specifically strong prey. The more powerful the prey the more they get attracted to it. And that is why Apollo specifically chose this spell to counter him then he heard Jeremiah's voice.

Light began to appear in his hand as he summoned another lightning spell.
"Thunderclap!"
Lightning struck the General rank alpha however Apollo knew it wasn't enough to injure him his damage reduction skill would block the attack he made.
What he wanted was to momentarily paralyse him by pulling huge amounts of bolts hopefully it worked cause if not then his last resort would be relying on his mother's spirit.
"Bulan!"
"On it master!"
Apollo's mana is down to ten which is a bit dangerous although his mana would only regenerate at 5 every minute.
"We have to get out of here!"
"Jeremiah where's the alpha!"
[Currently, he is still unable to move due to the tentacles binding him]
"Good!"
His eyes became a bit blurry but it was still okay although Bulan became much slower due to the fatigue.
"Don't worry Bulan we are about to get out of here"
And just like what he said the two were able to leave the forest nice and safe.
"Hoo...I wanna eat" he could only say as he looked at himself.
