172 172: Beast Tide 2

A series of roars echoed from the forest, growing louder as the Beast Tide drew closer.

Val turned his gaze towards the origin of the noise, as did the others around him.

A sight of destruction met their eyes as countless trees toppled over, making way for an onrush of beast-type dungeon monsters swarming out from the depth of the forest.

The beasts' eyes shone with an intense bloodlust upon spotting the humans. It was as if they had sighted their natural enemies.

Without wasting a second, the monsters moved forward on all fours, churning up clouds of dust as they charged straight towards the humans and the city they were protecting. 

"The Beast Tide has arrived," someone muttered, casting a grim gaze over the ocean of beasts.

"Damn, there are too many of them. The dungeon break must be at least of danger level 3," another chimed in.

"Their numbers are significantly greater than ours. This fight... It seems unwinnable!"
