Atlas dashed back into the forest, readying his weapons as the foilage around him grew thicker. Soon, a Drop Bear tried to fall on him from above, and it let out a growl, which made him jump.
It was sudden, but he sidestepped the creature and slashed across its body before casting Void Blast at it. The explosion rocked the monster, sending it skidding across the ground as it bellowed in pain.
He dashed forward and cast a Void Arrow into the Drop Bear's skull, causing it to explode into blood and bone, 'Now to loot the core,' Atlas mused with a smile as his loot goblin activated.
After that, he collected the Monster Core before hunting for creatures around the cave where the scouts were recovering. Soon, Atlas encountered more Yara-ma-yha-who's, who tried to ambush him from the surrounding foilage as he entered a dark valley.
'I'm starting to hate these creepy frog monsters,' he complained.
