It was the era of mutated animals and Kyran had forgotten about that for a second.
He forgot that other than Lord class Order Beasts or higher, the others were basically hiding, fearful of pulling the attention of other Order Beasts, in the area. Even though the number of Order Beasts has increased exponentially, there are only a few Lords.
And even fewer for Rulers.
So a lot of Order Beasts are keeping a low profile until reaching considerable strength.
As the law of the jungle, the strong survives.
Kyran and the others had no knowledge of how the Order Beasts cultivated their strength as this all was still new—but the likelihood of them growing stronger, by devouring one another, seemed high.
Had it not for that, the Knights wouldn't assume this passive behavior.
Now that belief solidified when Kyran witnessed yet another Order Beast join the fray.
"Holy shit!!"
