After being swatted by the bear which caused him to Slam into a tree a brutaly bruise his arm. He had felt much worse so his reaction was minimal, Athel Quickly stood up as he glared at the bear they immediately entered a stand off but that was easily broken once the bear growled once again alerting Athel that he needed to attack
He immediately ran at the bear he seemed as if he was a blur but the bear could see him easily as da, despite him trying to attack the bear his efforts were futile no matter how he attacked the bear swatted at him every and forced his to dodge and abandon his offensive
This created an extremely annoying situation that made him even angrier
He quickly realized that his evasive attacks weren't working so he decided to charge the bear head on, his killing intent rose with every step which slightly frightened the bear but it's prideful instincts killed that fear and made it charge at the boy
But Athel was already running at it
The bear quickly stood up on its hind legs and swung at the boy while Athel dropped his sword as he quickly strengthened his legs and jumped under the bear before he punched it right in its stomach the blow was devastating which quickly and easily caused the bear to vomit food, blood, and feces while it also Peed itself simultaneously
But that wasn't the end of it, Athel quickly let out another punch at the same spot if it wasn't for it's fur A huge red bruise would be visible. the beer was in the mist of letting out a whimper but the punch caused all the air to get pushed out of his lungs as it quickly collapse all the ground due to the weakness that filled its body
Athel he was almost crushed by its body but he quickly zoomed away and watched a huge dust cloud spring up as the beer collapsed onto the floor it wasn't dead and it was still conscious
He walked over to its head in normal situation a beast would have had a pleading expression but bears were naturally prideful and this one continued to growl even until his fist plunged through its brain instantly killing it
Athel merely flinged the brains off of his fingers before he began to walk away he was covered in blood and knew that he would definitely get attacked by a bunch of beast if he didn't clean off this blood
There were multiple bodies of water in this forest so he quickly found one and he urgently scanned the area, he strolled around the water and made sure that he was slightly safe
He merely swam and floated in the water for about 30 minutes this was one of the only times in this forest that he had gotten to relax and he thoroughly enjoyed it
But he was still paranoid, he knew that he was extremely close to where the bear had died so he needed to get away fast before it's mother sniffed him out
He quickly put on his clothes and ran deeper into the forest like a madman he ran for two hours straight before he was able to feel slightly safe so he decided to take a break
It was more like he was slowly traveling deeper into the forest he hadn't actually stopped he had just stopped running but he was still walking while he ate some bitter berries and looked around curiously
Meanwhile
The group of kids were anxiously traveling around they felt as if death was dabbling around them at every corner and they were exactly right
Since they traveled in a group it made them very alluring to the monsters around, any predator would think that they could get an easy banquet, monsters could easily sense fear in every single one of them were excluding it in mass amounts
Pretty soon monsters had gathered around them causing them to stop moving and stand there and freight
After a couple seconds of silence the pounced
But the kids weren't as weak as they seemed they were able to fight back and show off some extremely flashy and some powerful techniques quickly cutting down a bunch of monsters and instilling fear in others around but prideful monsters were an abundant thing in this Forest
They hadn't traveled deep enough in order to get into anyone of the three great Territories but the monsters were still abundant and ready to eat
They still continued to pounce upon the students numbers were growing as the sound of battle spread it out quickly causing casualties to occur
Humans were naturally selfish and would always revert back to their natural selves to protect themselves and so they soon started to split up and run in their own separate directions not caring about anybody around them
Meanwhile
Elizabeth and Ruin were too busy at their base mentally preparing for the storm to come they heard the sounds of battle for from afar but they still decided to ignore it
Time passed smoothly hours went by and soon the storm had arrived as the solar nds of battle slowly dwindled
Rain fell and thunder cackled
The sky was covered by a dense cover of dark clouds that accompanied and ominous, deathly, energy packed aura to the land and frightened most beast And humans
Lightning soon fell destroying trees and killing beast and it didn't seem as if it was going to Stop anytime soon while thunder danced vigorously adding more fuel to the lightning as the minutes passed
Terror rose fast it was incredibly dangerous even when no thunder stroke beast growls grew louder and louder it was easy to tell that their instincts were yelling and propelling em to run and that what they would eventually do it definitely wouldn't take long before something devastating happens in the sky and on the ground
