Depending On My Teammates
Axel's PoV:
Now that I had made up my mind, I'll retreat for now and I will think of a way to defeat the high-level monsters.
Although creating multiple shadow clones to confuse the high-level monsters would be a waste of mana, I could still use two shadow clones to divert the high-level monsters.
One of the shadow clones would be used to go towards the boundary located in the Monster's Abode.
The other shadow clone would be used to go towards the opposite direction of the cave that I'm seeking shelter at while I would use that chance to go towards the cave.
The high-level monsters would likely be split apart into three groups since my shadow clones and I will go in three directions.
Although there would still be a third of the high-level monsters to pursue me, at least it would reduce the number of high-level monsters that I'm going to be up against.
But, I can't head towards the cave first. Why?
