Escape

Despite the apparent seriousness of the situation, Jake wasn't that far from the Shelter anymore. A few tens of kilometers at most and at his current speed it could be covered in less than two minutes.

His Aether stats were higher than ever, his Strength, Agility, Constitution and Vitality peaking at 250 points without showing any sign of dissipation. His Intelligence and Perception was close to 150 points while his Extrasensory Perception had just passed the 102-point mark.

In addition to the fact that his Aether stats had never been so high, his bracelet had accumulated nearly 14,500 Aether points during the long night battle to defend his life. His knees may have been in bad shape, but he had never been stronger.

That's why he wasn't too worried. These two Digestors were monsters that the current Jake had no chance of facing, but surviving them by running away was not a challenge beyond his reach. Though, only if he was alone.
