Run... Exposure

When Alex saw that his attacks didn't cause much damage to the beasts, he decided to leave them alone and run away. There was nothing he could do to them. They were simply way above his level. And since he was using a speed-related physique, he hoped that he could outrun them; since he had evoked a Saint-rank physique while the beasts were at the Great Saint rank and above. So he wasn't sure if he could outrun them. But he decided to try. All he needed to do was to get to the depth, to where he might enter a portal that would teleport him to the legacy ground. Therefore, maybe when he gets there, the beasts might leave him alone and wait for him to come out. So he felt.

Without giving the beasts a slight hint of what he wanted to do next, he suddenly upturned his body in the water and tried dashing to the far depth of the lake at a great speed.
