Kyle’s heart was still racing.
He had come extremely close to death just now.
If the three of them actually attacked him, he would die.
Luckily, he managed to intimidate them enough.
While retreating, Kyle fed the metallic hide to his hammer, making it harder and heavier.
’These things are terrifying,’ Kyle thought. ’But they’re also delicious!’
He took another bite of the succulent meat.
By now, his Ether had fully restored, and his injuries had healed.
He finished the corpse in about two minutes and continued walking.
The velociraptor things kept watching Kyle from a distance, but they didn’t chase.
Slowly, Kyle calmed down.
"How strong were they?" he asked.
"Peak Beasts," Theodor answered. "You can kill one of them, but not several at once."
"I noticed," Kyle commented.
Kyle was only a Late Human, and these things perfectly countered his style of fighting.
He didn’t want to fight these things again.
For the next couple of minutes, Kyle carefully edged his way forward along the walls of the canyon.
At one point, he saw a gigantic beast jump from one side of the canyon to the other, and he immediately hid behind his sheet of iron.
Whatever that thing was felt far too dangerous to Kyle.
’Why does there have to be danger around every fucking corner!’ Kyle thought.
’I’ve barely moved three miles from the Cradle, and I was in life-threatening danger how many times already?!’
’How am I supposed to survive 300 miles of that?!’
’I wish I could go back to the Cradle. I don’t like the outside world.’
Then, he remembered the guards.
’But that’s not an option either! Fucking fantasy land!’
’Humans give me shit in the Cradles, and beasts give me shit outside of the Cradles!’
’I just want to go south in peace! Is that too much to ask?!’
His instincts screamed at him suddenly, and he jumped back.
’Fuck you, fantasy land!’ he thought.
BOOOM!
A round stone that was almost ten meters long fell from the wall and landed on the exact spot where Kyle had just been.
’Now, even the fucking ground wants to kill me!’ he thought in annoyance.
But then, two tiny eyes appeared on one end of the round stone.
The next moment, the round stone stood up, and Kyle could see four thick legs.
’What the fuck is it this time?!’
The beast in front of Kyle had a shell like a woodlouse, but instead of having a bunch of legs, it only had four.
In a way, it also looked like a pangolin but even more armored.
Theodor didn’t say anything.
That either meant that Kyle was not in danger or that Kyle couldn’t be saved anymore.
When the beast saw that Kyle avoided its ambush, it stood up and charged at him.
Its acceleration was slow, but this thing was huge and looked heavy as fuck!
’It’s like an armored rhinoceros without the horn!’
Kyle held his hammer tightly.
He gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes in hatred.
’I’ve had it with these motherfucking beasts!’
Kyle’s entire body bulged.
