Chapter 203: Monsters Appeared

"Keep running!"

"They are near!"

"I can't spot them anymore!"

"Release more tracking orbs… they will find them!"

In less than one minute the group of those pursuers just came to where Jim and others were hiding.

"Now!"

And Jim simply said before Lan extracted the energy off the orb in his hand and released it to him. He felt great power running through his body and the next moment his sword which was in position started to feel heavy.

"What's that light?"

"Go check it out!"

The lightning of Lan and the golden shining of Jim's body was instantly noticed. Jim wasn't worried though, as he knew he was ready.

"Kill them!" he darted off his hiding spot and landed the next moment in front of two shocked disciples.

And the next moment he didn't give them any chance to retaliate as he hit their necks with his sword.

"Kill them all!"

As he glanced around he found the group wasn't that small as he guessed. Fifty disciples were there and they all seemed to come from the outer disciples.

Yet his group was roughly equal in number, and he didn't let his exhausted team fight alone.

"Swoosh!"

Using his high speed he started to jump like lightning from one place to another. His lightning sword was so deadly and his orb of lightning was so strong to defend any kind of attack landing over him.

It was simply a massacre, one that didn't take longer than a few minutes to end.

"Take all their rings, gears, and weapons," he shouted before checking if there were any losses on his side.

And luckily using the surprise element of the ambush he laid, aided with the fact that both sides were roughly equal in number and strength, his team didn't suffer much losses here.

Only superficial wounds that could be ignored for now were present on some members of his team.

"Move," he urged as he didn't know if the other two teams were pursuing them or not. "Don't go astray," he warned before starting to run alongside others.

"Hahaha, this time they lost it big," Lan laughed and Jim could only glance at him and say nothing.

From all the members here he doubted Lan to kill any of these enemies, yet he was the first to celebrate as if he just did something heroic.

"Fifty disciples here meant they lost almost half of their numbers," Rick said, "but that doesn't mean they aren't dangerous anymore."

"The second grade disciples group isn't risky," Deno said, "the other one is."

"Screw that chimera," Kro gritted his teeth, "I don't believe their fire can sustain our water."

"We don't need to test that," Jim said, "there are only a few left of them, plus their leader is heavily wounded."

"They will cure him fast," Saga suddenly said, "there are many healing potions, ointments, and pills in this world that they can easily afford."

Jim didn't speak while noticing the face of Rick, Kro, and Roo changed for a moment.

"Roar!"

Just as they ran for ten minutes off the place of that fight, a sudden roar came from the front startling them.

"Monsters!" Lan screamed in panic, "they are already here?" he turned to the nearby Jim, "do you need any lightning?"

"Where did you get all of this?" Jim couldn't help but ask.

"From Rana of course," Lan said it as if it was a known fact, "c'mon, let me give you some lightning and go screw that monster."

Just after he finished his words, more roars appeared.

"We… are surrounded!" and his face went instantly pale when he heard these roars.

"At least a group of ten monsters are surrounding us," Rick said, "we need to be ready to fight."

"No," Jim firmly said, "we are too close to those bastards. We need to keep running."

"But…" Deno was about to complain yet Jim nodded to Lan who gave him his lightning.

"I'll take all the toll this time, just keep running forward and never look back," Jim said before closing up his eyes and thinking of his pet.

"Come forth," he deeply muttered and the next moment the small sized Don appeared.

The moment it came out, it didn't jump all over the place like usual or rub its body to Jim; it stood vigilantly in place while slowly roaring.

'The monsters are of a high grade,' the old man warned, 'be sure to keep everyone running or else you won't be able to keep all of them safe.'

Jim clenched the hilt of his sword before pointing it to the position of his spell. "No problem, I will deal with those stopping us," he said before turning to Don, "keep yourself close, this is going to be a hard fight."

He suddenly stopped and Don moved fast to stop beside him. One human and one little monster stood in the back while the dark forest around started to look more gloomy.

"Can you lead me to them?" Jim asked and Don only roared faintly before turning towards one direction and darted towards it.

Jim didn't hesitate to follow suit. The speed of his pet wasn't that low, yet he could keep up with him without much struggle.

"There you are."

Just as they crossed a distance of two hundred meters, a giant behemoth stood there. In this dark night Jim couldn't perfectly see the details of that monster but he felt it was like a giant bull with spikes all over its body.

And he could see clearly a long tail moving like a whip right and left, hanging midair in a threatening way.

But the more threatening thing here wasn't the tail, but these four big rounded blue eyes that monster had.

"They look quite intimidating!" Jim couldn't help but comment when he noticed the four eyes flashing in the darkness of the night.

"Roar!" the monster roared when it noticed its prey was trying to hunt it down. Seemingly enraged by this, the monster started to hook its hooves over the ground, preparing to dart fast towards Jim.
