Ava's swift figure darted through the snow-covered trees, chased by the Ursus Glacialis. The colossal beast was unstoppable, barreling through the forest with terrifying disregard for the obstacles in its path. Every thunderous step and every enraged roar echoed through the desolate wilderness, a constant reminder of the mortal danger they faced.
Erik, Marcus, Garrett, and Alexia had kept a safe distance from the chase, trailing along the monster's path of destruction. They had to remain unseen by the beast as it pursued Ava, their presence a secret they couldn't afford to reveal.
The tension among them was palpable, every heart pounding in time with the beast's thunderous pace. Their hearts leaped into their throats whenever Ava narrowly avoided a lunging swipe of the Ursus Glacialis's monstrous paws or every time it threw ice spears at her. Each of Ava's daring maneuvers triggered a new wave of nervous anticipation, trapping their breaths in their chests.
Erik led the team, eyes scanning the area for signs of danger. Garrett strode alongside him, his calm demeanor a stark contrast to the wild energy of the chase. Alexia brought up the rear, her gaze never leaving Ava's figure, her every sense tuned into the chase's progress.
The snow-covered forest blurred as they raced alongside the beast's path, their progress obscured by the creature's destructive advance. The constant crunch of their boots against the snow echoed their growing fear. Their breaths became cloudy in the cold air, a testament to their exertion.
Erik, Ava, Marcus, Alexia, and Garrett finally led the Ursus Glacialis to the Lumisfalls, but that wasn't enough. The most dangerous part was yet to come.
A wave of relief washed over them as they gazed at the towering trees, luminous flora, and cascading waterfalls. The sight was breathtaking—a dazzling display of nature's grandeur that overshadowed their tiredness and aches.
They had the uncanny feeling of having stepped into another world, where reality stretched into a grander, more vibrant canvas, bathed in the soft glow of the luminescent plants and touched by the gentle light trickling through the dense canopy.
While the Ursus Glacialis pursued her, Ava fixed her gaze on the distant Frantian Military camp. The place was nestled among the sprawling, glowing undergrowth at the base of the Lumisfalls. Despite their exhaustion, they continued.
Alexia, who had taken up the rear for some time, stepped forward after traversing the labyrinth of the colossal trees and the radiant undergrowth. "We're getting close to the Frantian camp," she said, her voice high from exertion and her sharp gaze scanning their surroundings.
Erik turned to face the others, his expression hardening, his gaze meeting each of theirs. "Be ready," he warned them, his voice filled with an intensity befitting the gravity of their situation. "Soldiers could be around every corner."
Each group member nodded in agreement, their faces grim and determined. They checked their weapons in unison, the soft shuffling sounds and whispered confirmations creating a solemn symphony in the Lumisgrove's echoing silence.
The young man's gaze shifted to Ava, who was leading the beast toward the camp as The Ursus Glacialis continued to destroy everything in its path. This Thaid was a natural force, a beast of such size and power that it seemed to defy natural laws. Its size was mind-boggling; each stride was a tremor beneath the snow-covered ground, and each roar was a bone-shaking reverberation echoing across the landscape.
The Ursus Glacialis ripped through the glowing forest, destroying everything in its path. Towering trees that had stood for many winters were swept away like twigs, their branches shattered by the beast's powerful swipes.
The sound of cracking branches and the monstrous roars of the beast replaced the tranquility of the forest, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm Even the wildlife had fled in its wake, the smaller Thaids fleeing in terror while the larger ones stood back, a shared sense of dread visible in their vast, fearful eyes. The beast's presence was an anathema, a perversion of the natural order that turned predator into prey and terrified even the most hardy creatures.
Erik watched the woman and the monster. The mesmerizing beauty of the Lumisgrove faded into the background briefly as the entire group shifted its focus to the sprawling Frantian camp. At that point, they began to see the waterfall clearly and saw human silhouettes.
The Frantian soldiers' first glimpse of Ava was a blur in the distance, a flash of movement in the corner of their eyes. As she got closer, the tiny figure became more defined, and the men gasped as they saw what was following her. The Ursus Glacialis was hurtling towards their camp in all its terrifying glory.
The sentinel on duty sounded the alarm, his voice like a blade cutting through the air. "Incoming enemies!" he cried, his voice reverberating throughout the Frantian camp. A wave of tension rippled through the soldiers, followed by a quick, well-practiced response. The clang of unsheathed swords and the rattle of weapons being prepared filled the air.
The assault then began. A hail of arrows rained down from the sky, a swarm of steel aimed at Ava and the monstrous beast behind her. In the distance, the rhythmic roar of weapons echoed, the ground trembling under the force of their discharge. Ava kept moving, her body a graceful spectacle amid the chaos, while the others ran toward the Auburn Pine.
Ava pushed her mana to its limit in a burst of determination. A soft aura enveloped her as her speed increased, her movements blurring as she effortlessly glided through the terrain. It was as if time had warped around her, allowing her to outrun the Ursus Glacialis' relentless pursuit.
However, she was not yet out of danger. A group of Frantian soldiers broke away from their ranks, their armor gleaming as they pursued. At least some of them were the Frantian army's elite. Fueled by her mana and the will to survive, Ava outran them with apparent ease.
The remaining soldiers on the frontlines faced the oncoming Ursus Glacialis. The beast was a living nightmare, a horror of raw power and fury. But the soldiers stood firm, their weapons drawn and their resolve unwavering.
