A few members of the group felt tense, worried that they won't be able to make it out alive from this situation.

"You guys can get out of here unharmed. Just go away," Vincent said out loud, telling all of them to leave him and head towards the waterfall.

"What do you mean?" Peter asked, a bewildered expression on his face.

"They are only after me," Vincent said, hurriedly explaining to them that he was the only one tagged with the tracing curse. So to say, he is the only one on the beast's hunting list.

"No way," Leila said, standing close to him, expressing her choice clearly. "I don't know about the others, but I won't leave you behind to face them on your own."

Vincent shook his head, telling her that he isn't foolish enough to sacrifice himself and that he got a plan to make it out of this situation alive.

"Since she is staying behind, I too am going to stay here," Peter said, expressing his desires to face this dangerous its toon along with them. Iris and Nevis also held the same opinion for some reason.

"I have a sure plan to get out of this situation unharmed! So, please listen to me and go away!" Vincent shouted out loud, rolling his eyes at this incredulous situation.

"No! We will fight the beasts together!"

Vincent's teammate said, making him go nuts.

Can't they understand what he is trying to say?

Are they slow in the head?

Just what the hell is wrong with them!

Simply inconceivable!

Vincent felt defeated once he found out that his words were just falling on deaf ears.

It was at this moment that a powerful voice boomed out from the side, assisting him in the best way possible.

"Don't just stand there and leave! Several of these beasts are in the early stages of the demonic realm! You all will just end up being a burden from him! So stop throwing a tantrum and make a goddamn run for your life!" Varth shouted at the top of his lungs, forcing them to think about this situation rationally. He didn't give them time to think twice about it before stepping towards the waterfall valley, wishing Vincent the best of luck in his heart.

His words lingered in their hearts, making them think things through in a matter of moments, and eventually, rationality curbed their emotions.

They turned around after saying a few words to Vincent, stepping away from him as fast as they can.

Vincent thanked Varth in his heart, giving him an imaginary thumbs up. But his attention quickly shifted to Leila, who was adamant about staying by his side.

"I promise I will get out of this situation unharmed and meet up with you behind the waterfall. Trust me on this! Now, please go!" Vincent said to Leila while dashing towards the beasts.

Leila shook her head, thinking that there is no way she is going to leave him alone here, planning to fight the beasts alongside him.

Suddenly, she felt someone tugging her arm, pulling her further away from Vincent.

"Let's go! These beasts are way out of our league." Peter said, dragging his sister out of harm's reach. Iris and Nevis followed in tow, unable to hide the regretful look on their faces. They knew of their own weakness, knowing full well that they would only be burdens if they stayed to help. After all, they have no chance of winning a fight against even a single beast in the demonic realm.

"I will search the entire Spider Kingdom if you don't meet up with us behind the waterfall by tonight!" Leila exclaimed while looking at him.

"I promise I will," Vincent muttered under his breath as he hurled spears made out of the solidification of his blood towards the beasts.

Whoosh

Whoosh

Whoosh

The spear blasted towards the beasts, smashing into a lot of them, killing a few on the spot and injuring the rest. Yet, several dozens of them still ran towards Vincent, branding their jaws towards him.

The very next instant, Vincent and a lot of beasts clashed a few dozen times before he jumped backwards, running into the thick grasses to hide himself from their scrutinizing gaze.

He planned to use that time to catch his breath and regenerate his stamina.

The Phantom Tracers, however, weren't friendly enough to give him what he wants. They used their sense of smell to smell him out and chased after him at full speed, crossing several meters in the blink of an eye.

WHOOSH

Suddenly, out of nowhere, several glowing yellow magic scrolls shot towards them, latching upon their faces. Waves of flames burst out of the Fire Magic Scroll, exploding their faces and setting the beasts nearby them on fire!

‹ You've killed seventeen beasts in the early to the peak levels of the magical realm ›

‹ 700 experience points obtained ›

‹ You've gained the ire of the Spider Kingdom ›

‹ Now, the Phantom Tracers will do everything to kill you ›

"Bring it on!" Vincent said at the top of his lungs, feeling refreshed and ready to hunt them down to earn more experience points. Then, he continuously activated the magic scroll, and a sea of fireballs rained down on the damned beasts.

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

Painful howls resounded out without a break from here and there. Almost immediately, notifications popped up in Vincent's mind, bringing with them happy news, telling him that he had killed a lot and earned a lot.

His experience points surpassed ten thousand.

However, he didn't have time to be happy about it.

Although he killed a lot while running towards them, there were still numerous beasts in the early levels to the peak levels of the magical realm, and several in the first to the third level of the demonic realm.

Out of all the beasts, the ones at the demonic realm opened their mouths and howled out loud. Then, a ball of buzzing energy formed in the center of their opened jaws, instantly condensing into a lightning bot.

Oh, damn it!
