“Let me take the wheel!” Miles hopped on the front seat and stepped on the pedal as hard as he could. After he used the fourth mind serum, his reaction time was faster than ever. He used the car like a limb as he maneuvered between trees and rock. From time to time, there were some Frenzy- Rank monsters appearing in his path, he did not avoid them at all, he drove onto them and just when he was about to crash, he turned the wheel and passed by them. The ram coming behind him wasn’t as nimble as he was. He clashed with those monsters and hurt them.

This was Miles's plan. He wanted to slow down the ram while making it hit on the targets and infuriate the monsters in the forest to slow the ram down. But his plan failed. No monster in that part of the forest was fast enough to catch up with the ram. After the car and ram passed that area, they were too slow to catch on to their trail.

After struggling for more than half an hour, Miles realized that the forest was about to end. The trees were getting scarcer, and there was nothing else Miles could use to slow the ram down. Miles looked around and found nothing, so he turned the wheel and the car started to draw a crescent. He had no other choice but to return to the forest, or he couldn’t hang on even a minute. But laws of geometry worked against him. Ram was running towards the car directly and the path he was taking was shorter than Miles’s, who was taking a semi-circle to return to the forest.

In a few short seconds, the ram collided with the side of the car and threw it tens of meters from its path. While it was still in the air, Miles opened the door and jumped out of it. The collision was enough to destroy one side of it, the orb was going to explode.

Miles fished out the stone-gray orb from his bag and Coin charged without any command. Two wings appeared on his back carrying him in the air. Miles was expecting to ditch the speeding ram with this move, but the next second he realized he was wrong! Two wings, made of light appeared on the devil chasing him, and it too stepped into the air. Its speed was as fast as when it was on the ground, while Miles was in the open when he was in the air.

Miles looked at the approaching mass of light in distress. A maroon armor liquified and surrounded his body. “I guess I have no other choice.” Miles sighed as armor solidified around his body. The spear his father gifted to him, the mask, and the cape with dual elements also appeared.

When ram was in front of Miles, he swung his cape behind him like a matador, and let ram collide with the cape. When it did, an explosion deafening the ears reverberated in the opening and both Miles and ram flew in different directions. Miles was relatively okay because he was on the opposite side of the explosion and only took the impact caused by the blast. But Ram took the hit directly, but he was a Frenzy-Rank monster after all. Although the cape was strong, it was Grunt-Rank and didn’t have much effect on the ram.

“I can’t fly. If I try to fly, I will be dead in seconds.” Miles put the wings away and started to circle around the trees. Although the wind was accelerating his speed, they were too crude and making it harder for him to hide in dense forest.

Before he could go too far, Ram charged once again and knocked down four trees in a row. Luckily, Miles was able to escape.

Miles grunted and rose on his feet. He clutched the spear as darkness flew around it. It was such a coincidental encounter. The ram was mainly a light elemental beast, and Miles's newest weapon was dark elemental. Unfortunately, the spear was only a Grunt-Rank, pinnacle-tier, and could only cause so much damage to the Frenzy-Rank ram.

Miles stabbed the ram with the spear, but the giant horn was like a lance too. Ram stopped the spear with its horns amplified by the light element, then pushed forward to skiver Miles into its other horn, but Miles smirked as he let electrical currents flow through the armor to the spear. When it got washed by electricity, the ram got shocked and lost its momentum for a second. Miles was waiting for this opportunity and opened his mouth. “DIE!” He shouted. The sound traveled with the wind and with the lightning it hit the monster. Miles felt energy running from his body to the mask, but this time he wasn’t as tired as the last time.

Ever since he started to use energy to escape from the awakened dead in the colosseum, his control over it got better as well. Now he could use the mask at least four times before dropping tired.

Ram fell to the ground with his organs hurt. The sound was a wave that could travel inside the body. With the wind and lightning elements supporting it, it was able to create wreckage in the ram’s body. The ram looked at Miles spitefully. Its eyes looked murderous.

Miles felt a cold shiver washing his body, but he could do nothing but fight.

The ram jumped back onto his four hooves, and the light shone on its holy body. The light got so bright, Miles couldn’t see anything. With no other choice, he closed his eyes, otherwise, they would hurt.

“Coin, what is it doing?” Miles shouted with panic!

“It is charging, dodge to the left. LEFT!” Miles tried to dodge to the left after Coin warned him but he was too late after all. The attack was so strong, Miles felt his organs shift in his body. His ribs got cracked or broken and armor had crumbled the dust on the chest area where the ram hit Miles with its horns.

Miles flew back while spitting blood. His head felt dizzy, and he couldn’t muster his strength to get back to his feet. He looked at the ram standing a few meters away from him, looking down on him with a smirk. Miles felt rage boiling inside him, but there was nothing he could do.

“You piece of shit! You picked the fight with me and chased me all the way here. Don’t blame me for using this!” Miles shouted as he used the first stage of the Exaltedness of the Creator. Miles felt his muscles getting denser, and energy boiling inside his body. His rage, like a tidal wave, merged with energy originating from his heart and moved to his head. When it did, it went to his mouth. Miles looked at the shining ram. It was preparing to attack with the same move, but Miles didn’t bother to dodge. He waited for the ram to approach.

When it was just a meter away from Miles, he opened his mouth and shouted once again. This time louder than any other time. “DIE!”

The scream, like thousands of spears, flew towards the approaching ram. Two forces collided in the air, and neither side could hurt the other. Miles looked at the ram frozen in the air, but he could see air cracking on the ram's horns.

Ram took a step back but pushed its horn a little. The stalemate lasted for a few seconds, but Miles felt it was like a lifetime. Goat spat out blue blood, but it still charged at Miles like a train. It collided with Miles and broke down his armor in many places and the mask had cracks all over it, with the rest of his body bleeding profusely. But the ram wasn’t better off. After Miles passed out, the ram too fell to the ground.

Miles removed the mask to prevent it from exploding and his body was bleeding in many places. He was most vulnerable ever since he stepped into the Portal World.
