When Saeflwyn left with the rodent man, carrying Fiend Yuki on her back they quickly chose a direction opposite of where Saeflwyn sensed the beast horde.

Not even 30 minutes went by when the a few of the fastest and strongest beasts happened upon their scent trail at the rodent man's house, demolishing it and roaring to assert dominance. With the roars echoing call more beasts gathered up to hunt their suspected prey, meanwhile when Saeflwyn and the rodent man heard the roar it only served to speeden up their fleeing cause.

The chase lasted hours, but only in the beasts favor. Wounding the rodent man, and draining them both out of Qi.

Yet what could they do, the forest is the beast's home turf, even if it’s not their natural habitat. With the beasts superior endurance, speed, and tracking abilities. Saeflwyn and the rodent man had to suffer multiple abushes from underground, land, and air.

With the beasts closing in, Saeflwyn and the rodent man quickly searched for a place to defend easier or to hide away. Sensing the nearby area Saeflwyn eyes brighten as she found a cave not even 500 feet away. Quickly dashing their with the rodent man in tow, they both enter the cave covering the entrance with what rocks they could.

Traversing all the way into the back of the cave, Saeflwyn placed down Fiend Yuki onto the ground. Only to quiziedly look at him since all that happened so far is that his clothes got torn when beasts ambushed her back only to strike him.

Sitting down beside him, Saeflwyn closed her eyes to recuperate from the arduous journey and for the fight that will happen next.

Seeing her and the boy next to her, caused the rodent man’s eyes to squint since he’s obviously seen the kid get stuck by beasts even he’d get severely wounded by.

“*squeak* my lady Saeflwyn why carry that child we would have traveled twice as far if not for him, I say we leave him and hurry now before more beast come..”

Snapping open her eyes, then staring at the rodent man with chilly eyes Saeflwyn coldly replied “Then you leave now, Reodar. I don’t remember telling you to follow me. Besides what is a mere servant doing questioning what I do?!”

Gulping and then looking away from her Reodar stared at his feel with anger and rage silently smoldering inside his eyes with the ever so of faintest wisp of lust “N-n-n-n-nnothing my lady.. Forgive this one for speaking out of term.”

“All is forgiven.. Quickly recover your Qi, who knows when these beasts will strike again.” Closing her eyes and quietly returning back to meditation Saeflwyn didn’t notice the look of pure hate, anger, and lust thrown her way when she closed her eyes.

Time passed by slowly, what felt like hours was actually only 40 minutes of recuperation for Saeflwyn, and Reodar when the beast finally started to attack in waves.

The very first to strike was a Green Eyed Blistering Viper, whom nearly cover the whole entrance with its massive size, yet died all too quickly when Reodar stabbed it through one eye out the other, leaping back when yellow pus like blood spurted out causing the nearby stones and Reodar’s weapon to dissolved in steamy smoke.

“FUCKING SNAKE THAT WAS 1 MILLION SPIRIT STONES, YOUR BEAST CORE ISN’T EVEN WORTH A FOURTH OF THAT!!!” Screamed Reodar shortly after killing it, but still covering his arms and hands with Qi and digging out the beasts core and storing it away shortly after.

Right after storing it away, the snake’s body started to get pulled back with massive tugs as the beasts outside, sensing the free meal, yanked back the snake to eat although only the poisonous in nature ate it, otherwise the other beasts that did would’ve melted from the inside out.

Shortly after the snake was taken out, a swarm of foot long diamond toothed rats swarmed in.

Seeing the rats that were swarming inside, Reodar went berserk killing them all in the most brutal way uncaring of his qi consumption. Causing the rats to get blown apart and the cave to constantly shake as he blew parts and chunks of the caves walls away in anger.

Killing them by the hundreds, Reodar finally couldn’t handle it anymore at the end and plopped down exhausted of qi. Taking out a few spirit stones to recuperate his qi. Saeflwyn stood up as it was her turn to guard the entrance.
