Volume 6 Chapter 6: Head Start

"Rawr!" The raptor quickly dashed through the plains. It was rushing at a frightening speed, not caring for the monsters in front of it. They tried to stop him, yet they couldn't. Instead,

Splurt!

The raptor went through the monsters' bodies! It was a spear piercing through all of them. It didn't care for any of them. Instead, it was returning to the cave.

A gut feeling. It felt like something was wrong with the tree. And its hunch was correct. When returning to the entrance, it witnessed the cave was open! It rushed in. And when it arrived, it saw everything. The tree was nowhere to be found! What was left was only bits of bark littered everywhere.

"Rawrr!!!" A gigantic howl soon came after! Who could have done this?! Who could have destroyed its treasure?!

As the beast wondered in unending fury, it started to sniff. After some time, the raptor's nose began to recover. And it could smell the tree coming from outside!

There was nothing else to be said as it started to swallow all the magic stones used for the tree. It continued to eat; slowly, the body began to buff up! Its muscles and legs raged forth.

"Rawr!" That roar became even more deadly! Cracks started to form on the walls of the tunnel.

It was ready to end whatever caused this.

...

"It's so mad at us!" Titus didn't know whether to laugh or cry in this situation!

Keith laughed, "We have a huge head start compared to it."

"..." How can you be so relaxed in a situation like this? Well, he did have that woman and owl with him. If he wasn't comfortable, then there was something wrong.

Right now, the four were running. The four had started running half an hour ago; they had a significant headstart over the monster.

"Keith, how long are we going to keep this?" On the back of Titus was a tree bark from the corrupted tree. Keith had told him to take that thing with him.

"Till we get to the boss," Keith grinned.

"...Wait a minute." An idea came to Titu's mind, "You're not planning to do that, right?!"

"Heh." That grin turned even wider.

"..." Oh, dear lord. What kind of plan was this?!

As the four continued onward,

"Rawr!" A couple of georaptors came in front of his way.

"We don't have time for you guys, Diana!" "On it!" Diana waved her hands. A bunch of vines appeared, constricted them. Aria came flying next as she froze them!

"Grrr!" Titus and Keith slammed them, shattering them like glass! There was no way they could lose. With Diana and Aria, they were steamrolling everyone in their way.

Their running only lasted a few minutes as they arrived at the boss's gate. Titus and Keith took a deep sigh.

"The only thing we have to do is wait for the thing to come." Keith grinned. That was the first stage of his plan; make the raptor angry and lure it here. He had a hunch that the variant would go ballistic if the tree was destroyed. And he was right.

Because behind them, the only thing they heard was the sounds of trees crashing down.

"It's super angry at us," Titus muttered. Besides the crashing trees, he heard stomping sounds. It was loud and resounding.

"The aura coming from him is deadly." Diana saw something the others didn't. There was a strong aura of death coming their way. Aria was prepared to fight.

"Good. Let it be angry." Keith closed his eyes, "10...9...8...7...6..5." He slowly did a countdown.

"...1. Enter now!" Keith and the three quickly dashed into the room. When they did, they saw a giant T-Rex. It was twice the size of the dragator king. What was more, it had two sharp fangs like a sabertooth.

"Raw-" "Take this!" Without hesitation, Titus tossed the bark at the boss's face! It landed dead on target.

"Rawr?" The T-Rex looked down at the bark. It did nothing. It was like a mosquito biting it. The boss looked at it for a second before it picked it up with its mouth. It looked up to see Keith and the three not there.

And the monster should not have done that because,

"Roar!" The variant came crashing in! When it saw the bark in the monster's mouth, it didn't hesitate to charge at the T-Rex, slamming into it!
