He was relieved at the fact that none of the beasts had made a move on him after his battle with the mutated gorilla.

He had reached the 9th level of the mutation realm, but he had yet to reach the peak of the level.

With peace in mind, he went into cultivation.

His life cultivation had resumed. However, this time he couldn't cultivate for long.

Loud noises of battle had disturbed his cultivation.

He quickly flew off to investigate because the battle noises were louder than usual.

He arrived at the location five minutes later. However, the view left him vexed.

The new beast looked like a vulture. However, its size screamed anything but a vulture. It was 10 times bigger than a regular vulture.

All four beasts had been battling the new beast. Yet, they were being pushed back and one of the beasts had died.

The aura released by the new beast was oppressive.

He had a clear idea of his strength.

"The beast has to be of higher realm than me to suppress me. But, I don't know what realm is above the mutation realm."

He didn't bother asking the system. Currently, the problem wasn't the fact that he didn't know the level above his realm. But, the fact that he was facing one right now.

He decided to join the battle. "I will be its next target if I leave it alone."

Now the vulture no longer had the one-sided advantage of flight.

Their strategy had changed from randomly attacking in the hopes of landing an attack to launching an attack when it was distracted.

Grim would launch air attacks using his 'water blade' or 'storm'. It would cause minor injuries enough to distract the vulture. Then, other beasts would launch attacks while it was distracted.

The vulture would try to counterattack Grim. But, he could easily dodge it.

He could already cruise at the speed of 1000 kmph (620 mph). It was close to the speed of the sound (1 mach). If needed, he could also cruise at 2.5 times the speed of the sound by using 'dash'.

The vulture had a huge body and tremendous strength. However, it was at a disadvantage when it came to speed. There was no point in strength if you are not able to catch your prey.

The battle kept on going for days. None of the sides conceded. It was a battle of survival for both sides.

Grim and three other beasts surrounded the vulture and made their move turn wise.

At first, the injuries were not a problem for the vulture. However, they started piling up when the battle lasted for days.

The battle was concluded on the fourth day. Numerical advantage had been the deciding factor in their victory.

[Congratulations to the host for eliminating the archon vulture.]

"You have obtained 2000 Evo."

"Is archon realm above mutation?"

"That is right."

"So it's called archon realm. I wonder when will I be able to reach it." There was longing in his eyes.

They divided the corpse into four equal parts and started preparing for their return. Just then, they heard a large roar.

Multiple roars followed soon.

They felt chills running down their spine.

"They are stronger than the vulture, and there are multiples of them."

"Time to run"

Grim was the first to take off. Others followed up soon. They all fled in different directions.

Grim flew toward the river in the east at full speed.

He was worried he would get caught if he flew any slower.

He arrived at the river after ten minutes.

The river was calm, unlike the forest. He decided to fly further up.
