King Of Limbo-246 Chapter 244

In order to leave as few signs of herself as possible, Juliet had made the decision to fight, move, and survive in the most primitive way possible.

The worst-case scenario for her at this point would be to meet Aron. However, she was convinced that after this modification, even he would have trouble locating her.

After completing that, she looked down at the corpse and put her hand close to it.

Once more, in order to support the growth of the fertilized egg inside her, she took all life and vitality from the creature.

She observed progress, albeit quite slowly, the more she practiced this art. This just served to highlight her lack of ability to carry Aron's child.

Not because she had much less fear than he did, but rather due to the significant difference in mana viscosity.

Because the egg would start assimilating her own vitality whenever her craving for mana expanded, she had no idea how much more mana it would require and didn't even bother to calculate.

If she continued to withhold insufficient amounts, she would die sooner than the unborn child.

Without giving her dilemma any more thought, she turned to gaze at some distant mountain ranges in the hopes of getting a good view of the area from a high point and spotting additional beasts or other beings to hunt.

Juliet started hunting humans at the same time that the numerous indigenous inhabitants of that foreign land were doing so, considering them to be fresh, simple prey.

…

The number of bodies one could encounter throughout the following days of journey had greatly increased.

One could not travel more than five kilometers without coming across more than fifty bodies, whether they belonged to monsters, Komi, or humans.

Aron was aware that Limbo might occasionally become quite chaotic, particularly during shifts in Limbo or migrations of beasts, but none of those things were happening in this instance.

What was happening was merely the outcome of the collision of two established sides—the newcomers from Pesia and the locals from the other lands.

"At this rate not many humans will be left. So far it seems they're the most targeted."

As they led the gathering into yet another wide valley, Rose and Aron made the statement.

"Dying now only indicates that they would have died sooner or later. Those who adapt more quickly have higher chances to survive than those who cling to their former systems and natures." Aron answered casually.

So far, the areas they traveled through have either been forested, swampy, or open valleys with lush green grass.

Aron and Jagu, the two most sensitive, stopped moving when they crossed this wide valley, however, as a strong breeze went through.

Both simultaneously turned their heads to the far-off sky, where they could make out the emergence of darker clouds.

Numerous tiny creatures ran past them as they did so, as if they were fleeing from something.

There will be a storm, and a heavy one at that. While snuffling his nose both left and right, Jagu made a point.

Aron, however, could only make out a faint outline of a humanoid in the direction of the black clouds with squinted eyes.

"Koliens?" After giving it some thought, he increased his vision until he could plainly see what was in the sky.

"Kolieans? Your people, yes? That means a bigger group and safer travel, sweet sweet soft life." After hearing what Aron said, Jin grinned, but as he turned to face Aron, he found that he was wearing a solemn expression.

"Those aren't Kolieans, but more than that…" At the conclusion, Aron stumbled because he was equally confused.

One thing was certain: he needed to get out of the way of the approaching storm as soon as possible.

He was perplexed as to why his senses were foggy with them so far until he spotted one of the leading beasts return his gaze with narrowed eyes.

The creatures had human-like features, but Aron could tell right away that they belonged to the Reptilia class because of their rough, scaly skin.

In terms of the order,

He mumbled something in a hard tone, "...Dracona."

Since not all of them had the same features, it was impossible for him to determine at first glance which family or species they belonged to.

Some had wings that were differently arranged, while others had scales that were a different hue.

A minority had skeletal structures in their wings that were morphologically similar to the skeletal elements found in other tetrapod forelimbs. The majority had six limbs—arms, legs, and wings—all of which had proper skeletal structures. The latter was odd because winged mammals frequently exhibited such characteristics.

"Run."

Aron suddenly gave a command while maintaining a fixed gaze in the distant.

"Why? What do you see-" Aron was knocked several meters away by a figure who flashed by before Lady Rose could even question him.

? Boom!~

The thing made a loud boom that only reached their ears after hitting Aron, who was gazing at it.

When it came close, the others were alarmed by its intimidating two and a half foot height.

"So this is all the new breeds can amount to." It grinned widely and proudly spread its wings, maintaining a high level of mana fluctuation as if to proclaim its superiority. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

Despite having only the nether areas of its body wrapped in primitive-looking garments, it spoke Dim fluently. However, only Aron, Rose, who had some knowledge of the language, and Evanora could understand what it was saying.

"Aron…" While Jagu and Jin nervously eyed their adversary, Evanora raced to Aron's side in response to a small cry to see if he was okay.

They could never contend with somebody strong enough to launch Aron into the air.

"Who told you to move pet." When he noticed Evanora entirely ignoring her, the smirk on the Dracona's face quickly changed to one of annoyance.

He chose to advance quickly, but she spoke first and turned to face him. "Evanora commands you to stop."

The large creature immediately knelt down, its eyes flashing with apparent surprise.

When she turned to face Aron again, he had already passed her in a similarly quick burst of movement.

Boom!~

Aron's quick movements and the impact of his fist on the creature's chest caused two booms to resonate in the vicinity at that precise instant.

Woosh!~

The Dracona's form took off from a distance of many kilometers rather than just a few meters, even passing another Dracona that was on its route and had just paused to gaze ahead.

They then witnessed an enraged-looking Aron raising his right fist; the blow was so powerful that it broke the gauntlet he was wearing on that hand.

It was possible to see a minor crater at the location of the impact.

Aron drew back his hand and gave the other Dracona a strong stare as a declaration that he was not anyone's victim.

"Jin." Aron continued to act intimidatingly, but the others could see by the trembling of his right hand that he had probably harmed himself.

Jin quickly invoked his shrouding Art after comprehending the purpose of the summons.

The Dracona overlooked the light mist at first since they were concentrating on Aron.

However, it quickly got heavy and obscured everyone's vision.

"Jin clear our path, Jagu carry the dead weight, Rose we need a distraction and lastly Evanora… make it rain like last time." Everyone adopted their roles pretty soon after he gave the instruction.

Jin took the initiative and cleared a path through the dense mist for everyone to flee through. After taking the terrified Jezir, Mrah, and Kalel with him, Jagu was the first to pass through.

Jin rapidly chased after him as Rose dispatched scouters with significant fluctuations to attract attention.

"Evanora commands it to rain."

Evanora quickly envisaged the ideal scenario for what he desired when Aron stated the previous time.

Because in the next moment large sharp spear like shards formed high above the clouds using the surrounding mana itself.

They then started to descend from a few meters in front of Aron, Rose, and Evanora up until far beyond the area the Dracona were currently flying over.

He suddenly grabbed Rose and Evanora like sacks, threw them over his shoulder, and said, "Good now let's go."

All intelligent beings within hearing distance were startled by the chaos that engulfed the area and the numerous screams that burst from the dense mist.

Aron and his team were pursued when they fled, though.

They were fleeing when streaks of short, bony spears appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

With her scouters acting as decoys, Rose couldn't create a barrier while Evanora and Jin were still maintaining another art, this left the group devoid of mana projection specialists, hence defenseless.

"Incoming!"

Aron cautioned that he could sense the approaching projectiles even through the fog. Surprisingly, Jin, not Jagu, was the second-best at doing so.

Despite having excellent speed, Jagu frequently reacted slowly in contrast to Jin and Aron, who moved before a projectile could even strike.

Pa!~

Jagu was struck by one of the skeletal spears, which made him drop Jezir and halt.

"Keep running!" However Aron ordered otherwise, the humans were nothing but disposable in the first place.
