"How did… how did you do that?"
ra beca extrely curious again, she was very frustrated, as if if her questions were not answered she would go crazy. To this, Kain only replied gently.
"Shockwave."
"Shockwave... ah, I see."
The principle of the previous action was to take advantage of Roc's sensory sensors - which would identify prey through shockwaves. Here, Kain used the huge shockwaves beneath the ground created by [Earth Magic] to hide the shockwaves the three of them had created. To compare it, it was like hiding a cup of water by pouring it into a bucket of water, basically indistinguishable.
However, Kain's face did not relax after escaping danger, instead he beca more serious, as if he was about to face sothing even more dangerous.
In fact, this is not just a hunch.
The reason Kain didn't want to use this thod to escape the monsters was because it would attract more monsters. A large enough shockwave would make them invisible to the Rocs, but a large enough shockwave would also affect and awaken other Rocs.
Like a chain reaction, the journey ahead of them will be more difficult than ever.
"In a mont, no matter what I say, you two have to listen, understand? This is for our safety."
"So don't keep your eyes off , we're in for quite a run."
Having said that, Kain looked ahead of him.
It was as if he had entered a strange state, his information reception ability was fully deployed. Anything that entered Kain's field of vision would be seen, grasped, analyzed, and finally dealt with. The four major steps of information reception were completed by Kain in an extrely short period of ti.
"ra, use [Earth Magic]."
Kain gave the order, and ra imdiately followed, even though neither of them were yet aware of the danger approaching.
But Kain's senses in this state were always correct. He felt that the air passing by had so distortion. Coupled with the slight distortion that appeared in his field of vision, he made an extrely quick judgnt.
Sure enough, as soon as the Roc appeared in Myra and ra's sight, it was hit by Kain's [Thunder Bullet]. It was so fast that it seed like Kain already knew that this monster wanted to appear there so he could use his magic skill.
The entire Eyel on the monster's body was burned away, and its geological senses were in chaos. Kain's team easily passed another Roc.
The next few tis were the sa, Kain always led the team in the right direction, as if he had already ford a map in his head.
However, they soon encountered a huge problem.
Endurance.
ra was gradually becoming exhausted both physically and ntally, even Myra's condition was gradually getting worse, and even Kain was gradually showing signs of fatigue.
If they don't rest, they will collapse before they can even step out of this area.
"We'll stop here today."
Following Kain's signal, the two sisters seed to be freed, leaning their backs against a rock to rest tiredly. The rock wall was hard, and could not be compared to beds with sheepskin cushions, but even soone used to comfort like ra still felt more comfortable than ever.
"As long as we don't make too much of a commotion, we'll be fine."
Kain reassured his two companions, then began dividing up water, rations and dried at for the two to eat.
ra, the young lady, now ate like a starved animal. All manners and politeness were thrown to the back of her mind. Nothing was more important than replenishing energy from food. This humorous image made Myra unable to help but smile, she turned to Kain, finding him still deep in thought.
Unlike the opening in the upside down forest, where Kain was thrown into a random location that he couldn't identify, Kain could now roughly visualize where his team was in this rocky cave area.
And because he rembered the map of this area well, Kain also drew a path that ran straight through here.
Of course, the original plan was soon foiled when the first Roc appeared.
As for why Kain's party didn't just take down the Roc to calm things down? The answer is... no way.
Rocs were hard to kill, it had been said before. And the shockwaves caused by taking down a Roc were no less than when ra used [Earth Magic], if not even greater. The Rocs would still be awakened and searching for prey, while Kain's team had lost the advantage of ti and could no longer advance, the only way to be safe was to retreat back to the upside-down forest area.
But if they do that, it would be like all their efforts have been in vain.
For that reason, Kain could only guide the team through the Rocs blocking their path on one side, while constantly calculating and changing their path to make it as safe as possible on the other side.
Even so, they had only gone one-sixth of the way.
"Kain, what's wrong, you should probably loosen up a bit."
Myra said in concern, while Kain just shook his head, showing that he was fine.
However, Myra still did not let him go, but instead began to question him.
"Kain, ever since you saw those guys, you seem to have beco more… hasty? I an, there's absolutely no need to be in such a hurry, we haven't even used up a third of our ti for the entrance exam yet?"
"Alright."
Kain sighed, then looked seriously at Myra and ra.
"The three of us walked out of the upside down forest without stopping, and then ran here without stopping. You're right, Myra, we didn't need to be this fast, but Myra, this entrance exam… has long since ceased to be an ordinary ordeal."
"How big do you think this place is?"
Drawn in by Kain's seriousness, the two sisters were unable to react to his sowhat out of place question. ra and Myra both answered at the sa ti, of course it was very broad, right?
