VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

Chapter 247 The Immediate escape

"Hey!"

There were monsters all around him.

Most were dead, but many more were swarming down from the top of the ridges around the forest area.

As he could see right now, many monsters were even worse looking than what they had witnessed until now.

"Hey! Look here!"

There were some creatures that were even close to reaching their third awakening state, which was absurd since these kinds of creatures were something one could only find in the bronze valley on the western continent.

There were surely many places that might have some of these creatures on the east, but to think there were more than a few of these mythic beings coming to this forest was simply absurd.

{ "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET AWAY!" }

The flying creatures were being dealt by Sera, but there were still many that had already crossed the boundary and left for the other side.

She was trying her best to stop them, but she wasn't strong enough to fight against creatures who had passed their second awakening or were above Level-200 when she was still only at this stage.

[{ Master! Be careful! There is danger all around right now! You might-. }]

[{ "I know what I'm doing, Sera." }]

She needed more time to get used to her body as well so she was simply using her skills right now, not using the Relic that she had never used until now even though she had all the required knowledge to use it.

{ "What are you doing!" }

The divine creature saved Elio once but he had walked out of the safe area, the cave, and was walking out into the forest area that was already saturated with the dangerous monsters of all kinds.

The divine creature was fighting the beasts, and though it was overpowering them effortlessly, there was a limit to its strength.

{ "You shouldn't be here! Go to the center! There's a barrier!" }

It did not have an endless stream of power, and not only the divine power was something very peculiar, the way this one used it made it impossible for it to go on for a long time.

It could not sustain its strength for long, and that much Elio knew already.

The major reason this creature collected that 'Moon grass' so much and had to rely on it so much was because of the efforts of that thing.

{ "Go there! You'd be safer there!" }

It was not only a great source of energy for this creature which regularly used a substantial amount of its strength to move at a speed that was not easy to maintain and produce.

This was difficult for it, and as Elio could see right now, that creature was in no state to take any break.

"I'll go! But take these! And come to the center! We will have to leave this place!"

Elio took out all the grass blades of the unique glowing grass that he had and as soon as he took them out, they all vanished after a gust of wind passed by him.

The creature needed strength to sustain itself right now so it did not wait any longer and simply chewed down on the grass and increased the speed that had slowed down considerably at that point.

"Come! We will be leaving right now!"

The creature had not heard him until now, but now that Elio shouted once again, the creature noticed what he was saying and was surprised.

{ "What do you mean to leave?!" }

It didn't know what he was talking about.

Leaving this place, their home, was never something it wanted to do. It was happy here, and this was its home.

Leaving this place would mean leaving the home where it had lived for many centuries. It was almost the same as leaving the only nest that it had known to be its home until now…

And it genuinely did not want that.

"We have no choice! Do you think we can go against this endless stream of monsters?! Look at yourself! Do you want to die fighting these things?!"

It didn't seem like these creatures would end anytime soon.

It almost seemed like they were all coming from some depth of the abyss where they were proliferating for centuries, waiting for perhaps just this day.

As time was passing, even more powerful beings were coming here, and Elio knew this divine creature, despite its boundless strength, was not going to be able to defeat all these creatures on its own.

It wasn't an immortal, and it wasn't omnipotent. Even if it used all the strength it had in each cell of its body, it might still not be able to protect everything in this place.

It might not be able to protect the home that it had cherished for so long…!

{ "I'm not leaving! You can go if you want!" }

"Don't be stubborn, dumbass!"

A home wasn't just a place, a forest, a geographical location where one spent their entire life.

As that creature knew as well, a home was a place where one felt the most comfortable in, the place where they lived with the beings that they had lived with for eternity, the place that they shared with their family…

"I'm going! Come! The others won't leave without you! You're their Everything!"

Elio knew this creature was smart even though it was acting all stubborn right now.

It knew it wasn't going to be able to fend off all these monsters on its own, and even if it does fend them off, it might not be able to save everything like it wanted with the certain limitations imposed on it by this very world.

There were some things that were beyond our control, and it had to understand that as not only the person in charge of this place, this paradise, but also the being that had protected this place for a long, long time.

"They need you!"

He used his movement skill and heightened senses as well as the mini map to pass through the destroyed forest, avoiding the creature that was as dangerous as the one that had almost killed him just now.

They had to leave right this instance.

Sera was too tired right now, he could feel that much.

And, he knew that creature wasn't going to let them leave just like that…
