Chapter 1232 Situation Goes From Bad To Worse

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

-----------------------

"Ah s.h.i.+t," E.E voiced as he spotted the six limbed creature with a calabash like upper body build.

It was greyish in color with black dots all across its body while its six limbs which were connected to its lower body looked like human arms but with six fingers instead of five.

The creature size wasn't bigger than nine feet. It was one of the smallest beasts they had encountered since they arrived here.

"Maybe it hasn't seen us, we can still get away unnoticed," E.E voiced with a low tone since they were currently hundreds of feet from the ground.

It was almost like E.E's last sentence attracted it as the creature just happened to look upwards in the next instant.

"Ryuuuhhhh!" A loud and sharp whistle like voice reverberated across the vicinity loudly as the beast spotted them.

"What the h.e.l.l!?" E.E yelled as they all held their ears in pain while the platform they were currently standing on vibrated intensely.

"You just had to jinx it didn't you?" Gustav voiced.

"It's a small beast and it's just one, we can still get away," Immediately after E.E finished saying this a loud rumbling a.s.saulted their earing.

The group turned around to spot a horde of beasts similar in appearance to the one below them, approaching the Golden Entrapment from the south.

"Now we're in deep s.h.i.+t, this thing called the others here," E.E voiced with an expression of horror.

The timer display showed that only around fifty minutes was left till the challenge would come to an end but if they didn't move now, these beasts would get to them in less than a minute.

"Go," Gustav turned North and sped forward.

Angy and E.E followed after him and immediately jumped forward the instant they arrived at the ledge.

The beasts approaching had began climbing upwards at very quick pace. It was obvious that they were incapable of flight, however, the six hand like limbs attached to their lower bodies were extremely quick and tight gripped, making it possible for the beasts tight climb up very quickly.

The golden rods shooting out of the ground were scaled very quickly and many of the creatures arrived over a hundred feet above in a couple of seconds.

The trio were trying to make their way down but these creatures were very quick. The first one who alerted the other, was already ahead of them as it already climbed quickly close to their current height.

Gustav and the others spotted it ahead leaping from one vertically positioned golden rod to another, as it headed in their direction.

They were practically jumping from one golden platform to another headed in the direction the first beast was coming from.

The instant arrived at an area of golden rods positoned vertically and horizontally, they began stepping forward slowly and carefully.

However, at this same instant, the first beast reached the same height as them. It sped across the rods very quickly.

"Oh s.h.i.+t," E.E voiced as they creature leapt towards them.

Swweewii~

"Down," Gustav voiced and jumped from the horizontal golden rod they were currently walking on.

The trio followed Gustav, wasting no time in jumping after him.

The beast missed them as it leapt past their initial spot landing on a golden platform ahead.

After dropping past a certain point, Gustav grabbed an horizontal positioned rod tightly, causing his entire body to come to a stop.

Angy and E.E who were falling from the air after him were unaware of his plans before jumping. They only blindly followed him not caring about what would happen.

Gustav reached out and grabbed hold of E.E's right arm. E.E in turn reached out and grabbed Angy's causing all three of them to be suspended in the air with Gustav's right arm doing all the work.

Their abilities might have been restricted but Gustav could still do this much.

"Ughh," He groaned while pulling upwards with all his might.

E.E's right arm leveled with the golden pole as Gustav placed his hand right before it. He quickly wrapped his hand around the golden pole and pulled Angy' upwards as well.

They all climbed to the top of the horizontally inclined golden pole and began moving forward across it. As they were headed for the golden platform up ahead, the beasts had arrived at the position the trio were initially.

"Ryuuuhhhh!"

The whistled voices of the beasts rang out again and in unison this time upon spotting their preys below.

The trio held their ears as they speedily made their way across, trying to get out of the zone as quickly as they could. The beasts began jumping from place to place as they made their way downwards again not willing to let the trio get away.

The trio arrived at a steep golden platform that extended to the bottom of the golden entrapment. Gustav wasted no time in diving forward and landing ahead before taking a crouch.

His entire figure began sliding downwards at quick pace. Angy and E.E wasted no time in moving forward and sliding across the smoothened golden platform as the beasts also hurried down from the height they climbed to.

"Go!" go! go!" Gustav yelled as they arrived at the bottom.

Their breaths were hurried and their hearts pumping with adrenaline as they charged out of the golden entrapment. They were still moving at human speed but they had quickly made their way to the outskirts after running for some time.

The unfathomable and inexplicable structured Golden Entrapment was now tens of feet behind them. However, the structure wasn't the only thing that was behind them...

"Ryuuuhhhh!" The incoming beasts clamored as they charged at their preys.

They were over a hundred of them chasing after the trio and there was no doubt that they were faster as well.

"Should we split up?" E.E questioned as they began to make their way across the sandy area with multiple holes in the ground.

"No, let's keep going," Gustav responded as they swerved across large holes to avoid falling in.

The vicinity behind them had been shrouded in a cloud of dust due to the numbers of these beasts making their way forward at full speed.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Multiple of them fell into the holes positioned all across the vicinity, causing them to slow down.

"They're low intelligence beasts," Gustav stated as they turned their necks to the side slightly and spotted the creatures tripping on themselves and falling into the holes around.

"If we're lucky enough, we can make it across before they catch up to us," E.E voiced.

"I'm not sure that kind of luck exists in reality," Gustav responded with a pessimistic tone.

He was well aware that some of the beasts would still catch up to them very soon since there was no way they'd all fall into holes.

Regardless, they did their best to keep running forward and avoid the holes.

In a couple of minutes, they suddenly spotted a purplish fog up ahead.

"Is that...?" E.E squinted his eyes as he noticed the purplish fog closing in.

"It can't be..." Angy eyes showed a hint of defeat as skeletal faces with glowing purple eyes appeared within the fog.

The situation immediately went from bad to worse as these beasts flew in their direction while the other beasts with multiple lower limbs were still chasing from behind.

The strong stench of dust in the air reeked ominously as the two different hordes of beasts sped towards the trio with obvious nefarious intentions.

Gustav turned northwest with a still determined expression despite knowing it was an impossible situation.

"Looks like I'll have to use the rest of my attacks," He voiced.

Angy and E.E turned in his direction, wanting to follow him but he quickly yelled.

"Don't follow me. E.E," He gave E.E a look and E.E instantly understood what it meant.

He quickly turned to the right with and grabbed Angy's hand.

"What are you...? Didn't you say we'll keep moving together?" Angy yelled as E.E dragged her away.

"Go!" Gustav yelled, not giving any room for explanations as he kept running with speed.

"Heyyyyy!!! Come affter me b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!" Gustav yelled with a loud tone as he grabbed something from the ground and flung it in the direction of the beasts chasing from behind.

As E.E and Angy made their way forward in practically the opposite, direction, the hordes began to split.

This was something Gustav knew would happen but he already decided he was going to pull their attention to himself alone.

Teh! Teh! Teh!

He quickly tapped on his Iov bracelet and activated an attack.

[Energy Cannon Blast]

Gustav turned around and pointed his arm at the ground as energy built up across the bracelet.

Tuuiiinnn~ Booom!

A loud blast rang out in the next moment as a green beam shot into the ground from his arm.

Heavy winds dispersed dust in all directions, covering up the entire vicinity in a couple of moments.
