'Why is my heart beating so loudly and hard? It feels so suffocating!' he shouted in his mind until he heard his name again and he looked up. "What is it son? What are you thinking ab…" Clara stuttered as she could suddenly see Grey's eyes were widened and dilated as if he had just seen the devil himself. seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Mum! Look out!" He shouted as he tried to stretch his hand. "What is going on?" Clara asked as she turned around and she could see a portal opening up in front of her with a claw heading towards her face. "Arghhhhhhhhh!" Clara screamed in fright. "Wind magic! Aerius!" Grey shouted as he used his wind magic to push him mum from the portal opening up. The claw that was heading for Clara's face just swiped through the air slightly distorting it a little. While Clara was seen falling from the force of the wind Grey had used. But manipulating the Earth beneath his feet, Grey managed to move fast enough to catch his mum from hitting the ground. "Are you okay mum?" He asked as he looked her over from top to bottom. "I'm…I'm fine, don't worry." Clara said as she tried so hard to calm her beating heart. "I'm so glad you are alright. I thought I was going to lose you the same way I lost dad." Grey said as he hugged his mum tighter. "I'm going no where son." Clara replied and then loud shouting noises interrupted them as they could see people running Helter skelter while the portal was fully opened with three beasts coming out of it. The three beasts looked the same with them having brown fur all over their bodies, then two long horns on their heads, with two long fangs protruding out of their mouths and two sharp claws on each of their hands. Out of the three beasts, one of them looked a little smaller as it stood around 5ft tall while the remaining beasts stood at least 6ft tall. "GRHHHHHH!" The three beasts roared loudly at once. Quickly, Grey swirled his mana to his left eye activating his appraisal skill. What he saw made his eyes nearly popped out of his sockets. <Name: Talonus> <Level: 4> <Ability: Strength> Grey could see that two of the beasts that were 6ft tall were level 4 beast with the smaller one being a level 3 beast. "Darn! Nobody in this town can handle them, we need to run mum." Grey said as he picked his mum up and they began running back while the beasts split up destroying everywhere in one fell swoop. They were ripping and killing the humans there as if they were nothing. Those that tried fighting back were easily killed including the children there. Grey and Clara were running side by side together trying to escape but it was proving it quite difficult because of the commotion going on. The three beasts in seconds of coming out of the portal, had quickly transformed the town into a graveyard as a stampede was currently going on. People were currently pushing each other trying their possible best to escape but with three powerful beasts, it was proving difficult. Wherever they get to, a Talonus would appear there and kill them off which was why Grey's escape was proving difficult. 'Darn it! I'm not powerful enough to battle against level 4 beasts. We really need to escape now! I can't allow anything bad happen to mum here.' Grey shouted in his head and in anger, he used his wind magic to push some people out of the way. 'I can't really care about anybody now, I need to put my mum first before anyone.' He thought as they were almost at the alleyway that will lead them to the outskirts of town where they live. But all of a sudden, they could see a Talonus cutting of their paths but luckily for Grey, they weren't noticed as some people were already in front getting massacred. 'Darn it! How fast can they be to get from one place to another?' He wondered as he took another path while dragging his mum by the hand like a kid as they tried to run further again. Unfortunately, they found themselves back in the main town again with the two level 4 Talonus killing humans left and right and then Clara could see a mum standing in front of her 5 years old kid while a Talonus stood in front of the mum. It was obvious that the mother was trying to protect her kid while trying to shield her child away. But moving quickly, the beast killed the mum in one fell swoop. "Mother!!!!!" The child screamed loudly in pain while running forward and grabbing her mother's dead body. The child had even forgotten that there was a beast standing in front of it and that was when she felt a heavy breathing on her face. Looking up, she froze up while staring at the beast's eyes in fear. The Talonus just grabbed her neck with its claws trying to squeeze on tight. "Grey! We have to save that girl now!" Clara said as she tugged on Grey's sleeves making him look at where his mum was pointing at and he could see a girl being held up by the Talonus. "No offense mum, but are you crazy? You want to fight against a level 4 beast and get yourself killed because of a girl you don't know! Forget it, we have to get out of here while the beasts are not focused on us." Grey said as he kept surveying and planning their escape route. "Grey please! She's going to die!" Clara begged. "Mum, I know you have a good heart but right now, I have to act like the reasonable and mature one and refuse your request. We need to get the hell outta here now!" Grey said. "Fine! If you won't help her, I will do so myself." Clara said as she broke free from Grey's grip and ran forward quickly grabbing a long pole and charging straight at the beast. "Mum! What are you doing!" Grey shouted out loud as dread filled his heart seeing his mum rushing towards the beast.
