As tors surround aowards me, I create a bunch of ice spikes all arouo take them out.

  These guys are the fastest predasaurs around here, so if I take them out now it will make my escape much easier.

  But as I focus on taking them down, an annoyi attacks me; An ats eater.

  Moving away from it, I say, “It must suck to be so stupid.”

  The ats eater wildly tries to attack me, but it ot hit me. Even if I didn’t have the bes of spirit arts, my legacy, and the enhanced se wouldn’t be able to strike me since I have lears pattern.

  Moving forward, I prepare to hit its ot; the belly. But as I do I hear unknown footsteps heading towards me, it’s fast like a tor but its footsteps are not the same.

  After stabbing through the eater's stomach with my spear, I instantly move left to prepare for what is ing towards me.

  But I was too slow as something crashed into me the moment it does, it keeps moving forward and crash me straight through trees.

  Its body size is just slightly bigger than a tor, so use my legay fist and hit it in its neck which causes it to move to the left and stop while I fall to the right.

  Looking at it, I see its body is like a saw simir to a tor, but it has a very thick head, and its body looks quite aerodynamic. Willow told me about this wonderbeast; astamatisaurus.

  A predasaur from the upper parts of Fimbulwihat rarely ever es down.

  The adveold us that they found a few wonderbeasts from the upper parts of Fimbulwinter, I should have been prepared for this. I heard a lot of unknown footsteps, so who knows how many are here; this has gotten way too risky, I o run.

  As I try to move away the asta, moves its head forward really quickly, so I am just barely able to dodge. It then follows this up with a few more quick head strikes.

  The way it moves its head to strike and then pulls back, it feels like I am getting stuck with quick jabs. Its body must be quite flexible to pull this off, Willow would love to see this in real life.

  But I don’t have time for that. Dodge one of its jabs, I snow boost away, thee a pilr of ice beh me and head into the trees.

  While on top of the trees, I start to run away. Sighing, I say, “Finally some rexatio-.”

  Almost as if God is ughing at me, I am hit with a giant arm a flying away. My right arm got broken by that blow, so I ma my tail and ears.

  Then using my tail, I grab one of the trees and swing back up. Far in front of me swinging from branch to branch, I see more wonderbeasts.

  They have e-shaped bodies and their skin and two giant arms, but disproportiohey have extremely tiny legs; they are like monkeys orils. The way these guys swing so freely from tree to tree, tells me all I o know; I o get rid of them to survive.

  Activating my legato my spear and legs, I snowboost towards them.

  Seeihey let out ughs and swing towards me with crazed smiles on their faces. “If you think I am easy pigs you would be dead wrong!”

  One moves forward and swings its giant muscur arm towards me, but I am able to skilfully dodge, and with my spear in hand, I stab into its chest.

  But it doesn’t pierce through my spear simply gets stu the chest, and as I try to pull it out the monkey swings its arm at me.

  So as the tip of my spear, I create rge amounts of ice which kills the monkey easily, but then as I jump away from it another of the giant mories to hit me out of the air.

  I ’t dodge, so I o use it instead. I pce both of my legs on its arm and as it swings, I jump up and propel myself to a tree and then freeze my legs to it.

  Making a look of pain, I say, “I definitely broke something in my legs, but it should heal soon enough.” As the monkeys in the area surround me, I say, “I still am in a bad situation.”

  Suddenly I hear something in my ears, and as I hear this I notice the monkeys have stopped moving and are just hanging. That sound was like a low-frequency roar, I was only picked it up due to my ears.

  Then from the distance, I heard a bunch of projectiles ing towards me; it was Razordon ptes.

  I dodge away, but due to the fact I don’t want to get too close to the monkeys, os me and I fall.

  I am not affected by the cold so that’s noroblem, but if I am encased in ice, I still have to deal with the extra weight it adds to my body. Slowing me down to a halt.

  Falling to the ground, I position the part of my body that is encased io be where I nd, which breaks the ie.

  As I stand up, I fall bay knees and start holding my body. Whehe parts of my body infused with the judgment s get hit, it aggravates the pain it causes me.

  The predasaurs give me no time to rest, and immediately start to attack me again. The tors are weak but due to their speed, they are able to stop me from having any moments of reprieve.

  Hearing the footsteps of something much rger than the tors, I dodge away, and it pce where I was standing the ground is craved out.

  Looking up, I see a giant wonderbeast that looks like a big tor, but the colour of it is quite different. But most notable are the giant sharp bdes that are where its finger would be; It’s a kovosaurus.

  The kovo’s five fingers all biogether into one giant great sword on each hand, and he swings it super-fast towards me. try to dodge away but it is so fast, I have to use my spear to block.

  But it rips right through it. Seeing the spear that Sequoia gave me break fills me with rage, so I activate my legad create rge amounts of ice killing it instantly.

  Hearing a projectile different from the razordon’s ing towards me, I y arm and jumped away, but when the projectile hit where I was standing it exploded.

  That was a ball of densed air, it was a vanir mammoth.

  Hearing more two more balls moving towards me I create a pilr of ider me and go up high into the air.

  There I see it in the distahree vanir mammoths, but on aed nd mass over all three of them I see a Merark.

  A memory from Pine's css pys in my mind.

  Looking at a book of drawings for the predasaurs, I say, “Pine what is this one belled dangerous?”

  “It’s a Merark. They are a wildly intelligent wonderbeast, only o the king of the forest. But uhe king who overwhelms with raw power, they hunt just like us humans.”

  “But all of you are inhuman monsters, so I doubt this would be an issue for you guys.”

  “I don’t like that choice of words.” Sighing, Pine says, “About 200 years ago one of our chiefs, decided to hunt the 20 Merarks here to death. But as they headed out they found out that they were the ones who fell into a trap, and every single one was wiped out. So if you ever e across one run Orb.”

  I khat a bunch of people had been heading to iigate Fimbulwinter and subsequently dying. But that fact bothered me. If they could properly use spirit arts, and at least be somerepared for the cold they would survive, and this answers my question, this hunting pack is what has been taking them down.

  Numerous tors, 4 ats eaters, 2 kovosaurus, 3 astamatisaurus, 3 Vanir mammoths, 8 of the monkey wonderbeast, 1 spercera, 1 razordon and one Merark. Judging by the size of the merark retive to what it should be it is without a doubt an alpha merark.

  As I stare at the Merark it lets out a roar and the mammoths start to shoot at me. So I jump off the pilr and when I nd on the floor I push my legacy to the max and create lots of giant ice walls around me.

  Using this moment, I take stock of this situatiht now I am surrounded by a hunting pack of predasaurs, who have blocked my existence. I am without a on, supplies, or any backup; I o fight my way out.

  But all of the predasaurs here are for the most part resistant to cold. Usually when I freeze someoh my legacy, the frostbite all but assures that they won’t be getting back up, allowio be sloppier with my blows.

  That won’t work here, I o deal precise and critical blows on all of the predasaurs without a on.

  I could try helix battle arts. No, it wouldn’t work, I won’t be able to build up enough rotations to pierce through the thick hide of the predasaurs.

  I have to use Advent, but if I do my body will give out and colpse. I retly learhat Advent only taxes my body because I am weak, the more muscle I have gaihe more I noticed it doesn’t hurt as badly.

  But physically speaking, I am still below what I was when I first used it. So I doubt I could sustain it for a minute even if I try my best.

  If I even use Advent I would have to use a rge-scale attaake sure I defeat all of my hunters, but that will just attract more predasaurs around the area to e to check what happened.

  These wonderbeasts are savages who will never miss an opportunity to eat, so I t on some ing to scout the area. Even if I cover myself with a shield of ice there is no guara will hold, especially since a bunch of wonderbeasts from the upper levels have been wandering around, they could easily smash a wall made out of ice.

  Or I will have to use the strength from Advent to individually take them out one by one. But if I fail I would be in the same situation, and I still don’t guarahers won't e.

  I ’t trol the ice without advent, so what am I supposed to do to win against these odds?

  As the bst from the Vanir mammoths starts to break my ice wall, I feel panic overtake me. I o run, I o run, I ’t win!

  Suddenly a memory fshes through my mind, ohat has beeched into it sihe moment I happened. Skydust beiroyed.

  In this world there exist people who do such things in a single blow.

  Suzuka a Cursed child, Cyrus a dragon, the kids and wonderbeasts from Skydust, Avram's workshop, the Basileia crystals, the h Fimbulwinter, and all of Dushes money.

  I have tless things that people would want to take from me, and when they do they will destroy the people I want to protect.

  Spirit arts, a legacy, Helix battle arts; I thought having these things made me strohan I actually was, but I am sure many have those things, and when we csh I ’t be sure I will win.

  Right now I o prove to myself, that I overe the mountains in front of me, and that I protect all I have, that I bee the king of Niflheim!

  Standing up, I turn my ice wall into snow and then race forward. “I WILL WIN!”
