As they continued to run, the creature ripped out and threw a piece of the Land in their direction.
Larvan's ring automatically activated, pointing an arrow growing bigger as the piece of the Land drew closer.
Wooosh--
Baam!!!
RAAAW!!!!!
The piece of the Land landed right behind them, bouncing them up, crashing forward.
Aaaaah!!
They shouted as it nearly hit them, the piece of the Land that was thrown was as big as a mountain, and they hurriedly stood up running as they looked back at it.
The creature, far away, moved closer and closer to them, its movements slow and steady, and covered greater distances.
They ran and ran as fast as they could, looking forward, the three of them close together and the guide right behind them.
"Is that the one that was chasing you guys?!" -Serree exclaimed.
"No! That one is huge compared to the one chasing us!" -Larvan shouted.
"That one may have been a newborn, being that huge! Its movements are all instincts based!" -Nax claimed.
WRAAAA!!!!!
The whole Land shook as it roared, and the group stammered.
Larvan saw the arrow point at the cleaner, split into two, the one slowly getting bigger as it got closer, and the other was getting bigger faster.
He knew something dangerous was fast approaching, and in that moment, the strong will surrounding Larvan's body diminished, leaving only a portion, and focusing the rest on his head, to hasten his reaction time and look back.
What Larvan saw widened his eyes, it looked like a huge pillar to him, going straight at them, but he knew it was the cleaner's limb trying to reach or crush them as it kept moving towards them.
"Guys!!!" -Larvan shouted.
The two looked back at Larvan as he shouted, both seeing what was coming at them, widening their eyes in shock, at that moment, Larvan had a plan, he abruptly grabbed both Nax and Serree's arms, using all of his strength and will, then rotated like a spinning top gainning momentum.
"What are you doing!!" -Both Nax and Serree exclaimed.
"Trust me!" -Larvan reassured.
Larvan used the spinning momentum to throw Nax and be dragged together with Serree away from harm, but Larvan knew it wasn't enough, so he decided to throw them both closer to the door using the momentum to its fullest.
Boom!!!!!
Its limb crashed, creating a crater with a splash of debris and rubble.
Larvan's item activated, pointing at the debris heading in his direction.
Thankfully, both Nax and Serree reached the door unharmed, thanks to another limited use item that she has protecting her and Nax, but the debris managed to hit Larvan hopelessly, since he was in mid air and could not think of any means to dodge, curling up holding his legs, he braced himself for what was to come.
Had Larvan been with the two, he would have been protected as well and propelled together with them close to the door.
Nax and Serree staggered, holding themselves up, looking back at Larvan with a hazy gaze.
"Newbie!!!" -Nax shouted, as he forced himself up.
Nax helped Serree, who was next to him, up, both staggering as they reached for the door.
Nax opened the door, helping Serree cross it first, then followed behind.
He quickly looked back to see if Larvan was alive, and he confirmed it by seeing that the guide was standing next to a pile of rubble waiting and not continuing to walk towards the door to get out, cause if so, it means that Larvan had died, and the guide would go back to their Land, to guide others.
"Newbie!! Come on! Wake up and move it already!!" -Nax shouted in desperation.
Serree was still disoriented and could not think straight, holding on to the walls of the corridors, both of them couldn't leave and abandon Larvan being in a contract with him, for Serree it would be the contract, but for Nax it was not just about the contract, even though brief, he had considered him a friend.
"Newbie!!!!!" -Nax shouted with all his might, his right hand holding next to the door.
The shout caused Serree to tilt her head back a little, and closing her eyes instinctively, she slowly cleared her head while moving closer to the door, and looked back at Larvan.
She gritted her teeth, thinking that this would be considered a breach of contract and would result in both of their deaths, regretting not bringing more limited use items, but then her eyes widened as she saw Larvan crawl out of the rubble, but the cleaner was closing in.
Raaaaaw!!!!!
A deafening roar.
"Newbie!! Come on!!!" -Serree shouted.
Larvan looked back as he crawled out to see the cleaner getting closer and closer, rushing to stand, wobbling as he got up, his entire body aching as he forced himself to run.
The guide followed beside Larvan as he ran.
"Come on!!" -Nax said while holding out his hands.
Larvan gritted his teeth as the pain all over his body continued to ache.
Haa..Haa..Haa
Larvan, running out of breath, ran for his life, trying to reach the exit door where his friends were, as he saw and felt the warning sign getting bigger, signaling the danger behind him.
"Come on!!! You can make it!!" -Serree said with a concerned face.
Serree's ring with a red jewel on it glowed, and a fire magically appeared before her hands. She raised her arm with fire floating on her palm, and the fire then grew and extended like a flamethrower, hitting and burning the cleaner that was as tall as a building behind the man running in front of it.
Raaaaaw!!!!!
The cleaner roared as it stood shielding itself for a moment from the flames.
"Run faster!!! I'll cover you!!" -Serree said as she slowly exhausted herself.
The cleaner then powered through the flames, even though it looked like it hurt, it reached out its limb as it slowly got near Larvan, who was running in front.
Larvan, running, holds out his arm to grab Nax's hand that was reaching out.
Boom!!!!!
A huge explosion held back the creature as Larvan just grabbed Nax's wrist and looked back, saw as the explosion took a chunk of the cleaner as it writhed in agony, moving back and forth and in circles.
Raaaaaaaa!!!!!
Raaaaaw!!!!!
"So this is where you've been running off to." -Said calmly by a man with an older, mature voice.
Both Nax and Serree looked in the direction of the voice in shock, eyes wide open at the person who just helped them.
"It's you! Master?!" -Nax exclaimed.
"The HSH's bartender?" -Larvan thought.
"Uncle Og!!!" -Serree shouted in relief.
"Og?! One of The 100 pioneers?!!" -Both Larvan and Nax shockingly said.
