"Hey! Where are the scout team, aren't they back yet. "a man wearing a white cloth with a sword splitting insignia on his cloth.
"Sir, they are not back yet, they are supposed to be back 30 minutes ago. "Said a man wearing a black cloth with the same insignia on his cloth.
"So why didn't you came to me to tell me about it. "The man wearing white said.
"Sir, we thought that they will arrive, we didn't want to bother you. "The man wearing black said.
"Did I ever tell you I was busy with anything. The man said angrily, he then said. "Wait for 5 more minutes and if they fail to show themselves I want you and some other 5 member to go out to search for them. Did you get that. "The man wearing black said.
"Yes sir I understand.
"Now get out from my sight. The man wearing black said, when the man wearing white have gone the man then said. "Where could this stupid team be, did they want to put me in trouble, if the prince can find out about this I will be done for, I just hope for their sake they show their face in the next five minutes. "The man said and sigh.

Location - the dark forest
"Captain, do you notice the wierd energy spike in the forest. "A female wearing black with the insignia.
"Yes, I noticed it, so let's get out of this location before the dark beast notice the energy spike. The captain who is man also wearing black said.
"Captain, I think it's already late, they have already notice. The third person out of their group said.
"Adam, tell me what you see. "The captain said.
"I see a beast tide of dummy beast and attack beasts, their level should be around sage level of stage 3 and 4. "Adam said.
"What do you mean, explain more clearly. "The captain said.
"I meant that they are like a dozen of dummy beast of stage 3 and stage 2 and they are led by three attack beasts of stage 4. They are from the scavenger breed.
"It means they have sharp teeth, but have a weak defense. So every body start running, we are only the scout team, we are only meant to check and warn them of the beast tide not to fight them. "The captain said.
"Yes sir. "All the five scout members said.
As soon as they said it, they all start to run back to their base.
But as life is unfair, the beast tide caught up to them. For the next 5 - 10 minutes the battle between the scout and the beast tide rage on.
When it was finally over out of the five scout for remains and as for the beast, all the dummy beast died and the three attack beast escaped but not without an injury.
The captain wanted to chase the beast down to end them but when he saw the situation of his teammates he chose not to.
"Get yourselves together and let's go, or do you want to be left behind so the beast can make a feast out of you? So if not get up!!. The captain said.
"No sir. "After saying the word the team stood up ready to embark on their journey back to the 5th wall.
Soon the team disappear from the battle area.
.....
Location - a thousand feet away from the battle site.
After escaping from the scouts the attack beast went back into the forest, and on their way, they met a naked man in the Forest.
From their perspective, the naked man look like an easy prey, they could use the man as a soap to wash away their horrible defeat. So they all decided to attack.
.....
Eldris was walking through the forest trying to find a city or a kingdom anywhere in fact but he was already lost and also lost in thought.
As he was just thinking he heard crashing of trees, he could feel some vibration from the ground that was not there at first.
He wanted to hide but before he could hide the culprit appeared.
They where 3, they have a dog-like appearance, they have spike from their neck to their waist part, while their body emit dark poison, they where the size of a large bear.
When he saw the beast, he saw them staring at him, the staring conquest soon end not lasting even 5 seconds. Soon the beast came to an agreement. And that agreement is to attack him.
"Rrrrkh! Rrrrkh! Rrrrkh!" The beasts make some noise among themselves as they approach him slowly.
Soon they discard their slow approach and quickly pounce on Eldris.
Eldris body quickly change it direction on reflexes but not without leaving a mark. He could feel the attack coming but is body is unable to follow is brain command easily.
After Eldris escaped with the scratch on his body, he entered a focused zone. His star zone dominance activating subconsciously without him knowing. He just find himself getting in a zone where he could see everything, he could see where the beast is going, he could see everything that is happening in slow motion. But he notice that the beast skin is hard, and he feel that he don't have enough strength to damage the beast. So he look around trying to find any weapon in the surrounding, looking a weapon, he then remember that he have an ability that can make him form a weapon. And all this thought went through is head in less than 2 second.
While in this mode Eldris stretch his hand outward, from the surrounding sand started to flow near his hand. While this was happening the beast could feel that whatever is happening would not end up well for them.
So they charged at Eldris, missing him by an air breath.
When Eldris saw the beast he dodged, weaving their attacks and luckily for him his chosen weapon have finished forming.
When the beast saw Eldris weapon they got angry and this time they did not only charge, but also spit out poison dart from their neck.
Eldris did not only dodge this time but he also attacked. But with every attack the beast kept getting fiercer. The beast could see that play time was over, every attack they throw at Eldris his to destroy him. Now the beast are showing their true predator selves in a aim to kill the prey.
If not for his star dominance and his Sand sense he would have been killed on the first attack.
The beasts keep running after Eldris while still throwing out poison dart from their neck. As for my guy he just continue running doing unbelievable stunt to save himself. Only when he reach a river did he stop.
Eldris could see that their is no way to go. Eldris could see that if he tries to swim the river, he would only be delivering himself on a Christmas wrapping to the grim ripper. So he chose to have his stand and hopefully not his last hurrah.
Eldris glared at the beast, which he is sure were smiling. He could see that the best thought that this his the end of the road for him, that their prey has finally been caught. But what the beast did not know his that he is the predator and they are the prey.
He could see one of the beast walking towards him with a casual step while having a punchable face as for the rest they all spread out, blocking any path to escape.
As the beast continue to approach Eldris just smile and started laughing, showing his full name tag and glory as a 'sucide maniac'.
The beast stopped, wondering what his wrong with their prey. But they continue choosing to ignore the mad laugh, thinking it was the prey accepting death.
Eldris then said. "Like bloody hell, I am going to die, I have much to live for and a wish to see through, even though the thought of death looks thrilling, I ain't dieing here". As Eldris said this an image showing a beast with 7 tail showed in his back.
The image could be seen looking at the beast with cold eyes, daring them to come closer. When the beasts saw the image they knew it was fake, but none of them is willing to test the water, they could see that if they are wrong they will suffer an horrible fate worse than death, so they just stood there still like a statue.
Eldris was clueless about the image that came out of his body. So when he saw the beast stiffed appearance he just thought that they were intimated by his crazed look.
Eldris charged toward the beast that were still stiffed, but we're starting to get lose, so he quickly reached the beast and strike at the beast, while dodging the spike from the beast. The beast was unable to dodge his attack he strike the beast with his weapon which is a bat( an harley Quinn bat).
The bat hit the beast at where the spike is located at, making the spike going inner, stunning the beast, in that moment he hit the beast on the head again and again until the body slumped dead on the ground.
He wanted to attack more but he heard a ding sound in his head that notify him that the beast is dead.
As soon as the first beast died, his faced showed a maniac smile like he was enjoying the battle. He then attack the two attack beast remaining.
Eldris ran to the beast at the right, but this was not easy like the first, this one have escaped from being stunned. This beast was angry and hoping to get a shot at vengeance.
