Chapter 252: The Final Trial

Three years had passed since the great battle at the Valbarra Archipelago…

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed across the forest floor.

"We can't hold on much longer!" a teenage boy shouted. "All of you, run away!"

"Don't be stupid! How can we leave you behind?!" A teenage girl raised her hand to summon a Rank 2 Forest Wolf, helping the boy face off against the Rank 4 Alpha Bear that had suddenly ambushed their group from the rear.

The Forest Wolf tried to get the Bear's attention and even succeeded in doing so. However, it miscalculated the Bear's strength and speed and suffered a serious injury after being swept away by its sharp claws.

"Run!" the boy shouted as he grabbed the girl's hand, pulling her as he dashed.

Two of their members had already died from the Bear's sneak attack, leaving only the two of them behind.

The Forest Wolf tried to block the Bear's path, but it was of no use.
