Ryu was determined to leave this place, and he wouldn't allow anyone to stop him.
His killing rate skyrocketed, his hands moving faster and faster. Most couldn't even see him coming before they found their lives fading. Ryu was simply the only one who would both spread his Spiritual Sense so wantonly and be completely unaffected by the surrounding beasts.
Others were too scared of beasts sensing their Spiritual Sense and using it to track them, and they most definitely didn't have a beast to rely upon that would scare away all others like Leonel's would.
By this point, Ryu's Chosen Rune had already pulsed out three more times and his kill count had crossed a hundred. If there was a leaderboard, he would by far and away be first. At the same time, he rendered the pulsing of the Chosen Rune practically useless.
