An Owl's Rise

Beasts coming at her from all angles, Evelyn realized she had caused a very dangerous situation.

Certainly, she was strong, and even against a low tier tyrant rank beast she was somewhat confident in escaping. But she could sense hundreds of presences converging.

Battles were already breaking out all over the place from the agitated beasts that her indiscriminate blasts of fire and wind against the Destaphias had worked up.

Soon she found the pod of flying dolphin beasts coming for her, but before they got any closer, a large crab launched itself off the side of the wall and broke their formation.

A quick glance and Evelyn could tell this was another low tier tyrant rank beast having come to pick off the weaker beasts.

With a blindingly fast motion it had gripped ahold of two of the dolphins and crushed them in its claws.

The rest of the pod began angrily circling around it. Not caring that it was stronger than any of them.

Unfortunately, this was not the only fierce battle going on around Evelyn. And while she was distracted by what was going on with the flying dolphins and crab that was at least three times bigger than the largest tanks, the two headed goat caught back up with her. The body of the large gorilla pierced through n the horns of one of its heads.

It seemed that the first beast that had come after her was very intent on catching her, and Evelyn had a fairly good idea why.

If it had sensed just how impressive her flame was it might have thought it could take it for itself, or that perhaps eating Evelyn beast core would give it greater power.

'Damn it, another one.'

This time from above a new tyrant rank beast descend upon the area and cut Evelyn's ascent off.

Now hovering above her was a large blue dragon fly that was nearly eight feet long.

It was actually one of the smaller beasts that had appeared, but there was no doubt that it was also a low tier tyrant beast from the aura it gave off.

Its eyes seemed to focus on everything around it, and with incredible agility it launched itself towards Evelyn.

At the end of its legs, it had sharp claws which left mist in their wake.

Seeing this, Evelyn realized that it was imbuing its attack with ice magic, and that whatever got hit by it would be frozen solid.

Evelyn could barely keep up with the attack coming for her and she needed to use a fast and risky maneuver to avoid it.

With practically no time she simply created a jet of flames behind her that she compressed with wind and shot away from the dragon fly.

Yet even with all the speed she could muster, its freezing claws still grazed her, and her entire back was covered in a layer of ice.

Pain from the cold immediately assaulted her, and for a second it felt as if she was being burned. An experience she had not had since obtaining the crimson heavenly flame.

However, while she was feeling the burning pain from the cold, it was actually the least of her worries.

Her reckless maneuver to avoid a direct hit had her shooting off towards the wall of the gorge.

She did what she could to slow down, but the ice on her back made it much harder to flap her wings and just wind magic alone could only slow her down so much compared to the burst of speed she had gained from her jet propulsion.

But around twenty feet before she crashed into the gorge, she smacked headfirst into something else.

A moment later she crushed it into the wall, and while it was not an overall soft impact, the dolphin acted as quite the cushion and heavily lowered the damage she would have taken.

'Ugh, I am glad that my fortification potion is still in effect, or else that would have been way worse.' Evelyn thought as she pulled herself out of some rubble and shook her head off.

The force of her crash into the dolphin and then the wall of the gore had caused rocks to fall down on top of her, but by some miracle she had not fallen too far and landed on a large ledge.

Laying next to her was the flying dolphin that had cushioned her crash into the wall, and while it was not dead, its eyes were rolled back, and blood was flowing out of its mouth.

'Oof, and its tail is bent at an unnatural angle. Sorry, but your sacrifice will not be in vain. I will keep on living in your stead.'

With one final swift shake off, she dislodged herself completely from the wreckage around her and looked over the situation.

Numerous battles were still going on all over the place.

This section of the gorge had turned into a massive free for all with hundreds of beasts ranging from the mid-tier of the awakened rank to the low tier of the tyrant rank participating.

Just the damage from the stray attacks had warped the gorge forevermore, and Evelyn felt a bit bad about all the damage she had caused by stirring things up.

'At least I do not have to worry about hat two ahead goat of ice dragonfly right now.' Evelyn thought.

The two tyrant rank beasts were currently going at it with each other and busting out some powerful attacks that were as strong, if not more so than what Evelyn had seen Anneli and Katrina dish out.

'Well, while they all fight and have forgotten about little ol me, I can make my exit.'

Moving inconspicuously, Evelyn reapplied an invisibility talisman since the previous one came undone when she hit by the Destaphia.

Except what she had not expected was that the activation of the talisman itself would garner the attention of some of the beasts.

Suddenly she had a target on her back once again, and just being unseen did not make her truly undetectable.

Plenty of the beasts had heighted senses that allowed them to hear, or even smell where she was. Despite the scent masking talisman she still had in effect.

Others even had more accurate ways to find her. Like the blue dragonfly that could sense the movement of the wind within a certain area around it, and the flying dolphins that had echolocation.

Without warning Evelyn found herself under attack anew, and she had to take evasive action to avoid being heavily injured.

'Screw it. You can all enjoy ten times gravity.'

Up to this point Evelyn had been avoiding using her gravity field much since it could burn through her magical energy, which was already a bit low from her earlier barrage of flame and wind attacks against the Destaphias. But right now, the situation demanded it.

Under the pressure of the ten times gravity that Evelyn spread out, plenty of beasts lost their bearings and plummeted down.

Foot holds that were able to support them a moment ago lost their strength and broke away, wings were unable to compensate for the increased wight fast enough, and those relying on magic to stay in the air had to pour it out to offset the force from Evelyn's gravity field.

Taking all the beast by surprise, Evelyn figured she had made the perfect opening to escape. When the worst possible scenario she could think of happened.

Dozens of robed figures began descending down the walls of the Elmot Gorge, and Evelyn felt fear grip her as humans start unleashing spells against the beasts that were being restrained by her power.
