The Chase Part-4.

Inside the SSA

'Hmm, it seems they are already catching up to me, I must acknowledge that Lia indeed has progressed a lot, those strange wings… they have given her an insane boost in speed…' (Rio)

Rio glanced behind him and he could already see the brightly shining silhouette of Lia's wings in the distance. Due to the dark clouds, the sun's been blocked thus her wings are shining even more.

'That cat is not an ordinary spirit beast, it must be at least an S-ranked beast for it to have the morphing abilities like that, it can be even higher…' (Rio)

'Lia alone is not enough, the main problem is that meat shield Link, sword intent might work on him but that guy has an insane amount of HP…' (Rio)

(By the way, Link already had 8000 hp when he was only at rank C, now he is at rank B+ his hp has increased beyond twenty thousand. He has ten times more hp than Rio. A true meat shield with maxed-out defense.)
