Battle for survival in the barrenlands Part 2

"Elio, I think it's time... I can't stand losing you, we need to retreat." The dryad spoke softly as she held on to his arm trying to persuade him, but Elio kept his gaze on the battlefield. Making decisions was never his strong suit, but fighting was an entirely different matter as he was among the few battle hardened heavenly rank hunters present in the hybrid community.

Paying no heed to the dryad's cries to run away, Elio went in to intercept the incoming cryptid that just crushed their feeble first line of defense. Despite holding a resemblance to an animal like most beast rank cryptids, the bull-like creature's energy signature was evidently stronger than anything Elio had ever faced before.

Without stopping its rampage, the cryptid tore through the formation sending any hybrid in its path to fly in all directions. It's pointed horns impaling piercing through anything they threw its wrecking havoc in the defensive lines with every rampant movement of its head.
