Chapter 1895 Soon to Arrive
"It continued attacking even after you flexed a Master-level aura," Kane replied, recalling that moment. "That was such an absurd decision. It's a Senior-level beast. Any Martial Master would eradicate it effortlessly. I'm guessing that retarded decision is related to what you said earlier."
"Yep, like I said," Rui tapped its head. "It was intelligent but slave to its aggression. You're going to run into some more beasts like this that do utterly insane things. That's what animals do. That's why deterrence doesn't always work. I'm sure you noticed that in the past month and a half."
Kane nodded.
The two of them had run into all manners of beasts and animals in the past month and a half. Different species had different genetic temperamental traits that often overrode any and all rationality.
Of course, even Rui had to admit that the rabbit king was a special case. He did not expect a Senior-level beast to leap aggressively against someone it clearly perceived to be a Martial Master. It was the height of irrationality that overcame even self-preservation.
"Another reason that humanity is able to bully the Beast Domain is because, as much as we fight amongst ourselves, it does not even remotely compare to the internal conflict between monsters of the Beast Domain. They view each other with as much hostility as they do humans," Rui replied. "If they were united then..."

He narrowed his eyes. "That would be a hellish situation for humanity." Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates
"Meh, that's never going to happen as long as they continue to have territorial disputes," Kane replied. "Right?"
That was part of Rui's plan for eventually finding the Divine Doctor.
"Come on, let's get going," Rui informed Kane after they ate and recuperated enough. "I don't want to waste any more time than we have."
He had an original five years when his father fell back into a coma from the Eternal Dream disease. He had spent around a year fighting the Kandrian Throne War and, after that, another two months to recover from his battle with the Gatekeeper. A total of two more months had passed since then. He only had three years and eight months left to find the man that he was looking for.
He was not eager to waste any more time than he already had.
The two of them immediately departed, traveling through the outskirts of the Beast Domain. The topography changed slowly and steadily as the forest they were in grew thinner and thinner on a gradient, and the lands beneath their feet slowly began growing drier and coarser.
"Any information on what we might be running into next?" Kane asked.
"The Adventurer's Guild's information doesn't have anything specific on this region," Rui replied, narrowing his eyes. "Stay alert; you never know what we might run into there. Once we cross this region, we'll have reached the Valley of Prisms."
The topography of the coming region became increasingly apparent. A desert began emerging over the horizon as the amount of sand beneath their feet slowly began increasing.
"Deserts are good," Kane nodded. "They are open and transparent and all. As long as you look for the sand, you're safe. With our senses, that should be all fine, right?"
Rationally, Rui was inclined to agree with that analysis. Yet, his instincts tingled as his eyes fell on the sands in the distance.
They drew his attention especially strongly. For some reason, he felt uncertain as he headed towards them. He could not feel any overt danger or peril from Primordial instinct. But something nagged at his instincts.
