With each of their steps, the ground shook and ice crackled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high mountains soon crumbled and were reduced to rubble, sending tremors throughout the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtarh, Tiama and Maissa were on the run as they tried to escape the devastating impact of the beast tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the beasts filled everything their eyes can see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can fly, should I take you…\" Tiama shut up midway as he saw the beasts that blanketed the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtarh kept his cool and said. \"We'll just need to not stand in their way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was their way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Literally everywhere their eyes can see!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, Ashtarh looked at them and said. \"It's not life threatening. Most of the beasts are weaker than us. But if we're caught in the tide, it's another story.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said and ran outwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtarh's speed was very fast, but the beasts standing in his way slowed him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even then, he avoided all the beasts he could and rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were some beasts, particularly those of level 6 that tried to attack him in frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His two scimitars reaped their lives and cleared the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiama and Maissa followed his lead and rushed out of the beast tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ran across the beast tide's direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Injuries were common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they passed through thousands of beasts, despite trying their best, they had to face many attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren't many peak level 6s, but there were plenty enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As such, by the time trio escaped the beast tide, they accumulated a lot of minor, but significant injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kruaah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Duh!

This beast tide was definitely provoked by one of the teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This team knew that Helia's team was here and also that they were chasing after them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they planned this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who else could it be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sarah's team should have used some explosives and provoked the beasts.\" Ashtarh exhaled and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I acknowledged her strength. But I overlooked her tactics. I didn't know she was this…shrewd.\" He said as he looked at his own injuries and his teammates' injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She should know that we won't go down with a beast tide.\" Tiama sat up and growled. \"We're stronger than that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. But she never expected to eliminate us.\" Ashtarh said slowly. \"It is…to weaken us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maissa and Tiama fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether they admitted it or not, their strength had dropped. They already took the healing potion, but they weren't going to recover to their peak anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could barely exert peak level 6 power now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A depressing atmosphere filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Maissa's eyes lit up and she said. \"Now, Charles and Xavier teams fight, Xavier team will also weaken. Sarah's team is the weakest. So, we'll all be even.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashtarh rubbed his chin in thought but didn't comment on her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go to the laden burrows. I guess Sarah's team is already on the way, eh. We'll settle our scores there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the three exited the Ice Region and entered the laden burrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** *** **** *** *** ****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastards!\" Sarah cursed under her breath as she looked at the thousands of beasts in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, they were some distance away from the mountains when this happened and were able to barely escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team suffered only light injuries and came out relatively unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, Sarah's face was cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An explosion, huh. Which bastard did this?\" As a level 6 Enhanced, she remembered the rumbling sound of explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she was not wrong, it was a thunder type explosive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The obvious answer would be Ashtarh Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sarah denied that without hesitation. With his personalty, Ashtarh wouldn't do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially to her team, which was weaker than his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All our messengers in the region are done for.\" William said with a bitter expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sarah, if it's not Ashtarh, then who is it? They need to get the thunder explosives, place it here.\" Philia frowned and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thankfully, they miscalculated the time. We got the flag early on. And we weren't even close to the mountain during the explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if…\" She paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were close to the mountain, they'd heavily injured. And if they were unlucky and got besieged by dozens of peak level 6 beasts, then there's a risk of elimination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xavier…damn it!\" Sarah clenched her fist. \"He is the one who can do this. He will work with you and also against you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go to the laden burrows. We'll settle the score there.\" She said and soon, the trio left the Ice Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** *** ****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? A beast tide?\" Xavier Bell rubbed his temples and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus stood in the distance as he closed his eyes and recuperated. The attack in the core region took a heavy toll on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he didn't respond to Xavier's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rodey checked his comm and exclaimed. \"Who did it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our messengers were all eliminated. But they saw Ashtarh enter the Ice region. My guess is Helia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rodey frowned and he said. \"That's disgu—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brilliant.\" Xavier cut him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pardon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier raised a brow. \"Brilliant. Helia was somehow able to provoke the beasts…without being present there. So, I guess she used explosives or sacrificed messengers. Excellent, I must say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\" Rodey stayed silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xavier shrugged. \"Perhaps you look down on her. But from the start, this was never a fair fight. Everyone has to do their best to win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes glittered as he said. \"We need to be careful of this woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know…Helia was long eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>",1048,"2026-06-06T07:58:11.288Z",1,"novelbin.me","45a2c6bca90e24b34b1ebad5dd183aeaff5f2e67b9e483b6fc59ba77f790b925","divine-path-system-chapter-297","divine-path-system-chapter-295",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
