'As expected, she has a general idea of my location,' Alex thought while looking at his map.
The red blinking dot labeled with Diona's name moved toward him. Her monster army also spreads out strategically. From the looks of it, they were planning to trap him in an encirclement.
Alex was confident about defeating Rank 3 Monsters and below with ease. But Diona's Rank had only regressed to a Rank 5 Beast Conqueror. In other words, she could still control Rank 4 Monsters.
As a mere Rank 3 Oathkeeper, Alex was bound to struggle fighting against Rank 4 monsters. Of course, he could defeat them.
However, it would take him significantly more time. Enough time for the Hunters to pinpoint his location and mob him to oblivion.
Alex's strategy was simple. He wouldn't venture too far from Etherion Village. In fact, he planned to stick as close to it as possible.
