Tave and Vanya sprinted through the dense underbrush, moving fast and low as they activated their stealth skills, vanishing into the shadows of the forest. They put as much distance as possible between themselves and the demons behind them.
The chaos they'd left behind was still evident, trees were shattered, chunks of earth torn apart. Some of the demons had slammed into the ground, others were still airborne, circling the treetops, scanning. But this time, Tave and Vanya had the energy. They had enough strength to move faster, much faster, than they had before.
Tave knew he wasn't ready to confront them head-on. Not yet. He still needed time, time to break through to Gaia Master. Facing this overwhelming number of demons in a direct battle would be suicide. Their sheer volume alone made that a losing scenario. No, stealth was the better choice. That was where his strength truly lay.
