The Guardian System: The strongest Summoner's quest to save his family Chapter 381: Straight Lines in a Crooked World (13)

The city shrank behind him, swallowed by the haze and the distance.

He was out. He had made it.

Reidar didn't look back. He kept the raven flying low, skimming the rough area of the badlands. The fear of being caught began to recede but was actually replaced by the more persistent anxiety of being stranded.

He had escaped the Ignis and the flying monster, but he was still on an alien planet, and his only way ho was a woman who wanted him dead.

If he didn't reach her fast, she might complete the portal and leave him stranded on this planet.

If Reidar didn't reach her soon, she might beco too powerful for him to stop, growing stronger with each passing mont as she absorbed the ambient mana saturating this world.

He had to reach her before she found what she needed and opened a portal back to Earth or wherever she planned to go. If she beca strong enough to kill an Ignis on her own, the entire equation changed dramatically in her favor.

She could harvest the catalysts herself without needing to scavenge from corpses, build her portal at her leisure without the constant threat of being hunted, and leave him behind to rot on this desolate planet with no way ho.
