"Was this creature really born inside your Realm, Frank?" I asked, staring at the colossal mole-like bear monster.
"Yeah. Whenever I'm not here, time flows way faster. Monsters evolve into new species and multiply like crazy... Plant life's also flourished and diversified. This island used to be a tenth of its current size, and now it's trying to rival Australia," Frank said, eyes fixed on the beast. "Ah, it's coming!"
"GRUOOOHHHH!"
The Mole Bear roared, tearing a massive chunk of land from the ground and hurling it skyward. With a swipe of its claws, it shattered the mass into thousands of boulders, which rained upward toward us in a chaotic storm.
Going all out here wouldn't be wise. I was still partially "sealed," meaning I couldn't use my System or Skills. I wanted to grow beyond them.
That meant I had to overcome this foe without relying on any System-based abilities.
Not bad. Time to get serious.
