The Human Giant

Just standing next to Yoze when his oppressive and heavy pressure leaked out made Timothy and the rest of the soldiers unable to raise their heads. 

The only person that came close to giving Timothy this amount of pressure was his Martial Grandmaster but even his master's felt lacking compared to Yoze. So Timothy could only pray that Yoze didn't rip him apart due to feeling embarrassed.

Seeing that Timothy was going to insist on carrying him, Yoze deeply sighed and prayed for Timothy not to break his back. When Timothy got into position to lift Yoze he realized that Yoze seemed to be much taller than he looked from a distance.

Standing around 6 foot and 3 inches, Yoze was considered to be a giant in the Grave region since on average everyone was a bit shorter than their counterparts from the Jade Mountain region who were right next door.

Timothy himself was around 5 foot and  7 inches tall and was considered to be average for men in this region but the average height for men in the Jade Mountain region was 5 feet and 10 inches. With a height disparity of 8 inches, Timothy looked more like Yoze's son compared to being his elder.

"Here we go," 

Not letting those thoughts distract him, Timothy first casually tried to lift Yoze but found out that he hadn't moved a centimeter. He tried again with much more strength and found out again that it wasn't enough to shake him. 

This time putting his entire strength and ability, Timothy's face turned blood red as he activated his Inner Blood Vigor to increase his strength. And finally was able to lift Yoze an inch off the ground before having to put him down due to him nearly passing out of exhaustion.

"Scholar Yoze, can I ask you how much you weigh?" Timothy asked as he tried to catch his breath.

"I weigh about 2100 pounds, that's all muscle by the way," Yoze said, impressed that Timothy was able to lift him. 

It must be known that it was harder to lift Yoze than to lift his weight alone. Simply because Mindless Legs and Mindless Blood Legs both were always using their upgraded Sticky Steps to keep him balanced and stuck to the ground. 

It would take someone to apply more than 5000 pounds of lifting force to lift him. For Timothy to be able to output that kind of strength meant he was a powerhouse of his own.

Timothy and the other soldiers all looked at Yoze like he was a monster. They couldn't believe that a human can weigh more than 2 tons and not crust themselves to death.

"I understand why you said that you would slow us down if we carried you. But we don't have much time, we need to go now!" After understanding that there was no way to carry Yoze, they could only hope that he was able to keep up.

Before Timothy even finished his sentence they all began running so fast that they disappeared from human sight. Yoze was able to keep up with their movements and guessed that they were traveling around 700 miles per hour.

"Luckily they aren't too fast, I can put on my armor and still follow them." Putting on his armor and taking his sword in less than a second, Yoze activated the full force of Mindless Legs and allowed his body to move on its own.

With a simple hop, Yoze immediately reached a speed of over 660 miles per hour. With a second hop, he traveled around 750 miles per hour, and with a third hop, he reached his peak speed of 800 miles per hour and was rapidly catching up to the soldiers.

After catching up to them Yoze slowed down to match their speed since he didn't know the way to Rockbell Village he couldn't lead the charge. Witnessing Yoze's crazy speed, Timothy and the others all breathed a sigh of relief before focusing on truly using their full strength.

Timothy's skin turned Blood red as his speed doubled but the others weren't to be underestimated either. 

Once River activated her full strength blood leaked out of her pours and covered her entire body and armor. Once she was completely covered, her blood was reshaped into a werewolf that was made completely out of her blood. She was able to transform all while keeping up with everyone else which impressed Yoze immensely.

The one who shocked Yoze the most with the use of their full power was Arther. When he went to full strength he simply turned into a bloody haze.

The activation of more than 10 Blood Masters going all out created a thick blood fog but unless one had strong eyes it would be impossible to see it given that it was also traveling at their crazy speed.

15 minutes later Yoze and the others were coming upon Rockbell Village when they saw that the village was on fire. They heard people screaming and the sounds of metal clashing with metal.

It was only when they grew closer that they saw the culprit that was destroying the village. It was a giant elephant-like creature that seemed to have armor-like skin.

Unlike their reputation of being gentle giants, every swing of this massive elephant trunk crushed tens of people into blood fog. The elephant released a heavy demonic aura that made one feel like they were watching a moving Mountain made out of steel.

This monster was truly demonic and terrifying as it seemed to be bored as it easily killed everything in its path. Whether it was a man, woman, child, or animal the monster simply crushed them to death. It wasn't even allowing anyone to escape this carnage as it threw pieces of rubble from the destroyed buildings to kill anyone who escaped the village.

One single monster passed through Yoze's, Timothy's, River's, and everyone else's minds. The monsters that every living creature dreaded meeting as once one encountered one meant that their fate was sealed.

"Demon!"
