"Kill them!" Auric shouted, pointing to the right side.
Stella killed the beast in front of her before glancing to the right. As soon as she found the few beasts heading their way, she immediately headed toward them and struck them one by one.
This place might be a wilderness, but it wasn't too far from the city, so the number of beasts wasn't too high and the strength was only up to Rank 4. Even then, there should be only less than three Rank 4 beasts in the area, which Auric and Stella could handle.
Fortunately, they managed to make their way to the mountain without encountering a single Rank 4 beast. With Auric's keen eyesight, they managed to avoid a lot of unnecessary engagements.
Auric had considered bringing Maya and Ellia as additional reinforcements, but he didn't really want to get a lot of them involved, especially when it was something he could handle with Katarina.
