Every chain around its neck and limbs had gone taut. It had reached the absolute limit of its

range.

The stench of blood rushed at Annelise, turning her stomach-but it was still within what she could endure.

She snapped her fingers lightly. “See? I’m fine, Rokky.”

“You are… but just barely.”

“That margin was exactly what I calculated,” she said calmly. “You can only really see clearly when you’re up close. Rokky, hurry-go grab the beast tooth now.”

“Y-Yes!”

Annelise focused on the creature in front of her. Beneath its long, thick fur-its massive body shaped like a bull-were eyes, narrow and elongated, and atop its head rose four horns.

“You’re… a Gorehorn.”

In “The Boundless Atlas,” there was a beast shaped like a bull, with eyes and four horns-the Gorehorn.

As the beast shifted, she noticed its ears as well-pig-like, unmistakably so. The text described it exactly the same way: essentially a colossal boar, immensely aggressive, man-eating, and far more intelligent than ordinary ferocious beasts.

Unable to help herself, Annelise reached out and touched the Gorehorn. Oh… the skin’s rough- hard, too. And I can’t feel any pressure points at all. Its eyes are completely clouded. It’s clearly not fully conscious… what happened to it?

Rokky waved his hand, signaling that he’d secured the tooth. Annelise nodded—but in the very next instant, the Gorehorn’twisted its head back. When it realized one of its teeth was missing, it charged back toward the ground beneath its body, snorting furiously as it rooted around.

Then it turned on Annelise, unleashing a roar thick with flying saliva. Its eyes bulged as it lunged at her with terrifying speed.

She heard a sharp crack.

Oh sh*t! Annelise threw herself backward. “Did a chain snap?!”

The beast slashed forward again and again. The rock Annelise had been standing on moments carlier was smashed to pieces, and only because she’d reacted in time did she escape.

Then came three more sharp cracks-crack, crack, crack.

All four of the Gorehorn’s limbs broke free.

It moved faster now. Its range widened instantly.

Annelise staggered backward until her spine hit the slope of a small hill. There was nowhere left to retreat. In a blur, Rokky darted in front of her. Before the massive claw came down, he blocked it with his arm and wrapped her completely into his embrace.

“Rokky!”

She felt her body jolt violently. When she looked up again, they were already in another but Rokky’s arm was gory with blood.

spot-

She rushed to check him. “God-such a heavy strike. It tore off a chunk of your flesh!”

Rokky shook his head, still trying to soothe her. “It’s alright, Ms. Crawford. I-I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt that much. But something’s wrong. Before we came, the chief specifically told everyone that no matter how strict the saintess selection is, the imprisoned beast would never break free of its chains. And yet… it did. If the chain around its neck breaks too, it’ll get out-and then it’ll endanger others. The whole tribe.”

Annelise felt the same unease. Every year, the chief personally brought mates to reinforce the chains here. Wear and tear shouldn’t have been an issue.

Then a name surfaced in her mind. Clara had been here from the start-and had split up from her mate.

“It was Clara,” Annelise said coldly. “Were the breaks in the chains clean?”

As if summoned by her words, the Gorchorn’s movement sent a broken chain clattering toward them, the shackle still attached. Annelise stared at the fracture-smooth and even on the inside, with clear saw marks on the outside.

She cursed under her breath. “That b*tch. She really never changes.”

Annelise pulled out a needle and pierced Rokky’s arm with practiced precision, stopping the bleeding almost instantly before pulling it out. “We’re leaving. Now.”

Rokky shook his head. “We can’t.”

He turned and hoisted Annelise onto his back. His body lowered into a forward-leaning stance, arms angled slightly ahead of him, his beast form fully alert-ready to move at any moment. “It’s hunting us. If we turn our backs on it, it’ll come straight for our necks.”

Annelise could see it too. Only the chain around its neck remained—and it was far too long. She bit down hard and muttered, “When we get back, I’m shoving Clara’s head straight into a latrine and holding it there.”

Right on cue, the Gorehorn leapt.

Rokky dodged again, but its massive tail swept through the area, flinging stones in every direction. Even boulders Annelise couldn’t have budged were sent flying with ease, forcing Rokky into constant evasive movement.

“Ms. Crawford,” he said urgently, “if I manage to grab it later, you run. Run straight out of the hills. Don’t look back. Do you hear me?”

“What about you?” she shot back. “Don’t rush-I’ll think of something.”

But the Gorehorn didn’t give her time. After another thunderous roar, it whipped its tail again, stones blasting through the air and nearly blinding them both.

By the time Annelise’s vision cleared, the Gorehorn was already charging.

This time, Rokky didn’t dodge.

At the instant it slammed into him, he seized two of its horns. The force hurled his entire body into the hillside.

“Ms. Crawford-go! Now! Just turn around and run!”

Annelise scrambled up the slope.

The Gorehorn surged forward-and in the next instant, two of its horns punched clean through Rokky’s body, dragging a spray of blood into the air.

Chapter 59 The Handsome Mister with Platinum Blonde Hair

Rokky coughed hard, blood spilling from his mouth.

“Rokky!” Annelise’s eyes flew wide.

“G-Go…” Rokky forced the words out. “I’m fine. It missed anything vital… hurry, leave!”

But how could Annelise possibly leave at a moment like this?! She sprang up and looked toward the Gorehorn’s back.

If the skin on its face is rock hard, what about its back?

Without hesitation, she sprinted forward, stepped hard on Rokky’s shoulder, and launched herself upward. She grabbed the Gorehorn’s other two horns and swung herself onto its back, straddling it as her fingers pressed together and searched downward along its neck.

“Pressure points… where are the pressure points? They should be more or less the same! Rokky, hang on a little longer-I’m not abandoning you!”

“Ms. Crawford!”

Rokky tried to move forward, but the moment the Gorehorn pulled its horns free from his body, blood poured out uncontrollably. He took one step before his vision went dark, and he dropped to one knee, clutching the wound and gasping. “Ms. Crawford… why did you come back?!”

The Gorehorn thrashed wildly, trying to shake Annelise off. Her body was tossed side to side.

• One hand clenched tightly around a horn, while the other finally found a patch of softer flesh. She drove the needle straight in. “Right here!”

After three rapid strikes, the Gorehorn let out a piercing howl and bucked violently, flinging Annelise away-straight off the cliff.

“Ahhhhhhh!” She completely lost it.

Am I seriously about to travel to another dimension?! Snowball just got here, and I’d only just finished winning over my mates-does it really have to be this dramatic?!

The last thing she heard was Rokky’s blood-choked cry before everything went black.

Some time had passed when Annelise sensed movement around her-very light, very careful
