Osato raced like the wind the entire way. At full speed, he was little more than a blur. He no longer took secluded routes, instead sprinting along the main roads with all his might.
This caught Merlin by surprise. His enormous body was far too conspicuous on the main roads, but if he undid his beastification, he would no longer be able to keep up with Osato.
It was indeed a problem, but only a minor one.
"Trying to lure me into a crowd?"
Merlin immediately understood Osato's intentions. But once they entered a crowd, Merlin might come under attack, yet wouldn't Osato face the same danger?

Someone in the nearest city had already noticed the commotion outside. An alarm immediately sounded, and many powerful fighters began to undergo beastification.
But Osato was too fast, and he was at the peak of the fourth beastification form. Who could stop him? He swiftly entered the city, glancing back from time to time to check on Merlin.
They could not stop Osato, but the sheer size of Merlin's body was enough to strike terror into them. The small city did not even dare try to stop him. They let Merlin's Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon charge inside, smashing straight through the city wall and entering virtually unopposed.

But his hopes came to nothing. Even those in these small cities who possessed a behemoth bloodline had, at best, a mid-rank giant beast bloodline. Most were only at the second beastification form, and even those at the third beastification form were exceedingly
