As Dave dispatched the last of the beasts, he caught sight of a new wave of Ignarok emerging from a single direction. The ground seemed to tremble beneath their paws, and the air was filled with the thunderous sound of their collective roar.

The beasts poured in like a dark tide, their numbers swelling with each passing moment. Dave’s eyes narrowed as he watched the beasts surge forward, their fiery manes filled with a blur of motion.

"Where are they coming from?" Dave muttered, his voice low and urgent. His hands were slick with a mix of black blood and his own, the metallic scent of it filling his nostrils. Despite his great strength, he couldn’t help but sustain some slight injuries.

His knuckles had been bruised and battered, his skin torn and raw from punching all of the beasts with their flame manes. But he pushed on, his endurance allowing him to ignore the pain as he punched and killed the beasts with ruthless efficiency.

Still, the question nagged at him. Where were these beasts coming from? If he could find the source, perhaps he could destroy it and put an end to this endless tide of monsters.

Dave’s gaze scanned the horizon, his eyes searching around through the smoke, dust and large buildings as he tried to figure out where the beasts were coming from. His mind worked overtime, piecing together the clues as he continued looking around, even as he attacked each of the beasts. That was he found it. He had immediately spotted where the beasts were all coming from.

Then, with a determined stride, Dave set off towards the direction from which they were emerging. He sprinted forward, his feet moving swiftly through the ground as he followed the trail of the Ignarok beasts.

The beasts, sensing his presence, began to turn towards him, their eyes fixed intently on their target. The air was thick with the smell of sweat and smoke, and Dave’s scent seemed to ignite a fierce response in the beasts. They gave chase, their paws thundering against the ground as they pursued after him. But he was too fast for them to catch up.

As Dave ran, the landscape shifted from desolate streets and fallen buildings, to a vast expanse of sandy beach. The sound of waves crashing against the shore filled the air, and the salty tang of the sea mingled with the acrid smell of smoke and sweat.

Dave’s eyes scanned through the horizon, as he took in the sight of multiple Ignarok beasts gathered around something on the seashore. The beasts gathered in a circular formation, their fiery manes a testament to their power.

Yet, he noticed that the beasts, although the same breed, they varied in size, some larger and more imposing, while others were smaller and more agile. Yet, despite their differences, they all shared the same mesmerizing flames that danced around their manes. Dave watched, fascinated, as the beasts stood guard, their eyes fixed intently on something in the center of their circle.

What were they protecting? Dave’s curiosity was piqued as he observed the scene before him. The beasts seemed to be defending something, but what it was, he couldn’t quite see.

His gaze narrowed, focusing on the center of the circle, as he tried to catch a glimpse of the mysterious thing. But he was finding it hard to see what it was.

As he continued to observe the beasts, his gaze drifted downward, and then, he noticed a large crater beneath their feet. The earthy scent of disturbed soil wafted up, mingling with the acrid smell of smoke and char. The crater’s edges were rough and jagged, and the beasts seemed to be standing guard around its perimeter.

A memory flashed in Dave’s mind, he remembered the meteor that had hit him, which in turn had created a massive crater at the place where he had awoken.

He also recalled Chris mentioning something about craters and mother crystals back then. According to Chris, mother crystals often formed in the midst of these craters, imbuing the surrounding environment with powerful energy.

Dave’s eyes narrowed as he pieced together the information. The beasts’ behavior made sense now, they were protecting something valuable, something that could potentially give anyone an upper hand in this mad world. The mother crystal!

As Dave watched the beasts, he became more convinced that his theory was correct. The way they stood guard, their fiery manes a fierce halo, suggested that they were defending something precious.

The crater beneath their feet seemed to be the key to it all. Dave’s mind whirled with possibilities, his eyes fixed intently on the crater as he contemplated his next move. The beasts, sensing no immediate threat, continued to stand vigilant, their eyes fixed on the surrounding environment, waiting for any sign of danger.

The thrill of the unknown drove Dave forward, his determination to claim the mother crystal unwavering. Despite the uncertainty surrounding its powers, he was willing to take the risk. The promise of items from the crystal was too enticing to ignore, and he had set his sights on obtaining it at all costs.

As the beasts that were chasing after Dave closed in, their thunderous roar grew louder. They were almost upon him, but Dave’s focus remained fixed on the mother crystal, his plan was to claim it as swiftly and decisively as he can.

At that moment, the beasts guarding the crystal, had started sensing his presence, and soon they had begin to stir. They lifted their bodies off the ground, their eyes fixed intently on the new threat as they let out a low, menacing growl.

Compared to the beasts Dave had fought moments ago, most of these ones seemed smaller, their sizes and demeanor suggested that they were the basic level Ignarok. Dave’s gaze swept over them as he analyzed each of them.

Dealing with these basic beasts, along with a few intermediate ones, shouldn’t take him long, he thought. However, he was unaware of what he was just about to face.
