204 Ch. 204 'Alpha's Prey'

They still did not realize their lives were in danger and patiently await the appearance of Niken and the two Elementalists.

One of them was waiting behind a large hill to the tunnel's right, while the other was hiding in a tree.

Alpha decided to target the person hiding in the tree because that person's position was closest to the creeping beast.

Alpha ordered a wood python to catch the person and bring him to the nest.

Before that, he had ordered a poisonous bee to sting the person. The sting could make a person paralyzed right away. The senses of sight, smell, hearing, and sound will not function instantly.

The man did not even realize that his neck had been stung by a poisonous bee. Without knowing it, the man had become motionless like a statue.

The person suddenly panicked because his vision had darkened, but he couldn't move or make a sound. He knew right away that a beast had hypnotized him. He immediately activated his magic to destroy the illusion to get out of it.

Unfortunately, he did not know that the poisonous bee stung him and rendered him immobile. He wasted his magic energy in vain while the python had reached his position and coiled around his body.

If only he knew that there was poison in his body, he would quickly use a poison neutralizing magic technique.

Being a member of the Ace force's elite units, each member must be responsive to the dangers they face, especially to illusions and poison.

They have mastered magic techniques to get out of the world of illusions as well as neutralizing the poison in their bodies.

Undoubtedly, this person was one of the pureblood wizards who had survived during the massacre.

On the contrary, his partner wasn't a wizard but a metal Elementalist.

Because of that, Alpha chose to face the Elementalist head-on and not order the other beasts to help him catch this second person.

A pureblood wizard was very tricky if Alpha has to head-on directly. Only his master was able to fight the pureblood wizard. That's why Alpha made a sneaky attack and cunningly caught the wizard with the other beast's help.

Another case with metal Elementalists. Alpha was more than capable of taking on ordinary Elementalists. He even felt sure he could defeat Elementalist knights, let alone only ordinary Elementalists.

Alpha had no intention of hiding his aura made the Elementalist swallow nervously when he sensed the black Alpha's presence.

The person looked back and was shocked to see a terrifying monstrous black wolf with red eyes walking towards him. He could even see saliva dripping from its snout as if the black wolf had not eaten for days.

It seemed that the person was too shocked, too scared, and did not expect to meet the black supreme Alpha to make his brain unable to think clearly.

His reaction was very slow, and by the time he regained consciousness to run away, it was too late.

Alpha has pounced on his head and sunk its teeth to his neck. The person had not even had time to scream or ask for help and died in an instant the moment his head separated from his body.

The smell of fresh blood spread everywhere, inviting the night creatures to come to the origin of the scent of blood. But when they saw the Supreme Alpha eating its prey solemnly, not one of them dared to approach.

Alpha finished his meal and quickly left the Elementalist's bones before Niken and the Elementalist knights came out of the tunnel.

After that, he left the bones for the bone eater creatures that had been observing him.

As the name suggests, the bone eater was a night creature that eats the prey's bones that other beasts eaten as leftovers. Their appearance was like humans with two hands and two legs, but the head's shape was like a rhinoceros, and there was no skin or flesh on their body.

Their bodies were made of bones that stick together. Their ultimate weapon was their bones, which could lengthen as well as shorten. They could change the shape of their bone body at will.

Meanwhile, Alpha was enjoying his second meal in the python nest. 

When the pureblood realized that he was poisoned and was about to activate a poison-neutralizing technique, the python had squeezed his body and crushed his body, leaving the wizard to suffocate to death.

As Alpha enjoyed the second meal, and the bone eater consumed the metal Elementalist's bones, Niken and the two Elementalist knights came out of the tunnel's end facing the sea.

Niken opened her mouth wide to see a blue sea twinkling as if there were stars scattered on the water.

Every now and then, she saw a shark-like fin on the surface and then dived back down.

The three of them walked to the center area, searching for the weak night creature while Niken gasped in awe of what she sees.

The atmosphere of this place at night was very different from the daytime.

There were so many fireflies flying beautifully over the flowers. Niken could see that there was a thin mist of colors dotted around them.

The atmosphere in this place seemed much more magical than during the day. Why don't they just visit this place at night?

While Niken was admiring this place, Kazuto's expression became tense as he smelled something.

The smell of blood.

Not beast blood here, but smells of human blood.

"Do you smell it too?" apparently, Lionel could also smell fresh blood that only humans have. "Looks like there are other humans besides us here."

"We'd better get back. The smell of humans would only make the night creatures more aggressive. We never know what kind of creature will come our way."

Lionel nodded in agreement and immediately turned to look for Niken. Alas, they couldn't find the figure of Niken's, making Kazuto's heart stop at that moment.

Where's Niken?
