Damien was correct. That thing indeed had developed senses beyond that of a beast which was not a surprise.
Mutated beasts had always been smarter and much more tactful than the normal ones.
Certainly, this giant worm sensed that the chances of him winning this battle were not high, so it was trying to escape.
Wistoria charged forward, she swept her claws at the Boreal Worm. As soon as she swept, the Boreal Worm went ballistic. Her claws barely scraped the shell of the worm.
"It seems to have a rather dramatic personality," remarked Damien as he watched Wistoria fend that thing off as she kicked, punched and overthrew the giant worm to the other side of the room.
Everyone turned to look at him causing Damien to mock blush. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Oh come on, I am not that good-looking."
...
Xavier shook his head with a disbelieving expression. He did not unsheathe his claws instead he charged at the Giant Boreal Worm with his sword.
Damien noticed that Xavier's sword glowed with a strange aura.
"What's that?" He questioned Luke.
The man seemed to have tiptoed his way behind Damien and despite using Damien as a human shield he seemed rather miffed over the fact that Damien had thrown his shoe at his face.
Though he looked upset Luke still answered Damien.
Who asked Damien to be Wistoria's husband?
But Luke did not forget to let out a haughty snort, "It's mana what else? Every beastman has his or her own mana, which they use while fighting or protecting oneself or others."
Luke then turned his head and gave Damien a grave look before saying, "Certainly you should know this right? Even if you have lost your beast nucleus, it is impossible for you to not know about the mana of a beastman."
Not to mention they also needed to keep that thing restrained in case it attacked Nicolas or anyone else present in the room.
Another set of bangs echoed in the room as that thing lept to one side. It was slightly trembling which showed that it was on the verge of collapsing, it must have realised it too because a second later it slithered over to the window on the side and —
CRASH!
The sound of glass breaking and scattering resonated in the room.
"Catch it! If it takes refugee inside another beastman it will be troublesome to find it!" Wistoria exclaimed as she chased after that thing, Xavier closely followed behind her.
"If that thing escapes, your mission will be counted as a failure," said Dan while Damien was watching Wistoria and Xavier jump out of the window.
"What? Why?" Damien turned to look at the little hologram who smiled and soon responded, "Treating an illness to its fullest is the job of a doctor. Do you think that you have committed to your duties?"
Damien looked down at the remaining ointment that he had made just now and gritted his teeth. He really did not want to get involved in such a dangerous situation but it seemed like there was no other choice —
Damn it.
He chased after Wistoria and Xavier. That damned thing, he had to kill it no matter what!
Upon seeing him run, Gilderoy turned to look at Luke and hummed, "It seems like the boy has more guts than we gave him credit for. At least he knows not to leave his wife alone in trouble such as this one."
"I hope he also knows how to save himself from trouble as well," stated Luke with a worried look on his face. "That man has no mana or beast nucleus. One hit from that worm and he would be sent flying. Don't you think so my lord?"
"After all, showing courage foolishly is not a good thing. It would be certainly humiliating if he went to save Lady Wistoria and ended up needing saving for himself."
Gilderoy wanted to refute but after a while, he pursed his lips. Because as much as he wanted to stand by his statement, he knew that what Luke had said was also correct.
