Chapter 619 Change Of Plans
-Sorry, Master. The explosion caused by the escape attempt must have caused the Monsters to be drawn to this location.
-As Rey heard that, he sighed and shrugged.
'I already figured out that much. Still, to think so many would pour out at once! He could see at least fifty of the A-Tier Monsters in front of him, and they were all looking incredibly fat and healthy.
Watching them keenly, he even had a fleeting statement. "They kinda resemble T-Rexes..."
Despite his laid-back attitude and casual demeanor, Rey's inner thoughts and actions were far from the simple front he displayed.
"This wasn't how things were supposed to go! Glancing to the Elves behind him, his eyes locked on Deli-the de-facto leader of the Young Ones who made their escape.
"The real Deli is still in the Fortress, and the one with the Elves is Emil. The plan was to make her blend in among them and naturally enter the Elven Community to serve as a double agent.
Rey had already scanned the entire forest a while back. It was only about one-fourth the size of the territory of the United Human Alliance, and while it still took some time to fully understand the layout, there were still certain things he didn't understand until he had a closer look.
In order to achieve this, he decided to let Emil take the lead as an Elf and infiltrate the Elven Community while he watched from the sidelines and planned ahead.
As his Symbiote, he could always sense whatever she did, even if she was far away from him. As such, he would be aware of everything happening in real time.
As long as their bond remained, she could use his abilities and he could use hers as well.
In essence, there was no true danger involved.
"The goal was to integrate her so well into their world that she would begin to actively investigate the Shrine and the Oracle while I explored the other regions and confirmed the Natural Resources that Ater found here; hence killing two birds with a stone.
It wasn't that Rey had completely given up on an Alliance with the Elves, but he found something like that to be very unlikely given the circumstances.
'Instead of wasting my time and effort on useless peace treaties with these racists, it's best to find their leader and strike a deal with them.'
The Oracle was the only person in the entire Elven Community who was of interest to him, and he was going to strike a bargain with them.
'I don't know how the negotiation will go, but as long as I do not harm any of their people, even though they try to harm me, I should have no real disadvantage in striking the deal.'
"ROOOOOOAAARRRRRR!!!"
The Monsters all charged at him, almost as if out of fright.
When creatures are exposed to danger, there are two options; fight or flight. The inability to choose between the two results in the last option-freeze.
These Monsters did not have any complex sense of reasoning, and their hunger perhaps clouded their more sensible faculties, so they chose the former-FIGHT.
-BOOOOOOOM!~
Many slammed their tails and feet on where Rey stood, hoping to crush him swiftly and then feast on his mangled flesh.
However, their attempts were laughably unsuccessful.
"I'm getting the hang of this Zone Layering..." He spoke to himself, not even minding the Monsters
'Overlapping the Zones really makes it impossible for pretty much any of their attacks to hit. The only exception will probably be something that nullifies my attack, or if the attack is moving faster than the rate at which I layer the Zones'
With his analysis complete, Rey aimed his Divine Weapons and casually sent them forth with his mind.
'Spare no one!'
~WHOOSH!~

Thanks for reading!
Yes! I know what some of you are thinking. I'm thinking it too.
Our Mc has become an abominable mesh between the King of Heroes and the Strongest Sorcerer. It's funny indeed...
