Chapter 131: The Beast of the East

———————————————-

That loud sound reverberated close to my ears. It was the sound of Hydra’s head, pounding the ground, while showing its teeth as if to swallow up Goff, at once. It was the result of making the bastard’s head to miss the target with Goff using the shield. He seemed to have been more skilled than I gave him credit for at using the shield

What was most important for the main unit was to be patient. The most important thing was to endure for the warrior that had jumped in to protect us. Two more individuals rushed out as soon as the two heads, on either side of Hydra, have once again fixed their focus on Goff.

They were Orbo, the Minotaur warrior, and Gara, the twin headed Ogre. As he was the odd one, with his minds divided into two, it was quite difficult to put him in charge of things, but his field of vision was very broad as he had the advantage of having two heads. Being able to attract the attentions of others to him, while being able to seek out something else by turning his focus elsewhere at the same time, was the best advantage that he had.

It was an impossible technique for a human being. However, another reason for choosing him to be a tanker was because his ‘unique capability’ was quite useful. It was a unique capability which wasn’t seen in humans before.

The unique capability of the ‘red medicine addict’ was ridiculous, but having two heads, he had an optimized body for drinking potions. While one head was busily engaged in a battle, the other head could drink a potion, and was even able to spew out potions from both mouths should he sustain a powerful damage.

His ability to regenerate, stemming from the ability to maximize the effects of the potion through his unique capability, was truly awesome.

“Ah... it hurts! Gara is in pain!”

“Gara eats red medicine! Eats red medicine!”

“Chrrrrrrish”

With that sound, the ground melted and smoke rose, and the ‘standard range’ was determined with that. That was, the range of the bastard’s breath was determined.

“Here...Here is the maximum range. All you have to do is to maintain this distance even if the beast of the east attacks while approaching closer.”

“This time...The bastard’s pace...”

The work of measuring the pace of the bastard’s strides was conducted. Appearing from under the foot of the beast of the east, Goff and the warriors caused the bastard to turn its head to the opposite direction, and began to retreat back. As anticipated, the beast of the east began to chase after Goff, and Hakajin began to measure the pace of the beast’s strides as he watched.

It was probably an easy work for Hakajin who had even almost perfectly drew the forest worm’s cave from above the ground. Calculating the margin of error was, once again, left to Lee Wanyong. Hakajin spoke as if to signal that he has understood while he tapped his head with his fingers, and Lee Wanyong nodded his head again. Of course, the two could not understand each other as Jung Hayeon was interpreting in the middle, but I, too, unconsciously thought that they were working fairly well with each other.

While Goff, Orbo, and Gara were collecting data from the beast of the east, we were getting ready for a battle with everything we had.

I was able to, somewhat, understand as to why the humans would form and operate separate strategic support team when they hunted large beasts. The Lee Wanyong’s saying that a raid is science didn’t come about for nothing. The humans, who have been living since the Middle Ages from the beginning, would not have been able to analyze it this far, but certainly, the humans that were summoned from the Earth were different.

There were people who were easily scared, unable to come together, and easily betrayed others like Lee Wanyong, yet even he was quite smart. Should there be humans who wanted to come together and advance, the thought that they would pose serious threats to us, the Green Skins, came to me.

“The... The luring appeared to have worked... And all the needed data seemed to have been collected. It would be safe to be mobile a little bit at a time, using our current position as the basis.”

“Good work.”
