Chapter 156: A strong...monster?

"Hmm...that is indeed weird." Moris said as he looked at Dawn.

It was weird that Dawn wasn't achieving evolution or something like that.

After all, he already killed strong monsters and weak monsters.

Even though they were weak, the fact that he could kill them together with the strong monsters was an achievement great enough for the battlefield to recognize.

What's more, there were so many monsters here that Moris could probably achieve evolution if he were the one to kill them.

However, a Strayman, Dawn, was not? That was just weird.

After all, Dawn was the king. He would have more chances to evolve as he was the king.

That was why it was weird, even for Moris.

It was then that Dawn spoke as he felt his body getting better by the minute.

"Hmm...I didn't expect that not even this wouldn't make me achieve that Duke rank or whatever that is."

Indeed, Dawn had not expected that he wouldn't be able to evolve.

He already calculated that he would achieve evolution after fighting all those monsters deep inside his heart.

That was why it came as quite a disappointment for Dawn as he was already expecting it.

The monsters here were just so many that it was sure that he would evolve, after all.

However, it's not like Dawn would sulk about it right now. After all, what already happened, happened.

There's nothing Dawn could change that, and he couldn't bring those monsters back to life.

He also couldn't bring back the time that he wasted on killing all those monsters.

That was why Dawn could just accept that he wasn't able to achieve evolution and move on with his life.

That would be the easiest way to go on about this...situation.

"It can't be helped. Let's go back." Dawn said as he felt that he could walk now.

He then turned around his body as he went back to the entrance of this place.

And as he walked, his feet stomped down the remains of the monsters that he just killed.

Their organs, flesh, and blood were piling up in the ground, but Dawn didn't care about that as he stepped on their corpses.

Of course, Moris was following right behind Dawn as he just kept his mind thinking.

'What should be the next hunting ground...'

Moris was only thinking that as he knew that the king would try to find some other hunting ground.

And it would be best if Moris could suggest something. After all, they wouldn't have to roam the forest.

They would have a specific target, and they may even avoid some...troublesome strong humans along the way too.

That was why Moris was thinking about this, but he just couldn't find an answer to his question.

And it didn't take long for the two of them to go out of this place.

That was the truth as Dawn could see the goblins who were waiting for him to finish.

And as soon as Dawn passed through the entrance, he turned his head this way and that as he tried to find the little goblin.

And when he saw the little goblin, Dawn quickly spoke as he looked at him.

"Do you have another secret monster pot or something like this?"

Dawn said as this was the only thing that he had on his mind right now.

After all, if Dawn could find another secret monster pot, it was more than likely that he would achieve evolution.

Of course, that's not for sure. After all, Dawn was not able to evolve from his first secret monster pot.

However, he would have a better chance of evolution if he could finish another one.

That was why Dawn wanted to know if there were any other secret monster pot.

However, it seems like reality was really disappointing even to the King of Goblins.

Why? It was because the little goblin didn't know anything about a second secret monster pot or something like that.

"There is no other secret monster pot. This is the only secret monster pot that the Tribal Chief has been keeping for years."

"I don't think there would have been another one."

The little goblin said as he tried to remember every single detail about monsters pots.

Of course, even though he already said that there were none, he still tried hard to remember.

After all, there might be something that he just missed or something he didn't understand.

What's more, he also wanted to provide more service to this new king of his.

As long as the little goblin could prove his use to Dawn, the little goblin was confident that he would have his desired safety.

He would also have the necessary safety and he would have the time he needed to become strong.

That was why the little goblin tried hard at this. However, even with that, the little goblin really couldn't find anything about a second monster pot.

"Really, there's no second secret monster pot..."

And when Dawn heard that, he started thinking of what he would do from now on.

Since there was no second secret monster pot, it would be a waste to continue lurking around in the east.

What's more, there were some enemies here that Dawn certainly wanted to avoid.

'It's not time to fight with them again.'

After all, Dawn was not strong enough to fight against them. He knew that very well from how he got defeated the last time.

"Hmm...We'll go back to the north." Dawn said as he made the decision to go back to the place where they were hunting before.

As Dawn was from the north, he was more comfortable hunting there.

There were many weaker monsters, but Moris could definitely take care of most of the problems there.

That way, Dawn wouldn't have to mind threats from afar and his allies as he could just focus on killing the enemies in front of him.

After all, Moris would be able to take care of that.

That was why Dawn decided to back to the north.

However, it seems that Moris had something in mind as he spoke to Dawn.

"Your Highness, if I may..." Moris said as he waited for permission to speak from the king.

Dawn then turned his head around as he raised his hand. It was the signal for Moris to continue what he was saying.

After all, Moris was the one who suggested this trip to the east. It wouldn't hurt to listen to his knowledge or opinions.

And when Moris saw that signal, he spoke once more.

"There is a strong monster lurking in the forest somewhere around the east and north."

"It is a strong monster, and it is so strong that even I am not confident in beating it."

"That is why I believe that you'll be able to evolve if you fight against that monster and beat him."

"It would also cost less time and effort as it is just roaming around here."

"Of course, we may have to go back to the north, but I believe that the monster would be here around this time."

Moris said that without missing a single beat. And as soon as he finished saying that, a voice resounded out in this place.

"Ahh! Are you talking about the Lion Tiger?"

That voice said, and when the goblins tried to look for the source, they soon saw the little goblin looking up to them.

Of course, as the little goblin was from the east, it would make sense that he would know about what Moirs was talking about.

After all, Moris said that the monster roams from east to north.

"Yes. I'm talking about the Lion Tiger that roams this place, and I am sure..."

"I am sure that Your Highness would be able to achieve evolution after you duke it out with this monster."

Moris said as he bowed his head towards Dawn's way. Although what he said was a good thing, it...wasn't that good news.

Why? It was because Moris said that even he couldn't beat the Lion Tiger.

And if he couldn't beat the Lion Tiger, there's no way Dawn could defeat the Lion Tiger.

What's more, Dawn was even weaker than he was before. It was clear as day that this hunt to the Lion Tiger would be just plain suicide.

Of course, Moris knew that as well, which is why he spoke once more.

"I'm sorry for saying this late, Your Highness. I didn't think that the secret monster pots of the goblin tribes wouldn't be enough."

"I didn't want to tell the Lion Tiger as it is too dangerous."

Right, Moris didn't want to suggest hunting the Lion Tiger because it was too dangerous, even if Moris were with Dawn.

Of course, even if the whole goblin village were to be the ones initiating the hunt.

However, it seems that Dawn didn't care about that as he spoke.

"Interesting."

Dawn said with a smile on his face.
