Chapter 140 Finding the beast

Name:I created my own system Author:


In this situation you might think it will be easy to identify them since Apollo already found the beast however it won't be truly easy. They can't just randomly say the beast's name and it will be counted as an answer.

To trigger the screen where you need to put the answer, you need to see or locate the beast you need to identify. Without doing so even if you felt that there was something following you if you can't see it or even locate it then you won't be able to answer.

"Remember your lessons"

And like a broken recorder, they repeat the words Apollo said to him.

They tried to remember the lessons they had from beastmology and survival lessons. Yet they can't think of anything at the moment. Panic and anxiety are taking over.

"I am a bit worried about them"

Alicia said while he sat next to Apollo.

"They will need this in the future" he just answered while fixing his posture.

"Is it because of the alleged branches of the Monastery?"

"I don't really think we should call it alleged since one of the memories of the archbishop did somehow mention it. However, I didn't think much of it since it was vague and seemed unimportant, it turned out that the priest destroyed a part of his soul to limit the memories I could extract. It was also the case with the other archbishop I encountered"

"Alicia they need to get used to this, since our next enemy will be a magical beast"

"I know but I worry that this will tire their minds, it hasn't been long since they confront their past perpetrators"

"And they won against them"

"That is because their anger, hate and desire for justice were putting their head towards one goal, to eliminate their enemy. And the fact that you are there to assure them that nothing will ever happen makes them do whatever they please. However now is different, you clearly stated you will not help them"

She said while her eyes remained looking at the fourteenth students who closely cling to each other.

Each pulse seems to resonate through the canopy, intensifying the sense of isolation and deepening the enigmatic essence of our secluded surroundings.

I felt clouded as if a blanket had covered my ears and only the beating of my heart could be heard.

I have my friends with me however the feeling of solitude persists not until the sound of my raging heart is replaced by the rustling of leaves. As if something is walking or maybe crawling somewhere. Though I can tell that something is walking close to the ground.

They are everywhere I realized while continuing to discern the sound.

"Hoo..."

I breathed and filled my lungs with air trying to calm myself from the turbulent emotions that slowly eat me. My eyes were closed while I relied on my other senses to locate the location of my well-concealed enemy.

Find it!

Find that thing!

As my mind says those words, an image suddenly forms inside my head.

A robust and muscular build, typically larger and more stocky than magical leopards from the books. They have a compact, powerful build suited for climbing and hunting in dense forest environments.

Aside from its build looking at it closely its heads are robust with strong jaws, ideal for delivering a powerful bite to subdue prey. I can definitely tell it was a jaguar.

As I found one I soon discovered more, typical magical beast jaguars are solitary hunters however stalker jaguars are different they hunt in groups.

"I have an answer" I said and a screen floated in front of me.

Shakily I typed my answer and entered submit.

From the sound of rustling leaves and the patient and slow breathing of a predator, it turns into a shattering sound as if something broke. I smirked, and finally, I found it.
