Chapter 307: Three Layered Plan
The giant spear of water arrived at the humanoid monster, but with a swing of the trident, the water pillar lost its aggressiveness, and formed a giant whirlpool in the air, above the trident.
You really think you can hurt me with water! An apostle of the Evil-Lord? The whirlpool started to turn faster and faster. In no time at all, it turned into a giant waterspout moving towards the crocodile. Of course, water was useless against it. Its scales defended against the attack, while the crocodile moved.
When it was only ten meters away from the beast, it swung its tail to the humanoid monster. The tail looked like an oversized mace. But the humanoid monster wasnt flustered. It reached out its hand and grabbed the tail. Its arm swelled and with a shout, the 20 meters crocodile lifted from the ground.
How strong that monster is! Xavic commented in fear. The Crocodile was 20 meters long, it must have weighed more than twenty tons, but the humanoid monster was able to lift it by the tail.
Look at the tattoo on his arm. It is shining with light. He must be drawing power from it. Zall pointed at the mermaid tattoo.
Hmm. It seems to be the case. That monster is much stronger than Frenzy-Rank. Miles nodded.
What will we do? Xavic asked.
Have you grasped the Veil? Miles asked.
Hmm. After you showed us, it was easy to learn. Zall nodded.
Alright, Xavic, I want you to approach the ship. When you are twenty meters away from the ship, use Veil and sneak into the ship. Then try to lure monsters outside. Miles said.
When he just stepped into the ship, more than 20 monsters left the orlop and filled the upper deck. Oh no! How can there be so many monsters? I thought the other monster was the only one. Xavic shouted with the worst acting ever, but it was part of the plan for him to act badly. Miles was expecting it to be this bad.
Monsters rolled their eyes and started to attack Xavic. Lightning surrounded his body and unleashed it to cover the area around him. When monsters were hit by the lightning, they all got stunned as Xavic tried to run into the lower deck.
More monsters climbed from the orlop and when the number was around 30, Xavic started to run to the forest.
Zall appeared after Xavic finished his task. He was much more cautious than Xavic. He covered his body masterfully with Veil, and none of the monsters following Xavic felt his presence. Of course, two pinnacle-tier monsters still felt him vanish from their radars. Even the humanoid monster was more alert this time. He roared and five strong-looking monsters appeared even before Zall stepped on the deck.
Zall looked at the five monsters with surprise on his face and wanted to run, but the five monsters didnt let him go. They pounced on him at once, but they couldnt land an attack in a short fight. Zall withdrew slowly and met with Xavic, fighting with forty-odd monsters. Of course, he was only running away from them, but he could still keep them busy.
Miles fished out two orbs and charged them. One of them formed a bow, the other one dagger, he put them behind him and hid his presence. Since Frenzy-Rank orbs required energy to activate, it would break his Veil if he wanted to charge them later on, so he charged his weapons even before he started. Just in case. He said and his energy moved to the back of his arm, marking there.
He walked slowly lest he could be seen. Zall and Xavic were drawing the monsters' attention, and Miles dashed between trees as silent as he could. Fortunately, the trees were too dense, and he could still hide among them.
Not long after he reached the deck, and climbed down the stairs to reach orlop. From there to the bottom deck. There he saw the hole opening to the sea, and a tree with many fruits, but what stood before him and the tree was a monster with a giant body. It looked like a seal with a giant horn.
Seals eyes were wide open, as it was looking at Miles. The horn was covered with purple energy, indicating its poisonous attribute. The seal was still not sure if Miles was real, as it couldnt feel its presence, but confusion was wearing off.
Shit, it is high-tier. Miles started as he tried to figure out best course of action.
