Chapter 78: CHAPTER 78 – The Raptors Attack.

The raiders from the Crimson Lotus guild had been jogging for some hours while killing some beasts along the way and although they were not much tiered, they still decided to relax for a while when Alice told them to rest for a bit.

They were eating some food from the ration they bought with them.

They sat in a circle with their faces towards each other and although they were relaxed, they still kept an eye out for any strange movements in the surroundings.

"All right guy, listen well, but don't show any kind of reaction and continue doing what you are doing."

Suddenly Alex's voice was heard but it was very low, and it didn't seem like he was speaking as his head was turned downwards and he was eating his share of the food.

Everyone did what he said and just focused their senses on what Alex was going to say while not showing any reaction.

They knew that Alex had mysterious abilities and he was strong as well, so if he was telling them to do something there must be a reason behind it, then there was also the fact that Alice was doing what Alex had said as well.

"The Raptors from earlier are on the move."

Alex spoke and some of the raider's bodies unknowingly tensed but they relaxed their body remembering Alex's words earlier.

Alex nodded as he saw their reaction and then continued.

"They are currently surrounding us and from what I can tell, they will probably jump at us from all sides.

So, I want you all to be ready to use your strongest attack when I tell you to.

All you have to do is turn around and shoot your strongest attack at your 6."

(6 here is used to donate the angle using the clock hands. 12 means straight ahead while 6 means the opposite.)

Alex explained and the raiders secretly started circulating their mana in their bodies, getting ready for the signals.

The ones that used swords casually placed their hands over the swords, spear users did the same, and the others did as well. Their movements were relaxed, and they didn't seem like someone who was getting ready for an attack.

Maggie, the only bow user couldn't aim her bow as it would not go unnoticed, so she circulated mana in her hand and started creating an arrow with a high amount of mana, to use it as a sword.

............................

The raptors that were preparing to attack the raiders were called velociraptors, and they were one of the fastest raptors on the land. They would stalk their prey, wait for an opening, and then attack.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye when the raiders were still killing the raptors.

With its maximum speed, the Raptor leader reached behind Alice in a flash and opened its jaw to bite her head off, but then it saw that the high-speed Raptor was stopped, sending a burst of air toward the raiders.

The Raptor had its blue reptilian eyes wide open as it realized the reason its movement stopped.

It looked at the hand holding its jaw and found Alex looking at him from the corner of his eye while holding the raptor's jaw with one hand.

"Goodbye," Alex spoke and pierced the simple blade into the raptor's neck, killing it in the process.

He could've just cut the neck of the raptor when it was moving towards them, but its body would not have stopped and caused some kind of accident to occur so he did the safest thing he could think of.

Alex took the skill that the velociraptor had as he found it useful. Still, he was going to sell it like he had been doing to the many other skills he had farmed from the gates he had entered in the past three months as he didn't need them right now.

*Clap*

"All right guys, we won't be staying here for long so get a short rest and we will start moving again."

Alice spoke after clapping her hands once.

She didn't say anything to Alex for killing the Raptor leader as she could've killed it even if he didn't and she also knew that it was better for Alex to kill it.

Every raider nodded their heads and sat down doing this and that, some chatted about random things, some cleaned their weapons, and some just idled around.

Alice, on the other hand, looked at Alex as she thought back about the time when Alex told her and Ann about one of his abilities.

She just couldn't think of how a guy with such broken abilities could even exist...
