Chapter 139: The Perfect Diversion

‘We can’t lose sight of the Tsero Crystal’s location even if the Visero start going crazy. I’ll have to tell him exactly where it is positioned no matter how-‘

Roka’s body suddenly froze just as she had started climbing.

“W-What are you...?” She muttered, as her thighs were grabbed.

The Paru could feel his hands sink into her thick thighs as he squeezed them.

‘Now’s not the time.’ The Paru told himself as he shook his head.

Roka couldn’t help herself from blushing as her body was pushed upwards, allowing her to get onto the pillar with ease.

It took a moment for Roka to direct her gaze at him once she was seated on top of the pillar.

“Th... Thanks.” She whispered, slightly embarrassed.

“Yeah.” The Paru nodded.

He turned around and walked away a moment later.

Roka took a deep breath in, preparing for the mission. She needed to concentrate, but her focus broke for a moment, leading to her gaze moving towards the Paru’s crotch.

She looked away and shut her eyes.

‘Now’s not the time!’

...

The Paru took a deep breath in.

‘Hundreds of enemies standing in the way... It will be tough, but as long as I don’t get defeated by them, I should be able to make it.’

Most would normally fear the fact that there were hundreds of Tsero, but not the Paru.

Whether there are hundreds of them or a dozen changes very little.

‘If I get a surplus of Endurance Points from being hit with lightning, the energy will be drained by their crystals. This is an issue, but it can also help. The crystals on their bodies are filled with their energy. Energy that...’ The sharp limbs on his back remained hidden for now. ‘I can drain from them too.’

“Something is...!” Roka’s whisper was stopped short by...

ROAAAR!!

Both the Paru and Roka recognize that roar.

It was coming in the direction of the area they had come from.

‘Did it climb following our tracks or something?’

The forest of pillars was disturbed. Pillars were toppled. An uninvited guest approached.

Separating them from the uninvited guest, was the center area of the mountain’s peak where the Tsero dwelled.

[A Quest has been issued.]

[Quest: “Serolia’s Apex Predator”.]

[Objective: Kill Serolia’s strongest Giganto Zilla.]

[Reward: 2 Skill Points.]

Moments later, the guest could be seen through the numerous pillars.

It was larger than the previous Giganto Zillas. Its scales and crystals were darker than the others’.

The Tsero that had been circling around had suddenly stopped moving and turned in the direction from which the Giganto Zilla was approaching, warned of its presence by the falling pillars in the distance as well as the Apex Predator’s growls.

The Commander and the Paru directed their gazes towards one another.

“That’s...”

The Commander took aim, while the Paru cracked his neck.

“Perfect.” They whispered in unison.

The perfect distraction had shown itself.
