Chapter 641
Here, not only were there monster corpses, but also a considerable mix of other animal remains.
The scene would have been chilling enough had it been just the monsters' bodies arranged in such a manner, but to include the carcasses of other beasts as well was perplexing. What could the First Duke Tain possibly be thinking or intending with this?
"Could there be a magical formation or something of that sort here?"
Mages could create formations capable of invoking magic power using magic stones and various artifacts. The mages of the Western Mage Union also made large-scale formations, although individually weaker, to protect their strongholds and conduct research.
But if it were something like that, it shouldn't be invisible to my eyes
Yuder scanned the scattered bodies with a suspicious gaze before shaking his head.
He then resumed his walk around the area, focusing particularly on the traces of the beast carcasses. He hoped to grasp the intent behind this arrangement by identifying the types of beasts.
However, even for him, who had extensive experience observing wildlife in the mountains, it was challenging to deduce everything from a few decayed bone fragments.
There are too few traces compared to the monster carcasses.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that whoever brought these bodies here had used various means for preservation. It would have been impossible for the carcasses of beasts from a millennium ago to remain to this extent without such efforts.
It would have been easier if they were bones of monsters or humans. Yuder, squinting his eyes, which started to throb slightly, stared intently at the remains of a beast with long horns.
He strained his mind, trying to deduce whether the decaying horn fragments belonged to a deer or a reindeer when his gaze inadvertently drifted to the monster carcasses lying nearby.
...Now that I look at it, there are horns on the monster carcasses as well.
Yuder observed the well-preserved horns on the monster carcass, then turned to look at the adjacent beast carcass.
Somewhat... the horns seem strikingly similar in shape.Updated chapters on novelbin(.)com
Horns are among the parts that preserve well even after death. With a bit of time, he could confirm the astonishing similarity in size and shape of the horns on both carcasses.
Yuder recalled the numerous monsters he had encountered. Monsters typically had no consistent form, with a wide variety of types making a complete catalog an endless task. Yet, he realized, there was a commonality in their bizarre appearances.
Sometimes they resemble other animals, insects, or even plants.
Take, for instance, the giant Pethuamet he had recently defeated, or even the Long-tailed Gumbo named Penpen.
The creature had an appearance that defied all norms, but its disproportionately large mouth was notable. Its long, curled tongue used for snaring prey and the barbed tail resembled the chameleons found in the south.
Of course, its smooth fur was nothing like a chameleon's, and in some aspects, it even reminded him of a giant caterpillar, though only in certain parts.
And what about the winged monsters? The wings commonly seen on monsters usually resembled those of birds or bats. Yuder had never encountered any that flew with wings unlike the typical concept of 'wings'.
Yuder had always thought the similarities were merely coincidental and had never pondered deeply on this point until now.
He looked down at the two sets of horns for a long time, lost in thought.
Could it be that the reason why the First Duke Tain alternated the carcasses of beasts and monsters here was related to this peculiar commonality he sensed? It was still too early for certainty.
After saying this, Kishiar turned his head towards Nathan Zuckerman.
"So, Nathan, what have you discovered?"

[BL] Bermuda
Leonardo Blaine, the true war hero of the Raina Logia Empire and the commander of the Armsilver 11th Squad, is dishonorably discharged for disobeying orders during the final battle that could have led the Empire to victory in the territorial war. People criticize and point fingers at him, and after being released on parole from prison, he disappears without a trace.
Three years later, his name has been forgotten by the world. The Council has been persistently pursuing him, but he has proven difficult to capture. Frustrated by this, Hugo Agrizendro, the commander of the Council's army, decides to personally apprehend him.
"Since when have you been watching me?"
Leonardo was calculative and astute, so it wouldn't be surprising if he had been observing Hugo for some time now. However, Leonardo's answer was something that even Hugo had not anticipated.
"From the very beginning."

[BL] Cloudless Sky
Jin Soram, the top-ranked hunter representing South Korea's Rift Phenomenon Management Headquarters, is stronger than anyone else and lazier than anyone else. As soon as he arrives at the office, he buries himself under a blanket and falls asleep. When he goes out on a mission, he causes accidents and returns to the office, often shirking his duties.
"Do you know how it feels to play a game that's already messed up? ...Anyway, the next round will come, so this time, I'm just going to play it recklessly."
In fact, his true identity is someone who has regressed through three lives, trying to save the world from the Great Rift but failing each time. After repeating a life where he couldn't sleep peacefully even for a day, he became completely exhausted before this life even began.
"I know. You worked hard, Jin Soram."
And then there's Han Tae-un, the man who saved Soram and died in all three previous lives. As he did in every life, he comes to Soram's side once again. The Great Rift is approaching soon. It's impossible to resolve it in this life without any preparation. Soram vows to save Tae-un in this life and die himself. At least, he won't let Tae-un save a failure like himself again.
"For now, until then, let's sleep..."
As Soram sluggishly lives his life waiting for that moment, a gradual change occurs in his heart.
'I thought this was a messed-up round... but I want to live a little longer here.'
