Chapter 131: The Beast of the East


———————————————-


That loud sound reverberated close to my ears. It was the sound of Hydra’s head, pounding the ground, while showing its teeth as if to swallow up Goff, at once. It was the result of making the bastard’s head to miss the target with Goff using the shield. He seemed to have been more skilled than I gave him credit for at using the shield


What was most important for the main unit was to be patient. The most important thing was to endure for the warrior that had jumped in to protect us. Two more individuals rushed out as soon as the two heads, on either side of Hydra, have once again fixed their focus on Goff.


They were Orbo, the Minotaur warrior, and Gara, the twin headed Ogre. As he was the odd one, with his minds divided into two, it was quite difficult to put him in charge of things, but his field of vision was very broad as he had the advantage of having two heads. Being able to attract the attentions of others to him, while being able to seek out something else by turning his focus elsewhere at the same time, was the best advantage that he had.


It was an impossible technique for a human being. However, another reason for choosing him to be a tanker was because his ‘unique capability’ was quite useful. It was a unique capability which wasn’t seen in humans before.


The unique capability of the ‘red medicine addict’ was ridiculous, but having two heads, he had an optimized body for drinking potions. While one head was busily engaged in a battle, the other head could drink a potion, and was even able to spew out potions from both mouths should he sustain a powerful damage.


His ability to regenerate, stemming from the ability to maximize the effects of the potion through his unique capability, was truly awesome.


“Ah… it hurts! Gara is in pain!”


“Gara eats red medicine! Eats red medicine!”


“Red medicine is tasty!”


Although he was able to protect himself from the attacks of the beast of the east somehow, he was screaming as his arm appeared to have been crushed, but watching him drinking the potion caused me to think that he would be able to last until the end of the raid, as long as the attack did not cause instant death.


“It… It appears to be a good start.”“Agree.”Lee Wanyong, who was next to me, spoke nervously to me. He seemed to be shaking in his knees now that he was actually facing the beast of the east. It didn’t seem bad. He, too, now, had a reason to desperately help with this hunt.‘Survival’He, too, would die should everyone else die. I thought that he was endlessly spinning his head. Watching him continuously conversing with Hakajin through Jung Hayeon, I thought that bringing him along wasn’t a wrong decision.


“The main unit will stand by, ready to attack.”


“The main unit will stand by, ready to attack.”


Perhaps, he saw the Orc whose eyes turned red and ready to launch arrows that Black Spear shouted towards them. It was, in fact, Black Spear, himself, who had the reddest eyes. With his muscles bulging and looking about to throw his spear at any moment, I felt that Black Spear has been restraining himself for the longest time, already.


I began to look ahead. Goff, Orbo, and Gara were standing rather firmer than I had imagined. Perfectly positioned in three separate directions, the three green skins kept their attention to the bastard’s eyes, so that they would not hurt each other.


Certainly, the highlight was Goff who was displaying the experience of a tanker, even wounding the beast’s head by striking it down with his ax, as he dodged the bastard’s head.


“Krrrrrahhh!”


Looking irritated, the bastard began to spew out venomous liquid, but it was a pattern that had already been talked about before. Goff instantly went to under the bastard’s foot. Losing its target, the bastard’s venomous liquid was redirected to Orbo and Gara, but they, too, have already taken their positions at under the foot of the beast of the east.


Ultimately, it attempted to spew its breath towards here, but there was no way that it would reach this far. However, for some remote chance that it might reach here, the Ogre warriors raised their shields, and the bastard’s venom fell to the ground.


“Chrrrrrrish”


With that sound, the ground melted and smoke rose, and the ‘standard range’ was determined with that. That was, the range of the bastard’s breath was determined.


“Here…Here is the maximum range. All you have to do is to maintain this distance even if the beast of the east attacks while approaching closer.”


“This time…The bastard’s pace…”


The work of measuring the pace of the bastard’s strides was conducted. Appearing from under the foot of the beast of the east, Goff and the warriors caused the bastard to turn its head to the opposite direction, and began to retreat back. As anticipated, the beast of the east began to chase after Goff, and Hakajin began to measure the pace of the beast’s strides as he watched.


It was probably an easy work for Hakajin who had even almost perfectly drew the forest worm’s cave from above the ground. Calculating the margin of error was, once again, left to Lee Wanyong. Hakajin spoke as if to signal that he has understood while he tapped his head with his fingers, and Lee Wanyong nodded his head again. Of course, the two could not understand each other as Jung Hayeon was interpreting in the middle, but I, too, unconsciously thought that they were working fairly well with each other.


While Goff, Orbo, and Gara were collecting data from the beast of the east, we were getting ready for a battle with everything we had.


I was able to, somewhat, understand as to why the humans would form and operate separate strategic support team when they hunted large beasts. The Lee Wanyong’s saying that a raid is science didn’t come about for nothing. The humans, who have been living since the Middle Ages from the beginning, would not have been able to analyze it this far, but certainly, the humans that were summoned from the Earth were different.


There were people who were easily scared, unable to come together, and easily betrayed others like Lee Wanyong, yet even he was quite smart. Should there be humans who wanted to come together and advance, the thought that they would pose serious threats to us, the Green Skins, came to me.


“The… The luring appeared to have worked… And all the needed data seemed to have been collected. It would be safe to be mobile a little bit at a time, using our current position as the basis.”


“Good work.”
