Chapter 227 Part 1
Let us see it a bit for now.
Volff run after the trace of the Jugglers and Acrobat star.
Come to think of it Volff have a tracking skills.
There was a marking as well.
It was a thread.
Denier thread was hooked up on the demi-humans and it was still connected.
Volff was not only chasing a scent, but also toward where the thread was going.
Insurance eh?
I can only see the thread once in a while.
It was due it was pretty thin.
Unless you know what you’re looking for, you won’t be able to look at it.
But Volff seems to be able to identify such an object.
He was also following the smell.
Thus it seems we have a solid tracking team here.
On the ground, Taylor was still moving above the swamp surface.
I like this.
Like this, even the demi-humans won’t be able to notice us either.
I might even be able to leave everything to them.
Couturier as well.
What kind of scenery that those eyes see I wonder?
It would be solid to call this a stalking rather than searching.
Then Couturier flew over my shoulders
The feather wings trembled a little once in a while.
Apparently we’re about to caught up with them.
From here, let us move slowly?
How many demi-human was there?
It was just 2 people.
No.
Now, it was only 1.
What’s going on?
Now it was going to increase?
Were those the jugglers and the acrobat stars from before?
Both HP bars have decreased.
Now a pantomime guy and a fire blowing man was added.
Oi.
Where did they came from?
Mumumu?
Something seems to emerge from the shadow.
It was a familiar face.
It was the Black Santa.
I wonder if there was something hidden behind him?
“Sense Magic!”
With this skill I could see things on perspective of magic users.
There was nothing strange in the shade area.
No.
Suddenly I could feel magic power overflow from it.
What’s going on?
Once again, it was a new demi-human.
This time it was a beast tamer.
And beside that one was a killer ape.
Black santa does seems to acting alone
The it leave toward the northeast.
Then the other demi-humans begin to disperse.
Hmmm…
I wonder if something like an instant portal could be used as a base?
Would it be possible if I could do that?
I think that was good.
I like to make sure and see it.
But the question was how to do that huh?
Right.
I used instant portal here.
I choose the finest tree among the surrounding trees, and climb the trunk.
Use the instant portal at the part where branches separation were being done.
The place where those demon appeared was completely visible from here.
This place was good.
Who should I choose as monitoring personnel?
I decide the current lineup would be sufficient.
The range of instant portal was wide.
Each of my summoned unit choose a place and circle around the shadowy place.
Volff and Tigris from above using the ivy and tree branches.
Taylor was on the swamp.
Couturier flies around the perimeter of the instant portal.
Denier was on a different tree than I do.
Was it alright you ask?
Now then…
As I said, I will leave the monitoring to my summoned being.
As for me, I decide to excavate ancient stone pillars to kill time.
The current time was 1:10pm.
Well, let us spent time slowly.
1 hours passed.
There was no movement.
Excavation of the ancient pillars was going well.
–
This time it seems I’ve found some kind of a thick plate.
What was buried?
I stop my hand and drink my drinking water.
I also make my summoned monsters to take turn licking some honey.
I don’t seems to need Taylor and Denier.
Well, I guess it was fine?
A little after 3pm, there was a movement.
Black Santa.
Was it the last one?
Unfortunately, 【Identification】 won’t work from inside the instant portal.
Sense Magic also have no effect.
However, when Black Santa entered the shadow, he left again after less than 5 minutes.
Did he forget something?
Well let us ignore it for now.
The time was 3.40 pm.
The demi-human of different group have come.
This time it was the fire blowing man, insect tamer, and a mantis like monster that I’ve never seen.
Besides them were the Pantomime man, Sword dancer, and Acrobat Star.
They also entered the shadow.
And after 5 minute, they left as well.
It was no doubt, this was their base.
The problem was how many demi-human uses this place as the bases.
This was where I need to judge.
6.20 pm.
I want to eat Bunraku’s food but, I decide to eat a portable food.
I left Volff, Tigris, Couturier with some honey.
By now, we knew that there were two demi-human groups and three Black Santas uses this place.
Each of the three Black Santas also have unique face, thus it was easier for us to identify.
The make up of each Dark Crown was also different, so it was possible to distinguish between them.
And although it was easy to identify the others as well…
The problem was the Pantomimer.
It was always wear the same mask.
Well, since I don’t think they change groups between each other, so I believe there were two of them.
This was the west side if we go from the Fukaimori area portal.
The boundary with the adjacent S4W1 map was also close.
In other words, it was unlikely that this place would be found by other players.
This was no doubt, it was a base for them to hunt players.
A two set of demi-humans group.
And Three Black Santas.
I wonder, if that was all?
Was there any way to disable this base I wonder?
Or was this a place for them to return after performing an ambush?
Well, I wish I could make good use of this situation.
The excavation of ancient stone pillars have progressed considerably.
My MP bar still a lot.
After all, I’ve only used enchanted weapons for this time excavation.
It was a little regrettable but, at this point the work was almost done.
Now then.
Let us do it.
Woops, before that.
It was already night, so I let Couturier returned.
And Summoned Telomere.
With this should be alright.
I approaches the shadowy place.
I once again uses Sense Magic, but I don’t see anything wrong with it.
However, there was no mistake, this place was a base.
Should I try it?
Dispel magic I mean…
Now, what would happen I wonder?
“Dispel Magic!”
Will there be some effect?
But there was no time to confirm it.
Volff suddenly take a run.
Telomere also start to fly in the air.
Why?
Dark Crown Lv1.
Demi-Human, Enemy Target Active.
Battle position: Ground, Space-time attribute, Light attribute, Dark Attribute.
Hou…
Did he wounded?
No, did he actually maintain an instant portal?
I become warry.
It seems Telomere’s Prison Guard’s Khakkara had a faster effect than the Dark Crown move.
The expression of the demi-human distorted.
Perhaps it was because he tried to use special ability.
It can be seen that his ability was getting canceled by Telomere prison guard Khakkara.
Now then, demi-human-san.
If you don’t take the next step, you will get stuck you know?
Please do it in time!
However.
The demi-human died in no time.
Volff and Tigris was very merciless!
Well, I’m happy they manage to get rid the enemy fast though…
But, where was my turn?
Of course, there was none.
Well, this time I won’t complaint.
Next time…
Let us ambush them.
Ambush eh…
I think that was a good idea.
For some reason the situation turned fun.
Somehow I feel a dark joy from this.
Huh?
But, isn’t that what the PK guys always said?
Or rather, the opponent we face were the demi-humans.
But it seems our behavior in itself was no different than those PK guys.
I thought about that while watching Denier mounting various things around.
It was fun to see enemy got caught in these traps.
Certainly.
But I believe, I think it was fun because I could easily hunt them.
And it was fun because I could get things the way I want it to be…
Looking at the enemy got caught in a trap and got confused, it was fun to watch that.
But compared to me, I think I’m a bit different.
What about me you ask?
If I have to say, it would be fun indeed if everything went as planned.
But I think of it was just effectiveness.
Now then…
Let us hide and wait.
The time was 8pm.
The first prey come.
It was a black santa.
Night vision was working perfectly.
Black Santa Lv6.
Demi-human, Enemy Target, Passive.
Battle position: Ground, Darkness, Light resistance.
The HP bar seems to have been decreased by half.
He must’ve returned after facing a battle.
I decided to get close to him.
Nothing noticed me and Volff lying side by side.
No one also noticed Tigris, Denier, and Telomere who hides behind the shadow of trees.
Of course, no one noticed Taylor who hide in the swamp.
Black Santa’s feet was in front of me.
My hand reached out and Grabbed the demi-human’s left ankle and pulled it.
Then Volff bite the right ankle and pulls it into the bushes.
Unexpectedly, this demi-human was easy to fall into surprise attack.
Still he was still tying to get something out of his bag.
But you know.
Telomere was swinging his hammer down, breaking its wrist.
Too bad.
And it seems the enemy couldn’t put out voice as well.
It was due to Tigris biting its throat.
The fang of Tigris dug deep into its throat.
Was it broken?
The demi-human’s HP bar then shattered.
Up to this point, it was probably good to finish without making much noise.
But there were still some demi-humans left.
This was not the time for us to be happy about our success.
We return to our original position.
I decide to hunt all of the demi-humans.
The time was 8.30pm.
After looking at statistic data, the next prey come.
It was the Black Santa again.
This time was a bit low level, level 2.
This time was also killed quickly, by using the previous method.
Fumu…
It was our second time, so I feel the synergy was even better.
But still.
There were still two parties made of demi-humans left.
And one Black Santas.
There was also one Black Santas left.
Taylor hasn’t come out yet.
The performance will start now.
The time was 9:30pm.
It came.
Acrobats Star, Jugglers, Pantomimes, Flameblow man, and beast tamer.
And there was the Killer Ape.
Their HP and MP bar seems to have decreased as well.
Ho hou…
Let’s hope that Denier traps work effective against these numbers.
I hold my breath as I wait in the bushes.
In front of me.
Beast Tamer legs.
The plan didn’t change from the last time.
I reached out, grabbed his ankle and pulled it.
Some of the traps Denier were active at the same time.
I don’t know which demi-humans, but I believe there were three of them being suspended.
And the guy being caught by Tigris got smashed into the swamp.
When I got out of the bushes, only two who could move properly.
It was the Acrobat Stars and Jugglers.
Beast tamer have already been bitten by Volff.
I could see the shadow of Telomere behind the acrobat stars.
A mallet swing into the side of the acrobat star was being launched.
Literally the demi-humans sunk(dead).
The jugglers then moves to get something from his hips.
But I didn’t let him to just do it.
As I catch his waist, twist and press it against his back.
Then I turn my arm around its neck.
He then moved his right hand to struggle.
In my right hand was the Uneven Snow Leopard Push Dagger.
I then slit the enemy’s throat.
There was no response.
I throw the body while holding my knife backward.
I drop the corpse to the ground.
No, to the swamp.
I decide to leave Taylor to deal with it.
Who got caught in Denier trap I wonder?
It was pantomimer and Killer ape.
It seems the pantomime was trying to escape by moving around its limbs.
Killer Ape was barking loudly.
But, Telomere worked fast!
As he swung the mallet in the air, and after gained momentum, he hit the back of the killer ape head as hard as it could…
Killer Ape then fall down.
–
Amen…
Denier was pitting extra threads on the Pantomimeer to block its movement.
However, that work was interrupted.
Telomere’s next prey was the pantomimer.
It hit Pantomimer face with the mallet in full force.
Miserable.
But I guess, it was better to die than to suffer?
You can see that Telomere was pouring a hot glance at Killer Ape who was in coma.
Oh, whatever, do whatever you want!
Take as much blood as you want.
It seems the one that Tigris dropped into the swamp was the flameblow man.
This was a situation in which I want to sympathize at the enemy.
Did he got strangled?
No, he was in the position being pushed into the swamp with his back being pressed down.
Was this a torture?
It was a torture wasn’t it?
I’ll admit it, this was indeed effective.
I can’t imitate it though.
As for Taylor, he have no mercy from the beginning.
It was a death by torture.
The situation seems to have proceed quietly, so I leave it at that.
What about the juggler?
It seems it had died when he fell into the swamp.
Well, his HP bar had already decreased considerably from the start as well.
It might’ve died due to the falling.
Beast Tamer have been bitten by Volff and Tigris, Leaving only Killer Ape.
This Killer Ape was the most unhappy ending.
Telomere was sucking its blood.
Then the smell of bloods engulfs the air.
It was so rich that it was hard to not notice it.
Due to the Killer Ape had HP Bar left, it had to suffer more.
This was also looked miserable.
