Chapter 386
A Monster You Don’t Know? A Monster You Didn’t Wanna Know. [Part 2]
“A monster wielding such nonstandard flames… I know no such monsters,” said William, who had memorized every monster ever recorded in history, in a trembling voice. Many monsters could produce fire, but a species that could continuously produce such outrageous flames didn’t exist in his memory.
“Truly. This is my first time seeing a monster with flame-wielding ability powerful enough to cover the forest and the campsite in flames.”
Melsa embraced William’s quivering shoulders as she gazed at the approaching fire. Through a gap between the flames, she could discern a towering blaze moving toward their group.
‘That is most likely the main body. Approaching in a straight line, no doubt the monster is aiming for us. As we have zero information on the enemy, we can’t think of any strategy to deal with it.”
“An unknown monster to us, huh… Umm… Is there any possibility that it’s a… thousand salamanders going berserk under the influence of rampage mouse?”
‘Could it be that the power of the flames is enhanced through the tyranny of the majority and rampage mouse’s [berserk] status effect?’ Emma spoke of the hypothesis she thought of to William, who kept shaking his head as he browsed through the [Monster Library] inside his brain again, yet failed to find any information.
“If it’s unknown… Is it a new species?”
If William didn’t know, no one would know. If so, George thought that perhaps a new species of monster never seen before had appeared.
“Unlikely. Assuming a thousand salamanders go on a rampage, flames of this size are still impossible, Nee-sama. Something as ridiculous as turning a large forest into a sea of fire in an instant is a difficult feat for any monster. And Nii-sama, if a new species of monster with such extraordinary power appears… huft.”
