Book 3. Chapter 10
Chapter 10 – Haulia Tribe and Encounter
Screams echoed inside the [Raisen Great Canyon].
The figures of desperate Rabbitmen fleeing to hide behind rocks could be seen. Looking around, Hajime could see 20 Rabbitmen hiding behind rocks. If combined with those still fleeing, there would be around 40 people.
In the sky, flying demonic beasts, that were rare even inside that hell, were glaring at the frightened Rabbitman tribe. The flying demonic beast’s appearance was similar to what gamers would call a wyvern. Their wingspan was around 3-5 meters with sharp claws and fangs, equipped with a sharp thorn at the swelling end of their long tail, similar to mace.
“Hy-hyveria….” (Shia)
Over Hajime’s shoulder, Shia’s trembling voice could be heard. It seemed that those Wyvern-like creatures were called “Hyveria”. There were six of them circling in the sky, waiting for a chance to catch the cowering Rabbitmen.
Finally, one Hyveria took action. After adjusting its position in the sky, the Hyveria dove towards one of the large rocks where some Rabbitmen were hiding and struck the rock with its swinging tail. A deafening sound resounded, and the remains of the pulverized rock flung the screaming Rabbitmen in all directions.
Looking upon its helpless prey, the Hyveria heavily landed where the rock was before and roared at the frightened Rabbitmen in its presence. A Rabbitman could be seen shielding a child from the fangs of the Hyveria that encroached upon them.
Seeing this scene, only despair could be seen on the other Rabbitmen’s faces. No one knew which of their family members would be the Hyveria’s next meal. But that concern was unnecessary.
