Chapter 19: Wait, I’m getting paid?
This brought them back to their original reason for ’asking’ Nick to join their expedition.
Sure, he was to be their bait, but not in the traditional sense.
They had been hunting a beast called a Whiteclaw Snake King for the last few weeks.
King was a Moniker usually given to Radiant Beasts, since they were basically the king of any territory they occupied.
Though not all of them had such a moniker.
...The Federation was weird with their naming senses.
But anyway, even though the War Beasts had been hunting this beast for weeks already, their biggest obstacle wasn’t the beast’s strength or abilities, as one might expect from a Radiant Beast, but the fact that they couldn’t even track it down!
They knew it was present in the area it was discovered in, its just that whenever they showed up to hunt it, it was nowhere to be seen.
The best result they had seen in all these weeks was just finding the Whiteclaw Snake’s shedded skin. This was enough to keep their confidence up in hunting it though.
It had claimed a territory about 20 kilometres away from War Beast Sanctuary, so it was by far the closest Radiant Beast to the Sanctuary.
They had to chance upon it during one of their hunts if they were persistent enough, was what everyone thought.
