Chapter 66: Who?
After a few hours had passed and Nick was 99% sure that nobody had followed him or found him, he made the lengthy but worthy trek back to the Sanctuary.
Although he had escaped back into the forests surrounding War Beast Sanctuary, that was nothing but a ploy.
He never intended to go out hunting after hearing about all the groundbreaking news that had just been revealed.
Everyone was soon to be out looking for a Star rank Beast, so the wilderness was going to be crawling with Altered from all different backgrounds in the foreseeable future!
If Nick wanted to have a peaceful time hunting without any interference from outside forces, he needed to wait until all the hype died down and those who were less enthusiastic about finding a Star rank beast gave up and returned to their previous routines.
Hence, after spending a few hours in the wilderness just laying down on some grass in a small patch he’d found, he turned back and headed toward the War Beast Sanctuary.
News about the appearance of Star Rank beasts in the first layer had long been leaked to the general public by now, so those who weren’t apart of the Sanctuary leaders were also aware of their existence now, and had headed out to try their luck as well.
Of course, not to try and kill such a beast! They knew they had absolutely zero chance of ever doing that... But that wouldn’t stop them from selling the location of the Star Rank Beast, if they found one, at extortionate prices to the highest bidder!
Which left the Sanctuaries in their emptiest state since humanity had stepped foot in the Beast Domain over fifty years ago!
