Chapter 246: Secret Plan
246 – Secret Plan
Once they’ve all fled beyond the range of my [Presence Perception], I lower my chin to the ground and stick out my tongue. Aro crawls out. She falls off my tongue, rolling across the ground.
As a result of my saliva, her body has patches of dissolved flesh all over it. It seems her body’s got a weakness to water. I’d like to wash my mouth out, to be honest…
“Guoh”
I call out, and Aro staggers to her feet and turns to face me. I glare in the direction those guys fled, then look back at her.
I’m going over there, so I want you to hide while I’m gone. That’s what I’m trying to convey.
She seems to understand my intention, but looks down in apprehension.
I don’t have enough information about the other village. I don’t want to provoke them, but even though I didn’t know, I drove the manticore in their direction. I want to move with cautiously, and I’m anxious about leaving Aro so close to human habitation.
However, if I leave things as they are, the manticore’s victims will increase. I need to deal with it as soon as possible.
