Chapter 340: The Path to Rose Peak
After the momma bear and her cub were done eating the food that we gave them, we were able to approach them and pet them.
Melina and Yoru were playing with the cub, who liked rolling around like a panda, while Vespera and I were checking on the momma bear.
Vespera and Yoru were able to communicate with them via telepathy, so she was the one who told me that the bear was grateful to us for our help.
Using Vespera as my translator, I asked the momma bear if it was normal for a Chimera to be in that area, but the bear said that it was the first time she had encountered such a monster.
Apparently, more monsters started to appear in the fields of Lotus a few years ago, and lots of animals and beasts had to migrate to other zones so they wouldn’t get eradicated by these monsters.
The bear had no real way to tell time, so I had to do an estimate, and it seemed like the monsters started to appear during the times that we fought Armaros.
My theory was that Drakzen was creating monsters in End Forest, and after he realized it was useless since we were hunting them all down, he switched places and came to the fields in Lotus.
The bear then asked us why we were there, so we told her that we were going to Rose Peak to look for a relic, and she warned us about the dragon that was guarding it.
Dragons were Legendary Beasts like Vespera, so I believed that we would be able to talk to them peacefully without any violence. Still, the bear was adamant about us being careful around the beast, and it seemed wise to listen to her.
