Chapter 49: Dagger Mastery Training
"What rank are the Crimson Knights?" Kaiju asked. Finally, his stamina was beginning to recover but only suffice to ask without breathing heavily. He still lay on the floor together with Snow, who slowly slithered towards his back, and Little Gorilla, who stayed dead, recuperating.
Qwanisha replied, "Overlord Rank. Furthermore, we assume that there are more than ten of them."
"More than ten?!" Kaiju gasped.
Qwanisha sighed. "Just like I said, the burg is massive. Even if we rush to enter the heart of the burg, it will take us half a day to do so. The fact that we encountered one showed that they are guarding the heart in every part. Since the heart is enormous too, assuming that in every part there must be a Crimson Knight guarding, there must be ten or more of them."
"How can we even fight against an Overlord?!" Kaiju was in disbelief.
After all, Overlord Rank beasts or monsters were comparable to Pseudo Rank awakeners. Furthermore, the Overlord rank beast was known for being the leader of a group. Kaiju asked, "How are they?"
He was really lost what to inquire.
Qwanisha smiled, smacking Kaiju’s head. "Did you forget something? Our task is to snatch the treasures and offer them to the other races. We won’t fight against the Crimson Knights."
Kaiju was stunned and then giggled awkwardly. He quickly forgot after knowing the rank of the Crimson Knights.
"But to answer your question, they don’t have intelligence." Qwanisha shook her head. "They are strong but mindless creatures. They appear to be puppets, like thralls, moving in instinct and with purpose–perhaps, to protect their master in slumber."
Kaiju nodded. "So, we will only have to deal with Bloodbound, then."
