Chapter 132 - 132: The Jungles Tribespeople [Part 2] (1/2)
A rather large field, surrounded by trees and spiky fences to keep away the monsters.
Countless huts made of different types of straw material and wood. rested on top of the trees around them. Some huts were connected around to one another through bridges.
Some of them were drinking water through the vines while others were busy doing their chores and tasks.
The horns on top of their heads were all simply black, it didn't have any specific colour on the top half.
At their homes, they mostly didn't wear any masks, allowing Gray to see them for who they were clearly.
However he was not able to see them as he currently had a spear placed to his neck.
Gray turned his head back, only to see a crouched down tribesperson on the branch behind him, the person held two spears and had cloth covering not only their waist but also their chests.
'A girl, huh?' Gray wondered.
The girl didn't say anything and simply stared at them through her mask. She seemed to be just as tall as Gray and was incredibly fit.
Gray could see her crimson red eyes through the mask on her face, they seemed to glow as they analysed him.
[Fast-Forward.]
The Girl reflexively swayed to the right as a result of her instinct, surprising Gray who – in an instant, had turned to her with his arm stretched out, aimed to Grab her.
[Pause Step]
Reliant on her senses, she instinctively tried to leap away as Gray's figure suddenly vanished. But it was already too late.
*Tap*
[Pause.]
Gray who had paused stepped beneath the branch and was hanging onto it, tapped her feet, quickly pausing her before she could leap away.
The current time limit for Pause without the Mark of the king active was 20 seconds.
Gray would usually stay off the fifteen mark and above however, as from that point onward the stamina consumption would multiply increasingly per every second.
However, there was no need to worry about that as Gray wouldn't need that long.
He looked up to climb up the branch and his eyes widened.
'I can see it...! I can see everything-' The thought flashed through his mind.
Within that split second and out of respect, he quickly looked back down.
Shortly after, he looked up again but this time his eyes were shut. He quickly climbed up not to waste any more time.
[Fast-Forward.]
Gray's figure completely skipped the climbing procedure and was suddenly standing on top of the branch.
'So, I can use it in ways like this too...' He thought to himself.
After he got up, he opened his eyes and looked over at Delta who had been staring at him with narrowed eyes.
”...What? It wasn't intentional and put a spear to my neck.” He stated as he stared back with narrowed eyes.
When he had turned his head up, he got a perfect glimpse of what was behind inside of the cloth from beneath.
Although it truly wasn't his intention, it at least scratched out one hygienic question he had.
'Fortunately, they wear underwear.' He thought to himself.
Gray looked the tribes girl who was suspended in the air up and down with an interested gaze.
