92 Discovery (1/2)

The eight fully armed mercenaries arrived at their destination. It was near where Wallace activated his armor's Speed Mode and left the three Keroxes.

There were traces of these Keroxes attempting to chase Wallace but it can be seen that they've given up just after reaching a kilometer on their tracks.

”What happened here?” The leader asked as he glanced at the golden Kerox's direction.

”There's traces that those three Keroxes in our front was chasing something. It seems to be another humanoid monster but has an extremely agile movement.”

They all looked at the strange footprint left behind by the Amplified Assault Armor. They were familiar in this forest but it was their first time seeing this kind of beast's foot print. It made them think a bit of the situation.

”Let's hunt those three, get to your position.” The leader finally ordered after observing the surroundings. Their mission was to hunt a single evolved Kerox. This golden Kerox had never appeared before until recently. So the residents of the nearby town was still unaware of them and only the mercenaries and the government officials were aware of them.

Unfortunately, this evolved Kerox always hunt together with his group and intelligent enough not to fight multiple human magicians. It slowly gather other Keroxes and bring them on their flock.

”It seems like a humanoid machine for me.” One of them mumbled but didn't say it aloud as he was only speculating. He kept a record of the footprint and followed his leader's order.

Wallace left behind at least 12 more Keroxes and 2 more golden furred in his Speed Mode. He was still halfway through the forest but cancelled the mode as it attracts too much of attention.

He felt some presence observing him a while ago but suddenly disappeared after using his Cloak Mode.

”I really can't underestimate this place.” Wallace said upon using his Divine Sense to scout the area.

The place was full of Mana and realized that it was extremely helpful for magicians and Mana beasts. The density of the Mana here was multiplied by at least three times than normal making magicians have easier manipulation of Mana and powerful Magic Spells.  Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.

Wallace stopped his tracks and detoured from his current location.

”That's not a Kerox. Even the resident's were unaware of it.”

He hastily retreated and changed direction after sensing a powerful Mana Beast hidden in a nearby cave. He had no idea what it was but it was definitely on the same level of an Adept. He felt the same intensity of mana fluctuations when he scanned Troy, the Enneadic Magician's disciple.

Apparently, mercenaries were only capable of dealing with a Kerox and leave alive. These merceneries would of course tell their tales to the residents of the town making them aware of the forest's situation. But anyone who unluckily bump with the beast he just scanned, may have perished already.

It was definitely not a good idea to fight them in their territory.

”It seems the forest had a lot of it's secrets.” Wallace was obviously trespassing to this country's restricted areas so he don't want to create too much of disturbance and would like to avoid any unnecessary contact within the forest.

He hastened his pace and was now on a top of one of the mountains overlooking the Kharvatt Forest.

He looked back and saw the unending forest where he just passed through. He could no longer see a plain and everything was covered by the canopy of trees.

”This view...”

Wallace was momentarily stunned as if realizing something important. His heartbeat increased as his excitement could not be hidden on his face.

He turned his head in front and looked for his next destination. There was still about two kilometers to reach the shore and he can already observe several small islands in the vicinity.

”Several dozen small island and the place Avalon landed was about 5 kilometers away from this mainland.”

Wallace muttered as he clearly remembered the scenery before his spaceship descended to an isolated island.

”Yes! This should be the right place. I'm not wrong.”
