Chapter 49 - Why do you want to kill your family? (2/2)

'She does have incredible potential as a scout.'

The beast was tracking them via scent and had not locked onto them, because if it had, Will would have been able to sense its malicious intent from 5 miles away.

With a sigh Will stood up, he reluctantly started walking out of the alley into the road. ”Master, from what I can tell this is most likely a scout. Its main purpose is to gauge your strength,” said Letty as she hurriedly walked after Will. The moment they left the alley and entered the abandoned street, the beast came into view.

[Vector Leopard: An extremely fast and cunning creature with an extraordinary sense of smell. It is more than happy to slay the weak but will not hesitate to run at the site of danger.

Rating: D-

Class: Scout]

The creature was a leopard that was covered in red lines instead of spots, its silhouette flashed as it neared the group. Letty knew there was not the time for words so she got ready to support Will as best as she could. She had seen through Will's basic Water Meister skills but she was unsure if it was enough to handle such a creature. This situation was far different from their previous one, for before they were in a nest of snakes, now there were in a dragon's den.

The leopard halted the moment it came within 20 meters of the duo. Letty knew very well that this creature had quite the cowardice, and would only stop if it sensed danger. By itself, it could easily wipe out the horde they had faced ten times over, but it felt intimidated by Will.

Letty knew from experience that the intuition of a Vector Leopard was never wrong. Will was dangerous.

The leopard itself was even more confused than Letty. On the outside, Will seemed like a weakling. Letty had a much higher level than Will, but the feeling of danger Will gave off was much, much higher. Thus the leopard was facing a dilemma, should it attack or retreat?

Will could not be bothered to wait for it to attack, so he launched a water blade at the leopard. The attack was easily dodged by the leopard which had sidestepped. Will's water blade was incredibly fast from Letty's point of view, so fast she could barely even notice it.

'No wonder he was able to massacre the wolves do easily. His proficiency over his skills is incredible. How much time must he have spent practicing them?'

The leopard was unfortunately not like the wolves. It was somewhat shocked by the speed of the water blade, but it might as well have been moving in slow motion as far as the creature was concerned.

Will smirked and started raining down a barrage of water blades. The leopard's silhouette started flashing continuously, as it was dodging all of them with ease.

”Master! This creature is incredibly fast, so much so that even some c rank creatures cannot catch up to its speed. It is not hard to defeat it but killing it or escaping from it is impossible for us.” said Letty with a grave expression.

'She is right, it is fast, but there are many things you should never compete with me in, speed is one of them!'
