Chapter 149 - Mud Crab (1/2)

While Candy and Tuffy escorted Ray to a section of the swamp, Ray asked them several questions about this so-called Mud Crab. The Mud Crab was apparently the big boss of the swamp, similar to the winged beast that stayed on top of the mountain, only the Mud crab was a lot weaker.

In hunting areas, there was generally one creature that was stronger than the rest. The stronger the leader was the stronger creatures it would attract around it as well. If the leader was only an intermediate class, then that area would most likely only be filled with basic tier creatures.

This was the case of the Black forest that was near Ray's village when he was younger. The wolf Ray had slain was also the boss of the forest, which was why the forest was filled with only basic tier creatures.

From the description the kids were giving of the Mud Crab, Ray could guess what tier it was at. The kids could see that Ray wasn't taking them seriously. They were trying their best to talk about how scary the Mud Crab was.

”I promise you the mud Crab's shell is unbreakable,” Tuffy said while Candy nodded in agreement.

”No one in our guild has been able to defeat it yet.” Candy also added.

”Oh really?” Ray replied, ”So let me ask you, what tier is this Mud Crab?”

”It's an advanced tier beast.” Tuffy Replied.

Ray had to stop himself from blurting out with laughter. He had guessed that the beast might be a king or super tier but not advanced. The kids knew that Ray was strong but didn't think he was able to defeat an advanced tier beast. The difference between each tier for beasts were great.

Even if an army of basic tiers tried to defeat an intermediate tier, they would stand no chance and it was same going up the ranks.

If Ray was to guess his current strength right now, he would put it at that of the bottom of the king tier beasts. When Ray fought the minotaur underneath Avrion, Sir K was the one who had finished him off but if Ray was to fight it now, Ray thought he would most likely win.

So dealing with an Advanced tier Beast would be no problem for him.

The kids took Ray's silence as a small victory. They thought they had managed to convince Ray of how powerful the beast truly was but it was the opposite. Ray was hoping that the beast would be at least at the king level so he could see how much he had grown. Fighting against an advanced tier beast meant nothing to him at the moment.

”Nes, can I ask you a question?” Candy said politely.

”Go on.”

”Why hasn't your brother said a word?” Candy asked while pointing to Ray's clone that was silently following them from behind.

”Oh, I completely forgot about him.” Ray clicked his fingers and suddenly the clone vanished into thin air.

The kids rubbed their eyes thinking they were seeing things.

”It's a skill of mine.”
