Chapter 101: Purple Lightning Snake (1/2)

Chapter 102: Training Regi, Reen?”

Eren was seen hiding behind a large tree In front of hie waterfall that had been created by the Leona river h the uneven terrain The other side of the river was regarded as the Theht! Eren was here to see if he could take away Malva Hibiscus without anyone’s help Levine had told hi the Theion

But what she didn’t knoas that the ingredient was located not far from the border itself The saovernance

The butcher was hiding because the C-Rank beast that was protecting the Malva Hibiscus was said to be dwelling in this area In the previous timeline, the tiredient was during winter when the C-Rank beast that was protecting it was drowsy due to hibernation

But it was still su the C-Rank beast off guard He had to either avoid the beast completely or kill it then and there Because the beast would keep on following his trail if he tries to break free after getting detected

That’s why he was depending upon Reen’s senses She was scanning the area with her ic beast And since she was a demon beast, the mana beast won’t necessarily act in a hostilescanned by her senses

“Uood news is that the beast is old and injured It’s a tiger type beast that is suffering fro on a raised platfore rock located on the other side of the river Not very far from here

The bad news is that the beast who er type beast that is also suffering fro wound on its abdomen It seems there was a turf war

The nearest beast froo of the ingredient it is protecting The young beast that has won the turf battle wants to ins for the next ti to attack the young beast at night to take care of it for good, allowing it to secure both the turf and the ingredient necessary for evolution”

Eren was left aghast by the amount of information that was provided to him He couldn’t help but ask:

“Reen, who told you about the beasts’ past and their current plans?”

“The beasts themselves They first asked me about the reason forby before enquiring them about their current situation They were relieved by my answer and told me these on their own

Oh! They also told et the hierarchy and start to fight withabout the consequences”

Reen said all this like it was thein the world Eren slapped his forehead after hearing her explanations Of course! She was a demon beast and could communicate with beasts of all kinds He had subconsciously started treating her like a person So he forgot about the peculiarity of the demon beasts

Then the realization hit hied was not only a demon beast in its hibernation but also the one that had been worn down by the constant turf battles with another of its kind

But that realization didn’t help Eren in his current predicament He could create a distraction for the old beast and take the ingredient fro away

The C-Rank ingredient was going to be hidden and not get easily located But with treasure-finder Reen beside him, he wasn’t worried too much about that fact He knew he’d find Malva Hibiscus, retrieve it, and be long gone before the injured beast could snap out of the distraction and do so about it

But the second beast had complicated matters If he encroaches on the disputed land, both the beast will get focused on eli their quarrel

That meant the battle was evident if he decides to make his move now And he wasn’t ready for such a battle at all Even with a non-battle type deside hiic beasts in the C-Rank Plus, he needed to adjust his battle style to his current equipment and BTP level He couldn’t just enter the fray blindsided without fine-tuning his battle skills to his current standards

Eren’s h It ca all the facts at its disposal

He needed to retreat and come up with a different plan The butcher wasn’t suicidal Neither was he so assured of the benefits

Eren retreated the way he ca a second s up a little before coain But when his plans succeed, he won’t just have the ingredient but also the bodies of two C-Rank beasts He couldthem off in a black market

Two days had passed and Eren was back at the check-post again Marla aiting for him there as they had planned

“Holy Artee already? Whaaa… what did you do?”
