Chapter 17 (1/2)

Some distance away, in a wide-open area littered with boulders and rocks, ten adventurers who seemed to be beta players were locked in mortal combat with the two-headed horned wolf

[Two-Headed Horned Wolf] [Magic Points: 315/340] [Hit Points: 372/415] [Total Combat Power: 499]

The beta players were all at around 200 combat power The party was coician, plus soreatshi+eld

A ni the wolf's attention When it tried to approach her, a shi+eld-holder ie the shi+elder took was healed by a , the warriors swiftly attacked with axes and spears

Was this what good cooperation looked like? The beta players were er than any single one of the players, I couldn't i at all

But the wolf continued to toss around the warriors, all the while just barely avoiding being wounded too severely The two heads were acting on their own Completely unpredictable The party's assault had stalled

The left head was raht head caling their attacks

The asn't exactly the mad beast that I met that first time… I didn't knohat happened then Perhaps it-they really was an alpha tester like me

If this continued, I was quite sure they'd lose But what if… what if I joined in? The as still putting up a good fight Maybe I could tip the scale?

Worst case scenario, I'd get killed alongside theic in half anyway I could handle being weakened for a while

Alright, charge! But Blobsy's fragile, so 'lie low over there, okay?'

”WhSo!”

The first one to realize was the boielding woained more power, in mist form, I now covered an area of several square meters

”Somebody check for new info!”

”shi+t, who'd have tiot it! It's the white mist monster! Not a new one, so to the newest location update, it's getting here really quickly!”

”Cootta be!”

Event? Was there an event going on? And the corporation was even exposing our locations for the beta players to hunt us?

”It's intangible! We need one ro it!”

”Got it! We'll buy soht, freak, co at ht

I wasn't justas they could see me, they would [Fear] nificant And while e received froht would be a lot si me away, but they'd probably just run around to waste icians were ht where they didn't want me to

I pretended to chase after the two At the sae of irl as busy healing the shi+eld-holder My tendril of hh!!!”

”shi+t, it attacked us? Support!”

”You two, co played hell with ain, but I couldn't afford to be distracted here

I couldn't stay and leisurely absorb the healer here The whole party would just gang up on me So I circled around to her back, turned to hurabbed her neck and usedto the bandit leader, to slice it open

All players, all huht spot No e

The white-robed girl collapsed in a daze The beta players were flabbergasted, and their shock quickly turned into an uproar But the one most surprised was me – from the corner of my vision, I saw the calmer head of the wolf looked at round turned into light particles and disappeared The beta testers started to panic

”What the fuck is this thing?! It just turned huuys, we can handle this! Anyone who can do healing ic, help the tank!”

”Gotta deal with this white one firs-”

”shi+t, the Cerberus-aaaagh!!!”

The two-headed wolf… the Cerberus, apparently? They sent the tank flying and pinned him down

The tank covered his The warriors attacked the Cerberus all at once to rescue hio of him!”

”Quick, heal, heal!”

The moment the beta players were distracted by the wolf, I returned to gas and attacked thespell

”daeting the supporters first!”

”Melee people, help!”

The ician held himself in a ready stance with his staff, even while I was enveloping hi

But I wasn't going to do that all the tiaseous form, my hue

I was delaying theas the Cerberus took the opportunity to finish off the tank, we should have athis

…but my expectations were betrayed
