Chapter 1785 - Distraction Strategy (1/2)

Three hours passed by, and Grimm Monsters are still searching for me like crazy, and in this past hour, their search had become crazier. They are searching through everything, attacking anything under which they think I am hiding.

Seeing the way they are searching for me again had made me question what this ruin has to make them act like it.​​

Chew Chew!

Ashlyn again chirped in a warning, and I quickly hid behind the wall. With the way they are searching for me, I had been hiding every few minutes and wasn't able to create much distance from them.

There is nothing I could do about my speed; it is the fastest I could go in this encirclement, and I would be continuing with my cautious pace. I don't want to be hasty and get caught; once that happens, I would be surely dead seeing a number of Grimm Monsters present in my vicinity.

Soon, the soul sense of Grimm Monster disappeared, but I waited for a minute before I continue with my journey. Some Grimm Bastards act like they left before suddenly expanding their soul sense, it had happened to me a couple of times, and I had nearly got caught.

So, I weighted for a minute at least before leaving my hiding spot.

Seeing my state, I wonder how Professor is doing; they must have swarmed at her spot too. Still, I don't think she is in as much trouble as me or in any trouble at all given her current power, but nothing could be said when Leader Class Tyrant is being involved.

Another hour had passed, and in the past hour, I only had to hide for only three times, which is much less than before. The more distance I create between my landing spot, the fewer Grimm Monsters I encounter.

Chew Chew!

Suddenly Ashlyn chirped again, and this time her chirped is even more hurried. Hearing what she meant, expressions on my face changed immediately, and I leaped at the best-hidden spot, a place between two huge twining trees.

The Elite is coming; since I started running, I always steered clear of the Elites, but even then, I was not able to avoid them fully. Two times, their soul sense had scanned over me, and fortunately, they were not able to discover me.

That does not mean they will not discover me. If some elite's soul sense is especially strong and using some special ability, they might able to discover me.

To give me a little edge over something like that, I had asked Ashlyn to guide me toward an energy-dense area; where this ruin's energies are densest. Those energies would disrupt the soul senses and give me an edge.
