60 An Horde of Crabs (1/2)

Boris couldn't move his body so all he could do was a curse but the moment he said fatty, Lardo jerked a bit and slightly trembled a bit.

”It was Big Bro's order.”

Lardo didn't explain any further but even an idiot like Boris could understand what's going on. Boris soon connected the dots and figured out everything.

His face turned red in shame or anger; Shameful that he could figure something spoken in front of him and anger being a luggage and dead weight for his friends.

Even then he didn't blame his Big Bro, to some extent his admiration towards Quinn increased for prediction the battle with this precision.

'How could a 5-year-old kid make such eyes and there's even a hint of Killer Intent concealed deep inside'

He murmured in an inaudible tone with worry and disbelief oozing out unconsciously. The Blind old guy was really shaken to the core; one can't develop such passive Killer Intent without killing masses and a little kid couldn't possibly have any such bloody past.

'Is he born with it, what sort of ominous origin gave birth to such a devil for a kid'

He was expecting something interesting not this hot potato type of thing; if he was ignorant or uninformed about such an entity he could just ignore or go around it but he just had to poke his nose and pull himself into such a mess.

'It's like dropping the stone on his legs; *SIGH* what a blunder.... Whatever I'll sort it out later.'

The blind guy started regretting having such an expensive hobby.

Quinn nodded seeing Lardo's swift action while he focuses more on fighting the beast; actually, after immobilizing it Quinn could just escape with his friends to the lake but if the crab somehow called for reinforcement it would turn into an absolute tragedy or if it cautions other crabs then their next few days might turn fruitless.

So he must stay behind to finish it off once and for all to weed out any future troubles. But killing it was easier said than done; the Crab had a really thick skin and breaking its other legs aren't a viable strategy.

The negligence and distractions were only reason Quinn managed to cripple its legs; now that it's entirely focusing on Quinn he couldn't even get near its joints much less break them.

Quinn couldn't come up with any plan except killing it through exhaustion and his Body Refining Art really came in handy as it gave him marvelous endurance.

Whilst Quinn was planning his next course of action while fighting with the crab Lardo cover half the course and Kallis crossed three-fourth the distance.

All of them were worried about the friends' safety and were itching to lend a helping hand but their inability or lack of strength fettered them.

This instant the situation abruptly changed; the Crab's telepathic connection has a boundary and Kallis just crossed over that boundary a while ago. The crab felt utter despair and helplessness took over it, the crab stopped its relentless attack.

The Crab sent a deep gloomy screech and then with a sudden burst of energy its shell was lit with innumerable tiny sparks. Immediately Quinn retreated and got into defense stance; he knew for a fact that cornered animals are much more dangerous let alone a beast like this Giant Crab.

The bright sparks on the dark black shell were like the starry sky on earth, Quinn was completely mesmerized by its beauty. He unconsciously let his guard down while deeply immersing into the magnificent scenery.

'So that's why they are called Dark Star Crabs'
