This kind of request, Loaire naturally quickly agreed.

In fact, if Cyberdart doesn't say it, she will change it. After all, it's for the inspiration of the story, not for the biography.

Seth is a very low-key person.

But there are always people, including Lucina, who think he's narcissistic.

Cyberdat felt that this was very wronged and unjust.

But most people think that there is nothing wrong with such an evaluation.

Probably because of the different criteria for judging narcissism.

Seth felt that he had to take a small mirror and look at it all day and be self-absorbed.

But Lucina insisted that that kind of person was completely narcissistic and hopeless. But that doesn't mean Seth isn't narcissistic.

Anyway, whatever they say, this elven ranger won't admit it.

Observing the darkness around him in the snow and mist, Cyberdart hopes to spot anything that is wrong and help him in his defense.

Unfortunately, aside from the sudden disappearance of the footprints, there are no other anomalous objects that can be used as clues.

As the position of the footprints shrank shorter and shorter, the ranger's movements slowed down.

The closer you get to the target, the more cautious and slow down – in order to ensure a quick response in the event of an extreme situation.

Otherwise, if you don't react for a moment, you may not know how to die.

Slowing down the body's movements can effectively increase the sense of crisis and remind the brain to maintain the highest degree of vigilance.

It could almost be said to be an active hint.

Five, four, three...... As he approached at a steady pace, Cyberdart, who was only a meter away from the last footprint, suddenly stopped and felt a little strange.

The snow scene ahead doesn't seem so natural.

If you look closely, you don't need to use Eagle Eye to see that the trail of the snowflakes falling at the last footprint is slightly different from the others.

It was as if they had been blown aside by something.

Fortunately, Cyberdat noticed the problem early and didn't come any closer.

Otherwise, you will definitely be caught off guard.

At the place of the last footprint, a dark shadow that had originally melted into the night and could not be seen through by night vision suddenly churned, and almost instantly molded into the shape of a hugger—just as Seth thought, a humanoid monster. Moreover, it was obviously premeditated to throw the four sharp blades behind the back of Cyberdart, who was only one meter away, and launched a warm "hug".

Obviously, it turned into a shadow and hid here through the darkness, just to notice Cyberdart's tracking and want to ambush him! If it weren't for the snowflakes revealing its location, it's hard to say whether the ranger would have come close to check on it, and whether he would have been hit by that deadly hug that caught people off guard!

Meticulous observation saved his life. Although the prepared Saibodat was taken aback, he quickly reacted and rolled to the side on the spot, dodging the hugger's famous move "Hug Blow".

I was right, it was indeed a humanoid monster - but why the hugger?!, remembering what Lucina and York had said last night, Seth couldn't help but panic in the bottom of his heart: Does this have anything to do with the hugger who killed the one he summoned? But...... It's supposed to be dead, huh?

No, it's certainly not a coincidence!

What about the spherical shadow monster that can control human bodies? Could it be that it hasn't been wiped out at all, and is still roaming around here? Or ...... It's now lodged on the hugger in front of me?!

That makes sense! But......

Tons of questions filled his mind for a moment, but Seth didn't have time to think about it. Fierce battles often do not give people a chance to breathe.

At this time, while Sebdat got up with one hand on the ground and quickly retreated, he was also splashed with the snow that was lifted. While putting aside all doubts and focusing only on the present, the hugger's four green eyes stared at Seth, forcing him to ask himself a question: What exactly is the next step?

Shall I run away, or shall I kill him?

York had mentioned before that he had heard from the guards that the dead one was just an ordinary hugger, unlike the high-ranking huggers, who would discharge and set fire. So even though the level of danger is high, as long as you deal with it carefully.

The elite Ice Dragon Knight had single-handedly slain the monster - albeit with two or three terrifying cuts.

But at that time, the knight was wearing a very solid metal armor instead of paper armor, and he had unloaded some of the impact. According to York, the wound was so deep that the torn plate armor had been embedded in the flesh. So it's enough to see how hard and sharp the four bendable blades behind the hugger are.

Don't look at the armor being cut, not wearing it will only make the injury worse. There are always people who think that the armor that can't block the attack is the same as not wearing it, but sometimes the death and serious injury are just the difference between the so-called "useless" armor. Of course...... If the Ice Dragon Knight had been pierced by a sharp blade at that time, the armor would have been useless. Cut injuries can be mitigated, but penetrating injuries are really not saved.

But like Cyberdart, there is no armor protection, and any move is basically a big "death" word.

Maybe...... Scratching with a claw doesn't count.

But if the hugger does catch someone, it can be assumed that he will immediately perform the most intimidating move: grab the enemy with both claws and pierce him through the back with a sharp blade from the back.

In general, there are two scenarios for hugging blows.

The first is what was said above. The most conventional way to do it.

The second is the one that was previously used against Cyberdart. Stab your enemy with a blade in the back, pull them over, and then stab them to death with your powerful arms.

Some people may be curious, doesn't the hugger stab themselves by attacking the enemy they have caught?

Not really. They're not stupid. But if you really stab it, you're not afraid. Their armor protects themselves from stabbing from blades in their backs.

The armor of the Hugger is incomparably strong. The strength is higher than those four blades.

It is extremely difficult for a normal weapon to pierce the hugger. To kill him, you have to try to attack the monster's two weak points: its face without carapace protection and its softer belly.

Either attack is not easy. The Ice Dragon Knight chose to attack the abdomen. Fortunately, he hit the weak spot and killed him with a sword.

At this time, the hugger who had missed the first move glared at the elf with his huge one-eyed eyes, and his claws violently struck and rubbed, bursting out with a fierce crisp sound. At the same time, a fierce charge was launched towards the retreating Cyberdart.
