Chapter 198: Elite-level Monster (I)
......

......
Running away from a strong enemy is not a "mistake" in itself, after all, it is not an enemy that you have to face for moral or ideal reasons, and it is only a wise decision to avoid this kind of battle, which not only has a lower chance of winning, but is more likely to cost your life.

The problem is that Kamyi's escape was tantamount to turning his back on his companions. Just as Wesley and the other three were about to deal with the one-eyed troll, as the leader of the four-person team, the rich boy immediately fled in fright without giving any orders, making the situation of the other three a bit of a dilemma.
"Ha, haha...... It's embarrassing that I'm so scared of a monster that I can run away......"
The trembling words that were about to collapse in his mouth made people feel a little miserable and pitiful, but he did not deserve sympathy at all for his fate.
However, Moore has somewhat revised his understanding of Kamui, and being able to understand his embarrassment shows that there is still a possibility of reform.
"Well, there's no good way, it's that monster that's too strong...... You can't be blamed for everything. ”
Wesley, who sighed softly and comforted his "master", did not have the slightest reproach in his words. This shows his deep affection for his playmates over the years.
"And then what happened? He ran away, and then what? You fought that monster? Why did you two fall into the river again, and what about your other two companions...... Where have they gone?"
Vina didn't say anything polite, neither Kamui nor Wesley, the sorceress wasn't even interested in what was going on with them.
She was interested in the monster.
"Alas...... I'm ashamed that this is how things are. ”
Sighing again, his somewhat complicated eyes shifted from Kamyi, who was still trembling from his trembling eyes, to Vina, and Wesley, with a guilty look on his face, finally began to tell what had happened next.
"Kamuita...... The escape was the moment the monster was discovered, no, it should be said that the monster found us, and after the tremor of the earth, the one-eyed monster immediately rushed towards us from a long distance......"
"Wait a minute, are you sure? It's the monster attacking you?"
Vina interrupted Wesley's speech in surprise. According to her understanding, any monster in the magic school will not take the initiative to attack humans, and the monsters will only attack if they are attacked, or they are "companions" - similar monsters within a certain range of the vicinity, they will only "fight back" when they are attacked.
Of course, there are exceptions, and that is that there is a unique "lord" monster in each area. This monster has a much higher strength than ordinary monsters, and even the lords of low-level areas have quite terrifying strength, for example, the lord monsters of the village area are difficult to defeat even if they are B-rank students alone.
Lord monsters will actively attack those humans who invade their "territory", however, due to the restrictions of enchantment magic on the edge of their territory, people will receive a prompt when approaching it, and if they don't want to challenge the lord, they will be rejected by enchantment magic, so the phenomenon of provoking the lord by accident will never happen.
Returning to the monster that Wesley encountered this time, if it really took the initiative to attack Wesley's party, then there are probably only two relatively reasonable explanations: first, it is the lord of this area, and second, it is "the same kind" as the dwarfs who were annihilated by Wesley and his party.
But in reality, neither of these two possibilities is logical. The lord monster of the Plains is said to be a giant "three-headed wolf", and besides, this cyclops has no resemblance to the dwarfs except for the fact that he only has one eye.
Unless...... It's mutated, but it's not really a wild creature, it's a monster created by magic, so maybe something is wrong with the magic that created and controlled them?
I'm afraid I can only think about it this way.
"Yes...... There shouldn't be a mistake, such a powerful monster roared and rushed towards us, I couldn't think of anything other than wanting to attack us. ”
Pondering the fact that the monster had taken the initiative to attack, perhaps remembering the terrifying might of its charge, Wesley shuddered as well.
"It'...... It rushed at a much faster speed than I thought it would, and I had barely had time to lay a flame trap and it was there. Ah, by the way, my other two companions are guards who use shields and one-handed swords and can use some defensive magic and body-enhancing magic, and the other is a beginner disciple of a priest who can use two blessing spells. ”
“...... Well, I just want to know how you fought off that monster, and I'm not interested in knowing what your companion is good at!"
"Vena, don't say that. Vina, who seemed to have changed because of the impetuous breath in the air, was met with a rather gentle "reproach" from Moore, and the warrior, who seemed to be completely unaffected by the environment, took two steps forward and said to Wesley, "I'm sorry, she's not usually like this. ”
"It's okay...... Ms. Vina is right, but I'm too verbose...... Yes. Wesley was a little "flattered" by Moore's apology, but when he wanted to get up and salute back, he suddenly felt his waist sink and sat back on the ground weakly.
"Wesley, are you alright?"
Troy, who had been silent until now, projecting only curious glances, finally spoke, and he leaned closer to ask a question with a caring face, and received a friendly answer.
"It's okay, thank you for your concern, I'm fine, it's just a little sprain, let's continue to talk about that monster. Whew......"
Exhaling heavily, Wesley, squeezing out a little smile, seemed to be silent for a moment as he gathered his thoughts.
"Lady Vena still overestimated us, talking about repelling, we didn't hold out for even a round in front of that monster. The flame trap I had laid was unaffected, and with a single blow it destroyed the shield of my fellow guard, knocking her into the air. ”
"yes......"
Slightly sobered up from the fog of restlessness because of Moore's words, Vina, who was reflecting on herself, muttered apologetically.
